VIEW PDF: DRAMATIC SPACE AND PERFORMER’S BODY, A CASE STUDY

Mediated images alter the perception of the real, then again, they emphasize themselves in a dynamic manner arising critical attitude, for they compel the spectator to consider all the images entering his/her visual field, and to integrate them into his/her own reference system. As recorded images offer the possibility of simultaneous representation of parts of actors’ bodies, an interaction between virtual images and real / optical images occurs, interaction which, whether demonstrates itself compulsory, acquires a powerful dramatic finality, since the existence of a viable relation between the stage images, either virtual or real, is a sine qua non dramatic condition.

Keywords: performer’s body, degree of presence, subjective reality displacement, field of perception, mixed media performance, media oriented design.
