Reviews for Histories and Practices of Live Art

'A comprehensive treatment of the key issues in the history of performance practice. This book provides a much needed overview of the field as it has developed over the last half century. Heddon and Klein are to be congratulated for having instigated and compiled a coherent anthology made of autonomous and yet mutually enhancing components.' - Laurie Beth Clark, University of Wisconsin, USA
