Your performce and pleasing the other part of your self




  • Turner, in The Anthropology of Performance (1988) points out that theatrical luminaries such as Schechner, Chaikin, Brook, and others emphasises the voluntary discipline required and the need for frames to establish the playing space for performance. It is in the crossing of these frames, or thresholds of experience, which are of particular significance for the performer. For it is in the crossing of these liminal zones important elements of ritual as in rites of passage and play are retrieved. In performance, the performer having crossed boundaries, can feel himself stretched artistically thereby achieving an objective to please that ‘other’ part of the self. But what of this ‘self’ who does the performing?
