<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>What is artistic resonance and how can it be linked to one's life and one's art? </i> <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This optimistic and brilliantly erudite book is essential reading for any serious theatre maker emerging from the pandemic in search of a new road map for theatre practice.
