I am delighted to inform colleagues that following the selling out
after 6 weeks of the first hardback print of Performer Training
Reconfigured: Post-psychophysical Perspectives for the
Twenty-first Century (Methuen Drama), the book is now

The book has been nominated for a TaPRA
2019 award for outstanding research. It offers a radical
re-evaluation of current approaches to performer training,
equipping readers with a set of new ways of thinking about and
ultimately 'doing' training. The author 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. Offering invaluable introductions to a wide range of
theories around which the book is structured – including
postphenomenological, sociomaterial, affect and situated cognition –
the volume provides readers with an enticing array of critical
approaches to training and creative processes.
Regards,
Frank
