A sophisticated analysis of how the intersection of technique,
memory, and imagination inform performance, Crossing Cultural
Borders Through the Actor's Work redirects the intercultural debate
by focusing exclusively on the actor at work. Alongside the
perspectives of other prominent intercultural actors, this study
draws from original interviews with Ang Gey Pin (formerly with the
Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards) and Roberta
Carreri (Odin Teatret). By illuminating the hidden creative
processes usually unavailable to outsiders - the actor's
apprenticeship, training, character development, and rehearsals -
Nascimento both reveals how assumptions based on race or ethnicity
are misguiding, trouble definitions of intra- and intercultural
practices, and details how performance analyses and claims of
appropriation fail to consider the permanent transformation of the
actor's identity that cultural transmission and embodiment
represent.
