Answer 1

Answer:

Human beings embody, express, process, inhibit, function, act, feel. All the verbs I just listed, along with many more, have as their sources the essential parts of what constitutes a human: body, mind, emotion, and behavior. In his dissertation, Kemp (2008) states that cognitive science acknowledges the central role of the body and enables a better understanding of understand the relationship between thought and expression (p. 20). Acting, on the other hand, does not explain the body-mind-soul relationship, but rather provides the richest material for exploration of and experimentation with human emotions. How does theatrical performance/activity conceptually relate to the cognitive science and affective neuroscience? The main things that both disciplines share is the idea of duality of the human nature. Are the emotions manifested through the body, or is the body producing emotions as integral parts of its purpose? Following the same logic, the acting traditions argue: can the physical work stimulate imagination to the point that the actor lives through the emotions of the character, or does the psychological approach to acting guarantee deep understanding and therefore meaningful expression? Kemp (2008) proposes that “the two approaches are in fact representative of positions on a continuum, rather than being mutually exclusive or necessarily oppositional. The empirically based concept of the embodied mind provides a foundation that explains the effectiveness of approaches to training and rehearsal that consciously link physicality and environment in the expression of meaning” (p . 24).
