Drawing on the notion of a ""welcome table""-a space where artists of all backgrounds can come together as equals to create theatre-the book's contributors discuss casting practices as they relate to varying communities and contexts, including Middle Eastern American theatre, Disability culture, multilingual performance, Native American theatre, color- and culturally-conscious casting, and casting as a means to dismantle stereotypes. Syler and Banks suggest that casting is a way to invite more people to the table so that the full breadth of US identities can be reflected onstage, and that casting is inherently a political act; because an actor's embodied presence both communicates a dramatic narrative and evokes cultural assumptions associated with appearance, skin color, gender, sexuality, and ability, casting choices are never neutral. By bringing together a variety of artistic perspectives to discuss common goals and particular concerns related to casting, this volume features the insights and experiences of a broad range of practitioners and experts across the field.    As a resource-driven text suitable for both practitioners and academics, Casting a Movement seeks to frame and mobilize a social movement focused on casting, access, and representation."  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aTheatre direction and production2bicssc 7aTheatre studies2bicssc  aAudition, Blackface, Colourblind, Diversity, Ensemble, Ethical, Race, Redface, Representation, Whiteface, culturally conscious casting, social movement, welcome table1 aBanks, Daniel4edt1 aBanks, Daniel4oth1 aSyler, Claire4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/3849070zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c92730d92730
