In this stimulating volume, Frank Camilleri draws on his experience as a theatre practitioner-scholar to carefully tease out those aspects of performer training that are often left in the background during discussions of psychophysical performance practices. This marginalisation is performed even by those whose practices might already be post-psychophysical in Camilleri’s terms. Drawing on a combination of theoretical approaches including agential realism, assemblage theory and postphenomenology, Camilleri practises a critical posthumanist reconfiguration of performer training that respectfully builds on and supplements the insights of the dominant psychophysical performance paradigm.
