* theory
* performers and performing
* voice, language and words
* spectators, space and time.
The book also includes an introduction which examines some of the crucial debates, past and present, surrounding African performance.
The Performance Arts of Africa
is an essential introduction for those new to the field and is an invaluable reference source for those already familiar with African performance.
