dc.description.abstract | This research investigates the practice of fencing by the actor in western theatre and performance, and explores whether fencing can be adapted for use as actor training. The interpretations of the techniques of the sword in the context of the theatre of the West will be discussed to contextualise the different ways fencing has been used in theatre. Attention is given to the pedagogy and training of fencing so that technical differences and similarities to the work of actors can be observed. A discussion of an exercise I designed from fencing supports the analysis. Accordingly, an important aspect of the research is practice-based involving various sessions. Three aspects characterise the research: (1) the elaboration of theoretical parameters which frame the analysis of the sword as actor training, (2) a way of practical work for the actor, and (3) a discussion on the application of this research to the field of performance. | en_GB |
