More than just a dictionary, this is a handbook for theatre practitioners and a guide for students and scholars of transcultural performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the result of many years of research conducted by Eugenio Barba and the International School of Theatre Anthropology (ISTA) based in Denmark, and is now a classic foundational text. Whereas most Western research is concerned with naturalism and psychological realism in acting, \u003ci\u003eA Dictionary of Theatre Anthropology\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the actor’s arduous and eclectic craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis work aims to expand our knowledge of the possibilities of the scenic body, and of the spectator’s response to the dynamics of performance. It includes practical sections on balance, opposition, and montage among other techniques, and discusses issues including \u003cem\u003eThe Text and the Stage\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Dilated Body\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eEnergetic Language\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis revised edition includes: three new chapters on Eurasian Theatre, Exercises and Organicity; 50 new photographs showing the performer’s craft in black and white and colour; and, for the first time, a useful bibliography and index.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47604898463980,"sku":"9780415378611","price":137.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780415378611-a-dictionary-of-theatre-anthropology.jpg?v=1778115142","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/a-dictionary-of-theatre-anthropology-by-eugenio-barba-9780415378611","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
