In The Life of Training, John Matthews offers an accessible and original contribution to the philosophy of training for performance, building on his previous works Training for Performance (2011) and Anatomy of Performance Training (2014).
With chapters on the seven characteristics of biological life - reproduction, stimulation, heritability, adaptation, growth, organisation and homeostasis - Matthews combines his unique approach with elements of Hannah Arendt's mature philosophy to reach surprising and essential conclusions about the role time plays in training practices, and about the function of training practices in producing time and its tenses. Ideal for readers seeking to understand the relationship between training practices and human experience, on and off stage, or for teachers looking for a new, innovative approach to performance.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Methuen DramaISBN-13:9781350046405ISBN-10:135004640XUPC:9781350046405Book Category:DramaSize:8.50 x 5.50 x 0.56 inchesWeight:0.4Product ID:SCRQ0NRQN6
