Performer's flow : an insight into the psychological, neuroscientific and theatrical life of the performer

Abstract

What is the performer's work and how does s/he enter in a state of flow? What constitutes the life of the performer? This study strives to bridge the gaps between theatre, psychology and neuroscience in order to understand the mechanisms and elements that make up the theatre performer's profession. As the performer tries to maximise his/her potentialities and enter in a state of flow, this study's implications have the potential to delve into the human being's ability and what it means to be human.
