I co-write this article with Dr Goze Saner, based on our experience of designing performer training together in the projects Enactive Interactions and Performer Training Without A Tutor and Becoming Tortoise. These projects are described in my first practice chapter in my thesis BodiesInform. Both projects are discused in this website article here.
Abstract
This article investigates how digital technologies can be used to enhance the relational aspects of performer training. Saner and Robinson reflect on a practice as research project, Enactive Encounters, where they use poor technology and everyday objects to create participatory learning environments. The teacher- student relationship is challenged and transformed into playful interactions between participants through enactive encounters that aim to embody different aspects of specific training practices.
