Cuerpo, experiencia y performance actoral como vías de conocimiento

Abstract

The research presented here aims to legitimate the value of practice in the performing arts as a means of knowledge. To do this, it relies on theoretical foundations from different disciplinary fields that agree on pointing to the body, experience and performative practice as a mode of experiential, enactive and situated knowledge, that is, knowledge acquired in relation, in a framework. This involves non-verbal communication, empathy and intersubjectivity. In dialogue with embodied cognitive science, the thesis analyses the problems of contemporary theater theory and the implications of the cognitive turn in the production of the performing arts.
