Human Theatre
Somatic Presence in Performance Pratice
Human Theatre and Energetic Alchemy explores a somatic, energetic approach to performance that reclaims the body as a site of presence, transformation, and truth. Bridging personal experience, global performance traditions, and embodied theory, Richard MartÃnez proposes the concept of Human Theatre—a practice rooted in energetic awareness, emotional integrity, and the alchemical power of the performer. Drawing from sources as diverse as Aristotle’s Poetics, Zeami’s aesthetics, Bioenergetics, Lessac’s kinesensics, and non-Western performance lineages, the book offers a dynamic framework that is both deeply philosophical and practically applicable. Illustrated with movement scores, conceptual diagrams, and reflective tools, it invites actors, educators, therapists, and creators to engage the body not as an instrument of form, but as a conduit of energetic presence and healing.
