Collaborative Embodied Performance: Ecologies of Skill de Kath Bicknell

Collaborative Embodied Performance: Ecologies of Skill: Performance and Science: Interdisciplinary Dialogues

Editat de Kath Bicknell, Professor John Sutton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2023
This book is about joint intelligence in action. It brings together scholarship in performance studies, cognitive science, sociology, literature, anthropology, psychology, architecture, philosophy and sport science to ask how tightly knit collaboration works. Contributors apply innovative methodologies to detailed case studies of martial arts, social interaction, freediving, site-specific artworks, Body Weather, human-AI music composition, Front-of-House at Shakespeare's Globe, acrobatics and failing at handstands. In each investigation, performance and theory are mutually revealing, informative and captivating. Short chapters fall into thematic clusters exploring complex ecologies of skill, collaborative learning and the microstructure of embodied coordination, followed by commentaries from leading scholars in performance studies and cognitive science. Each contribution highlights unique features of the performance ecology, equipping performance makers, students and researchers with the theoretical, methodological and practical inspiration to delve deeper into their own embodied practices and critical thinking.

Recenzii

In dancing the tango, watching a live performance, or constructing a site-specific art installation, individuals synergistically and seamlessly engage in complex collaborative actions. How can mind, body and environment mesh to achieve shared goals? Bicknell and Sutton's superb anthology is essential reading for anyone interested in better understanding thought in action in group endeavours.
By tracing how mindful expert performance can be shaped by ecological, social interpersonal, technological, and cultural factors, the essays collected in this book provide wonderfully in-depth accounts of skilled action in a diverse array of contexts and practices, from theatrical arts to martial arts. We find here important analyses of learning and skill acquisition, but also insights into live professional performance and training.
