Title: Stepping Stones (2010) Author: Ingemar Lindh ISBN: 978-83-61835-44-8 Price: €17 A book by a practitioner. It documents the work of a laboratory-based practice that investigated the principles of collective improvisation as a performance practice. Ingemar Lindh’s research, which announces a resistance to choreography, fixed scores, and directorial montage, has significant implications for the practice and theory of performance in a post-dramatic age. |
| Title: Theatre and Boxing: The Actor Who Flies (forthcoming 2011) Author: Franco Ruffini This book deals with one of the main technical features in acting: the actor’s ‘real action’, the action that is motivated and productive, as Stanislavski specified. When it is motivated and productive – that is, real – the actor’s action is not only readable but also believable. The whole science of the theatre developed by the masters of the twentieth-century Great Theatre Reform is founded on the search for ‘real action’. |
