SOUND ARCHIVE COLLECTION GUIDES DRAMA AND LITERATURE www.bl.uk/soundarchive Experimental Theatre and Live Art Between 1985 and 1995 the Sound Archive made video recordings of performances from the London International Festival of Theatre, Barclays New Stages and the ICA Theatre. More recently, digital video documentation of performances of fringe theatre and live art has taken place at London venues such as Battersea Arts Centre and the Chelsea Theatre. In addition, a number of recordings have been donated by performers and video makers. Together with related television material recorded off air, these recordings form one of the country's most comprehensive publicly accessible resources for the study of contemporary creative practice in British and international theatre. Companies and performers represented include Forced Entertainment, Marina Abramovic, Ron Athey, Bobby Baker, Desperate Optimists, Gloria, Goat Island, Annie Griffin, David Hoyle, Holly Hughes, Lumière & Son, Moti Roti, Reckless Sleepers, Station House Opera and the Wooster Group. What follows is a rough guide only to British Library documentation of a performance sector with ever fluid and contended boundaries. If a venue is listed the item is in most cases a unique live recording made by the British Library. Items listed are videos except where shaded. These are audio only recordings.

COURSE OVERVIEW This seminar course will explore the American Avant-Garde Theatre of the 1960’s and 1970’s, and its enduring significance. It will include an examination of the political, social, economic, and aesthetic events that led to its beginnings, and will follow the journey of its passionate creativity and diversity of expression, as well as the political upheavals and the cultural revolution that were inextricably a part of it. Readings will include the work of Gertrude Stein, Allen Ginsberg, The Living Theatre, The Open Theater, The Performance Group, Richard Foreman’s Ontological-Hysteric Company, Charles Ludlam’s Ridiculous Theatrical Company, Mabou Mines, and others.

  • Contemporary American Playwriting the Issue of Legacy

    Contemporary American Playwriting the Issue of Legacy

    CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN PLAYWRITING The Issue of Legacy Jason Grote, Caridad Svich, and Anne Washburn in conversation with Ken Urban espite proclamations to the contrary, there is a surge of new writing in the American theatre. Not plays masquerading as films or TV shows, but seri- ous plays written by writers with a passionate commitment to the stage. DBut since this new generation of theatre artists is less centralized than previous ones, working in cities and towns across the U.S., it is hard to talk about a specific movement or scene. For those working in New York City, Off-Off Broadway no longer adequately describes the theatre that these playwrights create. Such writers do not want to be defined in relation to Broadway, for Broadway ceased to be a venue for adventurous new writing decades ago. This conversation is an attempt by four playwrights to define some of the identifying characteristics and concerns of this new writing. The starting point is the issue of legacy: How do the historical avant-garde, the Language Playwrights of the 1970s and 80s (Mac Wellman, Jeffrey Jones, Len Jenkin), and the classics influence contemporary playwriting? To gain a better sense of what is happening now, it proves beneficial to look back. The conversation featured Jason Grote, Caridad Svich, and Anne Washburn. Jason Grote is the recipient of the 2006 P73 Playwriting Fellowship and co-chair of the SoHo Rep Writer/Director Lab. He is writing The Wal-Mart Plays for the Working Theater in New York. Caridad Svich is a resident playwright at New Dramatists and editor of Trans-Global Readings: Crossing Theatrical Boundaries and Divine Fire: Eight Contemporary Plays Inspired by the Greeks.

    What Ever Happened to In-Yer-Face Theatre?

    What Ever Happened to in-yer-face theatre? Aleks SIERZ (Theatre Critic and Visiting Research Fellow, Rose Bruford College) “I have one ambition – to write a book that will hold good for ten years afterwards.” Cyril Connolly, Enemies of Promise • Tuesday, 23 February 1999; Brixton, south London; morning. A Victorian terraced house in a road with no trees. Inside, a cloud of acrid dust rises from the ground floor. Two workmen are demolishing the wall that separates the dining room from the living room. They sweat; they curse; they sing; they laugh. The floor is covered in plaster, wooden slats, torn paper and lots of dust. Dust hangs in the air. Upstairs, Aleks is hiding from the disruption. He is sitting at his desk. His partner Lia is on a train, travelling across the city to deliver a lecture at the University of East London. Suddenly, the phone rings. It’s her. And she tells him that Sarah Kane is dead. She’s just seen the playwright’s photograph in the newspaper and read the story, straining to see over someone’s shoulder. Aleks immediately runs out, buys a newspaper, then phones playwright Mark Ravenhill, a friend of Kane’s. He gets in touch with Mel Kenyon, her agent. Yes, it’s true: Kane, who suffered from depression for much of her life, has committed suicide. She is just twenty-eight years old. Her celebrity status, her central role in the history of contemporary British theatre, is attested by the obituaries published by all the major newspapers. Aleks returns to his desk.

    Note on Contributors Note on Contributors Sofia Apospori is currently a PhD candidate at Royal Holloway, University of London. Her research, which is supervised by Professor Helen Nicholson and advised by Dr. Colette Conroy, explores theatre for people with visual impairments. More specifically, it engages with the theoretical, aesthetic and ethical challenges that are implicated by the re-evaluation of performance space in reference to visual and non-visual perception respectively. Over the last two years, Sofia has been a visiting tutor in the Department of Drama and Theatre Studies, teaching Writing and Performance and Staging Histories. She holds a BA in Drama and Theatre Studies and an MA in Theatre (Applied Drama), both of which were awarded by Royal Holloway, University of London. Beatriz Cantinho is presently developing practice based research work as a PhD student in Dance/Philsophy at the Edinburgh College of Art. Her work focuses mainly on the mechanisms of image perception within aesthetics and performance art. The academic research as been presented at Edinburgh University, Chelsea College of Art, Cambridge University and the University of Surrey. Beatriz graduated from the Superior School of Dance at Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa. She took an intensive training course in Noh Theatre at the Kyoto Art Centre. She has completed a professional internship in the theatre company Royal de Luxe. Artistically for the past few years she has been developing work as a choreographer in projects such as Parde2, Scch…Um Ensaio Sobre o Silêncio, and Peça Veloz Corpo Volátil. She has also been involved in collaborative projects with artists from different disciplines with work that has been presented in Portugal, France, the UK, Germany, and Austria.

  • A Case Study of the 2008 European Capital of Culture, Liverpool

    A Case Study of the 2008 European Capital of Culture, Liverpool

    Article The Cultural Legacy of a Major Event: A Case Study of the 2008 European Capital of Culture, Liverpool Yi-De Liu Graduate Institute of European Cultures and Tourism, National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei 106, Taiwan; [email protected] Received: 23 June 2019; Accepted: 26 July 2019; Published: 26 July 2019 Abstract: Cultural legacy is a relatively neglected theme in event and sustainability studies, compared to economic or physical legacies with solid evidence. This article focuses on the experience of Liverpool as the 2008 European Capital of Culture. An evaluation ten years on can provide the basis for research on the long-term cultural legacy of a major event, as well as how to achieve sustainability through legacy planning. Five dimensions of cultural legacy are explored, including: Cultural agency and strategies, cultural network, cultural provision, cultural engagement, and cultural image. The results of the study show that the spill-over effect of culture can be achieved through thorough legacy planning. The most important lesson learned from Liverpool is to integrate the event into the city’s long-term and culture-led development, which yields a healthy and productive cultural climate. Keywords: event sustainability; cultural legacy; legacy planning; European Capital of Culture; Liverpool 1. Introduction In view of the economic, social and cultural impacts, more and more cities are competing to host major events. However, due to the short-lived and one-off nature, the event itself may not be sustainable. The sustainability of major events, or their legacy or long-term impact, has been the focus of discussion in recent years.
