Product Description

Review

"Barba's writing and ideas... aleternate between arrogance and forced modesty, platitudes and obvious truisms, clarity of vision and obtuseness bordering on an almost unfathomable ambiguity.."
-"Choice Barba's The Paper Canoe...is a passionate professional auto- biography...What emerges beyond the tenets of theatre anthropology is an aesthetic grounded in a lifetime of research.

By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is possibly the most comprehensive study towards the craft of performance ever published. The result of over a decade of research, this handbook is so detailed and concentrated that a "skim read" attitude is definitely not advised. It should be used more as a continuous point of reference and research for the student, performer and practitioner alike. It is put together in an easy to navigate A-Z layout, exploring topics such as, anatomy, energy, dilation and spans all cultural areas of performance from the occident through to the orient. The outcome is a performance bible that encapsulates and extracts the core elements of performance, equipping the reader with the key to unlock, challenge and further their work within performance. As a student and performer myself "The Dictionary of Theatre Anthropology" has been truly indispensable and comes very highly recommended!
