Description
The Poetics of Performance Diagrams by Andrej Mirčev explores the role of diagrams in theatre and dance, examining their historical, epistemic, and aesthetic functions. This Element considers how diagrams can be applied to performance-making, analysis, and documentation, offering new tools for theory, practice, and archiving.
Mirčev argues that diagrams provide a way to cut through representation and dichotomies, highlighting the visual, corporeal, and spatial dimensions of performance-making. By examining various examples, including architectural models, woodcuts, and choreography, this book elucidates the significance of diagrammatic thinking for performance studies.
