Jaime Dorner
I am a professional actor, director, and researcher - PhD in Theatre and Performance. My work possesses a strong physical component, constantly seeking to physically embody script, emotions and images on stage. My curiosity as a practitioner constantly leads me to question the craft of producing theatre, what the purpose of theatre is and how effective theatre can be. So far I believe theatre to be a trigger and a provocateur of emotional/intellectual processes.
The heart of my work is the creation of evocative and provocative images rather than a coherent lineal narrative; in this respect, collaboration with designers, filmmakers, visual artists and musicians is fundamental. The main focus of my interest is biographical material, ritual and catharsis and the way in which these concepts interrelate to affect the audience – in other words I like the idea of using my own biography and memories as a bridge to reach the audience in the particular experience that we call theatre.
