On the Origins of Theater - Interdisciplinary Studies in Performance
Miroslaw Kocur
This book presents an interdisciplinary investigation into the emergence of the actor and the theater. It explains the role of bipedality, toolmaking and trance in the evolution of the performer, examines the performativity of space and writing, and argues that ancient culture emerged from dance.
