| Summary: | Robert Wilson is an American-European director who is also a performer, installation artist, writer, designer of light and much more besides - a crossover polymath who dissolves both generic and geographical boundaries and is a precursor of globalisation in the arts. This is the first book to combine: analysis of his main productions, situated in their American and European socio-cultural and political contexts, an exploration of his 'visual book', workshop and rehearsal methods, and collaborative procedures, a study of his aesthetic principles and the elements of composition that distinguish his directorial approach, a series of practical exercises for students and practitioners highlighting Wilson's technique. As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners are unbeatable value for today's student |
