DIY Too (2015)

A follow-up and continuation of the first book (DIY). Devised by Robert Daniels, and featuring contributions from some of the most prominent and prolific independent artists, critics and producers working in contemporary theatre and performance. Part book, part ‘Zine’, this book addresses a wide range of perspectives on “DIY” Art, and gives voice to a new generation of theatre and performance makers.  DIY and DIY Too both include contributions from some of the most prominent and prolific independent artists, critics and producers working within the discipline. The title – DIY – refers to a number of critical, creative and political ethos’. Particularly unique to a post-punk and UK-centric Live Art and new-theatre canon, both books have contributions from international artists, and cover a wide range of fields, practices and theories.
