An Introduction to Theatre, Performance and the Cognitive Sciences
Methuen Drama (Verlag)
978-1-4742-5681-0 (ISBN)
Written in an approachable style, An Introduction to Theatre, Performance and the Cognitive Sciences weaves together case studies of a wide range of performances with scientific evidence and post-structural theory. Artists such as Robert Wilson, Societas Raffaello Sanzio, Ariane Mnouchkine, Bertolt Brecht, and Antonin Artaud are brought into conversation with theories of Gilles Deleuze, Shaun Gallagher, Alva Noë, Tim Ingold and the science of V. S. Ramachandran, Vittorio Gallese, and Antonio Damasio. John Lutterbie offers a complex understanding of not only the act of performing but the forces that mark the place of theatre in contemporary society.
In drawing on a variety of scientific articles, Lutterbie provides readers with an accessible account of significant research in areas in the field and reveals how the sciences can help us understand the experience of art.
Dr John Lutterbie is a professor at Stony Brook University, New York, USA, where he teaches performance theory in the Department of Theatre Arts. He is co-founder of the Center for Embodied Cognition, a consortium of scholars in the arts, humanities and neurosciences that does experimental as well as humanist research. He is co-editor (with Nicola Shaughnessy) of Bloomsbury Methuen Drama's Performance and Science series, and author of Toward and General Theory of Acting: Cognitive Science and Performance (2011).
