Reviews
'Including a comprehensive bibliography, this heavily annotated study is a must read for those who teach dance and movement... Highly recommended.' - CHOICE 'Extremely well researched... The book gives a positive message about the movement training of actors and should make students feel excited about this aspect of training.' - Teaching Drama 'Evan's writing style is accessible and the questions he raises are enlightening, relevant and often surprising' - Youth Drama Ireland 'Mark Evans' Movement Training for the Modern Actor is not another manual to be added to the expanding corpus of movement books for actors...the purpose of Evans' book, published in the Routledge Advances in Theatre and Performance Studies series, is different - and, for a plethora of reasons, groundbreaking. This book, certainly more interested in the context/contours of movement pedagogy rather than its content, and with a meticulously compiled list of bibliographical sources, is a most welcome addition to the blossoming field of critical engagement with body praxis.' --Konstantinos Thomaidis, Platform
