      abstract = {This book examines how a predominantly negative view of  community has presented a challenge to critical analysis of  community performance practice. The concept of community as  a form of class-based solidarity has been hollowed out by  postmodernisms questioning of grand narratives and  poststructuralisms celebration of difference. Alongside the  critique of a notion of community has been a critical  re-signification of community, following the thinking of  philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy who conceives of community not  as common being but as being-in-common. The concept of  community as being-in-common generates questions that have  been taken up by feminist geographers, J.K. Gibson-Graham,  in theorising a post-capitalist approach to community-based  development. These questions and approaches guide the  analyses in researched case studies of community  performance practice. The book revises theoretical debates  that have defined the field of community theatre and  performance. It asks how the critical re-signification of  community aligns with these debates and, at the same time,  opens new modes of critical analysis of community theatre  and performance practice.
