In our collection, radical cognitive science reaches out to areas of scholarship also explored in the fields of performance practice and training as we facilitate a new inter- and transdisciplinary discourse in which to jointly share and explore common reactions of embodied approaches to the lived mind. The essays originally published as a special issue in Connection Science.

From Activism and Political Philosophy to Cognitive Science and Forensics, each chapter explores the relationships between performance and another discipline.
Including cross-chapter discussions which address the intersections between fields, Performing Interdisciplinarity trulyexamines the making of meaning across disciplinary conventions. This is a volume for performance practitioners and scholars who are living, learning, writing, teaching, making and thinking at the edges of their specialisms.

Its radical new take on performance practice is designed for a climate that increasingly requires fully rounded artists. The book critiques and interrogates key current practices and offers a proven alternative to the idea that rigorous and effective training must separate the disciplines into discrete categories of acting, singing, and dance.

This article argues for the possibility of an 'active aesthetic': recognising that meaning happens in the act of performance rather than in the text or in the construction of intertextual relationships.

Opera is by design interdisciplinary, therefore born from a web of meanings set in motion. From here we can begin to teach singers an active aesthetic rather than a depictive set of rules informed by prejudice.

Throughout the twentieth century his system influenced performance practices in stage, film and television. What is not so commonly acknowledged is that Stanislavsky was passionate about opera.
