ABSTRACT This essay considers what viewing performance as an affective encounter—an embodied experience of sensations and intensities—might mean for applied theatre. Using auto-theory, which joins personal narrative with theories of affect, new materialism and post-humanism, we write an affective encounter that catches up people and objects in relations of resonance. Specifically, we write how a caravan

Where’s the passion? Or, feelings are facts, and forms Research in Drama Education: The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance (IF 0.294) Pub Date : 2020-08-06 Annalaura Alifuoco
ABSTRACT Within the framework of performance, affects have largely been invoked to explain embodied visceral responses to texts. What I propose here instead is to introduce the dimension of affect as a matter of form (Brinkema [2014]. The Forms of the Affects. Durham, NC: Duke University Press). In other words, the formal composition of performance is itself the result of the work of affects. To demonstrate
