Abstract

This article analyses the aspects of theatre practice and theory dealing with body in space, or a theatrical space ‘constructed in relation to the actor’. It examines both the position of actor’s body with regards to a fictional space and an interaction between the stage and the audience using the example of Michael Chekhov’s notion of atmosphere — a sensory medium ‘that permeate[s] environments and Radiate[s] from people’. Atmosphere is a multi-layered text based on the anthropological, architectural, and emotional types of human relationships. It is both the Actor / Character / Spectator communication and the employment of theatre space as sign. Therefore, atmosphere is a dynamic process defining the aesthetic reading of a performance.
