Scope and Contents

This book is "an introduction to happenings, kinectic environments, and other mixed-media performances." Nine members of the 1960's avant garde discuss their works with Kostelanetz in the new theatre forms, including John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, Allan Kaprow, Claes Oldenberg and La Monte Young. Richard Kostelanetz contributes two essays interpreting the new theatre in terms of its historical, social and aesthetic meaning. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
