Inter-Acciones Escénicas

Abstract

From the convergence, interdisciplinarity, and complementarity that exists between contemporary dance and theater, we covered the technique of physical actions through a holistic research field, to find a methodological route that would facilitate the understanding of the technique and enhance the creative work of the scenic artist, energizing the body and imagination. For the development of this research, over four months, a laboratory workshop was conducted, divided into four sub-workshops, with actors and dancers where we used the figure of observer-participant as the leading role in the development of the workshop, elaborated with techniques of theater and dance authors such as Michael Chekhov, Jerzy Grotowski, Pina Bausch, Steve Paxton, Rudolf von Laban, among others for the construction of the right path in this process. Among the techniques used in the workshop were: contact improv, theatrical games, work on score and object, choreographic sequences, Laban's cube, and relationship work. This resulted in the comprehension, understanding, management, and integral development of the technique of physical actions, from a new interdisciplinary methodological route called staged inter-actions, which enhanced the performance and work on stage. That is why we consider ours a great success and a new way of facing the job since its effectiveness lies in finding routes and ways of understanding that detach the technique of physical actions from a single discipline or scenic artist.
