Beskrivning
Offering a radical re-evaluation of current approaches to performer training, this is a text that equips readers with a set of new ways of thinking about and ultimately 'doing' training. Stemming from his extensive practice and incorporating a review of prevailing methods and theories, Frank Camilleri focuses on how material circumstances shape and affect processes of training, devising, rehearsing and performing. Frank Camilleri puts forward the 'post-psychophysical' as a more extended form of psychophysical discussion and practice that emerged and dominated in the 20th century. The 'post-psychophysical' updates the concept of an integrated bodymind in various ways, such as the notion of a performer’s bodyworld that incorporates technology and the material world. Offering invaluable introductions to a wide range of theories around which the book is structured – including postphenomenological, sociomaterial, affect and situated cognition – this volume provides readers with an enticing array of critical approaches to training and creative processes.

Recensioner i media

Camilleri boldly argues that we should move on from the psychophysical paradigm which has dominated acting theories for the last decade or more. With the term post-psychophysical, his innovative approach encompasses the much broader social and technological context in which today’s performer operates, opening up new horizons for acting practices and theories. Performer Training Reconfigured is not only an important book for researchers of performance and philosophy but also one that will be useful for practitioners who will be inspired by Camilleri’s perspectives and suggestions.
