These anatomical case-studies are cross-referenced with other disciplines (such as sport, high diving, deep diving and artisan craft) to further expand our understanding of performance. Stand-alone chapters, ideal for reference, build towards an overall conclusion that the uniquely human practice of training is emerging as a new and pervasive ideology globally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdeal for readers seeking to understand the relationship the body has with the theatre and training, or for teachers looking for a new, innovative approach to performance, \u003ci\u003eAnatomy of Performance Training\u003c\/i\u003e is an accessible, original contribution to the philosophy of training for performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46359567663255,"sku":"9789389391749","price":423.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789389391749.webp?v=1769306222","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/anatomy-of-performance-training-9789389391749","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
