"newARTtheatre's greatest value may be that of a historical document of the understanding of a specific set of performance practices in its own time of making. The fresh and speculative perspective of these artists grappling with the evolving paradigm of the tightening entanglement between performance and visual artist is worth a read now and may be rich material for historians to come." --Jess Wilcox, The Brooklyn Rail

One of the hotly debated current issues is the turn by visual artists towards theatre as a way of working, by using plays, acting and rehearsal techniques for their art. The first of the new "Performance Ideas" books by PAJ, this volume includes playwright and curator Paul David Young in dialogue with many crossover artists, including Pablo Helguera, Liz Magic Laser, David Levine, Janet Cardiff, Alix Pearlstein, and Michael Smith, who offer wide-ranging views on performance, video, photography, and sound.

Paul David Young, a Contributing Editor to PAJ: A Journal of Performance and Art, also writes on performance for Art in America. His work has been produced at MoMA PS1, Marlborough Gallery, the Living Theatre, Lion Theatre, Kaffileikhusid in Reykjavik, and elsewhere. His play In the Summer Pavilion, presented at the New York International Fringe Festival and at 59e59 Theaters, has been made into a feature film. Young is a recipient of the Kennedy Center's Paula Vogel Playwriting Award for his play No One But You. He translated (with Carl Weber) Anatomy Titus Fall of Rome and Macbeth, which appear in Heiner Müller After Shakespeare. Young also co-curated Perverted by Theatre at apexart in New York.
