More Description
Robert Wilson is an American¿European director who is also a performer, installation artist, writer, designer of light and much more besides ¿ a crossover polymath who dissolves both generic and geographical boundaries and is a precursor of globalisation in the arts. This second edition of Robert Wilson combines:
- an analysis of his main productions, situated in their American and European socio-cultural and political contexts
- a focused, detailed study of Wilson¿s pathbreaking Einstein on the Beach
- a study of Pushkin's Fairy Tales as the foremost example of his folk-rock music theatre in the twenty-first century
- an exploration of his ¿visual book¿, workshop and rehearsal methods, and collaborative procedures
- a study of his aesthetic principles and the elements of composition that distinguish his directorial approach
- a series of practical exercises for students and practitioners highlighting Wilson¿s technique.
As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners offer unbeatable value for today¿s student.
