The Body on stage

what do we see? (signifer)
What does it mean?


Nothing comes without a meaning
Always interpret
We interpret someones expressions and body language to help us understand.


How do they feel?


We read his/hers state of mind
An actor shares there experience with the audience


Jacques Copeau a famous theatre practitioner believed in, Theatre = Communication. 


He believed in actors opening their minds and being objective about work to help convey a message. 


I agree with these statements as i know as a performer and an audience member i always look for a background story and i always try think the way the character is thinking to help me understand or re-create the story.
