The first ever full-length, fully illustrated manual for practitioners, it provides:<br> *a guide to the physical, vocal and improvisational dynamics drawn from world performance styles<br> *a new vocabulary with which to interpret plays from around the globe<br> *games to use for exploring rhythm, movement, balance, tension and gesture, breathwork, stylisation and the use of the voice<br> *a practical approach to creating vibrant theatrical work.<br> Studies on intercultural performance are usually written by scholars and reasearchers. John Martin explains the definition and development of intercultural performance studies from the perspective of an experienced practitioner.
