Crossing Cultural Borders Through the Actor's Work: Foreign Bodies of Knowledge redirects the intercultural debate by privileging the actor's creative process. Original interviews illuminate how the intersection of technique, memory, and imagination manifests in actor training and intercultural performance. Ultimately, this study reassesses the meanings of intercultural embodiment onstage.
