Abstract

Before we discuss prominent approaches to emotional expressivity in performance, we should introduce the very concept of emotion as it is understood in psychology, together with some remarks on neurological correlates to emotion.

The emotional virus lives and thrives in the gap between expectations and perceived reality.

Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer
