Performing the Remembered Present: The Cognition of Memory in Dance, Theatre and Music (Performance and Science: Interdisciplinary Dialogues)

Synopsis

This international collection brings together scientists, scholars and artist-researchers to explore the cognition of memory through the performing arts and examine artistic strategies that target cognitive processes of memory. The strongly embodied and highly trained memory systems of performing artists render artistic practice a rich context for understanding how memory is formed, utilized and adapted through interaction with others, instruments and environments. Using experimental, interpretive and Practice-as-Research methods that bridge disciplines, the authors provide overview chapters and case studies of subjects such as:* collectively and environmentally distributed memory in the performing arts;* autobiographical memory triggers in performance creation and reception;* the journey from learning to memory in performance training;* the relationship between memory, awareness and creative spontaneity, and* memorization and embodied or structural analysis of scores and scripts.This volume provides an unprecedented resource for scientists, scholars, artists, teachers and students looking for insight into the cognition of memory in the arts, strategies of learning and performance, and interdisciplinary research methodology.
