    Explores modernism's complex relationship with contemporary theatre. This volume highlights modernism as an impulse that can be carried forward to the present, re-embodied and re-encountered in theatrical performance. It demonstrates how modernist impulses spark contemporary theatre in dynamic ways, continuing the modernist imperative to 'make it new' and to engage meaningfully with the complicated situation of living in the contemporary world. A diverse set of contributions from scholars and theatre practitioners examines the legacy of modernism on the world stage in acts of remembrance, restaging, transmission and slippage. It investigates both well-known and less familiar aspects of modernist theatre history, engaging topics such as the revival of the first Black American musical, feminist and disability-led reinterpretations of canonical modernist plays, the use of modernist-inspired performance practice in contemporary university arts education and the continually contested meaning and importance of the avant-garde. Adrian Curtin is Associate Professor of Drama at the University of Exeter. Nicholas Johnson is Associate Professor of Drama at Trinity College Dublin. Naomi Paxton is Knowledge Exchange Fellow at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London. Claire Warden is Professor of Performance and Physical Culture at Loughborough University.
