  • Mattingly Final(Numbered)
    Set in Motion: Dance Criticism and the Choreographic Apparatus By Kate Mattingly A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies and the Designated Emphasis in New Media in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair Professor Abigail De Kosnik Professor Anton Kaes Professor SanSan Kwan Spring 2017 Copyright © Kate Mattingly All Rights Reserved Abstract Set in Motion: Dance Criticism and the Choreographic Apparatus By Kate Mattingly Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies Designated Emphasis in New Media University of California, Berkeley Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair This dissertation examines the multiple functions of dance criticism in the 20th and 21st centuries in the United States. I foreground institutional interdependencies that shape critics’ practices, as well as criticism’s role in approaches to dance-making, and the necessary and fraught relations between dance criticism and higher education. To challenge the pervasive image of the critic as evaluator and of criticism as definitive, Set in Motion focuses on conditions that produce and endorse certain forms of criticism, and in turn how this writing has gained traction. I employ the concept of a choreographic apparatus to show shifting relations amongst writers, artists, publications, readers, institutions, and audiences. Their interactions generate frameworks that influence dance’s history, canon, and disciplinary formations. I propose a way of situating criticism as a form of writing that intersects with, informs, and influences both history and theory. Set in Motion expands discourse on writing by examining the continuities and discontinuities in practices over the course of a century.

  • NEWS from the JEROME ROBBINS FOUNDATION VOL. 6, NO. 3 (2019) in the Company of Harold Prince at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts
    NEWS FROM THE JEROME ROBBINS FOUNDATION VOL. 6, NO. 3 (2019) In the Company of Harold Prince at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts Donald and Mary Oenslager Gallery Through March 31, 2020 Few people did more to define the American musical today than Harold “Hal” Prince. His resume included some of the most important titles of the past cen- tury: West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, Cabaret, Company, Sweeney Todd, and Phantom of the Opera. In the new free exhibition In the Company of Harold Prince: Broadway Producer, Director, Collaborator, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts explores Prince’s creative trajectory, and showcases the team of designers, stage managers, press agents, composers, and writers he assembled to create so many history-making shows. Curated by Doug Reside, the Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Curator of the Library’s Billy Rose Theatre Division, the exhibition displays original costumes, set models, and archival video, and borrows from the aesthetic of immersive theatre, inviting visitors to pick up, examine and interact with reproductions of documents and objects from the Library’s unparalleled collections. Facsimiles of the paperwork for The Pajama Game and Damn Yankees are scattered over a recreation of Prince’s desk for visitors to look through. Digital recreations of stage manager Ruth Mitchell’s scripts are linked to thousands of never-before-seen photographs from the Library’s collections. The exhibition ends with an open cabaret stage, allowing visitors to perform songs from his shows or record their own stories about their experience with Prince’s theatrical work.
