Recenzii
"As a whole, The Lines Between the Lines delivers on the promises outlined in its title and introduction: to uncover the affective elements of stage directions that occur in production, embodiment, and performance. Working deftly through a variety of theoretical perspectives, particularly semiotics, performativity, and affect theory, Rowen opens up a purportedly boring, possibly constraining, and always imperative aspect of scripts and illustrates its radical potential for multiplicity and fanciful engagement."
"The Lines Between the Lines is a richly valuable new interrogation of a still somewhat under-explored element of theatre practice and scholarship."
"The book pulls off an astonishing feat by being both a typology of stage directions and a stirring call to action. Rowen's hortatory tone drives the prose, performing the criminally uncommon feat of marrying theory and analysis to practicable suggestions and provocations toward performance and production practices..."
"This timely investigation, which re-frames our historical and contemporary understandings of the roles that stage directions play in affecting all bodies that encounter them, establishes a productive path forward for those who write, embody, and analyse stage directions. It rightfully recognizes affective stage directions as tools that prompt creative, inclusive choices in both imagined and staged performances and establishes the groundwork for future studies on the relationship between affect and embodiment on stage."
"Rowen consistently models a scrupulous and innovative method for reading affective stage directions, and the field would be wise to take up her invitation to extend the work beyond this book’s thoughtfully defined parameters. So, too, would twenty-first-century theater artists who feel compelled by but also frustrated with O’Neill and his plays. As Rowen shows, the author’s copious stage directions can provide them with opportunities to exercise a creative authority that is all their own."
"In an ambitious project that bridges theoretical analysis and practical application, Bess Rowen considers the significance and importance of stage directions within the theatrical text in The Lines between the Lines: How Stage Directions Affect Embodiment. Tracing the evolution of stage directions from the twentieth century on, Rowen argues that stage directions offer a path toward interrogating the cultural processes of theatre to challenge, subvert, and transform how we think about representation."
"Rowen inspires and guides the reader to tend to their own embodied reactions. While "[c]ross[ing] out these descriptions" may give production teams and actors a sense of resisting the authority of the playwright, Rowen's methodology provides an alternative that systematically reconfigures this relationships. For all the attention we give to bodies who perform on stage, The Lines Between the Lines reminds us that text, just as vitally, performs on the body."
"Rowen makes clear throughout that embracing stage directions is an opportunity for theatre practitioners to collaborate with the playwright even when they are unable to be a part of the production process. The Lines Between the Lines is a great tool for most theatre artists."
