Emerging from European contexts of activism and scholarship ‘precarity’ has become a shorthand term for the permanently insecure conditions of life under neoliberal capitalism and its associated stripping back of social welfare protections.

Comprising full-length chapters and shorter pieces the collection offers new perspectives on social theatre projects as creative occasions of occupation that generate a sense of security in a precarious world.
