The Senses in Performance

by Sally Banes, André Lepecki
The Senses in Performance - Thryft
The Senses in Performance - Thryft

Examining human senses' influence on diverse performances.

If you're intrigued by how taste, touch, smell, and vision can transform performance art, "The Senses in Performance" could expand your appreciation for theater, ritual, and interactive art in fresh ways. Its essays dive into sensory experiences with an accessible voice, making it a thought-provoking read even if you're not deeply entrenched in academic discourse. It could alter how you perceive performances, drawing you closer to their multisensory cores.

Description

This ground-breaking anthology is the first to be dedicated to assessing critically the role of the human sensorium in performance. Senses in Performance presents a multifaceted approach to the methodological, theoretical, practical and historical challenges facing the scholar and the artist. This volume examines the subtle actions of the human senses including taste, touch, smell and vision in all sorts of performances in Western and non-Western traditions, from ritual to theatre, from dance to interactive architecture, from performance art to historical opera. With eighteen original essays brought together by an international ensemble of leading scholars and artists including Richard Schechner and Philip Zarrilli. This covers a variety of disciplinary fields from critical studies to performance studies, from food studies to ethnography from drama to architecture. Written in an accessible way this volume will appeal to scholars and non-scholars interested in Performance/Theatre Studies and Cultural Studies.
