<div>This book will be of particular interest to undergraduates of performing arts and the substantial community of those engaged in storytelling, and fills a noticeable void in an emerging field of scholarship.

It includes critical analysis of a range of practices alongside interviews with key contemporary practitioners about their work.</div>
