The Third Space: Body, Voice, and Imagination

Robert Lewis’s approach is a way of working that unlocks the imagination as well as connecting performers to self, space, and imagination, through voice and body. It conditions, controls, and engages performers by integrating various voice and movement practices.

The theories and practice are balanced throughout by:

• introducing the practical works theoretical underpinnings through research, related work, and case studies of performances;
• demonstrating a full program of exercises that helps performers get in touch with their centre, their space, and shape both within and outside the body; and
• exploring the performers physiovocal instrument and its connection with imagination, energies, and dynamics.

This book is the result of nearly 20 years of research and practice working with voice and movement practitioners across the globe to develop training that produces performers that are physiovocally ready to work in theatre, screen, and emergent technologies.
