In their previous book, Economies of Collaboration in Performance, Savage and Symonds explored the economy as a metaphor for understanding collaborative practices in the arts. This book, Ecologies of Community in Performance, continues to explore arts practices, focusing on communities and turning to the language of ecology to understand the complexities and working dynamics of arts communities. The book provides a thoughtful analysis of how communities work as ecologies, offering case studies of community processes by way of illustrating the main discussion. In doing so it reveals how the triangulation of ecology, community, and performance allows for a deeper understanding of dynamic relations in the arts, enabling scholars, practitioners and policy-makers to better conceptualise ecological thinking in relation to 21st century arts practices.
