Mabou Mines Dollhouse NEWS Press Contact: Rachel Joyce 612.375.7635 [email protected] Online Press Room: http://press.walkerart.org WALKER ART CENTER PRESENTS LEGENDARY EXPERIMENTAL THEATER COMPANY MABOU MINES’ OBIE AWARD-WINNING MABOU MINES DOLLHOUSE “The whole experience is so fascinating—thrilling here, confounding there—that it must be seen.” —New York Times Minneapolis, October 14, 2005—Legendary experimental theater company Mabou Mines returns to the Walker Art Center with the Obie Award–winning Mabou Mines DollHouse, vanguard director Lee Breuer’s beautifully radical and unpredictable adaptation of the Ibsen classic, on Wednesday–Saturday, November 9–12, at 8 pm, and Saturday–Sunday, November 12–13, at 2 pm, in the William and Nadine McGuire Theater. Still shockingly relevant, this tale of a suffocating marriage and the growing 19th-century feminist consciousness is viewed through an upended prism of proportion and scale: literally manifesting the power struggles in the work, the male actors are no taller than four feet, while the Mabou Mines DollHouse Photo: Richard Termine female actors tower at six feet plus. Presented with a deft touch of magical and psychological realism, this doll’s house is transformed from bourgeois tragedy into cutting comedy with a deep and poignant bite, replete with a chorus of marionettes. Contains brief nudity. Directly following the Friday, November 11, performance, Mabou Mines director Lee Breuer and Walker senior curator Philip Bither will participate in a post-performance discussion. Mabou Mines, an avant-garde theater company established in 1970 and based in New York City, emphasizes the creation of new work from original texts and the use of existing texts staged from a specific point of view. Over the years, members of the company have included JoAnne Akalaitis, William Raymond, Greg Mehrten, Ellen McElduff, L.B. Dallas, Philip Glass, and David Warrilow, along with the present company members: Lee Breuer, Ruth Maleczech, Frederick Neumann, Terry O’Reilly, Sharon Fogarty, and Julie Archer. The company’s collaborations with such composers as Glass, Lenny Picket, Bob Telson, John Zorn, MABOU MINES DOLLHOUSE NO. 96 1 Pauline Oliveros, and David Byrne, as well as esteemed visual artists, comprise a unique collaborative history. The composition of the company is the result of years of shared work in the United States and abroad. The six members comprise the present artistic directorate, making all decisions concerning repertory and touring; function as actors, writers, designers, and technicians; and serve as the producers of each season as well as members of the Board of Directors. Mabou Mines was named after a community in Nova Scotia near which the founding members of the company (Akalaitis, Breuer, Maleczech, Glass, and Warrilow) created The Red Horse Animation in 1970. In the past three decades, Mabou Mines has produced eight pieces by Samual Beckett, six of which have been world premieres of texts not originally written for the theater. Lee Breuer Company founding member Breuer’s most recent work with Mabou Mines is as director ofRed Beads, Animal Magnetism, and Peter and Wendy, which won five OBIE Awards, a Drama League Award, and an American Mabou Mines DollHouse Theater Wing Award. In 1990, he adapted and directed Mabou Mines Photo: Richard Termine Lear—a gender reversed production of King Lear. In the early 1970s, he adapted and directed three works by Beckett for Mabou Mines—Play, Come and Go, and The Lost Ones—all of which received OBIEs. He is the author and director of Mabou Mines’ trilogy Animations, including The B. Beaver, The Red Horse, and The Shaggy Dog Animation. The Shaggy Dog was awarded the OBIE for Best Play in 1978. In 1980 his play A Prelude to a Death in Venice received OBIEs for both his direction and his script. He also wrote Hajj for Mabou Mines, which opened at The Public Theater and toured in the U.S., Japan, Brazil, Korea, and Russia. His theater work outside Mabou Mines includes The Tempest for Joseph Papp’s Shakespeare in the Park, and Lulu for Robert Brustein’s American Repertory Theater, as well as his music-theater collaborations as author and director with composer Bob Telson. These include Sister Suzie Cinema, which premiered at The Public Theater and was televised on the PBS series Alive From Off Center; and The Gospel at Colonus, (adapted from Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus), a co-commission of the Walker Art Center which premiered at The Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Next Wave Festival, and was performed on Broadway at The Lunt-Fontanne Theater in 1988. Breuer was nominated for a Tony Award for the book. Gospel was televised on the PBS series Great Performances. It received numerous awards, including the 1984 OBIE Best Musical and the ASCAP Popular Music Award. Breuer and Telson’s most recent collaboration was The Warrior Ant, which ran at Alice Tully Hall and at The Harvey at Brooklyn Academy of Music. Breuer’s published work includes La Divina Caricatura (Green Integer Press), Animations: A Trilogy for Mabou Mines (Performing Arts Journal Publication), Sister Suzie Cinema: The collected Poems and Performances MABOU MINES DOLLHOUSE NO. 96 2 1976-1986 (Theater Communications Group Publications), inclusion of A Prelude to Death in Venice in TCGs New Plays USA 1, and The Gospel at Colonus (TCG).

He was a Japan-United States Friendship Commission exchange fellow and delivered the opening address of the Beckett Chair at Trinity College in Dublin. He also received a Fulbright Fellowship for theater studies in India. He was co-chairman of the directing department at Yale School of Drama from 1986-1989 and was on the faculty at Stanford University until Mabou Mines DollHouse Photo: Richard Termine 1999.In 1997 he was awarded a fellowship from the John D. and Catherine T.

    March 21, 2011 CLOTH AND WOOD COME TO LIFE WHEN THE ANNENBERG CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS PRESENTS THE PHILADELPHIA PREMIERE OF BASIL TWIST’S PETRUSHKA April 6—16, 2011 "Brilliantly imagined, wonderfully expressive, and breathtakingly realized" New York Magazine (Philadelphia, March 21, 2011) — Cloth and wood come to life when the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts presents the Philadelphia premiere of Petrushka, conceived, designed and directed by Basil Twist, April 6-16, 2011. A tour-de-force of music, movement, design and storytelling, Petrushka is a puppet- theatre version of the legendary 1911 Ballets Russes production Petrouchka, the story of a tragic love triangle between three magical creatures; the lovesick clown Petrushka, the alluring Ballerina and the dashing Moor, whose stories emerge amidst the swirl of the Russian carnival. For tickets or for more information, please visit AnnenbergCenter.org or call 215.898.3900. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Annenberg Center Box Office. The program begins with an abstract fantasia of puppetry set to Stravinsky's Sonata for Two Pianos, performed by Russian identical twin pianists Julia and Irina Elkina. After a brief pause, the trio of puppets takes the stage and the Elkina Sisters perform their own special two-piano arrangement of Stravinsky’s score based on the composer’s four-hand version of the piece. Nine hidden puppeteers dressed and hooded in black – Lindsay Abromaitis-Smith, Kate Brehm, Jenni Campbell, Kristen Kammermeyer, Keri Lewis, Jonothon Lyons, Marc Petrosino, Lake Simons and Christopher Williams – employ the puppetry technique Japanese Bunraku to bring the four feet tall puppets to life.

The tradition continues in a collaboration with Trick Saddle and the 45-year old company. The two companies combine forces in the world premiere of “Imagining the Imaginary Invalid,” inspired by “The Imaginary Invalid,” Moliere’s piercing satiric take on the pretension, gullibility and vulnerability of we poor mortals. Presented by La MaMa, a production of Mabou Mines and Trick Saddle, the play runs January 21-February 7 at La MaMa’s Ellen Stewart Theatre. Conceived in 2012 by the beloved late actress/director Ruth Maleczech, one of the cofounders of the tradition-bending troupe, and her daughter Clove Galilee, Trick Saddle Co-Artistic Director and a Mabou Mines Associate Artist , who serves as the show’s director and choreographer, the radically reimagined and reworked classic has original text by Valeria Vasilevski and is adapted by Trick Saddle Co-Artistic Director Jenny Rogers.

    Access Provided by University Of Texas-San Antonio at 04/22/11 3:28PM GMT Introduction Jonathan P. Eburne and Rita Felski hat is an avant-garde? In posing such a question, this is- sue of New Literary History seeks to reexamine a category that Woften seems all too self-evident. Our aim is not to draw up a fresh list of definitions, specifications, and prescriptions but to explore the conditions and repercussions of the question itself. In the spirit of analogously titled queries—from Kant’s “What is Enlightenment?” to Foucault’s “What is an Author?”—we hope to spur reflection not only on a particular object of study but also on the frameworks and critical faculties that we bring to bear on it. As Paul Mann notes, every critical text on the avant-garde, whether tacitly or overtly, “has a stake in the avant-garde, in its force or destruction, in its survival or death (or both).”1 A reassessment of these stakes is one of the priorities of this special issue. Narratives of the avant-garde abound. Whether they come to bury the avant-garde or to praise it, these narratives are typically organized around moments of shock, rupture, and youthful revolt that speak to certain beliefs about the functions of experimental art and the nature of historical change. In his 1968 Theory of the Avant-Garde, for instance, Renato Poggioli describes two major phases in the development of the avant-garde. The first stage is anchored in the leftist politics of the 1840s and the 1870s, where the notion of an advanced guard serves to authorize the political agitations and underground activities that helped trigger the revolutionary events of 1848 and the Paris Commune.

    Reading Contemporary Performance As the nature of contemporary performance continues to expand into new forms, genres and media, it requires an increasingly diverse vocabulary. Reading Contemporary Performance provides students, critics and creators with a rich understanding of the key terms and ideas that are central to any discussion of this evolving theatricality. Specially commissioned entries from a wealth of contributors map out the many and varied ways of discussing performance in all of its forms – from theatrical and site-specic performances to live and New Media art. e book is divided into two sections: • Concepts – key terms and ideas arranged according to the ve characteristic elements of performance art: time, space, action, performer, and audience. • Methodologies and turning points – the seminal theories and ways of reading performance, such as postmodernism, epic theatre, feminisms, happenings, and animal studies. Entries in both sections are accompanied by short case studies of specic performances and events, demonstrating creative examples of the ideas and issues in question. ree dierent introductory essays provide multiple entry points into the discussion of contemporary performance, and cross-references for each entry encourage the ploing of one’s own pathway.
