Frank (University of Malta, Malta) Camilleri 
Performer Training Reconfigured [PDF ebook] 
Post-Psychophysical Perspectives for the Twenty-First Century

Offering a radical re-evaluation of current approaches to performer training, this is a text that equips readers with a set of new ways of thinking about and ultimately ”doing” training. Stemming from his extensive practice and incorporating a review of prevailing methods and theories, Frank Camilleri focuses on how material circumstances shape and affect processes of training, devising, rehearsing and performing.
Frank Camilleri puts forward the ”post-psychophysical” as a more extended form of psychophysical discussion and practice that emerged and dominated in the 20th century. The ”post-psychophysical” updates the concept of an integrated bodymind in various ways, such as the notion of a performer”s bodyworld that incorporates technology and the material world. Offering invaluable introductions to a wide range of theories around which the book is structured – including postphenomenological, sociomaterial, affect and situated cognition – this volume provides readers with an enticing array of critical approaches to training and creative processes.
