Abstract

We have already made systematization of Gavella’s theory in 2001. However, the main reason for having renewed research adventure, was the need to demonstrate operability of Gavella’s theoretical concepts in the context of some recent interdisciplinary insights into performance phenomenon. This paper analyses correlative terms connected to the concept of space in Gavella’s phenomenology of acting. The main task is to propose a typology of space in Gavella’s theoretical system. The core of this paper deals with space concepts in language: Gavella’s »speech situations«, and the dynamism of exchange on the relational space of culture. Regarding this issue, we have also touched the topic of conceptual space models in phonetics pointing to their importance in the context of Gavella’s pedagogical treatment of voice in acting. Finally, the stimulus is found in Gavella’s analysis of the functionality and inherent dynamism of the stage space and the architecture of theatre buildings.
