Theatre as an art form has often been associated with notions of presence. The ‘live’ immediacy of the actor, the unmediated unfolding of dramatic action and the ‘energy’ generated through an actor-audience relationship are among the ideas frequently used to explain theatrical experience – and all are underpinned by some understanding of ‘presence.’ Precisely what is meant by presence in the theatre is part of what Presence in Play sets out to explain. While this work is rooted in twentieth century theatre and performance since modernism, the author draws on a range of historical and theoretical material. Encompassing ideas from semiotics and phenomenology, Presence in Play puts forward a framework for thinking about presence in theatre, enriched by poststructuralist theory, forcefully arguing in favour of ‘presence’ as a key concept for theatre studies today.Consciousness, literature & the arts ;12.TheaterPhilosophyTheaterPsychological aspectsTheaterSemioticsElectronic books.TheaterPhilosophy.TheaterPsychological aspects.TheaterSemiotics.792.013Power Cormac942826Ebooks Corporation.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452297003321Presence in play2127589UNINA
