Abstract
Abstract: Despite a lifetime of embodied knowledge that has been acquired through theatre, dance, and athletics, I discovered a contrast between the value and trust placed on the body in performance versus the value of embodied knowledge in medical care. In analyzing experiences of Long COVID as a theatre practitioner and scholar, I illustrate how foundational awareness of the body is often dismissed when seeking medical care for this new chronic illness, which is a radically different experience from how we highly prioritize the body and awareness of it in performance technique and training. This essay explains how Long COVID has reshaped how I teach, practice theatre, advocate for Long COVID and COVID-19 mitigations, and live.
摘要:尽管我一生都在通过戏剧、舞蹈和体育获得身体知识,但我发现表演中对身体的重视和信任与医疗护理中对身体知识的重视形成了鲜明对比。作为一名戏剧从业者和学者,在分析 Long COVID 的经历时,我说明了在为这种新型慢性疾病寻求医疗服务时,对身体的基本认识是如何经常被忽视的,这与我们在表演技巧和训练中如何高度重视身体和对身体的认识截然不同。这篇文章解释了长COVID如何重塑了我的教学、戏剧实践、倡导长COVID和COVID-19缓解以及生活方式。
