Within these pages he examines the connections between Western and non-Western cultures, theatre and dance, anthropology, ritual, performance in everyday life, rites of passage, play, psychotherapy and shamanism. Richard Schechner examines the connections between western and non-western cultures, the performing arts, anthropology, rituals, performance in everyday life, playing, psychotherapy and shamanism.
