    CHE Workshop: IBaroque Gesture: What's the Point?

    Andrew Lawrence-King - Senior Visiting Research Fellow, ARC Centre for the History of Emotions

     

    The participants in this Workshop were advanced students (most of them Early Music specialists) and Professorial staff of ESMUC, many of them involved with the School's forthcoming production of Monteverdi's Orfeo directed by Prof Xavier Diaz LaTorre.

    AN EXPLORER'S GUIDE TO HISTORICAL ACTION

     

    1. Contraposto:  stand diagonally on, weight on one foot

    2. Gesture with the Right Hand (hold any music in the left)

    3. Create a mental Vision of the words you are saying

    4. Point at what you 'see' in this Vision

    5. Use specific gestures for particular words

    6. Otherwise use Default Gesture

    7. Allow the affetto of the words to enter your gesture

    8. Root gestures through the body and into the floor

    INTRODUCTIONS

     

    FLOW & THE ZONE

     

    1. Flow (aka The Zone) is that optimal state of concentration & relaxation

    2. Flow is an Altered State of Consciousness for optimal learning: The Zone is an Altered State of Consciousness for high performance

    3. Flow & The Zone are associated with Time Distortion in Hypnosis.

     

    HYPNOTISM

     

    1. Dreaming is associated with the REM-state of sleep

    2. About 40,000 years ago, humans evolved to access the REM-state whilst waking, in day-dreams, trance etc

    3. Trance is a naturally-occuring state that we experience every day

     

    THE FIRST OPERAS

     

    1. Circa 1600, performers moved their audiences' passions by means of what we would now call Hypnotism

    2. Of course, every fine performer enchants their audience...

    3. But ALK's research shows precisely how the magic works

     

    FLOW, HYPNOTISM & THE FIRST OPERAS

     

    1. Hypnotism is (usually) a mutual, consensual process

    2. Whilst the audience suspend their disbelief and become entranced, in Flow... 

    3. The performer enters a complementary state, The Zone.
