Description
Summary:In other words we could describe and analyse the types of acting and methods of staging, ie how they have arisen. [...]this article offers one possible, systematic way in which to describe the passage from everyday life to theatrical events, with the help of Johan Huizinga's game theory. [...]it covers pure representation8 without reduction of consequence or contest, for example installations - although these could be regarded as a liminal area in the context of scenic sequences. [...]Huizinga's definition covers purely playful 'contests' that are in no way emphasised, for example plays on language, educational play, games of chance, card games, board games or other similar types of play. [...]perspective drawing made by hand in the creation of a work of art, secondly the observer watching at the moment where interaction disappears, and thirdly the point at which the image is made material, as in photography or in the médiatisation of scenic sequences (see section 5).
