Offering a radical re-evaluation of current approaches to performer training

This is a text that equips readers with a set of new ways of thinking about and ultimately doing training. Stemming from his extensive practice and incorporating a review of prevailing methods and theories, Frank Camilleri focuses on how material circumstances shape and affect processes of training, devising, rehearsing and performing.

Frank Camilleri and the post-psychophysical approach

Frank Camilleri puts forward the post-psychophysical as a more extended form of psychophysical discussion and practice that emerged and dominated in the 20th century. The post-psychophysical updates the concept of an integrated bodymind in various ways, such as the notion of a performer's bodyworld that incorporates technology and the material world.

Theoretical frameworks and critical approaches

Offering invaluable introductions to a wide range of theories around which the book is structured – including postphenomenological, sociomaterial, affect and situated cognition – this volume provides readers with an enticing array of critical approaches to training and creative processes.
