thesis: the world is already here. {all the time, with all of its complexity} art / communication is just making pointers to bring attention to certain aspects of it. heard from Steve Paxton in his lecture at Dance Academy Arnhem, Netherlands, 2002 老子 / Laŏ-Tzĭ, motto from the dàodéjīng道德經 / 도덕경 (ca. 400 before Chr.)
ais-thesis ancient Greek: „taking for true“ → perception (today: „aesthetic / esthetic“) body senses → communication seeing, (visual) smell, taste, (chemical) hearing, touch, movement, ... (senses that we have not named yet) all related & anatomically unstable !!
recognition - feedback receiver / recipient result of communication ... sender / expedient contact eXchange dialogue groping . . . … and reaching filling up the created structure with more content
semiotic analysis model 1- syntactic = what is the form? for example: a plate of 8 corners, made of metal, white edge, plane painted red inside, has words STOP in white in the middle 2- semantic = what is the meaning? for the example above: „please stop here!“ 3- sigmatic = relation meaning – form? • icon imitation of... / resemblance for example: image of house, daily gesture >> DEGREE OF ICONICITY (resemblance) • symbol means something else, (needs shared code / language) for example: 한글, red rose for „love“ • index pointer / degree of sth. for example: city-map → STOP SIGN ☺ 4- pragmatic = relation to receiver? • signal from request to order → STOP SIGN ... • symptom communicate a state of existence → social context , (intended) result(s)
for dance: 1- syntactic = what is the form? (e.g. Laban Movement Analysis: body, effort, time, space) movements, gestures, weight-shifts, touch, → phrases, groupings, stagecostume-design etc. who is performing? men, women? etc. 2- semantic = what is the meaning? ..... ☺ 3- sigmatic = relation meaning – form? • icon imitation of... / resemblance daily gesture, exaggerated moves, „abstract“ >> DEGREE OF ICONICITY (resemblance) • symbol means something else, (needs shared code / language) sign language, „OK“ (thumbs up) vocabulary of Asian dance theater styles ... • index pointer / degree of sth. for example: how high is the water-level? 4- pragmatic = relation to receiver? • signal from request to order → STOP SIGN (...) • symptom communicate a state of existence (aahhh....) Physical states…..
also for performance: Six Viewpoints Mary Overlie originator → Anne Bogaert / SiTi Company „languages of theatre“ → postmodern analysis → NO set forms,as still is in traditional archaic theater examine them all separately Space Shape Time Emotion (→ symptom function in Semiotics!) Movement Logic /Narrative (→ semantics...!) →SySTEM(- iN)
Why a postmodern approach...? 老子 / Laŏ-Tzĭ motto from the dàodéjīng道德經 / 도덕경 (ca. 400 before Chr.)
