This is the first textbook designed for students, practitioners and
scholars of the performing arts who are curious about the power of
the cognitive sciences to throw light on the processes of
performance. It equips readers with a clear understanding of how
research in cognitive neuroscience has illuminated and expanded
traditional approaches to thinking about topics such as the
performer, the spectator, space and time, culture, and the text.
Each chapter considers four layers of performance: conventional
forms of theatre, performance art, and everyday life, offering an
expansive vision of the impact of the cognitive sciences on
performance in the widest sense. Written in an approachable style,
An Introduction to Theatre, Performance and the Cognitive Sciences
weaves together case studies of a wide range of performances with
scientific evidence and post-structural theory. Artists such as
Robert Wilson, Societas Raffaello Sanzio, Ariane Mnouchkine,
Bertolt Brecht, and Antonin Artaud are brought into conversation
with theories of Gilles Deleuze, Shaun Gallagher, Alva Noe, Tim
Ingold and the science of V. S. Ramachandran, Vittorio Gallese, and
Antonio Damasio. John Lutterbie offers a complex understanding of
not only the act of performing but the forces that mark the place
of theatre in contemporary society. In drawing on a variety of
scientific articles, Lutterbie provides readers with an accessible
account of significant research in areas in the field and reveals
how the sciences can help us understand the experience of art.
