      abstract = {"Simon Shepherd explains the origins of performance  theory, defines the terms and practices within the field  and provides new insights into performance's wide range of  definitions and uses. Offering an overview of the key  figures, their theories and their impact, Shepherd provides  a fresh approach to figures including Erving Goffman and  Richard Schechner and ideas such as radical art practice,  performance studies, radical scenarism and performativity.  Essential reading for students, scholars and enthusiasts,  this engaging account travels from universities into the  streets and back again to examine performance in the  context of political activists and teachers,  countercultural experiments and feminist challenges, and  ceremonies and demonstrations."--Provided by publisher.},
