Preface: From Margin to Center

Abstract

I n A History of Collective Creation , we argued that collective creation, far from being a phenomenon of the 1960s (an anomaly within the history of modern European and American theatre practices, which are dominated by the single playwright and the authoritative director), may be better understood as a parallel tradition emerging circa 1900 in response to the rise of the director. We further proposed that modern collective creation practices evolved in three waves: the first, beginning at the turn of the century, cresting in the 1930s, diminishing circa 1933/34 in response to the international effects of events in Germany and the Soviet Union, and all but disappearing by the start of World War II; the second, building slowly in the wake of World War II and cresting in the 1960s and early 1970s; and the third, beginning in the late 1980s These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
