Toward a General Theory of Acting : Cognitive Science and Performance Paperback / softback
by J. Lutterbie
Part of the Cognitive Studies in Literature and Performance series
Paperback / softback
Description
Toward a General Theory of Acting explores the actor's art through the lens of Dynamic Systems Theory and recent findings in the Cognitive Sciences.
An analysis of different theories of acting in the West from Stanislavski to Lecoq is followed by an in depth discussion of technique, improvisation, and creating a score.
In the final chapter, the focus shifts to how these three are interwoven when the actor steps in front of an audience, whether performing realist, non-realist, or postdramatic theatre.
Far from using the sciences to reduce acting to a formula, Lutterbie celebrates the mystery of the creative process.
