Staging Life/Living on Stage Squat theatre Staging Life/Living on Stage Anna Koós quat Theatre is known for having presented provocative, avant-garde perfor- mances in a New York storefront from 1977 to 1983. The stage was situated Sinside, in front of the window. Seats on risers served as the auditorium in the back of the store. The audience watched what transpired on the stage and beyond it, through the window, in the street — an extension of the stage, or a living back- ground, if you like. Our collective work began in Budapest in 1970. We were young artists, poets, former members of a university ensemble who formed an independent theatre company. In the Cold War, the Communist government in Hungary did not tolerate gatherings, cultural or otherwise, beyond its direct control. Our performances were banned in 1972. After four more years of skirting around prohibition (performing underground on the fringes of officialdom, mostly in private apartments) and fending off infiltrat- ing informers, the police, and even the neighbors, our theatre company was given the green light to emigrate, with four small children in tow. The core of the group which stayed together from 1970 until 1985 included five friends, namely: Stephan Balint (1943–2007), Peter Berg (b. 1947), Eva Buchmuller (b. 1943), Peter Halasz (1943–2006), and myself, Anna Koós (b. 1948). (Since our personalities mattered much, here I call us by our first names except Berg, to avoid mixing up the two Peters.) In the fifteen years of our collaboration, several other people joined us and sooner or later parted with us, two more children were born, and languages changed. We took the name “Squat Theatre” in 1977 when our first storefront performance — Pig, Child, Fire! — premiered in Holland. After a successful run at the festival of Nancy in France, we crossed the Atlantic and settled in New York. From October 1977 to October 1985, Squat rented a building in Chelsea, at 256 West 23rd Street. We had a storefront to perform in, and three more floors in which to live. None of this happened as happy-go-luckily as it may seem in an abbreviated history. Performances do not usually survive their making. They may at best be remembered by everyone present. Plays we did not write; scenarios we agreed on among our- selves and kept in our heads; acting we shunned from the start; methods we did 24 PAJ 105 (2013), pp. 24–40. © 2013 Anna Koós doi:10.1162/PAJJ_a_00158 Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/PAJJ_a_00158 by guest on 30 September 2021 not learn or teach. After describing the succession of events on stage and publishing the texts used in the performances (Eva Buchmuller and Anna Koós, Squat Theatre, New York: Artists Space, 1996), I embarked on writing a book about the ways our lives and the theatre we made enmeshed and depended on each other (Anna Koós, Szinházi történetek: szobában, kirakatban, English: Theatrical Stories: from Living Room to Storefront, Budapest: Akadémiai, 2009). Like all three Squat plays in Western emi- gration, the first in New York — Andy Warhol’s Last Love — was collectively created and produced. It played in New York (1978–1979), Rotterdam (1978), Hamburg (The Festival of Nations, 1979), Belgrade (BITEF, 1979), Milan, Brussels, Rome, and Flor- ence (1979), Cologne (Theater der Welt, 1981), and again during The Golden Age of Squat Theatre Festival (New York, 1982). The three-part performance took place on three “stages,” none of which were stages, strictly speacking. For Part One the performing group and the audience gathered on the second floor, in the living room of Eva and Stephan. Having listened to a radio message from Andromeda, everyone walked down to the storefront. Part Two was a black-and-white film projected onto a cotton curtain hanging in the storefront window, visible from both inside and outside. Part Three used the area inside and the sidewalk outside, and began with Andy Warhol’s arrival from the street chaperoning a short overweight woman: Kathleen, the witch. She proceeded to perform a ritual in the nude then sat down to answer Andy’s pre-recorded questions live (Warhol’s voice was Mark Amitin’s). Meanwhile, three women from Andromeda gathered on the sidewalk. One of them, Ulrike Meinhof’s twelve-year-old reincarnation, entered the stage to interview Andy, eventually re-enacting Valery Solanas’s 1968 shooting attack. The following excerpts from Chapter Seven of my book Theatrical Stories: From Liv- ing Room to Storefront are about the creation of Andy Warhol’s Last Love. It starts in 1978, seven months after Squat cleared immigration at JFK. THE YEAR OF THE HORSE When the Gregorian calendar registers February, Chinese around the world celebrate the New Year. In Chinatown the celebration lasts for several days. A nocturnal parade winds its way through narrow streets in lower Manhattan. We must have landed on another planet. On my first outing to Chinatown, I was dazzled by its unfamiliar objects, the deni- zens’ habits and gestures. East of Broadway, fishmongers lined small streets in the vicinity of Canal Street, their stands slumping under the dawn’s catch. In landlocked Hungary, fish markets were rare if there were any. Fishstands in Paris were narrow stalls lining the sidewalk in front of the first floor of the building they occupied. After hours they vanished — cashier, scales, and counter all folded up and pressed against the wall behind shutters pulled down to the ground, all in one pop-up book as it were. In Chinatown, it was the opposite. The fishstands not only jutted out over the sidewalk but they also spread across the building — no windows or doors, the store entirely open. The catch of the day was laid in trays filled with crushed ice: clams, mussels, oysters, tuna, dwarf shark, squid, cod, scallops, shellfish, fluke, mollusk, KOÓS / Squat Theatre 25 Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/PAJJ_a_00158 by guest on 30 September 2021 hermit crab, lobster, eel, turtle, and unnameable others. Vegetables of all kinds piled up in crates on the sidewalk near the stands, vegetables I had never seen before, let alone eaten, along with smelly dried or smoked fish and seaweed. At the foot of the rear of a downtown prison, two cobblers worked sitting on tiny stools — no shop, not even a makeshift booth. Tools wrapped in linen lay on the ground. Next to them a thin Asian man squatted at the edge of the sidewalk, sculpting and folding dried bamboo leaves into palm-size pieces of praying mantis, butterfly, and dragonfly. I bought one of each. All sorts of medicines lined the shelves at the drugstore. If one cared to rise up on tip-toe and look through the upper window of a wooden front door, a curious sight might come into view: half-gallon glass jars filled with various dry concoctions, salted and dried white sea horses, dried algae, chrysanthemum, and calendula flower, small balls of uncanny mixtures of dried herbs and minerals. The Chinese herbalist spoke no English. Once I entered a Buddhist temple next door. Candlelight, empty space, an altar, incense burning, tiny bells hanging from above. Quiet. Shambala Center was on West 22nd Street, many blocks to the North. Curiously enough, we lived on West 23rd Street but were unaware of it while there. Shambala Center had Allen Ginsberg lying in repose in the spring of 1998. It so happened then that I turned on the radio one early morning while I was painting toy soldiers to supplement my income, or to have something meditative to do within my hectic schedule. WBAI 99.5 FM. Amy Goodman was on the air, I liked her reports. As I remember, she was saying: “The ceremony over, everyone has cleared the room. Only the two of us have stayed on: Allen Ginsberg’s cold body and I.” The New Year’s parade started from the little square at the confluence of three streets where the statue of Confucius stands. Germinating bamboo shoots in glasses of water decorated Chinatown’s windows, and steam billowed onto the sidewalks from restaurant kitchens. At the head of the parade a gigantic red and gold dragon puppet danced at rods’ ends. It reminded me of the chimeras on display at the Met. Behind the dancing dragon Chinese New Yorkers banged instruments, threw confetti and ticker-tape, lit sparklers, and tossed firecrackers. The loud racket chased the evil spirits away from places and from the coming year. Nineteen seventy-eight was the Year of the Horse. Stephan’s uncle — the sculptor Joseph Jakovits, Yaki to us, who had immigrated to New York twenty years before — took him and Eva to the parade. Yaki bought a red poster with a picture of a brown horse in profile — a present for Eva. She pinned it up in their room above the table. This was the source of inspiration for filming Andy Warhol riding a horse through Chinatown. FORWARD WITH A NEW PLAY! In early 1978, we still had not come up with a new play. Not that New York necessarily expected it from us but we thought our life — as a theatre and as a group — hinged on it. Thoughts of our survival kept worrying and simultaneously driving each of us, in separate phases and different constellations. A gorge opened up and yawned behind us: there was no stepping back. 26 PAJ 105 Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/PAJJ_a_00158 by guest on 30 September 2021 Continuous talk went on among us that sometimes crashed into a dead end or mutual silence.

  • Selected Chronology of Political Protests and Events in Lawrence
    SELECTED CHRONOLOGY OF POLITICAL PROTESTS AND EVENTS IN LAWRENCE 1960-1973 By Clark H. Coan January 1, 2001 LAV1tRE ~\JCE~ ~')lJ~3lj(~ ~~JGR§~~Frlt 707 Vf~ f·1~J1()NT .STFie~:T LA1JVi~f:NCE! i(At.. lSAG GG044 INTRODUCTION Civil Rights & Black Power Movements. Lawrence, the Free State or anti-slavery capital of Kansas during Bleeding Kansas, was dubbed the "Cradle of Liberty" by Abraham Lincoln. Partly due to this reputation, a vibrant Black community developed in the town in the years following the Civil War. White Lawrencians were fairly tolerant of Black people during this period, though three Black men were lynched from the Kaw River Bridge in 1882 during an economic depression in Lawrence. When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1894 that "separate but equal" was constitutional, racial attitudes hardened. Gradually Jim Crow segregation was instituted in the former bastion of freedom with many facilities becoming segregated around the time Black Poet Laureate Langston Hughes lived in the dty-asa child. Then in the 1920s a Ku Klux Klan rally with a burning cross was attended by 2,000 hooded participants near Centennial Park. Racial discrimination subsequently became rampant and segregation solidified. Change was in the air after World "vV ar II. The Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy (LLPD) formed in 1945 and was in the vanguard of Post-war efforts to end racial segregation and discrimination. This was a bi-racial group composed of many KU faculty and Lawrence residents. A chapter of Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) formed in Lawrence in 1947 and on April 15 of the following year, 25 members held a sit-in at Brick's Cafe to force it to serve everyone equally.

  • The History and Philosophy of the Postwar American Counterculture
    The History and Philosophy of the Postwar American Counterculture: Anarchy, the Beats and the Psychedelic Transformation of Consciousness By Ed D’Angelo Copyright © Ed D’Angelo 2019 A much shortened version of this paper appeared as “Anarchism and the Beats” in The Philosophy of the Beats, edited by Sharin Elkholy and published by University Press of Kentucky in 2012. 1 The postwar American counterculture was established by a small circle of so- called “beat” poets located primarily in New York and San Francisco in the late 1940s and 1950s. Were it not for the beats of the early postwar years there would have been no “hippies” in the 1960s. And in spite of the apparent differences between the hippies and the “punks,” were it not for the hippies and the beats, there would have been no punks in the 1970s or 80s, either. The beats not only anticipated nearly every aspect of hippy culture in the late 1940s and 1950s, but many of those who led the hippy movement in the 1960s such as Gary Snyder and Allen Ginsberg were themselves beat poets. By the 1970s Allen Ginsberg could be found with such icons of the early punk movement as Patty Smith and the Clash. The beat poet William Burroughs was a punk before there were “punks,” and was much loved by punks when there were. The beat poets, therefore, helped shape the culture of generations of Americans who grew up in the postwar years. But rarely if ever has the philosophy of the postwar American counterculture been seriously studied by philosophers.

Political Pie-Throwing: Dead Kennedys and the Yippie-Punk Continuumi MICHAEL STEWART FOLEY By the time Dead Kennedys released their first LP, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, in 1980, the band had established itself as the leading American political punk band, hailing from a city that seemed to specialize in political art. In many ways, the band and its music represented the culmination of nearly three years of subcultural political struggle on a host of issues facing not only young people in San Francisco but American youth everywhere – enough that, to this day, many of the city’s punk veterans refer to their experience in the “movement.” Political historians of the United States in the 1970s and 1980s have mostly ignored punk, but this essay examines Dead Kennedys’ early career as a way to illuminate the political experience of one segment of American youth in the late 1970s.

DESCRIPTORS *Critical Thinking; *Educational Change; Educational Development; Educational Trends; *Higher Education; LKirning Processes; *Power Structure; *Student College Relationship; *Teacher Role IDENTIFIERS *Critical Pedagogy ABSTRACT The only feasible path to a truly critical pedagogy is the destruction of the university. Before teachers and students ever arrive in the classroom, they have certain "places" within a blind, faceless institution which mark them in ways which must somehow be overcome for a truly critical pedagogy to develop. Analyzing how these roles are produced and reproduced ideologically suggests that the result of this reproduction is something profoundly anti-intellectual and anti-educational that is literally built into the smem within which critical teaching methods must develop. Critical pedagogy must attempt to subvert these institutional constraints from within, and changing the system of power requires abandoning the goals of the "university" education and beginning to develop the tools for education. This does not mean quitting jobs or trying to shut down the university; rather, it means usIng the established institution against itself, creating spectacles in the university that might compete with those offered on television, and might thus help to bridge the gap between education and everyday life. Being critical means constantly traversing the artificial boundaries among disciplines, emphasizing the learning process itself rather than the list of works required for a particular niche-like specialization.
