About: Image theatre

An Entity of Type: topical concept, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Image theatre is a performance technique in which one person, acting as a sculptor, moulds one or more people acting as statues, using only touch and resisting the use of words or mirror-image modelling. The images presented in this form of theatre are a series of still-images or tableauxs that are dynamised (brought to life) via a variety of ways. They could have repetitive sounds and mechanical-like movements designed into them for example, or they could be dynamised by transitioning from one image to the other in a before-during-after style format. The images can be directly clear to the viewer or abstract. The sculptor can also be a statue, and thus mould themselves, or the statues themselves can be invited to sculpt their own ideas and perspectives into the image.

dbo:abstract
  • El teatre imatge o teatre de la imatge és una de les modalitats de teatre social que es caracteritza per l'absència de paraules en la cerca de visibilitat i possibles solucions a conflictes socials i interpersonals, fent participar el públic de manera activa a la peça teatral. Inicialment va ser batejat com a teatre estàtua i en incorporar tècniques més dinàmiques va passar a dir-se "teatre imatge". Stanislavski treballava amb el "gest psicològic", Meyerhold amb la "posició pausa", amb el "joc del'esculptor" i Boal amb el "teatre imatge". Els participants construeixen amb el seu cos quadres estàtics sobre el tema plantejat, ajudant-se amb moviments i accions físiques. Per exemple, un participant pot posar els actors com si fossin estàtues que representen el conflicte, després poden actuar per a resoldre el conflicte o segons com es voldria que succeís segons les propostes del públic i un o més actors pot ser modificat en la seva postura o substituït per un altre participant. El simbolisme permet tractar temes que costa posar en paraules, donat que estimula directament l'imaginari i la irracionalitat. La interpretació depèn de la subjectivitat pròpia de cadascú i en posar-les en comú som conscients que cada persona veu coses diferents. (ca)

Image theatre originated as a form of theatrical protest in the Theatre of the Oppressed created by Augusto Boal in the 1960s. The form increased in popularity within performance studies and broadened in use to become an exercise or game for students of performance learning how to see what they are looking at, in a format that is not constricted to learning lines, didactic explanations or one person's directorial ambitions. Actors do not use words or signs (i.e. nodding) but must instead use their hands to create an image out of another actor's body to communicate an idea, an event, or an emotion. (en)
