| Title | DILATED BODY: A CRITICAL READING OF EUGENIO BARBA'S THEORIES AND THEATRE PRACTICE |
| Summary | “Dilated body” is an exploration of Eugenio Barba and Odin Teatret theories and practice through a feminist perspective. By analyzing their trainings, body theories and performances, I try to identify a feminist line of thinking that was not explored so far. This reading is viable in the conditions of a special type of theatrical practice that produced a theoretical standpoint, and a new style of performances is generated from theory. This process is a long term activity that has taken over 40 years and is vastly documented by theatre theoreticians and historians. What is missing from those studies is an interpretation of Odin activities as a possibility for social change in theatre environment, through a break with a traditional way of conceptualizing the body and with a representation of gender roles on stage and in the process of training. My research tries to fill parts of that gap. |
