Acting, Archetype, and Neuroscience
Acting Exercises for Non-Traditional Staging
Superscenes for Rehearsal and Performance
Michael Chekhov Reimagined
Jane Drake Brody
Anjalee Deshpande Hutchinson
Superscenesare a revolutionary new mode of teaching and rehearsal, discovering and utilizing underlying primal energies. They draw upon the author’s lifetime experience, insights of pedagogical practice, the work of philosophers and writers, and the latest insights of neuroscience to: mine the essentials of accepted acting theory, while finding ways to access primally-based human behavior in actors; restore focus on storytelling lost in the rush to create physically and vocally complex characters; uncover the mythical bones buried within all dramatic writing; and focus on the actor’s body as the only place where the conflict inherent in drama can be animated.
Acting Exercises for Non-Traditional Staging: Michael Chekhov Reimagined offers a new set of exercises for coaching actors when working on productions that are non-traditionally staged in arenas, thrusts, allies, or site-specific productions. All of the exercises are adapted from Michael Chekhov's acting technique, but are reimagined in new and creative ways that offer fun, innovative twists for the practitioner familiar with Chekhov, and easy accessibility for the practitioner new to Chekhov.

A psychoanalytic perspective on unconscious processes of identification in the theatre Maria Turri Series: Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies Acting, Spectating, and the Unconscious approaches the unconscious aspects of spectatorship and acting afresh. Interweaving psychoanalytic descriptions of processes such as transference, unconscious phantasy, and alpha-function with an in-depth survey of theories of spectating and acting from Aristotle and Brecht to Diderot’s Paradox of Acting and the emotionalist theories of the eighteenth century, Maria Grazia Turri offers a significant insight into the emotions inherent in both the art of the actor, and the spectator’s experience.

Acting Shakespeare is Outrageous!
Acting: The Basics
Playing the Bard for Beginners
Bella Merlin, University of California, Davis, USA Series: The Basics
Herb Parker, Associate Professor, the Division of Theatre and Dance, Department of Communication and Performance, East Tennessee State University Performing the work of William Shakespeare can be daunting to new actors. Author Herb Parker posits that his work is played easier if actors think of the plays as happening out of outrageous situations, and remember just how non-realistic and presentational Shakespeare’s plays were meant to be performed. The plays are driven by language and the spoken word, and the themes and plots are absolutely out of the ordinary and fantastic - the very definition of outrageous. With exercises, improvisations, and coaching points Acting Shakespeare is Outrageous! helps actors use the words Shakespeare wrote as a tool to perform him, and to create exciting and moving performances.

Now in a second editon, Acting: The Basics remains a practical and theoretical guide to the world of the professional actor, which skilfully combines ideas from a range of practitioners and linking the academy to the industry.

With a glossary of terms and useful website suggestions, this is the ideal introduction for anyone wanting to learn more about the practice and history of acting.

2nd Edition • NEW EDITION
Black Acting Methods
Secrets of Acting Shakespeare
Critical Approaches
The Original Approach Edited by Sharrell Luckett and Tia M. Shaffer
Patrick Tucker
Black Acting Methods seeks to offer alternatives to the Euro-American performance styles that many actors of color find themselves working with. A wealth of contributions from Black-identifying directors, scholars and actor trainers address afrocentric processes and aesthetics, and interviews with key figures in Black American theatre illuminate their methods. This ground-breaking collection is an essential resource for teachers, students, actors and directors seeking to reclaim, reaffirm or even redefine their Blackness through theatre arts.
Secrets of Acting Shakespeare isn’t a book which gently instructs. It is a passionate, yes-you-can guide designed to prove that anybody can act Shakespeare. Patrick Tucker discusses the ‘cue scripts’ used by Elizabethan actors, who knew only their own lines, to demonstrate the extraordinary way these plays work by ear. This second edition encourages trained and amateur actors alike to look to the original practices of the Elizabethan theatre for inspiration.

Craft Notes for Animators
Unearthing Shakespeare
A Perspective on a 21st Century Career
Embodied Performance and the Globe
Ed Hooks
Valerie Clayman Pye
If Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs represented the Animation industry’s infancy, Ed Hooks thinks that the current production line of big-budget features is its artistically awkward adolescence. While a well-funded marketing machine can conceal structural flaws, uneven performances and superfluous characters, the importance of crafted storytelling will only grow in importance as animation becomes broader and more accessible. Craft Notes for Animators analyses specific films – including Frozen and Despicable Me – to explain the secrets of creating truthful stories and believable characters. It is an essential primer for the for tomorrow’s industry leaders and animation artists.
Unearthing Shakespeare is the first book to examine what the Globe, today's replica of Shakespeare's theatre, can tell us about performing his plays. Valerie Clayman Pye relays this fresh understanding into a set of exercises for actors at all levels, presenting a fun, accessible and engaging approach which will benefit rehearsal work, classroom training and solo practice.

Voice: Onstage and Off Robert Barton, University of Oregon, USA and Rocco dal Vera, University of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
What Shall I Do with the Body They Gave Me? Andrei Droznin and Natalia Fedorova If, as an actor, your body is your 'instrument', what happens when the body-mind, ‘psychophysical’ connection is lost?

Corsets and Crinolines Edited by Judith Dolan In this classic book, Nora Waugh explores the changing shapes of women’s dress from the 1500s to the 1920s. Simple laced bodices became corsets of cane, whale-bone and steel, while padding at shoulders and hips gave way to the structures of farthingales, hoops and bustles. Corsets and Crinolines explains the cyclical nature of these fashions, and how waists and skirts changed shape and size from the 1500s to the 1920s. Extracts from diaries, journals, poems and newspapers, as well as over 100 illustrations demonstrate the variety of these ubiquitous items of clothing throughout modern history.

A cross-cultural perspective
Jasmin Vardimon and Libby Worth, Royal Holloway, London University, UK
Charlotte Nichol and Lise Uytterhoeven

Imagined Theatres
The 21st Century Performance Reader
Writing for a theoretical stage
Edited by Teresa Brayshaw and Noel Witts, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK
Edited by Daniel Sack
The Twenty-First Century Performance Reader gives a voice to key performance artists and practitioners who have come to prominence since the turn of the century, and whose work has re-defined what we mean by ‘performance’. Artists' own words, in the form of essays, plans, programme notes, commissioned writings and interviews, display a wealth of diverse and interdisciplinary approaches to performance practice. Contributors include key figures such as Chunky Move, Astad Deboo, Dumb Type, Xing Xin, Jesusa Rodriguez, Opiyo Okach, Jan Fabre, Eimuntas Nekrošius, Calixto Bieito, Gob Squad, Societas Raffaello Sanzio, Blast Theory, Franko B., Lone Twin, Reverend Billy, Coco Fusco, and Jerome Bel.
Imagined Theatres collects theoretical dramas written by some of the leading scholars and artists of the contemporary stage. These dialogues, prose poems, and microfictions describe imaginary performance events that explore what might be possible and impossible in the theatre. Each scenario is mirrored by a brief accompanying reflection, asking what they might mean for our thinking about the theatre.

Stanislavski in Practice
The Routledge Companion to Adaptation
Exercises for Students
Edited by Dennis Cutchins, Katja Krebs and Eckart Voigts
Nick O'Brien, The Stanislavski Experience, UK
The Routledge Companion to Adaptation offers a wide-ranging perspective on current scholarship in the area of adaptation. While providing a basis in source oriented studies such as novel-to-stage and stage-to-film adaptations, it also brings to the fore the new and innovative elements currently being witnessed in this field. An emphasis on adaptation as a form of practice seeks to establish methods of investigating the topic that go beyond a purely comparative, case study model. Divided into five sections – Geography, Historiography, Identity, Technology and Reception – this is an essential resource that maps the field of adaptation across genres and disciplines.
Stanislavski in Practice is an unparalleled step-by-step guide to Stanislavski’s System. Author Nick O’Brien makes this cornerstone of acting accessible to teachers and students alike through the use of practical exercises that allows students to develop their skills. This Second Edition offers more exercises for the actor, and also new sections on directing and devising productions. Each element of the System is covered practically through studio exercises and jargon-free discussion.

The Routledge Research Companion to Early Drama and Performance Edited by Pamela King The study of early drama has undergone a quiet revolution in the last four decades, radically altering critical approaches to form, genre, and canon. Drawing on disciplines from art history to musicology and reception studies, The Routledge Companion to Early Drama and Performance reconsiders early ‘drama’ as a mixed mode entertainment best considered not only alongside non-dramatic texts, but also other modes of performance.

Black British Theatre
Memos from a Theatre Lab
A Transnational Perspective
Exploring what immersive theatre 'does'
Michael Pearce
Nandita Dinesh
Black British Theatre breaks new ground in international black theatre scholarship. Michael Pearce combines historical documentation and discussion with close textual and performance analysis of the period 1950-2014 to consider the ways in which black theatre in Britain is connected to, and informed by, the spaces of Africa, the Caribbean and the USA. This transnational lens provides an entirely new method of analysing black British theatre, and examines the UK productions of work by writers such as Hansberry, Wilson, Baldwin, as well as plays by Kwei-Armah, Williams, Adebayo and Agbaje.
By contrasting two specific performances on the same theme - one an 'immersive' experience and the other a more conventional theatrical production - Nandita Dinesh explores the different ways in which theatrical form impacts upon actors and audiences. An in-depth case study of her work Pinjare (Cages) sets out the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of her specific aesthetic framework. Memos from a Theatre Lab places Dinesh’s practical work within the context of existing analyses of immersive theatre, using this investigation to generate an underpinning theory of how immersive theatre works for its participants.

Elevator Repair Service
Performance, Ethnography and Communication
Making the Rules
D Soyini Madison
Sara Jane Bailes and John Collins
Performance, ethnography, and communication have become inextricably linked in both classroom study and contemporary performance practice. These terms, whether seen as disciplines of study, rubrics, or simply topics of discussion, inform one another to an equal degree. This book explores the ways in which they interrelate, with each other and also with the more specific issues involved with digital performance, improvisation, the body, fieldwork, and collaboration. Specific historical and theoretical contexts, key figures and case studies, exercises, activities, and practical applications for improvisation, ethnography and digital performance, make this a natural textbook for students of Performance Studies, Communication Studies or Cultural Studies.
This is the first full-length study of one of the most significant experimental theatre st companies to emerge from New York in the 21 century. Elevator Repair Service's work combines elements of slapstick, hi-and lo-tech design, literary and found texts with the group’s own unique style of choreography. Looking at the company’s methods as much as their productions, this book documents their engagement with popular culture and non-theatrical forms, providing fascinating insight into their processes. Collins and Bailes, artistic director and critic respectively, situate the group’s practice within a US tradition of avant garde theatre making which widens the scope of theatrical form itself.

Essential Dramaturgy
Stage-Play and Screen-Play
The Mindset and Skillset
The intermediality of theatre and cinema
Theresa Lang
Michael Ingham
Essential Dramaturgy provides a concrete way to approach the work of a dramaturg. It explores ways to refine the process of defining, evaluating, and communicating that are essential to effective dramaturgical work. It then looks at how this outlook enhances the practical skills of production and new play dramaturgy. The book explains what a dramaturg does, what the role can be, and how best to refine and teach the skillset and mindset.
While film and theatre studies have established their own critical terms and theoretical frames of reference, the potential for dialogue and reciprocity between these two art forms is often undermined by the absence of a shared vocabulary. This book sets out to remedy this by systematically mapping out a transmedial space in which both film and theatre can be discussed. Keywords and critical terms form the central structure of this study, helping to root the areas of commonality between film and theatre in relevant, applied contexts.

The Monster in Theatre History
Theatre in Europe under German Occupation
This thing of darkness
Anselm Heinrich
Michael Chemers, UC Santa Cruz, USA
Theatre in Europe under German Occupation explores the ultimately unsuccessful part that theatre played in Nazi propaganda. Using a case-study approach, it illustrates the crucial and heavily subsidised role the theatre played in Nazi Germany’s total war effort, as a cultural extension of its military machine. Covering theatres in Oslo, Riga, Lille, Lodz, Krakow, Warsaw, Prague, Belgrade, The Hague, and Kiev, Anselm Heinrich looks at their history, the context of their operation, the wider political, cultural and propagandistic implications in view of their function in wartime, and their legacies.
Performance is a unique form of storytelling. When humans perform stories, they do not merely tell them but embody them; through performance, boundaries between now and then, fantasy and reality, here and there, make way for new, ritual times and spaces emerge. Michael Chemers is an inspired guide through this fascinating hinterland. The Monster in Theatre History brilliantly explores the cultural genealogies of monsters such as ghosts, devils, werewolves and vampires in the recorded history of Western theatre. The book provides a startling new look at theatre history from the Ancient Greeks to the most cutting-edge new media performances, focusing on why monsters play such a prominent role in performance culture.

The Routledge Companion to Digital Humanities in Theatre and Performance
Theatrical Performance and the Forensic Turn
Edited by Nic Leonhardt
James Frieze, Liverpool John Moores University, UK Series: Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies
Digital Humanities has emerged in recent years as a new paradigm within theatre and performance studies. This is the first volume to compile scholarly and best practice knowledge from around the globe, and to address both the history and future of this new field. Contributors examine a range of projects documenting, reconstructing and visualizing theatre and performance practices both past and present; discuss a new methodology for theatre scholarship, and for archiving and preserving works; and consider the impact of the Digital Humanities on higher education in theatre and performance studies.

Naked Truth
This book visits contemporary theatre’s fixation with the processing and detection of evidence. Frieze frames this interrogation of expertise and evidence-gathering by closely articulating performance examples with television’s abundance of crime-scene investigation and reality shows, and with political and social debates about journalistic procedures and the management of identity data.

The Stage Lives of Animals Zooesis and Performance Una Chaudhuri In this stunning collection of essays, Una Chaudhuri contributes a significant perspective to Critical Animal Studies – that of the way culture makes art and meaning with the figure and body of the animal. If language is the key thing which separates the human from the animal, the quest to understand our own animality might well lead us to the embodied arts of performance. Chaudhuri reconceives the representation and performance of animals through the frameworks of postmodernism and ecology, bringing insights from theatre practice and theory to animal studies as well as exploring what animal studies can bring to theatre and performance studies.

While most critical writing on Jonson concentrates on the plays, poems or masques seen in isolation, this title, first published in 1981, ranges across the genres to explore Jonson’s vision as a whole. Combining a wide-ranging discussion of Jonson’s interests with a detailed examination of his major works, this book provides a balanced critical introduction to one of the most complex and fascinating figures in English Literature.
The extraordinary character of Ben Jonson has only recently been brought into the light. Critics traditionally exalted Shakespeare, at Jonson’s expense. In this biography, first published in 1986, the author presents a full and accurate account of Jonson’s life in modern times. Rosalind Miles follows Jonson from his obscure beginnings to his burial in Westminster Abbey, as the first Poet Laureate, in 1637. Her Jonson is vivid and vigorous, equally alive in his life and in his work. This title will be of interest to students of history, English literature and Renaissance drama.

James T. Henke Series: Routledge Library Editions: Renaissance Drama This title, first published in 1979, is a glossary of the bawdy vocabulary that was used in Renaissance Drama.

The author also explores the ways in which playwrights justify structural discontinuity by the working of magic.

Essays on Shakespeare and Elizabethan Drama
Jacobean Tragedy
In Honour of Hardin Craig
The Quest for Moral Order
Edited by Richard Hosley Series: Routledge Library Editions: Renaissance Drama
Irving Ribner Series: Routledge Library Editions: Renaissance Drama
The twenty-eight essays of this collection, first published in 1962, are the work of distinguished British, Canadian, and American scholars. The essays range widely over the field of Elizabethan drama, concentrating attention on Shakespeare and Marlowe but not neglecting earlier dramatists such as Kyd and Greene or later ones such as Heywood and Massinger. Among the general topics treated are the staging of the interludes, intrigue in Elizabethan tragedy, and Jacobean stage pastoralism. This title will be of interest to students of English literature.
The work of dramatists such as George Chapman, Thomas Heywood, Cyril Tourneur, John Webster, Thomas Middleton and John Ford can profitably be studied as attempts to construct a new moral order in response to the absence or weakening of the religious sanction. In this study, first published in 1962, the author examines these texts in detail, and throws a great deal of light on the plays as plays. This title will be of interest to students of English Literature, Drama and Performance.

Jacobean Private Theatre

Keith Sturgess Series: Routledge Library Editions: Renaissance Drama
An Edition of Three University Plays
In this scholarly and entertaining book, first published in 1987, the author tells the story of Jacobean private theatre. Most of the best plays written after 1610, including Shakespeare’s late plays such as The Tempest, were written for the new breed of private playhouses – small, roofed and designed for an aristocratic, literary audience, as opposed to the larger, open-air houses such as the Globe and the Red Bull, catering for a popular, ‘lowbrow’ audience. The author discusses the polarisation of taste and the effect it had on literary criticism and theatre history.

The Elizabethan Player

David Mann Series: Routledge Library Editions: Renaissance Drama
Various Series: Routledge Library Editions: Renaissance Drama
In this book, first published in 1991, David Mann argues for more attention to the performer in the study of Elizabethan plays and less concern for their supposed meanings and morals. He concentrates on a collection of extracts from plays which show the Elizabethan actor as a character onstage. The author suggests that the stage representation of players is in part a nostalgic farewell to the passing of an impure but perhaps more vital theatre, and in part an acknowledgement of the threat the adult theatre’s growing sophistication offered to its institutional and adolescent rivals. This title will be of interest to students of Drama and Performance.

The Tragedy of State J. W. Lever Series: Routledge Library Editions: Renaissance Drama The domination of the state over the lives of individuals is, arguably, a problem of the present-day world. In this book, first published in 1971, the author finds essentially the same problem in Jacobean tragedy in the shape it assumed during the rise of the first European nation-states. The English dramatists of the early seventeenth century are seen as giving expression to the ferment of ideas which, only a generation later, precipitated the revolutionary struggles of the sixteen-forties. This title will be of interest to students of History, Literature, Drama and Performance.

TEXTBOOK
Beyond Scenography Rachel Hann Aimed at students and researchers working within the field of theatre and performance studies, Beyond Scenography provides a timely treatise on the future of scenographic practice and theory. It provides a concise critical reading of what constitutes a ‘scenographic’ approach to performance. Drawing upon a range of case studies, the book accounts for recent social and spatial trends in scenographic practice and their impact on the future of scenography. Moreover, this book actively applies the principles of scenography to other disciplinary contexts, promoting the critical identity of a ‘scenographic’ perspective beyond the theatre.

Routledge Revivals: Some Phases in the Life of Buddha (1915)
World Theatre The Basics
Edwin Arnold
E. J. Westlake Series: The Basics
First published in 1915, this book presents a dramatization of part of Edwin Arnold’s The Light of Asia. The original text represents one of the first successful attempts to popularise Buddhism and its founder Gautama Buddha — presenting his life, teachings and philosophy in verse poetry. This adaptation dramatizes part of the The Light of Asia and includes staging instructions, properties required, illustrative drawings of suggested costumes, and incidental music composed specifically for the piece. This book will be of interest to students of Indian and Buddhist literature — and how this has interacted with the West — as well as students of drama.
World Theatre: The Basics provides a well-rounded introduction to non-Western Theatre which explores the history and current practice of theatrical traditions in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Oceana, the Caribbean, and the non-English-speaking cultures of the Americas. With numerous case studies and examples from each region, it helps the reader to understand some of the contemporary issues surrounding the scholarship and practice. Providing a roadmap for approaching non-Western theatre and introducing students to key issues in global, postcolonial and transnational performances, this is an essential read for anyone seeking to learn more about world theatre.
