peer agreement (net): +1street theatre Explanation: Street theatre is a form of theatrical performance and presentation in outdoor public spaces without a specific paying audience. These spaces can be anywhere, including shopping centres, car parks, recreational reserves and street corners. They are especially seen in outdoor spaces where there are large numbers of people. The actors who perform street theatre range from buskers to organised theatre companies or groups that want to experiment with performance spaces, or to promote their mainstream work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_theatre Straattheater.Net is sinds 1999 hét informatiepunt voor straattheater en locatietheater in Nederland en België, voor zowel het publiek, als de professional.

His group, Warner & Consorten, consists of visual artists, musicians, dancers and builders. Their work is research orientated and centred on the interdisciplinary street arts. http://www.dogtroep.nl/eng/index3.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 56 mins (2010-02-11 15:05:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- well, a sub-category of street theatre may be called: location-specific theatre Dogtroep is a company of visual artists creating location specific theatre. Dogtroep was founded in 1975 by amongst others - Warner van Wely, who developed a self-willed form of theatre out of protest against the inaccessibility of regular art. Images and music were central; text hardly played a role. (Photo: Threes Schreurs, Jos Zandvliet, Lino Hellings en Henriëtte van Reesema in Leningrad 1989) http://www.threesanna.com/node/473 |
