The corporality and the performative power of the actor

ABSTRACT

This article discusses different concepts linked to the notion of body in contemporary western societies from the point of view of French Sociologist-Anthropologist David Le Breton. His concept of body will be related in this essay with perceptions of body and subjectivity by Dance and Performance Studies theorist André Lepecki in his discussion of movement and politics. The present study aims at deepening the reflection of performers and theorists on the actor´s expressive movement training.

Key words:
Body; Actor; Subjectivity; Training; Performance
