Performer Training and Technology delves into the intricate relationship between technology and performer training, employing philosophical frameworks such as postphenomenology and Heidegger's thinking to explore its manifestations, influences, and practical applications. This comprehensive book offers a unique perspective on performer training practices, examining them through the lens of digital artefacts and developing analytical tools for scholarly and practical explorations.

The book explores a wide range of captivating topics, including the significance of electric lights in Stanislavsky's work on concentration, the use of handheld tools like sticks in Zarrilli's psychophysical training and Meyerhold's Biomechanics, the emergence of new training methods in conjunction with motion capture technology, and the complexities that the mobile phone introduces into notions and practices of attention in learning and training contexts.

With its in-depth discussions and insightful analysis, Performer Training and Technology serves as a valuable resource for performer training scholars, practitioners, theatre, performance, and dance scholars, as well as those with an interest in philosophies of technology. By unraveling the complexities of this dynamic relationship, the book provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of performer training and its impact on the broader field of artistic practice.
