Performances as Cognitive Experiences: Narrative Structures and Relevance
– Some performances are explicit narratives put in plays, dances, music, or mimes. Some other performances are pure displays of artistic skills. Identify narratives that are implicit in performances that are not devised to represent a narrative.
– Explore the relevance both direct and indirect of a performance that you enjoyed. How did it relate to your own life experience or to the socio-political context of your time? Reflect on what triggered your interest and arouse your emotions.
