ABSTRACT

Chapter 9: Third Theatre exercises: An expanded practice foregrounds different approaches to psychophysical performer training generated by the groups explored in the Case Studies and the NTL artists. Thus, rather than a blueprint, snapshots of different forms of training will be offered that trace potential relationships between exercises, training, improvisation, the creation of dramaturgical structures and cultural action. Exercises offer the reader/practitioner the opportunity to make their own connections through the body to this multifarious performance culture.
