What can theatre reveal about cognition, and what can cognitive science bring to performance? Cook’s scholarship examines this intersection, with particular attention to Shakespeare and contemporary theatre. Her work addresses casting, character, bodies, and the relationships between dramatic texts and performance. Books examine the art and science of casting and how Shakespeare’s stages can represent future possibilities. This research connects literary and theatrical study with questions about the mind, offering an interdisciplinary approach to understanding how performance creates meaning.
