| Abstract: | The author proposes through five assertions that an ethnotheatre aesthetic emerges from theatre artists’: 1) creative approaches to stage productions of natural social life; 2) application of available and new theatrical forms, genres, and styles onto the ethnodramatic play script and its production; 3) integrity to truthfulness as well as truth; 4) capacities for thinking theatrically as well as ethnographically; and 5) production and publication of research and creative activity in the genre to advance the field and to encourage dialogue among its practitioners. The author’s personal goal as an artist is to develop an ethnotheatre aesthetic that captures on stage a complex rendering of ethnotainment. |
