Publisher description
This book argues that the forms of intimacy and identification that come from being part of the public of a local performance, provide a potential model for rethinking our roles as world citizens. Using his own experience of recent theatrical practice in Vancouver as a starting point, Dickinson maps the spaces of connection and contestation, the flows of sentiment and social responsibility, produced by different communities in response to global sports spectacles. He also analyzes how such topics are taken up in the work of playwrights, conceptual, installation, and performance artists like Ai Weiwei and Rebecca Belmore
