The Dramaturgy of Time as a Factor in Creating Spaces of Relationality, Wonder and Attunement

Peripatetic lecture

TO)pot 25 programme Cense Symposium Lecture recording

This lecture addresses time as a key dramaturgical category in the creation of spaces of perception, wonder and attunement. The authors approach temporality as an active agent that structures experience, opens possibilities for alternative modes of attention, and enables the emergence of relational and sensitive spaces between participants, environment and the event itself.
