Gdmez INTRODUCTION Burning Man is an annual art event and temporary community based on radi- cal self-expression and self-reliance, in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada.' The event is a week-long annual affair that draws more than fifty thousand partici- pants, known as "burners," from around the world. 2 The event takes place in the custom-built, temporary, Black Rock City,3 located in a prehistoric lakebed or "playa" in the Black Rock desert, more than one hundred miles from Reno. Black Rock City is rebuilt annually on seven square-miles of federal land in the southern point of the Black Rock Desert.4 Burners are explicitly encouraged to partake in acts of "radical self-expression." They do so through artistic performances; by creating interactive sculptures and other outdoors art installations, through cos- tumes and fashion, music, art vehicles, and visual media.5 *Associate Professor, Florida International University College of Law.

    Michael Mikel: Burning Man Collection CAE1305

    Michael Mikel: Burning Man Collection CAE1305 Introduction/Abstract This archive contains materials related to Burning Man, the annual art event and temporary community program held every year in the Black Rock Desert during the last week in August, which had its origins in the 1980s at Baker Beach in San Francisco. Materials include participant and program ephemera, slides, photographs, video, design documents, and press. Biographical Note: Michael Mikel, aka Danger Ranger Michael Mikel, whose playa name is Danger Ranger, was one of the three founders of Burning Man in 1990 along with John Law and Larry Harvey. He remains part owner of the parent company, Black Rock City LLC, as well as serving on the board of directors of the nonprofit Burning Man Project. In 1992, Mikel founded the Black Rock Rangers, and he continues to oversee security for the annual event. Mikel created the first Burning Man mailing list database, produced the first issue of the Black Rock Gazette, established the Burning Man Archive, and drove the first art car to the Black Rock Desert. In 2001, he visited regional burn communities during his Tour of America as an ambassador for Burning Man. In addition, Mikel functions as an important member of San Francisco's Cacophony Society—"a randomly gathered network of free spirits united in pursuit of experience beyond the mainstream." It was the society that organized the trip to the Black Rock Desert in 1990 known as “Zone Trip #4,” and which hosted the first burn of the Man in the desert that year. Mikel has an engineering systems background in computers and robotics.

    Dancing Into the Chthulucene: Sensuous Ecological Activism In

    Dancing into the Chthulucene: Sensuous Ecological Activism in the 21st Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kelly Perl Klein Graduate Program in Dance Studies The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Dr. Harmony Bench, Advisor Dr. Ann Cooper Albright Dr. Hannah Kosstrin Dr. Mytheli Sreenivas Copyrighted by Kelly Perl Klein 2019 2 Abstract This dissertation centers sensuous movement-based performance and practice as particularly powerful modes of activism toward sustainability and multi-species justice in the early decades of the 21st century. Proposing a model of “sensuous ecological activism,” the author elucidates the sensual components of feminist philosopher and biologist Donna Haraway’s (2016) concept of the Chthulucene, articulating how sensuous movement performance and practice interpellate Chthonic subjectivities. The dissertation explores the possibilities and limits of performances of vulnerability, experiences of interconnection, practices of sensitization, and embodied practices of radical inclusion as forms of activism in the context of contemporary neoliberal capitalism and competitive individualism. Two theatrical dance works and two communities of practice from India and the US are considered in relationship to neoliberal shifts in global economic policy that began in the late 1970s. The author analyzes the dance work The Dammed (2013) by the Darpana Academy for Performing Arts in Ahmedabad,
  • Into the Zone

    Into the Zone

    chapter 1 Into the Zone By the time I first got to Burning Man in 1996— which turned out to be a pivotal year for the event— it had already changed dramatically from its humble beginnings a decade before. On summer solstice eve in 1986, a man named Larry Harvey and his friend Jerry James decided, for no premeditated reason, to host an impromptu gathering on San Fran- cisco’s Baker Beach, where they constructed a primitive wooden effigy and burned it. Having invited just a handful of friends to join them, they were delighted to discover that as they set flame to the eight- foot- high sculpture, the spectacle attracted onlookers from up and down the beach. As Harvey tells the often-repeated tale, someone began to strum a gui- tar, others began to dance and interact with the figure, and a spontaneous feeling of community and connectedness came upon those gathered— friends and strangers alike (see DVD, chap. 1). Flushed with the unan- ticipated success of the gathering, Harvey and James soon decided to hold it again the next year; with each subsequent iteration, both the crowd and the sculpture grew substantially. Numerous legends have accumulated around the birth of the festival and— as is often the case with largely oral traditions—the elements of the narrative have shifted with each retelling, as some aspects have been emphasized and others lost in the dust. For his part, Harvey insists that he had no consciously preconceived ideas about the meaning of the Burning Man, let alone about starting a global movement.

  • From Radical to Routine: BURNING MAN and the TRANSFORMATION of a COUNTERCULTURAL MOVEMENT

    From Radical to Routine: BURNING MAN and the TRANSFORMATION of a COUNTERCULTURAL MOVEMENT

    From Radical to Routine: BURNING MAN AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF A COUNTERCULTURAL MOVEMENT Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Welch School for Graduate Studies Goucher College By Miriam Fathalla, B. Soc. Sci. Master of Arts in Cultural Sustainability Program Goucher College 2015 Thesis Committee: Robert Baron, Ph.D., Advisor Rory Turner, Ph.D. Brian Doherty Abstract Burning Man refers to three entities; a community of motivated creatives, an organizational body and the week-long Nevada-desert art event that attracts up to 70,000 participants annually and culminates in the burning of a large effigy. All three iterations are rapidly growing and ask participants to embrace Ten Principles (or social ideals held in common) in order to create the liminal space that is ripe for individual and social transformation inherent to the Burning Man experience. With what may be considered widespread success of the event, Burning Man is grappling with how to sustain, protect and grow the culture of the event and community with many new participants each year. This work explores how the radical, avant-garde and transgressive event has necessarily changed over its 29-year history and how institutionalization, normalization and regulation has affected the spirit of curiosity, ingenuity and communitas at the heart of this extreme experience. It examines the trajectory of emergent culture, how emergent and dominant cultures interface and the role of cultural incorporation in this process. This work points to new directions for the practice and growing body of Cultural Sustainability work and theory by focusing on emerging cultural phenomenon and analyzing how Cultural Sustainability practices may be applied to the conscious creation/evolution of a culture.
  • The Performance Culture of Burning Man

    The Performance Culture of Burning Man

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE PERFORMANCE CULTURE OF BURNING MAN Wendy Ann Clupper, PhD, 2007 Directed By: Dr. Franklin J. Hildy, Department of Theatre and Performance Studies Theatre in the United States for the last twenty years has been evolving in scope by way of a cultural phenomenon known as Burning Man. In 2006, this festival attracted over forty thousand participants to the Black Rock Desert in Northwestern Nevada to a flat dusty Playa surrounded by mountain ranges. While the natural environment there is hostile, the creative atmosphere is welcoming and invites a broad scope of performative behaviors and genres to be exhibited there, the entire week the festival takes place. Make-shift stages and theme camps, as well as large- scale interactive art pieces play host to participants who dress up in fanciful costumes to perform in all manner of imagining. This dissertation maps out the cultural terrain of Burning Man in order to explain how performing there is form of identity-making and cultural commodity. As one of a handful of North American festivals which expressly discourage commercialism and commodification, theatricality takes the place of significance for entertainment and communication. Performance forms of all kinds historically are represented at Burning Man and this dissertation will investigate and theorize how a new performance culture has emerged from the festival itself and by its presence as a theatrical event, has exposed and expanded performance and theatre forms. This dissertation offers a critical framework through which to consider performance and performers within the Burning Man community as applied to Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of Carnival and the Schema for Theatrical Eventness proposed by the International Federation for Theatre Research Theatrical Events Working Group.

As opposed to other festivals, Burning Man does relationships, climate, geology, geographical location, politics and not provide consumer services, products or performances, but rather power structure relationships, spatial hierarchies, view axes, fields of creates a tabula rasa onto which the revelers are invited to create a tension between different urban functions, and relationship between week-long experimental society based on participation rather than culture and nature, to name a few. Maps, observations on location, observation. The participative quality of the society is transformative, and interviews are used to gather information and form hypotheses converting it into an actual city as opposed to merely a large-scale about the condition and evolution of the urban structure.
