AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Margaret Cameron - poet, performer, director, dramaturg and pedagogue - influenced generations of artists through her ideas, performances, collaborations and teaching. I Shudder to Think is an elucidation of the artist’s unique performance practice and philosophy, bringing together Cameron’s essay on art and autotopography with four of her major solo works. Opera for a small mammal (2014) is published here for the first time, while Bang! a critical fiction (2001) and Knowledge and Melancholy (2001) have been revised and updated for this edition. the proscenium (2006) also appears here with its Spanish translation. At turns wise, humorous and exquisite, I Shudder to Think takes the reader on a journey deep into the praxis of one of Australia’s most creative and original voices'

Works about this Work

Margaret Cameron, I Shudder to Think : Performance as Philosophy Jonathan Marshall , 2016 single work essay review
— Appears in: Australasian Drama Studies : Transported , October vol. 69 no. 2016; (p. 186-192) Theatre-maker Margaret Cameron's work has had a sporadic publishing history. Scripts for Knowledge and Melancholy and The Proscenium appeared in Alison Croggon's now defunct online journal Masthead 2002, 2006). Bang! A Critical Fiction was included alongside Knowledge and Melancholy in the play collection Inside 01 (Currency, 2001), while Things Calypso Wanted to Say features in Performing the Unnameable (Currency, 1999). In 2012, Cameron contextualised the scripts of Opera for a Small Mammal , The Proscenium, Bang! and Knowledge and Melancholy with a poetic exegesis in fulfillment of her doctorate at Victoria University. The Text is available online. The current book shares the title of this thesis, of which it is a slightly modified version. Cameron died in 2014, so the online thesis and the book are very similar. It is however, unfortunate that more posthumous editorial intervention was not deployed. The 'new' publication is really only for those who would rather have a book that a download.
