Psychology for Performing Artists
註釋Modern psychology has much to offer performing artists in terms of understanding themselves and optimizing their art: it can explain the instinctual origins of the impulse to perform, examine the two-way relationship between performer and audience, describe the way in which emotions are transmitted via non-verbal processes, test theories about the nature of music and humour and their influence on our emotions, and offer suggestions as to how the particular stresses that performers are under can be managed. This book provides a unique and up-to-date analysis of what psychology has to contribute for actors, musicians, singers and dancers. Drawing on numerous practical examples from the arts as well as scientific and clinical research, it will be an invaluable resource for student, professional and amateur performer alike.
