And why is semiotics the best approach for the analysis and interpretation of the performing arts?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on semiotic developments of the past five decades, this book introduces students to the semiotic analysis of live performances and provides them with a clear method for untangling the multimodal complexity of performance from the spectator''s point of view.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresenting live performances as two-way communication processes, social events, and cognitive and affective experiences, each chapter of this highly accessible book begins first with an overview of the basics. This is followed by a case study, and moves through to a more advanced discussion, accompanied by suggestions for exercises and further reading. Diagrams and flow charts help to clearly illustrate the conceptual tools used in the analytical process, and a companion website contains recorded extracts from the live performances discussed in the book, which students can use to put their knowledge into practice. The book explores a broad range of performance types from across different cultures, including music, opera, ballet, theatre, circus, mime, improvisation, and immersion. It offers a guide for understanding the way in which a performance is produced, from an initial idea through to the final presentation in front of a live audience, and provides the reader with the tools and understanding they need for a successful semiotic analysis of live performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57399512727934,"sku":"NW9781350372658","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781350372658.jpg?v=1778600800","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/semiotics-of-performances","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
