Description
Performer Training Developments Across Cultures explores how actors are trained in different cultures. This book examines various training methods from around the world, including traditional Asian approaches and innovative experiments in performer training.
Studies featured in this volume include those on mainstream training in several countries, as well as investigations into the work of prominent theatre practitioners such as Eugenio Barba and Jerzy Grotowski. The book also looks at recent efforts to re-examine the role and scope of training, including Britain's International Workshop Festival and the European League of Institutes of Arts masterclasses.
One key area of focus is the reformulation of the use of emotions in performer training, known as Alba Emoting. By examining these diverse approaches, this book provides a unique insight into the complexities of actor training across cultures.
