Produktbeschreibung

Moore, Burridge, and the contributors explore the multifaceted role of improvisation, from rehearsal to performance and teaching to learning within the Southeast Asian performing arts scene. They feature a vital overview of how contemporary Southeast Asian artists use improvisation in their practice through diverse theoretical perspectives, innovative methods, and idiosyncratic strategies.

The book highlights the strength of improvisation as a connective tissue facilitating collaboration and interdisciplinarity across the performing arts. It shows how artists and practitioners navigate the dynamic landscape of Southeast Asian arts, blurring taxonomical boundaries to embrace change and innovation. From interrogative full-length chapters to insightful personal case narratives, each contribution showcases the practical application of improvisation in real-world projects. The chapters affirm improvisation as both a creative process and a performance strategy, unlocking new possibilities in performing arts and providing an inspired snapshot of contemporary Southeast Asian creative practice.

With discourse extending beyond conventional disciplinary confines, this book is a valuable read for graduate and postgraduate students, educators, and researchers in diverse fields encompassing dance, music, theatre studies, performance studies, aesthetics, and interdisciplinary arts. It is also a viable resource for professionals in the performing arts industry as it provides invaluable insights into the transformative power of improvisation.
