This book situates the work of the renowned voice and movement
trainer Arthur Lessac in the context of contemporary actor training
as a whole. Melissa Hurt uses Maurice Merleau-Ponty's theories of
embodiment to frame Lessac's approach in terms of Embodied Acting,
a key subject in contemporary performance. In doing so, she
explains how the actor can come to experience both technique and
expression as a subjective whole, through meditation and spatial
attunement. As well as feeding this somatic approach into a wider
discussion of embodiment, the author provides concrete examples of
how the practice can be put into effect, and studied at university
level.
