Rehearsed, repeatable strips of behavior

Restored behavior is Richard Schechner's term for twice-behaved behavior: strips of action that are rehearsed, repeated, and recombined rather than performed spontaneously, the common ground he identifies among theatre, ritual, dance, and the performances of everyday life. In Between Theater and Anthropology he argues that such behavior exists separately from those who perform it and can be stored, transmitted, and restaged. The referent is any sequence of action treated as a repeatable object that can be worked on and performed again, the basic unit of performance across cultural forms.[1]
