Annotation:
	Offers analysis of embodied poetic discourse, suggesting three phases for "acting interpreters": 1. "top-down (from mind to text)"; 2. "bottom-up (from text to mind)"; and 3. interactive, combining the two to create "new, original, and entirely subjective verse drama embodiments." Drawing on examples of King Lear, shows value of having actors undertake creative writing about the play and participate in a "physical-theatre workshop" focusing on, for instance, psychological gestures and physical memory. Turns to production reports to show the value of having actors consider meter and punctuation. English summary, 221.
