<p>Embodied Acting is a crucial pragmatic intervention in the study of how neuroscience can be applied to theatre studies.

The result is an elegant blend of theory practice and cutting-edge science making a compelling case for discarding once and for all notions of a mind-body separation having any relevance to contemporary actor training.</p>
