Melrose, Susan (2006) Constitutive ambiguities: writing professional or expert performance practices, and the Theatre du Soleil, Paris. In: Contemporary theatres in Europe. Kelleher, Joe and Ridout, Nicholas, eds. Routledge, pp. 120-135. ISBN 0415329396. [Book Section]
Abstract
The chapter focuses on aspects of Mnouchkine's work with Theatre du Soleil which are under-examined in published writing, namely the required expert/professional mastery of the practitioners, the explicit processes of evaluation central to the devising and staging, and the passionate, existential investment by the practitioners in the production; the interface between the operations of expert intuition in performance-making and production values specific to the discipline.
