El objeto como generador de secuencias de acciones físicas en el proceso de creación de los personajes “Medias y Saco” en el ejercicio escénico “Pertenencias”

Abstract

The interest in this research has a relationship with the object and body of the performer for the creation of the character. As a guide of exploration, concepts like “thingness” resurface, encasing live objects, according to Shaday Larios, defined as denaturalization of an object that fulfills the only purpose it was created for. However, the concept amplifies itself in practice, placing the object and subject in relation with a mutual manipulation, where the object is above the subject, thus taking possession over it, leaving an imprint by means of movement and stillness, but overall generating a bodily structure. To provide life and rhythm to the structure left by the object, the performer personifies another body, with different qualities of movement proposed by Rudolf Laban. The author’ empirical concepts analyses movement from fractal connections of the body, effort, weight, direction, form and space, from individual Kinesphere. To supplement the exploration of the character we think about the psychophysical element proposed by Michael Chejov, from imagination, rooted in the image of the object bestowed to the body. In Order to generate a sequence of movement in practice we use the tool of Ideokineses, a concept brought on by Dance, which intends to draft movement on the body, using external information, in this case, from the object. By observing the movement, we add sound taken from the object, and transform it into voice for the character. The performers who have experienced such process come together to evoke characters in a Mise en Scene.
