- W1526199867 abstract "This study re-conceptualises the community play as an aspect of contemporaryBritish theatre. In the context of the idea of an arts entitlement which hastwo components, participation and enjoyment, it examines three antecedentsto current practice. These are: theatre and empowerment, which looks at thework of Brecht and Boal on conceptions of the audience; outreach work, whichexamines the de-mystification of art by looking at the relationship betweentheatre and education and community arts, which focuses on harnessing thecreative potential of ordinary people. The lines of development which linkthese three areas to the community play are investigated. The history andorigins of the form are outlined and Ann Jellicoe's work with the ColwayTheatre Trust is examined.The study offers a new conceptual vocabulary for the analysis of communityplaymaking which has three principal terms: aesthetic materialism - adevelopment of Marxist principles as they relate to a consideration of theaesthetic circumstances of the people; aesthetic justice - an application ofBeardsley's concept to contemporary society and current theatre practice; andcommunal theatre - a new term developed as a result of this study whichclarifies the differences between participation and collaboration in the makingof community theatre. These three concepts are united by their relationship tothe rejection of bourgeois control of cultural capital which underpins theinvestigative stance of the study.Contemporary society is characterised by the study as aesthetically unjust andthe main questions it asks relate the search for aesthetic justice to thedeveloping form of the community play. The theoretical investigations of thestudy are contextualized by fieldwork which consisted of a participantobservation case study of the community department of the Belgrade theatre,Coventry. This spanned two years and focused on the 1992 Coventrycommunity play Diamonds in the Dust.The study concludes with a comparison of the main forms of participatorytheatre in the 1990s which offers a means of identifying the heuristic value ofthe various models of community playmaking with respect to their potentialfor empowerment and contribution to aesthetic justice. The implications of thestudy are that the participatory element of the arts entitlement needs to bestrengthened into true collaboration between the professionals and the non-professionalsinvolved in order to ensure equality of access to, and popularcontrol of, the cultural capital which is symbolised by the community play.Communal theatre projects of this sort are assessed as being able to promotethe kind of shared experience which is necessary for the development of amore aesthetically just society." @default.
