Ethnodrama: An Anthology of Reality Theatre

by Johnny Saldaana

Seven ethnodramas illustrate this emerging genre of arts-based research, a burgeoning but evident trend in the field of theatre production itself. With their focus on the personal, immediate and contextual, these plays about marginalized identities, abortion, street life and oppression manage a unique balance between theoretical research and everyday realism.

Good overview with examples

Ethnodrama provides a wonderful overview of the field and the types of plays being created in this genre along with a variety of examples for people are who interested in seeing the breadth that can be covered. This is the first anthology I have found that has collected ethnodramas from different authors and that variety offers very useful examples for beginners. Johnny Saldana's introduction is comprehensive and well written.
