Performance and Cognition
Dramatic structures and strategies are present in all levels of communication.
Areas of activity
Studies on presence for better performativity
A line of research related to the tension between organicity and artificiality.
Decision-making in creative environments
A broader understanding of compositional and improvisation processes in the performative arts and, consequently, of the complexity of the human mind, taking into account the dynamic character of multimodal communication.
Archaeology of the Portuguese art of performance and performativity in the arts
Digital documents and archives on the performative arts in a world of mediations and “artivism”.
NOVA FCSH, home to ICNOVA, pioneered this approach when it created, in 1993, the subject Theories of Drama and Performance and, in 2008, a Master’s in Performing Arts. Since then, our research has been developing ever stronger links with education, new methodologies and approaches.
