Description
Applied Theatre: Aesthetics explores how the concept of 'the aesthetic' relates to performance in social settings. In traditional aesthetics, disinterest is seen as a key characteristic of art; however, this doesn't apply when working with ordinary people and their communities. The problem lies in reconciling the autonomy and heteronomy of art. Gareth White's introductory essay reviews the field and proposes an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates new developments in evolutionary, cognitive, and neuro-aesthetics alongside the politics of art. This book brings together essays from leading experts and newcomers to the practice and theory of applied performance, examining the complexities of art and everyday behaviours.
