Space-Body-Ritual : Performativity in the City

Reena Tiwari

....relationship between space, body, and ritual. The space, both public and private, is not seen as something exterior to the body, but becomes an integral part of the performing body.

"The sensory space is the perceived space. Mental space, or the space imagined, is conceived space. These two moments of space are reconciled by living space through the body and that is when the embedded social dimensions are rendered visible."

When the flow of activity occurs repeatedly or ritulaistically, the space starts to become delineated or defined and can be termed as a space of practice... The space begins to be identified by that activity. It aquires a quality firstly due to its physical elements, secondly through the ritualized actions occuring in it, and thirdly, through the way the active body responds to it.
