Description
Physical Dramaturgy: Perspectives from the Field by Rachel Bowditch, Jeff Casazza, and Annette Thornton explores the role of physical dramaturg in theatre production. This unique approach combines elements of text, history, dramatic structure, and author intent with movement analysis and physical theatre pedagogies to create a connected and intuitive experience for actors. The book examines new ways of approaching various physical worlds, from period playwrights to devised productions, and provides examples of how to translate, combine, and adapt existing methods into new explorations. It offers practical insights for dramaturgs, actors, and directors seeking to enhance their work during the design and rehearsal phases of traditional and devised productions. By exploring the intersection of physical theatre and dramaturgy, this anthology aims to provide a fresh perspective on existing methods and inspire new approaches to training, rehearsal, or research.
