The senses in performance.
Author: Banes, Sally & Andre Lepecki Published: 2007 The senses in performance is the first anthology dedicated to assessing critically the role of the human sensorium in performance. The seventeen original essays gathered in this volume offer a multi-faceted approach to the methodological, theoretical, practical, and historical challenges facing the scholar and the artist interested in studying the subtle actions of the human senses in all sorts of performances: from ritual to theatre, from dance to interactive architecture, from performance art to historical drama and opera. The contributors include Richard Schechner, Deirdre, Sklar, Phillip Zarrilli, Denise Cole, Mary Fleischer, Dorita Hannah, Martin Welton, and the book's editors, Sally Banes and André Lepecki. |
