Robert Wilson is an AmericanEuropean director who is also a performer, installation artist, writer, designer of light and much more besides a crossover polymath who dissolves both generic and geographical boundaries and is a precursor of globalisation in the arts. This second edition of Robert Wilson combines:











an analysis of his main productions, situated in their American and European socio-cultural and political contexts





a focused, detailed study of Wilsons pathbreaking Einstein on the Beach





a study of Pushkin's Fairy Tales as the foremost example of his folk-rock music theatre in the twenty-first century





an exploration of his visual book, workshop and rehearsal methods, and collaborative procedures





a study of his aesthetic principles and the elements of composition that distinguish his directorial approach





a series of practical exercises for students and practitioners highlighting Wilsons technique.

As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners offer unbeatable value for todays student.
