"(Syn)aesthetics: Redefining Visceral Performance," now in
paperback, offers a new, original theory that describes a range of
performance work whilst simultaneously providing a critical
discourse for appreciating and analyzing such work. encompassing
bodies, space, the written and spoken word and new technologies in
performance. Featuring a new Preface which helps to orient readers
through the theoretical work in the first part of the book and the
original interviews in the second part, the book offers a new way
of thinking and talking about experiential practice in the
interdisciplinary arts.
This exciting approach incorporates original interviews with
leading practitioners in the field of theatre, dance, immersive
practice and site-sympathetic work, live art and technological
performance practice including Punchdrunk, Shunt, Graeae, Bodies In
Flight, Curious, Akram Khan, Naomi Wallace, Kwame-Kwei-Armah,
Marisa Carnesky, Linda Bassett and Jo McInnes. These discussions
explore the links between theory and practice by clarifying how
(syn)aesthetics works across diverse artistic events.
Machon engages a unique and sensual approach to
thinking/producing/writing/receiving, which celebrates the
continuum of experience that underpins (syn)aesthetic practice and
appreciation. (Syn)aesthetics is an empowering new tool for
students and practitioners of performance, especially those wary of
or inhibited by traditional academic discourse, and provides a
critical vocabulary which can be used to describe cutting-edge,
visceral and experimental performance practice.
