<p><i>Performing Climates </i>features 13 interconnected essays exploring theatre and performance¿s relationship with more-than-human elements at a time of climate emergency.</p><p>This book argues that Western performance ¿ how we conceive of it, as well as how we train and educate people in and about it ¿ needs to reorient its ways of making and thinking about itself to reconsider patterns of breakdown, decay and renewal happening on and off stage in a literal play of cells and particles. This book examines live performance as a <i>uniquely compostable artform, </i>formed by sonic vibrations and movements of air and matter, more-than-human elements, composition and decomposition.</p><p>This book will appeal to undergraduate audiences, postgraduate scholars and performance studies colleagues, offering exciting possibilities for reconsidering theatre and performing in an age of crisis.</p>
