"Time and Performer Training addresses the importance and centrality of time and temporality to the practices, processes, and conceptual thinking of performer training. Notions of time are embedded in almost every aspect of performer training, and so contributors to this book look at: - age/aging and children in the training context - how training impacts over a lifetime - the duration of training and the impact of training regimes over time - concepts of timing and the 'right' time - how time is viewed from a range of international training perspectives - collectives, ensembles and fashions in training, their decay, or endurance.
