Abstract
In this article Tomaž Krpič discusses two specific types of creative theatregoer: the theatre researcher and the theatre reviewer (researcher/reviewer). He stresses the influence of the theatre researcher’s/reviewer’s bodily presence in the theatre on the results of their professional work: the scholarly article and the review. Becoming a researcher or a reviewer involves going through a long complex process of personal embodiment to gain the skills associated with the learning, participative, and writing body to achieve and to maintain specific theatre bodily habitus, the physical and cultural capital necessary for fulfilling the roles of the researcher/reviewer. Tomaž Krpič is a sociologist of the body in performance studies, particularly in the spectator’s body in postdramatic theatre. He has published widely on various social, political, and cultural aspects of theatre and art performance. He is a member of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Ljubljana University.
