[email protected] (212) 691-6500 x212 Schedule of Events*: Live Ideas: The Worlds of Oliver Sacks April 17 – 21, 2013 All events take place at New York Live Arts 219 W 19th Street, New York, NY 10011 www.newyorklivearts.org/liveideas 212-924-0077 Box Office hours: Monday-Friday 1 - 9pm | Saturday-Sunday 12 - 8pm Wednesday April 17, 2013: 12:00pm-1:15pm Theater| Price: Free Body Work: Weightlifting, Exercise, & Long Distance Swimming Featuring: Lynne Cox, Colin McGinn Back in the early 1960s, Oliver Sacks was the California State heavyweight-lifting champion; he has also been a dedicated swimmer throughout his life. A few of his friends gather to discuss the profoundly embodied aspect of Sacks’ neurological practice, but also the wider challenge of keeping the body focused while under extreme physical and/or environmental pressure. 3:00pm-4:15pm Studios | Price: $10 Disembodiedness: Body Image & Proprioception Featuring: Ian Waterman, Dr. Jonathan Cole, Marsha Ivins One day, in the wake of a virulent viral infection, 19-year-old Englishman Ian Waterman suddenly lost his proprioception—which is to say any sense of the relative position of parts of the body. And yet, assisted by Sacks’ student Dr. Jonathan Cole, Waterman would come to achieve a remarkable accommodation to his condition. Waterman and Cole will be joined by Sacks’ longtime friend, astronaut Marsha Ivins, to discuss bodily awareness, both in and out of gravity. 5:30pm-6:45pm Theater | Price: $15 Musicophilia & Music Therapy Featuring: Connie Tomaino, Aniruddh D. Patel, Joseph LeDoux A deep love of classical music has characterized Sacks’ life from his earliest days, and an appreciation for music’s profound therapeutic potential came to characterize his practice as a doctor, as he recounts in his recent book, Musicophilia. This panel will feature Sacks’ colleague Connie Tomaino, co-founder of the Institute for Music and Neurological Function, and neuroscientists/musicians Aniruddh D. Patel and Joseph LeDoux. 8:00pm-9:30pm Theater | Price: $60 (VIP $150) Opening Keynote Conversation: Bill T. Jones in Conversation with Oliver Sacks Featuring: Oliver Sacks, Bill T. Jones, Lawrence Weschler A heartfelt discussion between three profound thinkers and writers, this keynote conversation will examine ideas of neurology and the soul, as well as current and past trends in neurological and choreographic research. Thursday, April 18, 2013: 12:00pm-1:15pm Theater | Price: Free The Natural World: Ferns, Cycads & Cephalopods Featuring: Robbin Moran, Dennis Stevenson, Roger Hanlon Among Sacks’ many other passions, he evinces a special love for the biological world, particularly cephalopods (which is to say squid and octopi), ferns and the primordially ancient cycads. Three of the country’s top specialists in these marvels join forces to ensorcel the rest of us. 3:00pm-4:15pm Studios | Price: $10 Stinks and Bangs (Chemistry & Uncle Tungsten) Featuring: Theodore Gray, Roald Hoffmann, Bassam Shakhashiri As a boy, Sacks’ first great intellectual passion was for chemistry. Nobel laureate Roald Hoffmann, along with two other of Sacks’ closest chemical friends, team up to evoke the lure of the elemental. 6:00pm-7:15pm Theater | Price: $15 Minding the Dancing Body Featuring: Bill T. Jones, Alva Noë, Miguel Gutierrez, Colin McGinn Two celebrated philosophers of consciousness, Colin McGinn, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Miami and author of The Mysterious Flame: Conscious Minds In A Material World, and Alva Noë, author most recently of Out of Our Heads, will discuss some of the intellectual foundations of dance with New York Live Arts’ Executive Artistic Director Bill T. Jones and fellow choreographer Miguel Gutierrez. 8:00pm-9:10pm Theater | Price: $40 Re:Awakenings (Dance) Featuring: Donna Uchizono Company Donna Uchizono Company performs State of Heads (1999), which originally premiered at Dance Theater Workshop, along with the world premiere of a newly commissioned exploration of Awakenings, inspired by the Sacksian idea of embodied investigation. This performance also features the world premiere of Re:Awakenings, a Bill Morrison film based on original footage taken by Oliver Sacks. Friday, April 19, 2013: 3:00pm-4:15pm Studios | Price: $10 Stereoscopy & Kinetic Vision Featuring: Susan Barry, Gerald Marks, Walter Murch Another lifelong passion of Sacks’ has been for stereoscopy, both the bifocal experience of depth and the various techniques for provoking the artificial experience of pop-up 3D. Susan Barry, whose late-life acquisition of bifocal depth perception comprises one of the most moving chapters of Sacks’ The Mind’s Eye, will be joined Gerald Marks of the New York Stereoscopic Society and film editor Walter Murch, whose particular fascination is in Sacks’ account of episodes of kinematic vision among some of the patients in Awakenings. 8:00pm-9:10pm Theater | Price: $40 Re: Awakenings (Music) Featuring: Aletta Collins, Daniel Hay-Gordon, Tobias Picker, Orchestra of St. Luke’s The Orchestra of St. Luke's performs works by Tobias Picker and Michael Nyman. Sacks' work has inspired a range of musical responses, and this evening's concert will feature two of them: the Awakenings ballet suite by Picker, accompanying a solo dance performance by Daniel-Hay Gordon, choreographed by Aletta Collins; and a concert version of selected passages from Nyman's opera of The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, whose libretto, written by Christoper Rawlence, draws on the title story from Sacks' collection of the same name. This performance also features Re:Awakenings, a Bill Morrison film based on original footage taken by Oliver Sacks. Saturday, April 20, 2013: 11:30am-1:00pm Theater | Price: Free Screening of Yorkshire Television Documentary "Awakenings" Featuring: Oliver Sacks Oliver Sacks introduces a screening of the 1974 Yorkshire Television documentary “Awakenings,” which chronicles the post-encephalitic patients described in his book of the same name. Screening will be followed by Q&A with Sacks. 2:30pm-3:45pm White, Robbins Studios | Price: $10 Sacks the Writer: Process & Influence Featuring: Wendy Lesser, John Bennet, Dan Frank, Chris Adrian, Lawrence Weschler Across twelve books and hundreds of articles, Oliver Sacks has established himself as one of the most distinctly recognized and beloved doctor writers of our time. This panel, moderated by Wendy Lesser, will evoke Sacks-the-Writer both through the eyes of two of his editors, and through those of two fellow writers. 4:00pm-5:10pm Theater | Price: $40 Re: Awakenings (Dance) Featuring: Donna Uchizono Company Encore Presentation (see listing details from Thursday 8:00pm-9:10pm). 6:00pm-7:15pm Studio | Price: Free Neurologists & Philosophers Consider Sacks at 80 Featuring: Orrin Devinsky, Aniruddh Patel, VS Ramachandran, Alva Noë Sacks sometimes refers to himself as a “clinical ontologist,” a practicing neurologist whose fundamental question, when facing each new patient, is often quite simply “How are you?”. A panel of leading neurologists and philosophers will consider the impact and influence of Sacks’ work. 8:00pm-10:00pm Theater | Price: $40 Re: Awakenings (Theater) Two versions of Harold Pinter's A Kind of Alaska Featuring: Kim Weild, Karen Kohlhaas, Terrylene Scchetti, Alexandria Wailes, Lewis Merkin, Lisa Emery, Rebecca Henderson, Larry Bryggman “Something is happening.” With these words, Harold Pinter evokes the quickening back to life of a bedbound older woman, to the astonishment of her attending physician. New York Live Arts will present Pinter’s one- act play A Kind of Alaska twice: once in a spoken version, directed by Karen Kohlhaas, and then in a version rendered entirely in American Sign Language, directed by Kim Weild (in celebration of Sacks’ special standing among the Deaf community). This performance also features Re:Awakenings, a Bill Morrison film based on original footage taken by Oliver Sacks. Sunday, April 21, 2013: 10:30am-11:45pm Studios | Price: Free The Tourette’s Community Featuring: Tobias Picker, Lowell Handler, Jumaane Williams Beyond the often-transformative impact of his work with individual patients, Sacks has left a remarkable impression on the lives of entire communities of the variously abled. This panel will highlight Sacks’ contribution to the experience of those living with Tourette’s syndrome. A composer, a photographer, and a New York City councilman will detail their personal experiences of living with the condition. 12:00pm-1:15pm Theater | Price: Free The Deaf Community Featuring: Kim Weild In March 1988, students at Gallaudet University in Washington DC, the country’s premiere institution for the deaf, rose up in revolt at perceived threats to the primacy of American Sign Language (ASL) as the distinct expression of their culture and community. Sacks travelled to Gallaudet to witness the tumultuous events and subsequently chronicled them with remarkable sympathy and insight in his book Seeing Voices. This panel, moderated by Kim Wield, the director of our staging of the ASL version of A Kind of Alaska, will focus a variety of such voices on Sacks’ contributions to the wider discourse between the hearing and the deaf. 1:30pm-2:15pm Studios | Price: FREE The Parkinsonian Community Featuring: Steven Frucht, David Leventhal A theme to which Dr. Sacks has returned again and again across both his writings and his practice is the ordeal of Parkinsonism. Here too, Dr. Sacks has found a way to engage both his patients

  • Läsarens Interaktion Med Texten
    Södertörns högskola | Institutionen för genus, kultur och historia Kandidatuppsats 15 hp | Litteraturvetenskap | Vårterminen 2012 Läsarens interaktion med texten – en studie av hur läsarens uppfattning av texten påverkar meningsskapandet i absurdistisk dramatik Av: Sofie Smith Handledare: Ola Holmgren 1 Abstact This essay examines how the meaning of an absurd play may be affected by how the reader understands the text. To address this problem I have turned to Wolfgang Isers theory of reception. Primarily I have taken on that the creation of meaning comes about when the reader fills in blanks in the text. I have also used Martin Esslins work on the theater of the absurd. I have mainly studied his research on Harold Pinter. Based on these two theories I have suggested a interpretation model that focuses on the interaction between reader and text. The interpretation model contains how the reader analyses blanks through observing the wandering view alternatively understanding the implied reader. The interpretation model also discusses how the reader can fill in blanks by using the relationship between character and environment, the final junction, turning points and uncertainties. I tested this interpretation model on Harold Pinters play A kind of Alaska. In my ideation of the play I realized it was about the loneliness of ageing and changing. I used these results to evaluate the usefulness of the interpretation model. Key-words: Harold Pinter, Wolfgang Iser, Martin Esslin, A kind of Alaska, Theater of the Absurd, ideation, aesthetic response, receptions Sammanfattning Denna uppsats undersöker hur läsarens uppfattning av en absurdistisk pjäs påverkar dess betydelse. För att angripa det här problemet har jag dels vänt mig till Wolfgang Isers receptions teori.

  • A Speech Act Analysis of Pinter's a Kind of Alaska and No Man' 12
    "ARE YOU SPEAKING?": A SPEECH ACT ANALYSIS OF PINTER'S A KIND OF ALASKA AND NO MAN' 12. LAND Brian Britt Honors Thesis April 18, 1986 Brian Britt Pinter Thesis Reading List Beckett, Samuel. Endgame. Brecht, Bertolt. The Messingkauf Dialogues. Ionesco, Eugene. The Bald Soprano. The Lesson. Osborne, John. Look Back in Anger. Shakespeare, William. Coriolanus. ~ Kind of Alaska and No Man's Land, two of Harold Pinter's recent plays, demonstrate the range between naturalistic and stylized elements in his work. l In ~ Kind of Alaska, the situation and characters cohere in a believable if unusual representation of reality. No Man's Land, however, resists this treatment as a naturalistic set of circumstances. Although the dialogue of both plays is composed of ordinary, spoken language, its effects resist the label of realism; one critic has called Pinter a "hyperrealist" and "a virtuoso of phonomimesis.,,2 (By "ordinary language" I mean language that people use in conversational discourse as opposed to specialized types of language.) Through an analysis of these two plays, this essay will attempt to uncover some of the ways in which Pinter's drama employs ordinary speech to yield extraordinary effects. Like most other Pinter critics, Austin Quigley identifies this puzzling effect of Pinter's language as a central issue in his work. 3 Quigley identifies a general trend in Pinter criticism of treating this quality as something mysterious and almost magical: "These [terms describing Pinter's language] are variously described as language that transcends the expressible, language that abandons the expressible, language that conveys things in spite of what it expresses.

  • Other Places and the Caretaker: an Exploration of the Inner Reality in Harold Pinter‘S Plays
    ISSN 1799-2591 Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Vol. 3, No. 4, pp. 581-588, April 2013 © 2013 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland. doi:10.4304/tpls.3.4.581-588 Other Places and The Caretaker: An Exploration of the Inner Reality in Harold Pinter‘s Plays Hongwei Chen School of Foreign Studies, Beijing University of Science and Technology, Beijing, China Abstract—Exploring in his plays an overlapping area where social forces and human instincts interplay and superimpose upon each other, Harold Pinter dramatizes the inner reality of the characters who are trapped in various ambivalent forces, which collide and conflict, thereby producing the paradoxical tension in the subject’s instinct of escape and impulse to stay within. Index Terms—man in modern society, the realm of “the real”, other places, inner reality I. INTRODUCTION If we examine Harold Pinter‘s plays from The Room (1957) to Moonlight (1993), we may find that, however diversified the themes may appear (politics, family, or gender), two narrative models always can be found in them. In the first model, an individual escapes from various forms of ―rooms‖ (either a mysterious club, or family, or the Establishment) and is hounded, seized, interrogated and tortured for his attempt to be a non-conformist. Such characters as Stanley in The Birthday Party (1958), the son in Family Voices (1982), Victor in One for the Road (1984), as well as Fred and Jake in Moonlight, all belong to this category. In the second type of structure, characters are presented within various rooms, to which the characters cling as their territories.

  • The Development of Harold Pinter's Political Drama
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the pennission of the Author. FROM MENACE TO TORTURE: THE DEVELOPMENT OF HAROLD PINTER'S POLITICAL DRAMA A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English at Massey University Betty s. Livingston 1993 ii ABSTRACT There is a degree of continuity between Pinter's "comedies of menace" and his overtly political plays. The chief difference between the two types of plays is one of focus: in the "comedies of menace" Pinter emphasises social pressures exerted on the nonconforming indi victual, whereas in the overtly political plays he focusses explicitly on State oppression of the dissident. Pinter's passionate concern with politics has adversely affected his art, though there are signs of a return to form in his latest play, Party Time. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I am extremely grateful to Professor Dick Corballis for his generous and invaluable guidance and assistance. CONTENTS Page Acknowledgement iii CHAPTER ONE: Introduction 1 CHAPTER TWO: Society versus the nonconforming 5 individual: the "comedies of menace" CHAPTER THREE: The State versus the dissident 48 individual: the overtly political plays CHAPTER FOUR: The effect of Pinter's political 82 commitment on his art NOTES 89 BIBLIOGRAPHY 97 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Pinter's seemingly abrupt switch to explicitly political drama in One for the Road took many of his critics by surprise.

  • Face to Face WINTER 2005
    Face to Face WINTER 2005 Stuart Pearson Wright on painting J.K. Rowling My Favourite Portrait by Penelope Wilton Celebrating 50 years of the Royal Court Theatre George Scharf and the National Portrait Gallery Special discounted Gift Membership offer From the Director The new commissioned portrait of J.K. Rowling has attracted considerable attention since it was unveiled in September. BP winner Stuart Pearson Wright has brilliantly combined a traditional figure study of the author, delicately painted in oils, with a ‘toy theatre’ space, making reference to the constrained circumstances when she wrote the early Harry Potter novels, as well as to her three young children. Creating new portraits is one of the special aspects of the National Portrait Gallery and we are proud of what has been achieved over the past twenty-five years. We are COVER therefore making a special link between our recently launched Associates Scheme and J.K. Rowling by Stuart Pearson Wright, support for the Commissions Programme. 2005 We are in the final stages of preparation for our 150th Anniversary celebrations, Commissioned by the Trustees of the National Portrait Gallery sponsored by Herbert Smith. I look forward to telling you about the programme of with the support of BP exhibitions, displays and activities in the next issue of Face to Face. Sandy Nairne DIRECTOR MY FAVOURITE MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT was thirty-eight when this PORTRAIT portrait by John Opie was painted in 1797. He had known Mary for some years, and admired and Penelope Wilton sympathised with her, which I think shows in the painting. I suppose her face could be described as handsome rather than pretty or beautiful.
