"This book examines performance practices that involve people in recovery from addiction and offers an understanding of how artistic activity can create social environments - or atmospheres - that support recovery. Focusing on examples of practice from a growing movement of UK-based recovery arts practitioners and performers, it highlights a unique approach to performance that infuses an understanding of lived experiences of addiction and recovery with creative practice. It offers a philosophy of being in recovery that appreciates lived experience, and performance practice, as a dynamic system of interrelations with the human and nonhuman elements that make up the societal settings in which recovery communities struggle to exist. It thereby frames the process of recovery, and recovery-engaged performance, as an affective ecology - a system of messy connections - that enable recovery-friendly environments. Ideas from post-humanist research on addiction, cultural theory on identity and new materialist interpretations of performance practice are applied to highlight the distinct aesthetics, ethics, and politics of this area of performance practice.
