Inside The Performance Workshop

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.
