Lively yet intriguing; The Body in Performance is a varied collection of essays about this much-discussed area. Posing the question "Why this current preoccupation with the performed body?" the collection of specially commissioned essays from both academics and practitioners - in some cases one and the same person - considers such cutting edge topics as the abject body and performance; censorship and live art; the presentation of violence on stage; carnal art; and the vexed issue of mimesis in the theatre. Drawing variously on the work of Franko B.; Orlan; Annie Sprinkle; Karen Finley; and Forced Entertainment; it concludes with a creative piece about a Famous New York Performance Artist. Contributors include Rebecca Schneider whose book The Explicit Body in Performance is a key text in this area; and Joan Lipkin; director and writer.

Pictorial History of the Past 70+ Years in ChathamBy SusanThis book is full of great photos of Chatham in the 1950s - 2010s; with the vast majority of the photos from earlier decades; and the newer shots for a "then now" comparison. Loads of great photos (mostly in color) with informative captions. This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone who loves Chatham.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
