The intercultural performance handbook.
Author: Martin, John Published: 2003 What can performers in the West learn from the technical performance traditions of Africa and Asia? The intercultural performance handbook opens up a new world of technique for performers. The first ever full-length, fully illustrated manual for practitioners, it provides a guide to physical, vocal, and improvisational dynamics drawn from world performance styles; a new vocabulary with which to interpret drama from around the globe; games to use for exploring rhythm, movement, balance, tension and gesture; and a practical approach to creating vibrant theatrical work. |
