2.3 Every body: performance’s other bodies

By Anna Fenemore (pp.38-50)

  • Perception is “something we do” (de Guevara) and “a skillful [bodily] activity” (Noë)
    (some body observed , the spectating body)
  • As well as there being some bodies that act, react and behave as singular bodies, these bodies might also simultaneously act as a body of bodies.
    Body as a group – a communal grouping that act and react, or behave as one some of the time.
  • When in action, an individual’s sensorimotor means of surveying action recedes.
