Inhaltsangabe

Performing Emancipatory Rites of Passage illuminates an unexpected connection between ancient ritual structures and contemporary applied theater practices.

The book’s interdisciplinary case studies, by contributors from Performance Studies, Music, Anthropology, Black Studies, Education, Psychology, and Cultural Activism, reveal the enduring power of rites of passage in today's diverse, multicultural society, expanding beyond their traditional role of preserving social structures to opening spaces for all. From jazz funerals in New Orleans to reintegration projects for formerly incarcerated individuals, the chapters demonstrate how performance-based transitions continue to guide individuals and communities through profound change, even when challenging mainstream values.

This volume is essential reading for students, practitioners, and scholars of performance studies and applied theater as well as anthropology, education, and religion.
