Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Presents the history and an analysis of the experimental theater works produced by Bodies in Flight. Based in Bristol and Nottingham, the performance group Bodies in Flight makes works where flesh utters and words move, challenging and re-energizing the relationship between audiences and performers as well as audiences and place. Drawing on rigorous interdisciplinary and collaborative methods, they use words and images, movement and stillness, and voices and bodies to engage audiences emotionally and spiritually. Intended as an inspiration to emerging artists, the volume covers key themes for any maker of contemporary performance: the relationship of choreography and spoken word; the use of new technologies and multimedia; the role of original music and soundscapes; the differences between work presented in a theater, gallery, or sited in non-theatrical places; and the persistence of theater as an art form in an increasingly digital culture. This highly illustrated volume includes selections of scripts and archival material from thirty years of making devised theater and performance in the UK and internationally. It also features texts by collaborators, arts professionals, and scholars exploring the company's collaborative working method, contextualizing it in the wider performance ecology and culture.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Advances Felt Thinking, a mode of personal and environmental self-inquiry rooted in movement and nature. As forests burn and oceans rise, attunement to the natural world has never been more urgent. In Dances with Sheep, Anna Dako details Felt Thinking in Movement, an ecosomatic methodology intended to deepen an individual's connection with the environment and with themselves. Through site-specific improvisation, practitioners develop the ability to notice their surroundings and reactions, building a dialog with the natural world. Dako explains the processes encompassed within Felt Thinking. Practitioners use free movement to interact with the landscape and become attuned to its sights, sounds, scents, and sensations. Gradually, participants focus on their psychological experience of time and cultivate greater awareness of the relation between nature and the self. Combining insights from performance studies, art therapy, and counseling, Dances with Sheep will interest anyone looking to rediscover their place in the natural world.…
