John Freeman - Blood, Sweat & Theory: Research Through Practice in Performance

I n the first instance, thanks to Paul Jervis, Celia Cozens and Matt Skipper for their commitment and continued professionalism in the face of more problems than this page could contain.

This book would be no book at all without the expert contributions of Hala Al-Yamani, Annette Arlander, Johannes Birringer, Elena Cologni, Robert Germay, Helka-Maria Kinnunen, Yves Knockaert, Lee Miller, Felix Nobis, Allan Owens, Helen Paris, Yoni Prior, Leena Rouhiainen and Joanne Bob Whalley. Their generosity in the sharing of views, experiences and insights is greatly appreciated.

Any acknowledgements would be incomplete without thanking my colleagues and students for the conversations, performances and assorted creative energies that make working at Brunel University the experience that it is. Similarly, work seen during the writing of this book, up to and including the incredible Isabellas Room by Jan Lauwers and Needcompany, has served as a reminder that when it all comes together, performance can still stir the blood, the spirit and the brain like nothing else on earth.
