An edited collection of essays on the role of the senses in performance. Sight is the only sense to have been investigated in any great depth in relation to performance so far. This volume is spearheading a growing movement to start examining the other senses and their role in performance. The book covers a lot of ground: all the sense are discussed in relation to Western and non-Western performance, including performance art, opera, dance and drama.
