Reviews

“Embodied Consciousness: Performance Technologies … is a collection of essays focusing on the category of human consciousness and its significance for performance studies. … represent the most recent developments in the encounter between science, theatre and performance and are highly recommendable for anyone who is interested in learning more about these fields. … thus present the reader with an impressive range of approaches and frameworks, exploring the exciting and quickly expanding dialogue between science and performance.” (Elżbieta Baraniecka, Journal of Contemporary Drama in English, Vol. 3 (2), February, 2015)
