Construcción del personaje Lira desde cuerpo, sonido y situación: Exploración sensorial y experimental del método Stanislavski

Abstract

The present research aims to analyze and systematize the process of constructing the character “Lira” thru the interplay of body, sound, and situation, by applying the tools of Given Circumstances, Emotional Memory, and Physical Actions from Konstantin Stanislavski’s System. This proposal is structured within the research-creation paradigm in the performing arts, allowing for a contemporary reinterpretation thru an expanded approach to the Stanislavskian method, demonstrating a transformation of its tools, which are formulated thru body-sensory work, enabling the exploration and construction of the character. This perspective moves the character away from being a scenic entity predetermined by the written dramaturgy and instead configures it as a living construct, resulting from the performer’s corporeality, the soundscape (live and/or prerecorded), and the situational conditions of the scene. This allows us to view the construction of the character “Lira” from an interdisciplinary perspective grounded in sensory experiences in dialog with technical tools, presenting a female figure trapped in the anguish of musical creation, whose methodology demonstrates the potential of the Stanislavski system to operate in non-textual dimensions. Finally, as a result of the process, the work “I Thot of a Creative Title, but I Forgot” It is produced, in which the scene is explored thru the integration of live sound, silence, lighting, body, and object, collectively directed thru improvisation and an investigation into the meaning of the proposed sensory dramaturgy.
