Title: Ecologies Of Theater
First published: 1996
Description: How do geography and climate influence a work? How is narrative embedded in landscape? What is the ecology of an image? In Ecologies of Theater, Bonnie Marranca elaborates a new perspective on performance that links ecology and aesthetics. She writes of dramaturgy as an ecology in the work of Robert Wilson, and the mus/ecology of John Cage; the autobiology of Rachel Rosenthal and spiritual style of Maria Irene Fornes and Meredith Monk; and the landscape histories of Heiner Muller and Isak Dinesen.

In more than two dozen essays, Marranca considers theater history and the modernist heritage in the context of landscape, culture, and art.
