A poetic and embodied inquiry into performance and perception, Josipa Bubaš’s Physicality of Performance and Performance of Physicality explores how the body creates, carries, and reshapes meaning.
Drawing from philosophy, neuroscience, phenomenology, posthumanism, and lived performance practices (including Butoh and contemporary dance), Bubaš treats the body not as a passive tool but as an intelligent, responsive system—one that produces and is produced by the world around it.
Examining rhythm, breath, and intention, Bubaš leads a penetrating discussion on how performance is a lived process of mutual transformation between self, others, and environment. The book makes a compelling case for the body as a vital site of knowledge, where perception, communication, and identity are constantly formed and reformed. It's a rigorous resource for artists, theorists, and anyone curious about how movement and embodiment shape our ways of being in the world.
