商品描述

This book takes choreographer William Forsythe's choreographic and scenographic processes as a holistic lens through which to view dance as a fundamentally visuo-sonic art form and choreography as a form of perceptual experimentation. In doing so, it reveals how the made worlds within which postdramatic dance is situated influence how choreography is perceived. Resonating with ecological perspectives but also drawing on an extensive range of cognitive research approaches, the volume's choreo-scenographic perspective emphasizes the importance of considering the expanded scenography of lighting, sound, space, scenic elements, costume, and performer movement when analyzing the sensory and cognitive perception of dance. The volume provides a first book-length cognitive study of both an individual choreographer and the aesthetics of postdramatic theatre. It also satisfies a need for more dedicated scholarship on Forsythe, whose extensive and varied array of groundbreaking ballets and dance theater works for the Ballett Frankfurt (1984-2004), The Forsythe Company (2005-15), and as an independent choreographer have made him a key figure in 20th/21st century dance.
Freya Vass is a Lecturer in Drama and Theatre at the University of Kent, UK, and a freelance dance dramaturg. Her principal research interests include cognitive dance studies, dance dramaturgy, performativity, devising, and arts-sciences interdisciplinarity. A former professional dancer with companies in Europe and the US, she holds a PhD in Dance History and Theory and was Dramaturg and Production Assistant for The Forsythe Company from 2006 - 2013.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書以編舞家威廉·福賽斯(William Forsythe)的編舞與舞台設計過程作為一個整體的視角,來觀察舞蹈作為一種根本上視覺與聲音藝術形式的特性,以及編舞作為一種感知實驗的形式。在這樣的過程中,揭示了後戲劇舞蹈所處的創造世界如何影響編舞的感知。這本書與生態學的觀點相呼應,同時也借鑒了廣泛的認知研究方法,強調在分析舞蹈的感官與認知感知時,考慮擴展的舞台設計,包括燈光、聲音、空間、舞台元素、服裝和表演者的動作的重要性。本書提供了對個別編舞家及後戲劇劇場美學的首部書長認知研究。它也滿足了對福賽斯更專門學術研究的需求,福賽斯在法蘭克福芭蕾舞團(Ballett Frankfurt,1984-2004)、福賽斯公司(The Forsythe Company,2005-2015)以及作為獨立編舞家的廣泛且多樣的開創性芭蕾舞和舞蹈劇場作品,使他成為20世紀/21世紀舞蹈的關鍵人物。
