ABSTRACT
In many ways, the interdisciplinary nature of theatre is obvious—architecture, history, fashion, cultural and social customs etc. come together—however, we don't often reflect in the same way on acting technique or character analysis. This book is one step in engaging interdisciplinarily with our understanding of characters and their world, using theoretical conversations from across the academy. Our goal is to increase/encourage self-awareness among teachers, practitioners, students, and artists, and through that increased awareness, create a more vibrant character analysis, performance, or production. From an inclusive position, we can offer our characters a more diverse and fully realized spectrum of choices from which to engage in the world of the play.
