Bedenleşme ve Enaksiyon Teorilerinin Çağdaş Tiyatro Uygulamalarına Yansımaları: Oyunculuk Eğitiminde Somatik Yaklaşım

Abstract

Yirmi birinci yüzyılda bilişsel bilimler, sinirbilimleri ve fenomenolojinin ortaklığında gelişen enaksiyon teorileri, doğrudan tiyatro ve performans sanatları alanına giren imgelem, algı, duygu, his ve düşünce gibi bilişsel süreçlere ilişkin kavrayışımızı değiştirir. Enaksiyon teorileriyle anlamlandırma süreçlerinde bedensel eylemliliğe yapılan vurgu, kişinin birincil hareket deneyimini anahtar kavram haline getirir. Bu çalışmada da tiyatro ve performans alanında bu kavrayış değişikliğinin izi teorik olarak sürülerek, bedenleşmiş bilinç kavramıtartışmaya açılır. Bu bağlamda hareket deneyimi üzerine öz-gözlemsel bir uygulama alanı olan somatik uygulamaların bedenleşmiş bir deneyimi nasıl sağladığı ve böylelikle oyunculuk eğitimine nasıl katkı sağlayabileceği üzerinde durulur. Özetle, bu makalenin temel amacı bedenleşme teorilerinden kısaca bahsederek olası tartışma alanlarına işaret etmek ve somatik uygulamaların oyunculuk eğitimine nasıl katkı sunabileceğini tartışmaktır.

Reflections of Embodiment and Enaction Theories on Contemporary Theater Practices: Somatic Approach in Acting Training

Abstract

In the 21st century, enaction theories that have emerged as a result of the intersection of neuroscience, cognitive science, and phenomenology have changed our understanding of cognitive processes, such as imagination, perception, feeling, emotion, and thought, which are directly related to theater and performing arts. In enaction theories, the emphasis on bodily action in the process of providing meaning makes one’s primary movement experience a key concept. The study thus traces such theoretical shift in theater and performing arts and discusses the concept of embodied consciousness that expectedly occurs during the performance. Furthermore, based on embodiment theories, the study elucidates how somatic practices provide an embodied experience that facilitates performative awareness and how such practices contribute to actor training. Briefly, the main objectives of this study are to highlight possible discussions and emphasize the contribution of somatic practices in actor training based on embodied theories.
