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.
