Flesh and TextDevising Performance by Bodies in Flight\nAuthor(s): Simon Jones, Sara Giddens\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Intellect, United Kingdom\nImprint: Intellect Books\nISBN-13: 9781835950715, 978-1835950715\nSynopsis\nBodies in Flight make performance where flesh utters and words move, challenging and re-energizing the relationship between audiences and performers, and audiences and place. \n\nEmerging from rigorous interdisciplinary and collaborative methods, often with new technologies in cutting-edge venues, we insist on the buzz of ideas, on philosophy and poetry, using words and images, movement and stillness, voices and bodies, through which they aim to move audiences emotionally and spiritually. Organized in a highly visual design, this volume is both a history and a workbook with selections of scripts and archival material from 30 years of making devised theatre and performance in the UK and internationally, plus texts by collaborators, arts professionals and scholars.
