Studies in International Performance Published in Association with The Studies in International Performance Published in association with the International Federation of Theatre Research General Editors: Janelle Reinelt and Brian Singleton Culture and performance cross borders constantly, and not just the borders that define nations. In this new series, scholars of performance produce interactions between and among nations and cultures as well as genres, identities and imaginations. Inter-national in the largest sense, the books collected in the Studies in International Performance series display a range of historical, theoretical and critical approaches to the panoply of performances that make up the global surround. The series embraces ‘Culture’ which is institutional as well as improvised, underground or alternate, and treats ‘Performance’ as either intercultural or transnational as well as intracultural within nations. Titles include: Patrick Anderson and Jisha Menon (editors) VIOLENCE PERFORMED Local Roots and Global Routes of Confl ict Elaine Aston and Sue-Ellen Case STAGING INTERNATIONAL FEMINISMS Christopher Balme PACIFIC PERFORMANCES Theatricality and Cross-Cultural Encounter in the South Seas Matthew Isaac Cohen PERFORMING OTHERNESS Java and Bali on International Stages, 1905–1952 Susan Leigh Foster WORLDING DANCE Helen Gilbert and Jacqueline Lo PERFORMANCE AND COSMOPOLITICS Cross-Cultural Transactions in Australasia Helena Grehan PERFORMANCE, ETHICS AND SPECTATORSHIP IN A GLOBAL AGE Judith Hamera DANCING COMMUNITIES Performance, Difference, and Connection in the Global City Silvija Jestrovic and Yana Meerzon (editors) PERFORMANCE, EXILE AND ‘AMERICA’ Sonja Arsham Kuftinec THEATRE, FACILITATION, AND NATION FORMATION IN THE BALKANS AND MIDDLE EAST Carol Martin (editor) DRAMATURGY OF THE REAL ON THE WORLD STAGE Alan Read THEATRE, INTIMACY & ENGAGEMENT The Last Human Venue Shannon Steen RACIAL GEOMETRIES OF THE BLACK ATLANTIC, ASIAN PACIFIC AND AMERICAN THEATRE Joanne Tompkins UNSETTLING SPACE Contestations in Contemporary Australian Theatre S.

Their aim was, and still is, to call on performance scholars to expand their disciplinary horizons to include the comparative study of performances across national, cultural, social, and political borders. This is necessary not only in order to avoid the homogenizing tendency of national paradigms in performance scholarship, but also in order to engage in creating new performance scholarship that takes account of and embraces the com- plexities of transnational cultural production, the new media, and the economic and social consequences of increasingly international forms of artistic expression. Comparative studies (especially when conceived across more than two terms) can value both the specifically local and the broadly conceived global forms of performance practices, histories, and social formations. Comparative aesthetics can challenge the limitations of national orthodoxies of art criticism and current artistic knowledges. In for- malizing the work of the Federation’s members through rigorous and inno- vative scholarship this Series aims to make a significant contribution to an ever-changing project of knowledge creation. Janelle Reinelt and Brian Singleton International Federation for Theatre Research Fédération Internationale pour la Recherche Théâtrale viii Preface and Acknowledgements In the late 1980s, while studying shadow puppetry in Java, I stumbled across a musty and yellowing copy of a book by Indonesian novelist and biographer Ramadhan KH, Gelombang Hidupku: Dewi Dja dari Dardanella (1982; The Wave of My Life: Devi Dja of Dardanella) on the shelves of a local bookstore. On the book’s cover was a reproduction of an old poster, dating from 1939. ‘First time in America! Bali and Java Dancers with Devi Dja.’ Dja was pictured in full Javanese dance regalia in a classical pose in front of what appeared to be an eight-tiered Balinese funeral tower.

  • The Eclectic Careers of Eva and Juliette Gauthier Anita Slominska
    Interpreting success and failure: The eclectic careers of Eva and Juliette Gauthier Anita Slominska Art History and Communication Studies McGill University, Montreal April 2009 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ©2009 Anita Slominska Abstract My dissertation explores the eclectic singing careers of sisters Eva and Juliette Gauthier. Born in Ottawa, Eva and Juliettte were aided in their musical aspirations by the patronage of Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier and his wife Lady Zoë. They both received classical vocal training in Europe. Eva spent four years in Java. She studied the local music, which later became incorporated into her concert repertoire in North America. She went on to become a leading interpreter of modern art song. Juliette became a performer of Canadian folk music in Canada, the United States and Europe, aiming to reproduce folk music “realistically” in a concert setting. My dissertation is the result of examining archival materials pertaining to their careers, combined with research into the various social and cultural worlds they traversed. Eva and Juliette’s careers are revealing of a period of transition in the arts and in social experience more generally. These transitions are related to the exploitation of non-Western people, uses of the “folk,” and the emergence of a cultural marketplace that was defined by a mixture of highbrow institutions and mass culture industries. My methodology draws from the sociology of art and cultural history, transposing Eva and Juliette Gauthier against the backdrop of the social, cultural and economic conditions that shaped their career trajectories and made them possible.

  • Marius Barbeau and Musical Performers Elaine Keillor
    Marius Barbeau and Musical Performers Elaine Keillor Abstract: One of Marius Barbeau’s important contributions to heightening awareness of folk music traditions in Canada was his organization and promotion of concerts. These concerts took different forms and involved a range of performers. Concert presentations of folk music, such as those that Barbeau initiated called the Veillées du bon vieux temps, often and typically included a combination of performers. This article examines Barbeau’s “performers,” including classically educated musicians and some of his most prolific, talented informants. Barbeau and Juliette Gaultier Throughout Barbeau’s career as a folklorist, one of his goals was to use trained Canadian classical musicians as folk music performers, thereby introducing Canada’s rich folk music heritage to a broader public. This practice met with some mixed reviews. There are suggestions that he was criticized for depending on an American singer, Loraine Wyman,1 in his early presentations. Certainly, in his first Veillées du bon vieux temps, he used Sarah Fischer (1896-1975), a French-born singer who had made a highly praised operatic debut in 1918 at the Monument national in Montreal. But in 1919, she returned to Europe to pursue her career. Since she was no longer readily available for Barbeau’s efforts, he had to look elsewhere. One of Barbeau’s most prominent Canadian, classically trained singers was Juliette Gauthier de la Verendrye2 (1888-1972). Born in Ottawa, Juliette Gauthier attended McGill University, studied music in Europe, and made her debut with the Boston Opera in the United States. The younger sister of the singer Eva Gauthier,3 Juliette Gauthier made her professional career performing French, Inuit, and Native music.

The project was conducted in Yogyakarta, Indonesia that generally aimed at designing supplementary reading materials using CLLA as a guide book for tourist guides who worked for Sonobudoyo Museum. The book is entitled “The Javanese Cultural Heritages Reserved in Sonobudoyo Museum (JCHRSM)”. This utilized a developmental research design, which consisted of three procedures, namely: (1) exploration, aiming to analyze the needs of the tour guides of Sonobudoyo Museum; (2) development, to design a supplementary reading guide book for the (candidate) tourist guides working for Sonobudoyo Museum; and (3) validation, to find the designed guide book accuracy. This study found: (1) The tour guides’ needs was JCHRSM using CLLA; (2) the designed book was matched with the tour guides’ needs; and (3) the designed guide book was judged accurate and compatible for Sonobudoyo tour guides. This was judged accurate since: (1) it was designed based on the results of the tour guide needs analysis and book’s content analysis as suggested by McDonough and McDonough; (2) the 12 times cyclical treatments resulted continually learning improvement on the trainees’ reading skills; and (3) the guide book validation through statistical analysis using Mean Difference (Md) formula and One-shot study experimental design yielded significant gain score between the average score of pretest and post-test, i.e.

  • Silang Budaya Dalam Seni Pertunjukan Oleh : Jefri Eko Cahyono
    Silang Budaya dalam Seni Pertunjukan Oleh : Jefri Eko Cahyono Cina dan Jawa, merupakan dua etnis yang tidak pernah berhenti untuk saling berinteraksi. Kedua etnis ini memiliki keunikan dalam interaksi budayanya. Interaksi pada keduanya saling mengisi kekurangan dan kelebihna tanpa mengilangkan identitas aslinya. Entis Cina dan Jawa selalu hidup berdampingan, hal ini dikarenakan adanya rasa saling menghormati dan keharmonisasian dari dua etnis besar ini. Sejak tahun 1740 orang Tionghoa dan Jawa sudah berinteraksi dan hidup berdampingan dengan membawa kulturnya masing-masing. Dalam kata lain, pada pertumbuhan dan perkembangan di Jawa, etnis Cina selalu menyertai dan ikut berpartisipasi dalam pengembangan dan perubahan di Jawa. Dalam sejarah perubahan Jawa, sampai terjadinya Palihan nagari, ialah Mataram dibagi menjadi dua, yang kita kenali sebagai Kasultanan Ngayogyakarta dan Kasunanan Surakarta, etnis Cina menetap di dua wilayah masing-masing serta mendapat peran yang berbeda. Dari segi kebudayaan, keduanya terus menjalankan apa yang sekarang kita kenal sebagai persilangan, bahwa kultur Jawa dan Cina saling mengisi dan menghidupi. Dari sejumlah persilangan antara Cina dan Jawa, khusuanya di Yogyakarta, salah satunya bisa kita kenali melalui kesenian dan Wacinwa, kependekan dari Wayang Kulit Cina-Jawa adalah salah satu bentuk dari persilangan itu. Wayang Kulit Cina Jawa (Wacinwa) yang dipamerkan dalam Pameran Temporer yang diselenggarakan oleh Museum Sonobudoyo ini merupakan bentuk silang budaya antara kebudayaan Cina dan Jawa. Wayang Cina - Jawa diciptakan oleh Gan Thwan Sing (1895 – 1967) di Yogyakarta tahun 1925. Angka tahun pembuatan dapat diketahui dari tulisan yang ada di wayang gunungan koleksi Uberlingen. Pada gunungan tersebut terdapat tulisan “Dibuat oleh Gan Thwan Sing, 1925, Yogyakarta”. Wayang ini dibuat dengan cara memadukan budaya Cina dan Jawa.

  • A Feminist Perspective on New Orleans Jazzwomen
    A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE ON NEW ORLEANS JAZZWOMEN Sherrie Tucker Principal Investigator Submitted by Center for Research University of Kansas 2385 Irving Hill Road Lawrence, KS 66045-7563 September 30, 2004 In Partial Fulfillment of #P5705010381 Submitted to New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park National Park Service 419 Rue Decatur New Orleans, LA 70130 This is a study of women in New Orleans jazz, contracted by the National Park Service, completed between 2001 and 2004. Women have participated in numerous ways, and in a variety of complex cultural contexts, throughout the history of jazz in New Orleans. While we do see traces of women’s participation in extant New Orleans jazz histories, we seldom see women presented as central to jazz culture. Therefore, they tend to appear to occupy minor or supporting roles, if they appear at all. This Research Study uses a feminist perspective to increase our knowledge of women and gender in New Orleans jazz history, roughly between 1880 and 1980, with an emphasis on the earlier years.
