| Summary |
With the field of interdisciplinary research on art and neuroscience fast expanding, this volume provides a detailed introduction to some of the main areas of research and practice, drawing on contributions from neuroscientists, theatre scholars and artists. As such it offers readers an exciting insight into the international panorama of ongoing interdisciplinary research between the fields of theatre and neuroscience. Divided into four parts, each prefaced by an expert editorial introduction, it explores: theatre as a space of relationships - a neurocognitive perspective; the spectator's performative experience and 'embodied theatrology'; the complexity of theatre and human cognition; and interdisciplinary perspectives on applied performance |
