:''For the concept of government in which the state plays a key role in the protection and promotion of the economic and social well-being of its citizens, see Welfare state'' Welfare State International was a British experimental theatre group formed in 1968 by John Fox and Sue Gill, Roger Coleman and others. It became "A collective of radical artists and thinkers who explored ideas of celebratory art and spectacle between 1968 and 2006."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welfare State International - About WSI )〕 It ceased operating on April Fools' Day 2006 after a performance at Ulverston.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dead Good Guides )〕 WSI was initially known for staging large-scale outdoor spectacular events. At this time (late 1960s), forsaking theatres and galleries for the street was unusual. The company's name was originally 'The Welfare State', based on the concept of offering art for all on the same basis as education and health.〔 In November 2001, Welfare State International was described by the Guardian Guide as "Britain's foremost arts and installations collective."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welfare State International - John Fox )〕 Welfare State International's 'The Raising of the Titanic' (Limehouse Basin, London, 1983) has been listed among "Productions that transformed theatre".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Guardian article (2009/apr/01) experimental theatre spill festival )〕 == See Also == * Experimental theatre * Kneehigh Theatre * Shadowland Theatre * Horse and Bamboo Theatre * David Hill (arts director) * TJ Eckleberg 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Welfare State International」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
