[Candrama] New Book - Interdisciplinarity in the Performing Arts: Contemporary Perspectives

[Stefan Aquilina]

Dear all

You might be interested in having a look at a new publication titled
*Interdisciplinarity
in the Performing Arts: Contemporary Perspectives *(Malta University
Press), which I co-edited with Dr Malaika Sarco Thomas.

The volume contributes to current discussion about the intrinsic
interdisciplinary nature of the performing arts, while also
identifying the potential
which theatre, dance, and music have in creating bridges with other
disciplines like neuroscience, social sciences, philosophy, pedagogy, and
therapy.



Featuring contributions from KU Leuven (Belgium), Royal Holloway (London),
Ghent University, Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Brazil), Vrije
Universiteit Brussel, the University of Malta, and Adam Mickiewicz
University (Poland), *Interdisciplinarity in the Performing Arts* explores
questions brought forward by approaches to performance that interweave
theory and practice, through examples of methodologies, philosophies,
interpretations, and applications of interdisciplinarity today. It should
be of interest to scholars, practitioners, and students engaged in
advancing practice and knowledge beyond the safety of segregated and
well-trodden academic pathways.


*Interdisciplinarity in the Performing Arts: Contemporary Perspectives *has
been endorsed Prof. Maria M. Delgado (The Royal Central School of Speech
and Drama) and Prof. Sarah Whatley (Centre for Dance Research).
