ABSTRACT
It is quite common to differentiate between a bodily movement in space and an imagined movement. Just as common is the assumption that it is not so much the physical movement in and through the space that sets the imagination in motion but the static and fixed position of the observer. In a cafeteria, a waiting room, from a train window, or any similar place we are in a position to observe from a fixed—if not entirely motionless—place how others move in the space and imagine that and how others and even we ourselves might move in it. Such a situation seems to come close to the “classical” situation in theatre.
