  • Stage Violence, Power and the Director an Examination
    STAGE VIOLENCE, POWER AND THE DIRECTOR AN EXAMINATION OF THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF CRUELTY FROM ANTONIN ARTAUD TO SARAH KANE by Jordan Matthew Walsh Bachelor of Philosophy, University of Pittsburgh, 2012 Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Pittsburgh in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. The University of Pittsburgh May 2012 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH ARTS & SCIENCES This thesis was presented by Jordan Matthew Walsh It was defended on April 13th, 2012 and approved by Jesse Berger, Artistic Director, Red Bull Theater Company Cynthia Croot, Assistant Professor, Theatre Arts Department Annmarie Duggan, Assistant Professor, Theatre Arts Department Dr. Lisa Jackson-Schebetta, Assistant Professor, Theatre Arts Department 2 Copyright © by Jordan Matthew Walsh 2012 3 STAGE VIOLENCE AND POWER: AN EXAMINATION OF THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF CRUELTY FROM ANTONIN ARTAUD TO SARAH KANE Jordan Matthew Walsh, BPhil University of Pittsburgh, 2012 This exploration of stage violence is aimed at grappling with the moral, theoretical and practical difficulties of staging acts of extreme violence on stage and, consequently, with the impact that these representations have on actors and audience. My hypothesis is as follows: an act of violence enacted on stage and viewed by an audience can act as a catalyst for the coming together of that audience in defense of humanity, a togetherness in the act of defying the truth mimicked by the theatrical violence represented on stage, which has the potential to stir the latent power of the theatre communion. I have used the theoretical work of Antonin Artaud, especially his “Theatre of Cruelty,” and the works of Peter Brook, Jerzy Grotowski, and Sarah Kane in conversation with Artaud’s theories as a prism through which to investigate my hypothesis.

  • The Role of the Theatre Audience: a Theory of Production and Reception
    THE ROLE OF THE THEATRE AUDIENCE THE ROLE OF THE THEATRE AUDIENCE: A THEORY OF PRODUCTION AND RECEPTION By SUSAN BENNETT, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Parial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University January 1988 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1988) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Role of the Theatre Audience: A Theory of Production and Reception AUTHOR: Susan Bennett, B.A. (University of Kent at Canterbury) M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Linda Hutcheon NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 389 ii ABSTRACT Th thesis examines the reception of theatrical performanc by their audience. Its starting points are (i) Brech s dramatic theory and practice, and (ii) theories 0 reading. These indicate the main emphases of the th ,is--theoretical approaches and performance practices, rather than the more usual recourse to dramatic ;xts. Beyond Brecht and reader-response criticism, other studies of viewing are explored. Both semiotics lnd post-structuralism have stimulated an intensity )f interest in theatrical communication and such inves ~gations provide an important impetus for my work. In suggesting a theory of reception in the theatre, examine _theatre's cultural status and the assumption underlying what we recognize as the theatrical event. The selection of a particular performanc is explored and from this, it is suggested that there _s an inevitable, inextricable link between the produc ~ve and receptive processes. The theory then looks to lore immediate aspects of the performance, including 1e theatre building (its geographic location, architectu 11 style, etc.), the performance itself, and the post-p :formance rituals of theatre-going.

  • The Dismembered Body in Antonin Artaud's Surrealist Plays
    CHAPTER TWO THE DISMEMBERED BODY IN ANTONIN ARTAUD’S SURREALIST PLAYS THOMAS CROMBEZ In two of his surrealist plays, Antonin Artaud inserted a scene where human limbs rain down on the stage. The beginning of Le Jet de sang (The Spurt of Blood, 1925) features a young couple pathetically declaring their love for one another, when suddenly a hurricane bursts, two stars collide, and “a series of legs of living flesh fall down, together with feet, hands, heads of hair, masks, colonnades, portals, temples, and distilling flasks”1 (Artaud 1976a, 71). In a later scenario prepared for the Theatre of Cruelty project, La Conquête du Mexique (The Conquest of Mexico, 1933), the volley of human limbs is echoed almost verbatim. Human limbs, cuirasses, heads, and bellies fall down from all levels of the stage set, like a hailstorm that bombards the earth with supernatural explosions.2 (Artaud 1979, 23) These literal and, according to the theatrical conventions of the day, almost unstageable instances of “dismemberment in drama” point to a distinctive characteristic of Artaud’s work. He seemed to strive for a purely mental drama, to be staged for the enjoyment of the mind’s eye. The distinctly appropriative method he employed to write his mental play- texts may be labeled, borrowing an expression from Alfred Jarry studies, as “the systematically wrong style” (Jarry 1972, 1158). This expression has already proven its worth as the most concise term for Jarry’s linguistically grotesque plays, composed of Shakespearean drama, vulgar talk, heraldic language, archaisms, and corny schoolboy humor. The first part of my essay considers why the standard poststructuralist interpretation of Artaud’s œuvre is unable to provide a strictly literal reading of the human body parts that litter the stage.

  • Islamic State & the Theatre of Cruelty

[..]It may sound unlikely, but ISIS is carrying out in extremis the program of the “theatre of cruelty” of the influential French dramaturge- demiurge Antonin Artaud." - Joji Sakurai for Yale Global "Artaud, a sickly child twisted further by the shock of World War I, wanted his actors to “assault the senses” of the audience, shocking parts of the psyche that other theatrical methods had failed to reach. Well, IS has read the book. It’s been obvious since September 11 that we’re living in an age of vicious political theater. That’s what “terrorism” is: the manipulation of large populations by shock and awe and “liberating unconscious emotions”" -Hugh Prysor-Jones for Chronicles Magazine 3 Index Introduction..............................................................................................................................p.5 Chapter 1 - Hypothesis and methodology................................................................................p.7

  • Edge of a Pine Forest Signed in Cyrillic and Dated ‘1884’ (Lower Right) Graphite and Charcoal on Paper 32.5 X 46.5 Cm (12¾ X 18¼ In)
    Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin (Elabuga 1832 - St. Petersburg 1898) Edge of a Pine Forest signed in Cyrillic and dated ‘1884’ (lower right) graphite and charcoal on paper 32.5 x 46.5 cm (12¾ x 18¼ in) Edge of a Pine Forest is an excellent example of Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin’s later depictions of forests. The naturalistic treatment and glimpses of unfolding vistas are characteristic of his style during the 1880s. Shishkin considered drawing to be an important branch of art. At this time the lines in his drawings are elastic and mobile, sometimes flowing, light and wavy, whilst at other times resilient and strong. He uses black lead in a light, free style but his pencil strokes are more animated and varied. Shishkin used a combination of pencil, charcoal, graphite and white chalk, which allowed him to achieve softer effects and a finer gradation of tone. Over forty years of artistic activity, Shishkin produced hundreds of paintings, numerous studies and drawings, and a large number of engravings. Many of these concerned forests and trees. An oil painting created a few years after the drawing, Forest in Mordvinovo (1891, State Museum and Exhibition Centre ROSIZO, Moscow), illustrates Shishkin’s use of an alternative medium to treat the same subject. Shishkin considered studies to be an integral part of the creative process, based on continual observation and reflection. The resulting level of detail does not detract from the unity of the picture, but contributes to a carefully thought out composition and the harmonious use of light colours. The present drawing was executed by Shishkin specifically for a project to demonstrate the potential of photogravure as a printing method.

  • Avant Garde Vs. Moderism
    Barrett 1 Mike Barrett 21G.031 Professor Scribner 20 March 2003 Conflict and Resolution of Modernism and the Historical Avant-garde The historical avant-garde and the modernist movement have fundamental differences in both their conceptions of art and its role in the greater scheme of society. While the avant-garde uses drastic new ideas to express and reinforce dramatic political and social changes, modernism attempts to celebrate modern society without connecting artwork back to life. Where the avant-garde and modernism meet, they exist in a symbiotic relationship, with the avant-garde pulling modernism to new thresholds of social progress. The dialectic of the two creates conflict which moves society in a progressive direction, but the resolution keeps humanity connected with the constant social progress of modernity. Modernism’s rise in the twentieth century brought about a preoccupation with form and formalism in society. Modern society evolves through market expansion and appropriation of new technologies, and modern art glorifies this trend without putting it in a social or political context. The focus on mechanization and technology creates a situation where humanity is left only the option of plugging in, or being hopelessly lost in the maelstrom of modernity (Berman 26, 27). High modernism promoted “rigid polarities and flat totalizations” as seen in artwork of that period (Berman 23, 24). Modernist painting stressed the difference between art and life, focusing on the awareness of paint on the canvas rather than an accurate or evocative view on the natural 1 Barrett 2 world. Trends in modernism are towards mechanization and the “machine aesthetic,” and away from concerns of social life (Berman 26).
