It positions theatrical practice within broader communication and culture, highlighting how stage work, radio and television drama, and regional movements connect performers, thinkers, and audiences.

as the conveying or exchangingof information and idea.This wide definition is taken as thestarting-point for this series of books,which are not bound byconventional academic divisions.The series aims to documentor analyse a broad range of cultural forms and ideas.  \nIt encompasses works from areas as esoteric as linguisticsand as exoteric as television.The language of communicationmay be the written work or the moving picture,the static iconor the living gesture.These means of communicating can attheir best blossom into and form an essential part of the othermysterious concept,culture.  \nThere is no sharp or intended split in the series betweencommunication and culture.On one definition,culture refersto the organisation of experience shared by members of acommunity,a process which includes the standards and valuesfor judging or perceiving,for predicting and acting.In thissense,creative communication can make for a better andlivelier culture.  \nThe series reaches towards the widest possible audience.Some of the works concern themselves with activities as generalas play and games;others offer a narrower focus,such as theways of understanding the visual image.It is hoped that somemoves in the transformation of the artful and the scientific canbe achieved,and that both can begin to be understood by awider and more comprehending community.Some of thesebooks are written by practitioners-broadcasters,journalistsand artists;others come from critics,scholars,scientists andhistorians.  \nThe series has an ancient and laudable,though perhapsuntenable,aim-an aim as old as the Greeks and as new asholography:it aspires to help heal the split between cultures,between the practitioners and the thinkers,between scienceand art,between the academy and life.  \n100
