Abstract

This text is based on some notions of the actor presence, aiming to discuss this quality of being and the effect of presence. It discusses the status of presence in theatre, between actors and spectators, in the here an now, live, and questions the fact that not all actors on a stage have presence. This paper addresses presence as a quality of the actor, not as constant or as something we learn and reproduce. Thus, we discuss different notions like extra-daily body, dilated body, inner action, being in the present, among others.
