Art of Resonance

<i>What is artistic resonance and how can it be linked to one's life and one's art?</i><br/><br/>This latest book of essays from legendary theatre director Anne Bogart considers the creation of resonance in the artistic endeavour with a focus on the performing arts. <br/><br/>The word 'resonance' comes from the Latin meaning to 're-sound' or 'sound together'. From music to physics resonance is a common thread that evokes a response and in general is understood as a quality that makes something personally meaningful and valuable.<br/><br/>For Bogart curiosity is a key personal quality to be nurtured throughout life and that very same curiosity as an artist thinker and human being. <br/><br/>Creating pathways between performance theory art history neuroscience music architecture and the visual arts and consistently forging new thought-paths the writing draws upon Anne Bogart's own life and artistic journeys to illuminate potent philosophical ideas. <br/><br/>Woven with personal anecdotes stories and reflections this is a book that will be of interest to any theatre artist and anyone who reflects on the power of the arts of theatre-making and what it means to be engaged in the artistic process.
