- 摘要: Di Benedetto considers theatrical practice through the lens of contemporary neuroscientific discoveries in this provoking study, which lays the foundation for considering the physiological basis of the power of theatre practice to affect human behavior. He presents a basic summary of the ways that the senses function in relation to cognitive science and physiology, offering an overview of dominant trends of discussion on the realm of the senses in performance. Also presented are examples of how those ideas are illustrated in recent theatrical presentations, and how the different senses form the structure of a theatrical event. Di Benedetto concludes by suggesting the possible implications these neuroscientific ideas have upon our understanding of theatrical composition, audience response, and the generation of meaning.

"Theatrical performance has the potential to change our experience of the world and therefore, the potential to change our experience of the world and therefore, the potential to change our ability to perceive the world in a new way. This book explores how being aware of and marshalling one's senses can enrich the viewing of a contemporary theatrical presentation... Description of a range of performative events connect the ways in which stimuli trigger events that lead to the subjective monitoring of sensory stimulation, and then potentially serve as data to support theoretical analysis. Each subsequent chapter explores, in particular, how each of the five senses are processed, considers how they are used in performance, and what this suggests about the power and function of theatre." -- p. x-xi.
