  • More about Performance/Art: The Venetian Lectures

Performance/Art explores the phenomenology of skilled performance, drawing on ideas from enactivist embodied cognition to suggest ways to make it more complex and dynamic. It also explicates the notion of an empathic mindfulness in performance and develops the idea of a double attunement to explain aesthetic experience.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 162 pages
Publication date: 28 December 2021
Publisher: Mimesis International


Performance/Art delves into the intricate realm of skilled performance, encompassing a vast spectrum of disciplines, from athletics to the performing arts, including music, dance, and acting. In his comprehensive review, Gallagher examines a diverse range of studies that explore the varying degrees of mindful awareness at play in performance. Building upon the concept of a meshed architecture, he proposes innovative approaches to enhance its complexity and dynamism. Gallagher draws inspiration from enactivist embodied cognition, which emphasizes the meaningful and intelligent nature of different types of movement. He further elucidates the notion of an empathic mindfulness in performance, fostering a deeper understanding of aesthetic experience. Additionally, he develops the concept of a double attunement to explain the unique perspective of the performer and the observer/audience, distinguishing between the two.
