How are we to understand the actor's work as a fully embodied
process? 'Embodied cognition' is a branch of contemporary
philosophy which attempts to frame human understanding as a fully
embodied interaction with the environment. Engaging with ideas of
contemporary significance from neuroscience, psychology,
linguistics, and philosophy, Why Do Actors Train? challenges
outmoded mind/body dualistic notions that permeate common
conceptions of how actors work. Theories of embodiment are drawn up
to shed important light on the ways and reasons actors do what they
do. Through detailed, step-by-step analyses of specific
actor-training exercises, the author examines the tools that actors
use to perform roles. This book provides theatre practitioners with
a new lens to re-examine their craft, offering a framework to
understand the art form as one that is fundamentally grounded in
embodied experience.
