Community Engagement Through the Arts: Case Studies from Southeast Asia

By Thiagarajan Premalatha

The engagement of communities, and the contribution made to communities, have become important features of arts-related projects across the globe. Community Engagement through the Arts is a collection of studies from academicians, independent scholars, arts advocates, artists, and directors of performing arts companies from South East Asia. The book addresses a wide range of topics of interest including arts education in schools, empowering communities through arts, cultural tourism, sustainability of community projects, and dance as therapy. Asian studies of arts-based community projects are unusual, so this collection provides an important reference source for practitioners, teachers and students of performing arts and communal works, worldwide.
