This new edition of Physical Theatres: A Critical Introduction
continues to provide an unparalleled overview of non-text-based
theatre, from experimental dance to traditional mime. It

and a dynamic and innovative aspect of theatrical practice. This

classical and popular theatrical traditions looks at the Dance

standalone text or together with its companion volume, Physical
Theatres: A Critical Reader, to provide an invaluable introduction
to the physical in theatre and performance. New to this edition: a
chapter on The Body and Technology, exploring the impact of digital
technologies on the portrayal, perception and reading of the
theatre body, spanning from onstage technology to virtual realities
and motion capture; additional profiles of Jerzy Grotowski, Wrights

performance, new training practices, immersive and site-specific
