Description
Theatre and the Body by Colette Conroy This book explores the complex relationship between theatre and the human body, examining the tensions between physicality, language, representation, and movement on stage. Drawing on examples from contemporary performance, Conroy reveals the ways in which theatre shapes our understanding of the body and its many meanings. Through a concise and clear analysis, Conroy uncovers the revealing contradictions between the body, bodies, and the ways in which they are represented in theatre. A thought-provoking starting point for understanding the intersection of theatre and the body, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject. Foreword by Marina Abramovic.
