Description
Physical Theatres: A Critical Introduction provides an in-depth exploration of non-text-based theatre, encompassing experimental dance and traditional mime. This comprehensive guide synthesises history, theory, and practice to support students and performers in understanding the dynamic and innovative aspects of physical theatres. The book examines key figures and companies, including those associated with Dance Theatre of DV8, Pina Bausch, Liz Aggiss, and Jérôme Bel, as well as contemporary practices and actor training methods. Extensive cross-references enable the text to be used in conjunction with its companion volume, Physical Theatres: A Critical Reader. This new edition includes a chapter on The Body and Technology, exploring the impact of digital technologies on physical performance, as well as additional profiles and focus on circus and aerial performance, immersive theatres, and recent developments in neuroscience.
