At a Standstill, Moving: Gesture, Temporality and the Interval in Performance<\/em> by Rebecca Schneider, Professor of Theatre Arts and Performance Studies, situates the importance of gesture within a wide range of performances. From the vibrancy of opera to the seeming standstill of stone, Schneider\u2019s project offers a non-linear reading experience while focusing on the significance of the interval in order to explore multiple and intersecting temporalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With continued support\nfrom the Andrew W.

These\nscholarly works are then submitted to leading university presses that have\ncorresponding academic interests and the infrastructure for peer review and\ndigital publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
