Cuerpo sensible en la experiencia del habitar: una poética de la danza teatro ¿cómo habitar el amarillo?

Abstract

Reflection on the sentient body arises from the need to understand human experience beyond its biological or functional dimensions. The body is not merely a physical structure that allows movement through the world; it is, above all, the space from which reality is perceived, felt, interpreted, and constructed. Inhabiting a corporeality implies recognizing that all experience is mediated by sensations, emotions, memory, and constant interaction with others. In this sense, the sentient body is configured as a territory of meanings where individual and collective experiences converge, giving meaning to existence. From the perspective of the performing arts, and particularly dance theater, this understanding acquires special relevance, since movement becomes a form of knowledge capable of expressing what words cannot communicate. Bodily exploration allows us to reveal stories, affections, and questions that emerge in the interaction between the subject and their environment. Thus, the sentient body is not a distant object of study, but a living experience that invites encounter, dialogue, and the shared construction of meaning. Understanding corporeality, then, involves recognizing that identity and human experience are continually transformed through presence, perception, and relationships with others
