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 'As the first critical study of movement in actor training, this is a highly informative, ground-breaking textbook which rounds up an extensive range of theories about what movement training is and does as a set of practices, while simultaneously interrogating the politics of the body.' - Dymphna Callery, New Theatre Quarterly
