This comprehensive book delves into the unconventional rehearsal methodology of renowned theatre director Anthony Neilsons. Neilsons collaborative rehearsal process, which fosters a high level of creative input among the actors he works with, has garnered significant attention from scholars and practitioners alike.
The study encompasses an analysis of material extracted from 100 hours of footage captured during the rehearsals of Neilsons 2013 play Narrative at the Royal Court Theatre. In addition, interviews with Neilsons himself, the cast members of Narrative, and actors from other Neilson productions provide valuable insights into his approach.
Gary Cassidy, the author, includes case studies to illustrate the application of Neilsons methodology in various theatre productions. He also examines the work of other relevant practitioners, such as Katie Mitchell, Forced Entertainment, Joan Littlewood, Peter Brook, Complicites Simon McBurney, Stanislavski, and Sarah Kane, where appropriate.
Contemporary Rehearsal Practice offers valuable insights to scholars, students, and practitioners of theatre and performance, as well as those with an interest in rehearsal studies. It sheds light on Neilsons unique approach, explores its impact on the actors and the creative process, and provides a rich resource for further exploration and discussion in the field.
