Toward a General Theory of Acting. Cognitive Science and Performa

Celebrating the mystery of the creative process, Toward a General Theory of Acting explores the actor´s art through the lens of Dynamic Systems Theory and recent findings in the Cognitive Sciences. Lutterbie takes into account a vast array of training methods and types of theatre in the West, from Stanislavski to Lecoq. He discusses technique, improvisation, and creating a score and how actors bring the three together to create a reciprocal relationship with spectators that engages their thoughts, feelings, and imagination.
