Liveness is a pivotal issue for performance theorists and artists.
As live art covers both embodiment and disembodiment, many scholars
have emphasized the former and interpreted the latter as the
opposite side of liveness. In this book, the author demonstrates
that disembodiment is also an inextricable part of liveness and
presence in performance from both practical and theoretical
perspectives. By applying phenomenological theory to live
performance, the author investigates the possible realisation of
aesthetic dynamics in live art via re-engagement with the notions
of embodiment, especially in the sense provided by philosophers
such as Gabriel Marcel and Morris Merleau-Ponty. Creative practices
from leading performance artists such as Franko B, Ron Athey,
Manuel Vason and others, as well as experimental ensembles such as
Goat Island, La Pocha Nostra, Forced Entertainment and the New
Youth are discussed, offering a new perspective to re-frame
human-human relationships such as the one between actor and
spectator and collaborations in live genres In addition, the author
presents a new interpretation model for the human-material in live
genres, helping to bridge the aesthetic gaps between performance
art and experimental theatre and providing an ecological paradigm
for performance art, experimental theatre and live art.
