Summary
Drawing on recent research in emotion and affect theory—namely on notions developed by William James, Antonio Damasio, Silvan S. Tomkins, and Brian Massumi, among others—this article investigates how theatre directing may advance a laboratory of emotional practice. It thus examines two distinct theatre directorial processes, with corresponding methods of performing emotions onstage, arguing that theatre is an activity and art form that contributes towards the flourishing of life.
