<b>Book launch</b></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Join us this Friday to launch and celebrate the new edited collection, <i>Collaborative Embodied Performance: ecologies of skill
</i>(Bloomsbury/ Methuen).</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;margin-left:36.0pt">
<i>This book is about joint intelligence in action. It brings together scholarship in performance studies, cognitive science, sociology, literature, anthropology, psychology, architecture, philosophy and sport science to ask how tightly knit collaboration works.
Contributors apply innovative methodologies to detailed case studies of martial arts, social interaction, freediving, site-specific artworks, Body Weather, human-AI music composition, Front-of-House at Shakespeare’s Globe, acrobatics and failing at handstands.
In each investigation, performance and theory are mutually revealing, informative and captivating.</i></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
The book’s editors, John Sutton (Philosophy and Cognitive Science, Macquarie University) and proud TaPS alumna Kath Bicknell (Anthropology, Macquarie University) discuss the process of bringing the book to fruition and the challenges and triumphs of transdisciplinary
research. </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Look forward to conversations, short movies, and immersive or slightly quirky chapter introductions by contributors and commentators, including Ian Maxwell, who was instrumental in the earlier developmental phases of the book and wrote one of the afterwords.
Hear about productive, curious overlaps between cognitive science and performance studies, and insights into methodical approaches for studying a range of performance practices and processes, from Kristina Brümmer, Amy Cook, Greg Downey, Sara Kim Hjortborg,
Joel Krueger, Sarah Pini, Susanne Ravn, Mike Richardson, Tom Roberts, Lyn Tribble, and more – and Q and A time for live and zoom participants.</p>

<b>John Sutton</b>’s research addresses memory and skill, across the cognitive sciences and the humanities. He is the author of
<i>Philosophy and Memory Traces: Descartes to Connectionism </i>(1998), and he has coedited three previous books –
<i>Descartes’ Natural Philosophy</i>, <i>Embodied Cognition in Shakespeare’s Theatre
</i>and <i>Collaborative Remembering</i>. He seeks to integrate conceptual, experimental and ethnographic methods, and has published on memory and skill not only in philosophy and cognitive science, but also in archaeology, film, history, linguistics, literature,
music, psychology and sport science. He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities, and past President of the Australasian Society for Philosophy and Psychology.</p>

<b>Kath Bicknell</b>’s research investigates the relations between thinking, doing, performance and training. Her recent work has examined embodied cognitive processes in high-pressure scenarios like racing bikes down rock gardens in the jungle, training at
height on the trapeze and navigating the day-to-day challenges of life while recovering from chronic pain. With research and teaching experience in Performance Studies (University of Sydney and the National Institute of Dramatic Art), Cognitive Science (Macquarie
University) and Anthropology (Macquarie University) her work bridges the humanities and the sciences. Kath has worked as a freelance media professional since 2008 and is internationally recognised for her multiplatform work on cycling.
