Description

A lively, critical study of one of the most important innovators, thinkers and directors in contemporary world theatre: Tadashi Suzuki, complete with practical Suzuki Method actor-training examples on a DVD. For over forty years Tadashi Suzuki has been a unique and vital force in both Japanese and Western theatre, creating and directing many internationally acclaimed productions including his most famous production, The Trojan Women, which toured throughout the world. An integral part of his work has been the development and teaching of his rigorous and, for some, controversial training system, the Suzuki Method, whose principles have also been highly influential in modern theatre. Dr Paul Allain, an experienced practitioner of the Suzuki Method re-evaluates Suzuki's work, giving a lucid overview of his development towards and international theatre aesthetic. He examines Suzuki's collaborators, the importance of architectuire and environment in his theatre and his impact on performance all over the world.
