Body as vehicle
Original language description
The prevailing line of Czech theatre theory is largely based on reception aesthetics (ZICH, 1931), i.e., theatre performances or performance phenomena in general can only be examined as a spectator. However, my question is: who is the spectator? With my professional training, my perception cannot be the same as that of spectators who are professionals in other fields. That is why we talk about the "expert spectator." However, this label is where all differentiation ends—and the position of the "expert spectator" remains undefined to this day. The central theme of my presentation is the ways in which spectators perceive actors. Specifically, I focus on the spectators' perception of the actor's body as a fundamental means of communication on stage. In this conference paper, I outlined the definition of this position and linked the idea of the expert spectator to Francisco Varela's neurophenomenological training. I expressed the most important views on the physicality of the performer (KOUBOVÁ, SJÖSTRÖM, 2019) and linked them to the issue of casting (COOK, 2016), structural semiotics (ZICH, 1931, ETLÍK, 1999), and the neurophenomenological approach (VARELA, 1996). The presentation of a mosaic of potential representations will enrich the dialogue on performance and acting. // ADAMOVÁ, Marie. Body as vehicle. Conference paper.
