GESTURE IN ACTOR TRAINING: EMBODIED PARTIAL NARRATIVES

Abstract

This paper seeks to integrate research from both cognitive science as well as phenomenology to explore the ways in which gesture and language interact in intentional action. My aim in this research is directed towards actor training and the use of gesture in naturalism. By sharing research from developmental psycholinguists the role of gestures in the training of actors can be examined more closely and it may be possible to elucidate modes within actor-training that enhance subtle and in-depth performed communication Disciplines Arts and Humanities | Law Publication Details Hayes, J.
