{"product_id":"movement-training-for-the-modern-mark-evans-9780415963671","title":"Movement Training for the Modern Actor","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first critical analysis of the key principles and practices informing the movement training of actors in the modern era. Focusing on the cultural history of modern movement training for actors, Evans traces the development of the 'neutral' body as a significant area of practice within drama school training and the relationship between movement pedagogy and the operation of discipline and power in shaping the professional identity of the actor. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume looks in detail at the influence of the leading figures in movement training -- Laban, Alexander, Copeau and Lecoq -- on twentieth century professional actor training, and is informed by interviews with students and staff at leading English drama schools. Mark Evans re-evaluates the significance of movement training in the professional drama school, offering a new understanding of the body as a site for performative resistance to industrialization. Despite the publication of a number of 'how to' books on movement training for the professional acting student, this is the first text to look behind the curtain and write the unseen biography of the actor's body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Evans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415963672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415963671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 257","brand":"Mark Evans","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064978419967,"sku":"9780415963671","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d445a345-089b-4566-86b3-6798e3b8feb6.jpg?v=1768672320","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/movement-training-for-the-modern-mark-evans-9780415963671","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
