Abstract

Research with Prof.a Dra Josette Féral at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3To examine the tensions between the work of the actor and the work of the performer: that was the starting point of this research. After elaborating through collected materials and lived experiences, I have nowadays as an objective deepening further my investigations on the tensions referred to above, and in this respect I realize that a dialogue with an experienced researcher who develops similar researches to my field of study represents a precious opportunity. When reflecting about this possibility, I recognized in the work produced by Professor Josette Féral, one of the most important scholars im my field of knowledge, a promising possibility of dialogue. In fact, her publications, among them "Mise-en-scène et Jeu de L'Acteur "(2 vols). Manage: Lansman, 2002; "Théorie et Pratique du Théâtre". Montpellier: L'Entretemps, 2011; e "Pratiques Performatives: Body Remix". Rennes: Presses Universitaires de Rennes, 2012 - represent palpable evidences in this sense. After contacting Professor Féral and exposing the main aspects of my research as well as my current questions, she manifested immediately her interest in supervising my research abroad which is supposed to occur in the beginning of 2014 in Paris. This possibility represents a unique possibility of deepening my research and develop myself as a scholar-artist. (AU)
