Excellent- More about Introduction to Theatre, Performance and the Cognitive Sciences
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 208 pages
Publication date: 05 September 2019
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
This groundbreaking textbook is the first of its kind, designed to cater to students, practitioners, and scholars of the performing arts who are eager to explore the profound influence of the cognitive sciences on the processes of performance. It equips readers with a comprehensive grasp of how research in cognitive neuroscience has illuminated and expanded traditional approaches to understanding key topics such as the performer, the spectator, space and time, culture, and the text.
To achieve this, the book is structured into four distinct chapters, each delving into four layers of performance: conventional forms of theatre, performance art, and everyday life. By examining these layers, the book offers a broad and expansive perspective on the impact of the cognitive sciences on performance in the broadest sense.
Written in a clear and accessible style, An Introduction to Theatre, Performance, and the Cognitive Sciences seamlessly weaves together case studies of a diverse range of performances with scientific evidence and post-structural theory. Artists like Robert Wilson, Societas Raffaello Sanzio, Ariane Mnouchkine, Bertolt Brecht, and Antonin Artaud are brought into conversation with theories of Gilles Deleuze, Shaun Gallagher, Alva Noë, Tim Ingold, and the science of V. S. Ramachandran, Vittorio Gallese, and Antonio Damasio.
Furthermore, John Lutterbie provides a comprehensive and intricate exploration of not only the act of performing but also the forces that shape the place of theatre in contemporary society. In doing so, he draws on a diverse range of scientific articles to offer readers an accessible account of significant research in the field. By revealing how the sciences can help us understand the experience of art, this textbook serves as a valuable resource for students, practitioners, and scholars alike.
