Adjustable Wrench dates from 1987 and comes from a body of work that reflects an array of influences ranging from Bartók and Philip Glass to Chaka Khan and the Talking Heads. • Torke originally composed this piece for a chamber ensemble of 15 players divided into three groups, each comprised of four instruments paired with a keyboard instrument: woodwinds with piano, brass with marimba, and strings with a synthesizer. The composer however, adapted the score to make it suitable for an orchestra by allowing the string parts to be performed by multiple musicians.

    Lou Bellamy 2006 Distinguished Artist

    Lou Bellamy 2006 Distinguished Artist Lou Bellamy 2006 Distinguished Artist The McKnight Foundation Introduction spotlight is a funny thing. It holds great potential to expose and clarify whatever lies within its glowing circle—but for that to happen, eyes outside the pool of light must be focused Aon what’s unfolding within. Theater gains meaning only through the community that generates, participates in, and witnesses it. For McKnight Distinguished Artist Lou Bellamy and his Penumbra Theatre Company, using one’s talents to connect important messages to community is what art is all about. Bellamy believes that theater’s purpose is to focus the community’s attention and engage people in the issues we face together. He relishes the opportunity life has presented to him: to work in an African American neighborhood and develop art responsive to that neighborhood, while presenting ideas that are universal enough to encourage a world of diverse neighborhoods to take notice. This is not a spectator sport. Bellamy is a strong proponent of active art, art driven to do something. Ideally, audience members should see what’s onstage and listen to the message, then carry that message with them when they leave the theater. “You put all these people in a room,” he has said, “turn out the lights, and make them all look at one thing. You’ve got something powerful in that room.” More than 40,000 people experience that power annually, in Penumbra’s 265-seat theater in St. Paul. Universal messages are not crafted through European American templates only, and Bellamy recognizes that presenting a multifaceted reality means showing all the rays of light that pass through it.

    A Sourcebook on Feminist Theatre and Performance: on and Beyond the Stage/Edited by Carol Martin; with an Introduction by Jill Dolan

    A SOURCEBOOK OF FEMINIST THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE A Sourcebook of Feminist Theatre and Performance brings together key articles first published in The Drama Review (TDR), to provide an intriguing overview of the development of feminist theatre and performance. Divided into the categories of “history,” “theory,” “interviews,” and “texts,” the materials in this collection allow the reader to consider the developments of feminist theatre through a variety of perspectives. This book contains the seminal texts of theorists such as Elin Diamond, Peggy Phelan, and Lynda Hart, interviews with performance artists including Anna Deveare Smith and Robbie McCauley, and the full performance texts of Holly Hughes’ Dress Suits to Hire and Karen Finley’s The Constant State of Desire. The outstanding diversity of this collection makes for an invaluable sourcebook. A Sourcebook of Feminist Theatre and Performance will be read by students and practitioners of theatre and performance, as well as those interested in the performance of sexualities and genders. Carol Martin is Assistant Professor of Drama at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. WORLDS OF PERFORMANCE What is a “performance”? Where does it take place? Who are the participants? Not so long ago these were settled questions, but today such orthodox answers are unsatisfactory, misleading, and limiting. “Performance” as a theoretical category and as a practice has expanded explosively. It now comprises a panoply of genres ranging from play, to popular entertainments, to theatre, dance, and music, to secular and religious rituals, to “performance in everyday life,” to intercultural experiments, and more. For nearly forty years, The Drama Review (TDR), the journal of performance studies, has been at the cutting edge of exploring these questions.

    Identifying the Endgame

    Theater Bruce Nauman’s Green Light Corridor (1970), in Move: Choreographing You, the Hayward Gallery, London, 2010. Photo: Alastair Muir Published by Duke University Press Theater Thomas F. DeFrantz Identifying the Endgame What’s an Audience or a Public? To think carefully about the possibilities of curatorial practice in relation to the emer- gence of audiences and publics, we surely come back to questions of demographics, social relations, and cultural assumptions. In the context of the United States, the pro- liferation of new performance forms in the 1960s and the establishment of national institutions to administer them in the 1980s led us to discuss these sorts of markers as identity politics and to speak of multicultural programming. We tended to assume the presence of a white masculine audience, artist, and object that would be circulated in the name of art; our progressive politics told us that those majority stakeholders could pos- sibly be augmented by small numbers of audiences of color in relation to a black artist or a white woman artist. These incursions would somehow demonstrate a brief diversity of creative exercise. This sort of programming lasted all the way to the new millennium — did it ever stop? — in performance seasons with one black artist or with visual artist lineups that included a white women’s moment among the men. At times, queer white men might be identified as gay, allowing them presence as alternative artists/publics, and also allowing the overexposure that men always have in the world. Obviously, this approach to curating as though the audience or public were mostly white, peppered with a little bit of color at times, failed.
