Written with performance-maker and scholar Robert Quillen Camp, “Postshow Theater” opens with this question: “Why do experimental theater-makers persist in making 'shows'—rather than, say, encounters, parades, meals, businesses, vehicles, protests, games, or vacations?” Moving on from the opening provocation, the essay explores a number of theater artists flirting with formal transgression and proposes a conceptual framework for “postshow” theatrical practice. It was published in 2014 in Yale’s Theater as a preface to the “script” from After the Show (2013).
