ABSTRACT Brighton People’s Theatre and Slung Low are at the forefront of the contemporary people’s theatre movement in the United Kingdom. I examine these companies and the broader utility of a people’s theatre, historically concerned with working class representation and/or performances of civic unity, in the context of economic austerity and inequality. I assert that ideologies and practices of people’s theatres have the capacity to generate networks of solidarity and realise resilience as a mode of care and resistance. I explore how these practices directly intervene in urban governance reaffirming the potential of community-led economic, cultural, and social practices of resilience.

英国人民剧院:在紧缩时期履行公民职能

摘要 布莱顿人民剧院和 Slung Low 处于英国当代人民戏剧运动的前沿。在经济紧缩和不平等的背景下,我研究了这些公司以及人民剧院的更广泛效用,历史上关注工人阶级代表和/或公民团结的表现。我断言,人民剧院的意识形态和实践有能力产生团结网络,并实现作为一种关怀和抵抗模式的复原力。我探索这些实践如何直接干预城市治理,重申社区主导的经济、文化和社会实践的潜力。
