technique/training

A technique is a way to normalize and standardize bodies onstage. Training can be described as a field of exploration, preparation, and transformation. It gives us skills and abilities to perform, but at the same time, it can be a brand or a limit, depending on the interests of every performer. Thus, research through training is, in practice, what Nelson refers to as a dialogue with the situation (2013), as it encourages reflection, autonomy and knowledge incorporation. That knowledge allows decision-making in the subsequent creation process, the rehearsal, and the show.
