the theatre of Marina Carr and contemporary psychology
"The Art of Experience provides an interdisciplinary analysis of selected plays from Ireland's premier female playwright, Marina Carr. Dagmara Gizło explores the transformative impact of a theatrical experience in which interdisciplinary boundaries must be crossed. This book demonstrates that theatre is therapeutic, and therapy is theatrical. The role of emotions, cognitions and empathy in the theatrical experience are investigated throughout. Marina Carr's plays utilise the methodological tools stemming from modern empirically grounded psychology (such as cognitive-behavioural therapy or CBT) to the study of theatre's transformative potential. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of theatre, performance and literature, and will be a fascinating read for those at the intersection of cognitive studies and the humanities"--
