The happiest part of a project like this is the opportunity to acknowledge those individuals whose engagement was important to its development. Of the many who have read segments of this book, discussed its issues with me, or suggested further reading, a number deserve special mention: Rudolf Arnheim, Arnold Aronson, Enoch Brater, Allen Dunn, Linda Gregerson, Amy Koritz, William Lovitt, Mary E. Papke, Sheila M. Rabillard, and W. B. Worthen. Joseph Chaikin was kind enough to clarify a point concerning the staging of Struck Dumb, which I had seen two years earlier, and I am grateful to Deb Margolin for mailing me a videotape of her performance piece Gestation (and for allowing me to quote from it). Any study of the phenomenology of performance, of course, owes a debt to the work of Bert O. States, and I am additionally grateful for his friendship and support. Michael L. Quinn gave the manuscript a careful and insightful reading, and in its final form the book owes much to his shrewd suggestions.
Portions of this project were delivered at Modern Language Association Conventions (in San Francisco and Chicago), the South Atlantic Modern Language Association Convention (in Atlanta), the Association for Theater in Higher Education Conference (in San Diego), the Conference on New Languages for the Stage (in Lawrence, Kansas), and the International Shepard Symposium (in Brussels), and to audiences at the University of Michigan, the University of Florida, and the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am grateful for the many useful comments I received as a result of these presentations. I owe a particular debt, asalways, to my students—past and present, undergraduate and graduate—who formed the earliest audience for many of the book’s ideas.
