- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph is the first to deal exclusively with contemporary directors and directing. It draws on seven years of international, primary research, including extensive theatre-making and performance ‘fieldwork’, and new verbatim material. In particular, the book draws on the author’s observation of international rehearsal processes – a difficult-to-arrange opportunity that greatly augments a neglected area of study. The project also required extensive study of neuroaesthetic theory, alongside analysis of creative process models. As a result of these sustained research efforts, the monograph provides an ambitious, long-form discussion of what the director does and how they know it is done well.
