Abstract:
|
Nowadays we are living in a fluid geo-politic landscape, the
emergence arts and educational movements are playing
between material and immaterial, this can be read as a
symptom of unstable situation. Consciousness and perception
of reality are related to internal and external factors as the sum
of collective and social interactions. On the other hand,
awareness and consciousness have an epicentre through our
body as internal milieu or interoception and from outside/inside
as proprioception, the awareness of body in space. The ancient
Aristotle's peripatetic School and the context of Zen Buddhism
highlighted the senses and the experimental knowledge as the
first important tool in order to cultivate intellect. We might
assume that each of us perceive the world differently according
to the culture where we live in. To be able to perceive again we
need, as Ivan Illich suggested in 1971 in "Deschooling
Society", de-institutionalize the society and perhaps the first
step could be de-institutionalizing education. The article will
describe an experimental blend between physical theatre and
design education in a non-tactile society (Thailand). Moreover
the article will explore and underline how a physical theatre
approach could be an important stimulus for a product design
education especially in Southeast-Asia.
