  • An Artaudian and Brechtian Analysis of the Living Theatre's the Brig
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Helsingin yliopiston digitaalinen arkisto An Artaudian and Brechtian Analysis of The Living Theatre’s The Brig: A Study of Contradictory Theories in Practice On a January evening in 1963 the stage director Julian Beck received a play entitled The Brig and immediately decided that it would be the next production his avant-garde troupe, The Living Theatre, was to produce. Written by Kenneth Brown, The Brig is a semi-autobiographical account of Brown’s harrowing experience in a Marine Corps prison while he was stationed at Mt. Fujiyama in Japan between 1954-1957.1 The production opened on May 15, 1963 under the direction of Beck’s wife and company co- founder, Judith Malina, and would ultimately become a signature work in The Living Theatre’s repertoire. Theatre critics readily recognized the piece’s use of a highly visceral and emotionally engaging theatrical form in dialectic conjunction with a socio/political content that attacked society’s various systems of hierarchical authority. New York Newsday described the performance as, “Shattering! Picasso’s Guernica or a Hiroronymous Bosch painting come to life,” while Variety magazine pointed out that it was “written with relentless fury…a searing indictment of man’s inhumanity to man.” The acclaimed theatre academic Robert Brustein perhaps captured the evening best when he wrote: An activist play designed to arouse responsibility…This ruthless documentary becomes an act of conscience, decency, and moral revolt in the midst of apathy and mass inertia. If you can spend a night in THE BRIG, you may start a jailbreak of your own.2 The Brig left its mark on the American theatre, as it was seminal in the development of the New York City avant-garde of the 1960s, and demonstrated The Living Theatre’s effective use of experimental performance as a source of political action.

  • What Is a Dance? in 3 Dances, Gene Friedman Attempts to Answer Just That, by Presenting Various Forms of Movement. the Film Is D
    GENE FRIEDMAN 3 Dances What is a dance? In 3 Dances, Gene Friedman attempts to answer just that, by presenting various forms of movement. The film is divided into three sections: “Public” opens with a wide aerial shot of The Museum of Modern Art’s Sculpture Garden and visitors walking about; “Party,” filmed in the basement of Judson Memorial Church, features the artists Alex Hay, Deborah Hay, Robert Rauschenberg, and Steve Paxton dancing the twist and other social dances; and “Private” shows the dancer Judith Dunn warming up and rehearsing in her loft studio, accompanied by an atonal vocal score. The three “dances” encompass the range of movement employed by the artists, musicians, and choreographers associated with Judson Dance Theater. With its overlaid exposures, calibrated framing, and pairing of distinct actions, Friedman’s film captures the group’s feverish spirit. WORKSHOPS In the late 1950s and early 1960s, three educational sites were formative for the group of artists who would go on to establish Judson Dance Theater. Through inexpensive workshops and composition classes, these artists explored and developed new approaches to art making that emphasized mutual aid and art’s relationship to its surroundings. The choreographer Anna Halprin used improvisation and simple tasks to encourage her students “to deal with ourselves as people, not dancers.” Her classes took place at her home outside San Francisco, on her Dance Deck, an open-air wood platform surrounded by redwood trees that she prompted her students to use as inspiration. In New York, near Judson Memorial Church, the ballet dancer James Waring taught a class in composition that brought together different elements of a theatrical performance, much like a collage.
