THE DIRECTOR AND DIRECTING - ADAM J LEDGER GEBU...

This book critically assesses the artistry of contemporary directors. Its discussion includes
the work of Declan Donnellan  Thomas Ostermeier  Deborah Warner  Simon Stone and Krzysztof
Warlikowski. Alongside the work of wider theorists (Patrice Pavis and Erika Fischer-Lichte)  it
uses neuroaesthetic theory (Semir Zeki) and cognitive and creative process models to offer an
original means to discuss the performance event  emotion  brain structures and concepts  and
the actor's body in performance. It offers first-hand observation of rehearsals led by Katie
Mitchell  Ivo van Hove  Carrie Cracknell and the Steppenwolf Theatre. It also explores devising
in relation to the work of Simon McBurney and contemporary groups  and scenography in relation
to the work of Dmitry Krymov  Robert Wilson and Robert Lepage. The Director and Directing
argues that the director creates a type of knowledge  'reward' and 'resonant experience' (G.
Gabrielle Starr) through instinctive and expert choices.
