Steinman's book really stands alone among performance art books. While there are many that document what particular artists are doing, this one offers a way in for a person who wants to perform (or know more about how performance artists work). Must reading for anyone interested in performance art, it will also be fascinating to those in theatre, playwriting, visual arts and performance of any sort.

Compared to the wealth of information available to us about classical tragedy and comedy, not much is known about the culture of pantomime, mime, and dance in late antiquity. Webb fills this gap in our knowledge and provides us with a detailed look at social life in the late antique period through an investigation of its performance culture.

This book takes its point of departure from the overwhelming interest in theories of the body and performativity in sociology and cultural studies in recent years. It explores a variety of ways of looking at dance as a social and artistic (bodily) practice as a means of generating insights into the politics of identity and difference as they are situated and traced through representations of the body and bodily practices. These issues are addressed through a series of case studies.

"The study begins with an exploration of O'Connor's Southern milieu, a survey of relevant scholarship (particularly feminist theory), and a clarification of essential terms and concepts surrounding ritual. The remaining chapters are then dedicated to the six short stories, each of which depicts certain ritual patterns and archetypal models. In this way, the study furnishes a prototype that can be applied to O'Connor's entire oeuvre." "Ritual Performance in the Fiction of Flannery O'Connor is an excellent resource for teachers and students of American literature, Southern Studies, feminist theory, and ritual studies. Because it is story-centered rather than theory-driven, it will appeal to those who are looking for ways to read (and teach) O'Connor's astonishing stories more deeply."--BOOK JACKET.

Edited by Nathan Stucky and Cynthia Wimmer, Teaching Performance Studies is the first organized treatment of performance studies theory, practice, and pedagogy. This collection of eighteen essays by leading scholars and educators reflects the emergent and contested nature of performance studies, a field that looks at the broad range of human performance from everyday conversation to formal theatre and cultural ritual. The cross-disciplinary freedom enacted by the writers suggests a new vision of performance studies--a deliberate commerce between field and classroom.

How does an actor embody a character? How do they use their body as an instrument of expression? Rethinking the Actor's Body offers an accessible introduction to the fields of neurophysiology and embodied knowledge through a detailed examination of what an actor does with their body. Built on almost a decade of conversations and public seminars by the author Dick McCaw in partnership with John Rothwell (Professor of Neurophysiology at University College London, UK), Rethinking the Actor's Body explores a set of questions and preoccupations concerning the actor's body and examines overlaps in research and practice in the fields of actor training, embodied knowledge and neurophysiology.
