This paper questions the reception of interdisciplinary in performance arts, more precisely dance-theater. It states that to fully experiment a dance-theater performance, spectator must adopt both semiotic analysis and kinesthetic empathy towards the piece. It also examines new ways of evaluating audience responses to dance such as studies using portable devices on which spectators record their level of engagement towards the choreography, writing methods combining description and analysis of both the performance and the embodied response of the spectator and finally, creative writing workshops answering to watching dance. It concludes that if borders between different art forms have fallen to let them hybrid, the reception to it must also adjust and open to different spectatorial postures in order to engage a dialogue between creators and spectators.

Keywords: dance-theater, reception, semiotic analysis, kinesthetic empathy, interartistic performance.
