The creative body memory in Covid's time: a participatory pedagogic methodology with site-specific dance and performance in urban places

Ana Moya Pellitero, Guillermo Vidal-Ribas Belil

Summary: Given the social circumstances arising from the COVID-19 health crisis, we developed a participatory pedagogic methodology involving body experimentation and performing arts to explore 'body memory' as a tool for redefining new affective bonds and adaptation processes within urban environments and public spaces. This experimental methodology, addressed to community participation, involves exercises of body movement improvisation, physical theatre techniques and site-specific dance. It aims to facilitate a critical rediscovery of everyday urban experiences inside a 'body-place-community' dialogue.

Passion or profession: the training of theatre directors in South Africa

Emma Durden, Roelof Twijnstra

Summary: This article explores director training in contemporary South Africa. Ten South African theatre directors were individually interviewed to uncover their origins and inspirations for becoming directors. The interviewed directors have different working styles and personal backgrounds, providing a diverse range of profiles that showcase the various skills required by theatre directors. These interviews reflect the somewhat haphazard and fragmented nature of the theatre industry in South Africa. Most of the directors have fallen into directing as a default position due to the necessity of creating their own work as actors or producing their own scripts as writers. This highlights how South African theatre directors are often driven by their own passion rather than formal director training.
