Realisms in East Asian Performance
Year: 2023
Type: book
Abstract: We are fortunate to be colleagues at the same institution, where Realisms in East Asian Performance developed out of our mutual interest in theatrical realism and shared observations about its many manifestations in the performance forms we study.Our early conversations resulted in the conference Realisms in East Asian Performing Arts, originally scheduled for May 2020 and reorganized in an online format in October 2020.In this volume's journey from preliminary discussions to conference to book, we are grateful for the generosity of a number of parties along the way.We first extend our gratitude to the scholars and performers who participated in the 2020 conference; their presentations and our discussions were critical in shaping the volume.We also thank the many people and UCSB campus units involved in the details of organizing and supporting the conference: East Asia Center academic coordinator Lisa McAllister and graduate student assistant Rebecca Wear for their problem-solving acumen and energy in planning and running a virtual conference and Eric Mills and Severo De La Cruz of our respective departments for coordinating finances during the lengthy process from conference through publication.
