Reviews
Rethinking the Actor's Body confronts us with the perspective to undertake the first steps towards something that in the long run could affect our understanding of not only the actor's, but also the 'ordinary', everyday body. * Skene: Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies *
This is an excellent book. ... with such excellent, succinct confirmations and revelations entirely backed up by his dialogues with science. It is indispensable in this regard. * National Drama *
