The new book The Trained Experience: Theatre Pedagogies, Meditation Practices, and the Actor’s System of Knowledge by Fabiola Camuti has been published by ArtEZ Press. In this book, Camuti explores how meditation and theatre education come together. She offers new insights for theatre makers, educators, and researchers who are looking for deeper engagement in their work.

Camuti shows how meditative techniques have been part of theatre pedagogies and actor training since the twentieth century. She explores how meditation and spirituality can enrich artistic education. She raises important questions: how can scientific approaches strengthen traditional artistic practices? What does learning and training look like when viewed as a deeply embodied process? And how can we approach theatre pedagogy in a holistic and integrated way?

The book offers not only critical reflections but also practical exercises. This makes it valuable for everyone at ArtEZ who is engaged in art, learning, and research. The Trained Experience opens new perspectives and can provide inspiration in daily practice.

The book is available now in the ArtEZ Press webshop.
