This book remedies that, offering a unique focus on 'rhythmanalysis', bringing distinctive and insightful attention to rhythm as permeating key areas of performance process. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy focusing on recent work from these three major companies, the book provides a glimpse into each company's latest devising processes, enriched by scholarly and archival research, while personal interviews give voice to performers often absent in performance analysis and criticism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough its theoretical and practical offerings, this book brings greater understanding by putting forth a simplified model that can be applied to both interdisciplinary practices and theoretical analysis. The reader gains not only a greater understanding of rhythm in contemporary performance, but also significant insights into the working methods of each company.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSebastian Samur\u003c\/b\u003e is a multilingual performer and postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto's Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies, Canada.
