"From his childhood in the 'Jewish heart' of Brooklyn to his memorable production of Endgame in the 1960s, Herbert Blau's autobiography provides not only more of Blau's penetrating insights into dramatists like Beckett and into the complex cross-currents of the American experimental theatre of this turbulent period. It is also a rich, deeply felt and powerfully expressed chronicle of cultural change that goes far beyond specific theatrical productions to offer a valuable personal view of the years that did so much to shape the contemporary world, expressed by one of the theatre community's...

As If: An Autobiographyvolume 1
ISBN: 9780472117789 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As If: An Autobiography traces the complex life and career of director, scholar, and theorist Herbert Blau, one of the most innovative voices in the American theater. From his earliest years on the streets of Brooklyn, with gang wars there, to the often embattled, now-legendary Actor's Workshop of San Francisco, the powerfully told story of Blau's first four decades is also a social history, moving from the Great Depression to the cold war, with fallout from "the balance of terror" on what he once described in an incendiary manifesto as The Impossible Theater.

Programming Theater History: The Actor's Workshop of San Francisco
ISBN: 9780415516693 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Herbert Blau founded, with Jules Irving, the legendary Actor's Workshop of San Francisco, in 1952. Over the course of the next 13 years and its 100 or so productions, it introduced American audiences to plays by Brecht, Beckett, Pinter, and various unknown others. Most of the productions were accompanied by a concise programme note by Blau. These documents now comprise a critique of the modern theatre. This book curates these notes, with a selection of the Workshop's incrementally artful, alluring programme covers.

Dubious Spectacle: Extremities of Theater, 1976-2000
ISBN: 9780816638130 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Spanning a quarter of a century, the essays in this book rehearse, in the movement of memory and cross-reflection, an extensive career in theater. The work of Herbert Blau-his directing, writing, and criticism-has been a determining force during this period as theater encounters theory. Blau's struggle to bring a critical intelligence to the American stage goes back half a century, to the quiescent postwar years (which he has eloquently described in The Impossible Theater: A Manifesto). His innovations in performance began with early productions of now-canonical plays that were...

Herbert Blau here reflects on performance as it moved from the theatricalized activism of the sixties into the theoretical activism of the eighties.
