Wendy Arons and Theresa May are pleased to announce publication of their co-edited volume, Readings in Performance and Ecology by Palgrave MacMillian (2012).  This groundbreaking collection of essays (with contributions by Una Chadhuri, Bruce McConachie, Barry Witham, Downing Cless, Sara Freeman, and others) focuses on how theatre, dance and other forms of performance are helping to transform our ecological values, and how theatre and dance can help us understand the ways we are integrally connected to the land and its many communities (human and non-human).  The volume arises in part out of the Earth Matters on Stage Festival, founded by Theresa May and Larry Fried. EMOS took place at Humboldt State in 2004, University of Oregon in 2009, and at Carnegie Mellon University this past spring, 2012.
