{"product_id":"performing-arts-and-therapeutic-implications-9780415710114","title":"Performing Arts and Therapeutic Implications","description":"\u003cp\u003ePresenting an alternative perspective, this book proposes that performing arts forge an emotional bond between the performer and the audience, making the act of performance a therapeutic and restorative experience, and not merely recreational.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudying the life-experiences of six artists, and their unique engagement with three art forms -- music, drama and dance -- the book highlights the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual effects of performing arts both on the performers and the audience. More importantly, it takes the current understanding of the therapeutic role of arts beyond a deficit model of health that focuses on their use in curing illnesses, disabilities and imbalances, towards a more positive growth-centric model that relates them to promoting holistic mental health, well-being and happiness. It thus bridges the gap between the theoretical understanding of creative arts therapy and the practical experience of performing arts in non-therapeutic settings. Further, it assumes increasing relevance with respect to fast-changing lifestyles to which stress and ill-health are often attributed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will appeal to artists, educators and researchers of performing arts, applied psychology, counselling and therapy, and cultural studies, as well as interested general readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tanvi Bajaj,Swasti Shrimali Vohra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.70w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415710114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTanvi Bajaj\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Bharatnatyam dancer and is currently studying to become a Certified Movement Analyst in New York, US.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSwasti Shrimali Vohra is Associate Professor, Department of Applied Psychology, University of Delhi, India. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Routledge India","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45236457046131,"sku":"9780415710114","price":353.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_52cf587d-f532-47fc-b1cc-8e410548d96f.jpg?v=1784027411","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/performing-arts-and-therapeutic-implications-9780415710114","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
