Book SynopsisThe Actor Training Reader is an invaluable resource for students and teachers of acting, offering access to a wide range of key texts that identify, explore, illuminate and interrogate the challenges, practices and processes involved in training the modern actor. A companion volume to the highly-acclaimed Actor Training (Hodge 2010), this book collects key writings by influential actor training practitioners of the twentieth century, introduced with essays from leading academics in the field of actor training. Key practitioners included are: Eugenio Barba;Anne Bogart;Bertolt Brecht;Peter Brook;Michael Chekhov; andKonstantin Stanislavsky. The book sets established, widely used texts alongside less well-known ones in order to trace the development of actor training from the pioneering advances of Eastern Europe to the acting games of Augusto Boal. The texts are grouped into thematic sections rather tTrade Review'There’s plenty here for any serious student needing to get to grips with the theory and would make an excellent accessible starting point for anyone hungry for information but as yet not quite ready for any single practitioner’s complete oeuvre.' - Susan Elkin, The StageTable of ContentsIntroduction Mark Evans, Coventry University, UK.PrologueJacques Copeau: Rudlin, J. & Paul, N.

Taylor & Francis Musical Gestures
Book SynopsisWe experience and understand the world, including music, through body movementâwhen we hear something, we are able to make sense of it by relating it to our body movements, or form an image in our minds of body movements. Musical Gestures is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between sound and movement. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to the fundamental issues of this subject, drawing on ideas, theories and methods from disciplines such as musicology, music perception, human movement science, cognitive psychology, and computer science. Trade Review "The book proposal is quite well prepared, reflecting the experience of the editors both in terms of publishing themselves and in attracting high-quality submissions from other authors for edited volumes and peer-reviewed journals. They have a good grasp of the evolution and importance of the field of sound and music computing, and put forward here a volume that can have a significant impact on that growth.... I would use this book as supplemental material in my course on the psychology of music—I would recommend offering a contract for this book." "The three strongest aspects of the book would be its beginning at the beginning; the breadth of material covered; and the clarity of the writing style (in Godøy’s article in particular). These three strengths lead me to believe that the book would be ideal for a graduate course in music and gesture…. I would recommend offering a contract for the book. It provides an accessible summary of a variety of approaches to music and gesture, which is a rapidly emerging and expanding field." "The proposed book Music and Gesture Foundations tackles a relatively new topic that is quickly becoming fundamental to multiple fields. Since the topic is so interdisciplinary, a book establishing methodological, terminological, and conceptual foundations is particularly crucial. Such a book has the potential to advance collaboration and understanding across fields, and to accelerate research in the area. The proposed book’s core strength is its stated aim to provide a systematic development of the concept of gesture in music.... The thoroughness and intellectual rigor of the manuscript is excellent. Subtle points are systematically addressed, and there is a nice balance between reviewing existing findings and developing frameworks for future inquiry. As it stands, however, the manuscript suffers from one serious problem: the quality of the English. I recommend that someone be added to the editorial team who can rework the entire manuscript, modifying sentence structure, grammar, and vocabulary so that it reads well in English..... In sum, I believe this to be a high quality manuscript targeting an important topic that people from many different fields will find interesting. I recommend publication. The book fills a niche not currently occupied, and presents an admirably thorough overview of current research in this area. " "In summary, then, I think that the novelty and strength of the book’s topic, its appeal to interdisciplinary issues, and its insights into the works of different scholars are its main strengths. Its main weaknesses lie in its rather uncertain role as an "introductory" text, its unidiomatic English, and its somewhat untraditional perspective from an American musicological perspective (though this is, also, a strength!). Based on the appeal of the project as a volume of scholarship that breaks new ground, I would recommend offering a contract for this book. This recommendation is unreserved: I believe the volume has considerable academic importance as it stands. " Table of ContentsForeword Preface 1. Why study musical gestures? 2.

Taylor & Francis Anna Halprin
Book SynopsisAnna Halprin traces the life's work of this radical dance-maker, documenting her early career as a modern dancer in the 1940s through to the development of her groundbreaking approach to dance as an accessible and life-enhancing art form. Now revised and reissued, this book: sketches the evolution of the San Francisco Dancers' Workshop, exploring Halprin's connections with the avant-garde theatre, music, visual art and architecture of the 1950s and 60s offers a detailed analysis of Halprinâs work from this period provides an important historical guide to a time when dance was first explored beyond the confines of the theatre and considered as a healing art for individuals and communities. As a first step towards critical understanding, and an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners offer unbeatable value for todayâs student.Table of ContentsList of figuresAcknowledgements1 LIFE AND WORK2 THEORY AND PRACTICE3 THE MOUNTAIN PERFORMANCES, CIRCLE THE EARTH AND THE PLANETARY DANCE4 PRACTICAL EXPLORATIONSBibliographyContactsIndex
