The Rasaboxes Sourcebook: Theory, Performer Training, and Practice
The Rasaboxes Sourcebook: Theory, Performer Training, and Practice
The Rasaboxes Sourcebook is the first full-length volume dedicated to the history, theory, practice, and application of a suite of increasingly popular performer training exercises known as rasaboxes.
Rasaboxes is an interdisciplinary approach - originally devised by Richard Schechner - for training emotional awareness and expressivity through the use of breath, body, voice, gesture, movement, and sensation. It brings together:
scientific research on emotion in neurobiology and neuroscience;
contemporary performance studies;
the theory of rasa from the Indian performance treatise, The Natyasastra
other related performer training theories and practices
The Rasaboxes Sourcebook includes a new introduction by Schechner as well as his original essay on ‘Rasaesthetics’, and usefully combines both practical ‘how-to’ guidance and full and detailed contextualisation.
