Description

Shakespeare and Gesture in Practice explores how actors use their bodies to convey character emotions and shape audience reactions. Drawing on social, cognitive, and moral psychology, Darren Tunstall examines the role of gesture in Shakespearean performance. The book delves into the world of acting and gesture studies, featuring detailed analysis of recent performances and interviews with key figures from both fields. This interdisciplinary approach reveals how performers have used the language of gesture to reflect their characters' minds and influence audience responses. Rich in examples and insights, this provocative contribution will appeal to anyone interested in Shakespeare, theatre history, psychology, or body language.
