Theory for Theatre Studies: Movement

An in-depth critical analysis of movement for theatre, with a breadth of excellent worldwide case studies

Attempting to capture the visceral nature of movement in the form of a written text is a tricky one, but Rachel Fensham writes lucidly and energetically to do just that. Concentrating on movement in relation to theatre and acting, as opposed to dance, this is not designed as a ‘how to’ text, so don't expect any exercises or explicit teaching resources. What it does offer is a critical overview of movement in terms of theoretical and historical contexts, key practitioners, and epochs, as well as examining movement training methodologies and how this all relates to postdramatic and contemporary theatre. It's best suited to post-16 students upwards, and their lecturers.
