Write a Review

Actors and the Art of Performance: Under Exposure combines the author's two main biographical paths: her professional commitment to the fi elds of both theater andphilosophy. The art of acting on stage is analyzed here not only from the theoreticalperspective of a spectator but also from the perspective of the actor. The authordraws on her experience as both a theater actor and a university professor whoseteachings in the art of acting rely heavily on her own experience and also on herphilosophical knowledge. The book is unique not only in terms of its content but alsoin terms of its style. Written in a multiplicity of voices, the text oscillates betweenphilosophical reasoning and narrative forms of writing, including micronarratives,fables, parables, and inter alia by Carroll, Hoff mann, and Kleist. Hence the bookclaims that a transdisciplinary dialogue between the art of acting and the art ofphilosophical thinking calls for an aesthetic study that questions and begins to seekalternatives to traditionally established and ingrained formats of philosophy.
