- Summary:
- "This is the first textbook designed for students, practitioners, and scholars of the performing arts who are curious about the power of the cognitive sciences to throw light on the processes of performance, It equips readers with a clear understanding of how research in cognitive neuroscience has illuminated and expanded traditional approaches to thinking about topics such as the performer, the spectator, space and time, cultur, and the text. Each chapter considers three layers of performance: conventional forms of theatre, performance art, and everyday life, offering an expansive vision of the impact of the cognitive sciences on performance in the widest sense"--Publisher description.
