Mitchell's treatise remains Canada's only full-length work of theatre theory that incorporates a concentrated cultural analysis and a performance practice rooted in modernist theatre theory, which simultaneously functions as a transformational spiritual communion and initiation for its practitioners and its audience. How then is it that it has remained out of print since its original publication in 1929? Creative Theatre is a decidedly unusual text in the annals of Canadian literature, challenging both fields with its recalcitrant presence. It is not a conventional or formally experimental dramatic or literary work, complicating the work of categorization. This re-publication reflects its rightful place in Canadian cultural discourse, as well as the growing interest in 'lost' modernist texts that offer a counter-narrative to received ideas and canons of Canadian literature, theatre, and culture. Mitchell's commitment to European avant-garde modernist theories and techniques highlights the importance of the Little Theatre movement in the country and its connection to the movements that followed. His equal devotion to theosophy, an occult movement with radical political leanings, arguably contests the image of the staid, protestant society of early-twentieth-century Canada"-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 650 0 $a Theater $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Theater and society. 650 0 $a Theater $z Canada $x History. 650 7 $a Theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149217 650 7 $a Theater and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149315 650 7 $a Theater $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149273 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Taylor, Jocelyn, $d 1899-1992, $e illustrator. 700 1 $a Duchesne, Scott K., $d 1968- $e writer of introduction. $e writer of introduction. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Mitchell, Roy, 1884-1944. $t Creative theatre. $b A critical edition. $d Ottawa : University of Ottawa Press, 2020 $z 9780776626635 $z 9780776626635 $w (OCoLC)1128870045 830 0 $a Canadian literature collection. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317014639.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A2489F82129911EBB48536AA50ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
