Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Since the late 1970s Matt Mullican has developed a practice of performing under hypnosis that extends from his investigations into representation and subjective projection, and from his efforts to 'enter the image' and embody a fictional character, a body of work that offers an exceptional perspective on repetition and renewal in performance practice.This book is the outcome of an extensive research project into Mullican''s hypnosis performances, undertaken within the frame of If I Can''t Dance''s Performance in Residence programme with invited researcher Vanessa Desclaux, and a two-day Class of Masters with Mullican on character construction. Desclaux takes up the question of personification in light of her analysis of Mullican''s hypnosis performances. A selection of Mullican''s photographs and works on paper are reproduced in this book.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This publication concentrates on Five Sisters, a performance Guy de Cointet developed together with Light and Space artist Eric Orr in 1982. In Five Sisters, the affective well-being of five women is explored as they have changing, restless encounters in their parental home, discussing issues around wardrobe, suntans, health, exotic holidays, work, and painting. The play holds an exceptional place in De Cointet''s oeuvre, as it presents a shift in his attention to the emotional quality of objects towards light and colour. This book is the outcome of an extensive research project around the restaging of this performance with If I Can''t Dance, reflecting the research questions that emerged around the meaning, sources, and context of the original performance and its restaging. Contributors: Marie de Brugerolle, Guy de Cointet, Elizabeth Orr, Snejanka Mihaylova; with an annotated interview by Vivian Ziherl with performers Violeta Sanchez, Einat Tuchman, Adva Zakai, Veridiana Zurita.
