Universidad Nacional de Río Negro; Argentina The aim of this paper is to describe and analyze a theatre fragment utilizing the concept of forms of vitality as proposed by developmental psychologist Daniel Stern. The selected fragmentbelongs to the play Krapp’s Last Tape by Samuel Beckett. Three performances of it, each by a renowned actor, were subjected to an ELAN program. A comparative analysis was made using an ad-hoc observational code containing four categories: forms of vitality in the actor´s movements, voice, scene sounds other than voice, and lighting. Subcategories were created based on attributes described by Stern (i.e. sudden, gentle, effortful), and were assigned along a temporal line. Prevalent forms of vitality per category were identified in each case, plus a comparison between categories. Finally, a description of the effect of these different display and combination of forms of vitality on the experience of spectators is discussed.
