Corporal Mimesis: creative observation
Keywords:
Mimesis, Observation, Acting, Poetics, Technique.Abstract
This article examines corporal mimesis, a technique created and developed by LUME Teatro. The objective is to explain how, with this technique, the performer poetically embodies different stimuli that are found in everyday life, be they people, images, voices, sounds, animals, or even texts or monuments. The concepts of mimesis, observation, and affectation, which form the basis of this practice, are discussed. Then, different experiences with corporal mimesis are described. Finally, it is concluded that this technique is an open field for exploring acting, which is found in an intermediate place between creation and training based on the sensorial universe of the artists who develop it.
