Abstract

In this article I will focus on embodied simulation, theory developed by Vittorio Gallese, in the network of interaction of actors in the context of theater. The base of this article is experiences of actors and how they think or feel about embodied simulation in their work. I will contemplate how relationship between actor and actor can be seen from embodied simulation point of view. In the essence of embodied simulation theory there is mirror neuron system which can help people to understand others especially in the network of interaction in the theater. Embodied simulation operates pre-reflective phase before cognitive process activates. It facilitates to develop “we centric space” between actors and could be the first step towards experiencing embodied empathy.
