Yet there is limited collaborative work describing clearly articulated choreographic methods and compositional practices for future artists and scientists. We propose Neurochoreography as a choreographic process through which neuroscientific concepts, research designs, or findings are translated into compositional structures, rehearsal practices, and performance conditions. Neurochoreography treats live performance as a site of knowledge transfer and embodied translation between domains, so that choreographic decisions function as explicit experimental factors while preserving artistic aims. Through engaging ecologically valid investigations into formative neuroscientific questions, Neurochoreography may provide novel source material for dance artists to approach the human mind. We suggest Neurochoreography as an example of inter-field dialogue between scientific outreach and artistic output that balances between neuroscience's emphasis on objective, quantifiable measures and performance's commitment to subjective, embodied experience.","PeriodicalId":45870,"journal":{"name":"Empirical Studies of the Arts","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148612506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite these similarities, opera and musical theatre are often considered distinct in pedagogical, technical, and marketing perspectives. In psychological research on the arts and aesthetics, both opera and musical theatre performance are not only under studied, but have not been well theorized, either as distinct or linked art forms. Therefore, this paper presents an exploratory qualitative study of semi-structured interviews with six professional musical theatre and six professional opera performers with the aim of exploring the psychological outcomes different kinds of theatrical singers’ experience. Performers were asked how they approach and describe their craft and how they view the priority of different technical and psychological elements of their craft. Through a thematic analysis, two main themes emerged: Acting Habits of Mind (AHoM), and Artistic Boundaries between performer and character. While the extant AHoM Framework consists of eight different skills associated with learning to perform in straight (i.e., non-musical) theatre, both types of performers discussed using seven of the eight original AHoM, plus an additional emergent theme of “openness to continued learning” in their rehearsal and performance practices. Next, all performers discussed the importance of drawing on their own experiences while still holding emotional distance from characters they portray. The psychology underlying how musical theater and opera performers rehearse and perform may be more alike than different. Future research may thus consider these two contexts as psychologically similar, despite technical and genre-specific differences.","PeriodicalId":45870,"journal":{"name":"Empirical Studies of the Arts","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148552781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Musical interpretation styles may emphasize these entities. The current study analysed historically informed performances of four Chopin pieces that highlighted singing qualities (i.e., cantilena) and included more rubato compared with conventional interpretations of the same music that placed more emphasis on virtuosity. In a recognition task, listeners selected one of three structural motives that best matched the original piece. The historically informed cantilena style resulted in higher judgments of the Gestalt dimension “Praegnanz” (well-formedness), and predicted recognition for one out of the four excerpts in a binominal logistic regression. While the cantilena interpretation was slightly slower and included more tempo variation, virtuosity ratings did not differ from the conventional style. Depending on the composition and on participants’ experience, historically informed interpretation styles may thus influence memory for musical motives and the perception of Gestalt qualities.","PeriodicalId":45870,"journal":{"name":"Empirical Studies of the Arts","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148416750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exploratory factor analysis revealed two latent constructs – Authorial Meaning Integration (symbolic saturation, narrative integration, emotional expressiveness, authorial presence, aesthetic intentionality) and Harmony of Stylistic Form (stylistic coherence, aesthetic orientation) – explaining 72.7% of total variance. The results indicate that youth artistic creativity is organized around interrelated but distinguishable meaning-oriented and stylistic-formal dimensions, rather than a single undifferentiated construct. The prominence of meaning integration highlights the central role of symbolic, narrative, and emotional processes in youth artistic expression, while stylistic harmony reflects the developing organization of formal and perceptual aspects of visual work. Together, the findings provide an empirically grounded and developmentally sensitive framework for understanding youth artistic creativity, emphasizing the dynamic interplay between meaning-making and stylistic organization in visual expression.","PeriodicalId":45870,"journal":{"name":"Empirical Studies of the Arts","volume":"24 3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148285628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is motivated by contradictory findings regarding how narrative voice influences readers’ emotional and cognitive responses to literary texts, as well as the question of whether audiobooks condition the impact of narrative voice. In an experiment, participants engaged with a novella with first- or third-person narration presented in either written or audiobook format. Although the results indicate that narrative voice does not affect social emotions, listening to an audiobook reduced self-oriented emotions, such as empathic stress and emotional involvement, relative to reading print. No significant effects were observed for all other subdimensions related to empathy, identification, and parasocial interaction. It thus appears that by introducing an audiobook performance as a layer of distance, participants were prevented from experiencing strong self-oriented emotions.","PeriodicalId":45870,"journal":{"name":"Empirical Studies of the Arts","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148285632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
