Caryl Churchill's sensual textualities and the rebirth of text
Josephine Machon
pp. 201-216
Current practice has proven that performance continues to reinvent itself in this highly technological age. This is not only true of live art, contemporary dance and devised practice but it is also the case for playwriting. Since the 1990s, an approach to writing for performance has emerged which fuses the visceral and the technological in the very fibres of the text.1 Such playwriting has caused a paradigm shift in the process, forms and content of textual practice. It has served to reformulate live performance in the "traditional' theatre-writing arena, crossfertilizing the poetic and the political, the esoteric and the accessible. Most importantly, it continues to demand new strategies for performance and makes innovative interdisciplinary practice a prerequisite for production.
