The Art of Resonance

What is artistic resonance and how can it be linked to one's life and one's art? This latest collection of essays from legendary theatre director Anne Bogart considers the creation of resonance in the artistic endeavor, with a focus on the performing arts. The word "resonance" comes from the Latin meaning to "re-sound" or "sound together." From music to physics, resonance is a common thread that evokes a response and, in general, is understood as a quality that makes something personally meaningful and valuable. Woven with person anecdotes, stories, and reflections, this is a book that will be of interest to any theatre artist and anyone who reflects on the power of the arts, of theatre-making, and what it means to be engaged in the artistic process. -- Cover page 4.
