An Alchemy of Living Culture

Collected Writings on Double Edge Theatre

A selection of Stacy Klein’s writings for and about Double Edge Theatre - a feminist ensemble and artist-run organisation founded in the US in 1982.

Featuring interviews, artists' statements, essays and speeches in which Klein articulates the mission of Double Edge Theatre as it evolves, as well as a scholarly introduction that situates the material in the wider theatre landscape, the volume as a whole captures the democratic spirit and boundary-pushing theatre that the company has championed.

The writings capture the theatrical and cultural practice to have come out of the theatre company Klein founded in 1982. It showcases the company's dedication to collective artistic creativity, cultural survival and sustained, equitable organization-building, with Klein's artistic and social vision at its centre.

It also celebrates the company's connections across the globe, including with Eastern European and South American theatres (such as Grenland Friteater, Norway, and Grupo Cultural Yuyachkani, Peru), and its links with rich theatrical traditions (such as the Laboratory Theatre, Poor Theatre, Street Theatre, and Theatre of the Oppressed).

An Alchemy of Living Culture offers first-hand insights into experimental creation across performance and speaks to a broad and multi-national community of theatre-makers.
