Full description for Robert Lepage

  • "Routledge Performance Practitioners" is a series of introductory guides to the key theater-makers of the last century. Each volume explains the background to and the work of one of the major influences on twentieth- and twenty-first-century performance. Robert Lepage is one of Canada's most foremost playwrights and directors. His company, Ex Machina has toured to international acclaim and he has leant his talents to areas as diverse as opera, concert tours, acting and installation art. His most celebrated work blends acute personal narratives with bold global themes.This is the first book to combine: an overview of the key phases in Lepage's life and career; examination of the issues and questions pertinent to his work; discussion of "The Seven Streams of River Ota" as a paradigm of his working methods; and, a variety of practical exercises designed to give an insight into Lepage's creative process. As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, "Routledge Performance Practitioners" are unbeatable value for today's student.
