The Editorial Board of The Open Page Publications has always been driven by the need to encourage theatre women to record their experiences of making work, whether within the context of a group or working alone. The thirteen volumes of The Open Page journals and three books, the latest of which is this Future Conditional - Notes for Tomorrow, have given us much more than we asked for: personal stories, notes on significant influences, practice, pedagogy and, frequently, reflections on the perplexing question of how to pass knowledge and experience on to another group or generation of women. The Open Page has woven together the threads of different women’s lives through and across time and different conti- nents. In particular we have enjoyed celebrating the work of women who have survived whilst always seeming to be swimming against the current. There is a coherent development from the early Magdalena Project Newsletters, which consisted of short articles and announcements of upcoming events, to The Open Page, in which we explored subjects more deeply and stimulated first-time writers to publish alongside more experienced practi- tioners. The shift from the Newsletter to The Open Page came about naturally in the same way as going from journals to books, from articles to longer essays has done. Twenty-five years of work with the Editorial Board has given us the opportunity to develop our own writing and to keep an ongoing critical and constructive dialogue amongst ourselves and with the other contributors. In the last few years, for different reasons and in different ways, we have found ourselves deeply affected by thoughts of tomorrow and the place of the future in our current work. In the process of making this book we discovered that we had chosen a difficult theme - something many of the authors reflect upon. Future Conditional - Notes for Tomorrow is an anthology of essays, poetry and articles, short and long. The common aim, expressed in individual ways, is to articulate hopes and fears, demands and aspirations for a future that we share with each other, while also remembering the women who have walked before us.

Gale Future Thinking Like others whose work is in this volume, the task of writing down thoughts about the future has been remarkably difficult: I have resisted writing my contribution for some time. The future feels bleak in many respects and the world feels like a place in a great deal of trouble! I am a historian. We write about the past. We construct ‘versions’ of the past in our writing. We bring imagination to fact. We work on a balance between ideas, hunches, nostalgia, memory and data. If I am being honest, I don’t want to have to write about the ‘future’: the ‘future’ feels insecure. However you look at it, things are not great in terms of ecology, escalations of armed conflict, psychotic or mega- lomaniacal presidents, social and economic inequality. And in the area where I work, things are not looking good in terms of educational provision. There is an overwhelming feeling of ‘the end of things’ in the air: the end of good times, the end of plenty, the end of the ‘known quantity’, of the familiarity of things around us; the end of political sanity, and not just because of the situa- tion in the middle east, or the recent Brexit vote in the UK and the US elections. Future time I am in my early fifties. My hair is going white and my bones creak in new and strange ways, many of which are none too welcome. If I feel like this now - how will I feel in five years, ten years, twenty years or maybe even thirty years? Or maybe five is more than I will get. When I was young I spent a lot of time thinking about the future, in quite concrete terms - I will do this, then I will do that, then maybe I could do the other. Now, I often fantasise about a future where I do only my favourite things, but all of the time - reading, poking about in the garden pretending that I know what I am doing, making things - knitting, sewing, writing - lying around watching old films in my pajamas, travelling, visiting friends, the sea, museums and art galleries, going to the theatre - but only ever seeing performances that will move me and stay with me forever - cooking food for friends, playing with grandchildren, having dogs again, swimming… In this future I will have had enough of ‘work’ - no more meetings, no more difficult colleagues, no more problems to solve, no more sinking feeling when I sit down to a computer screen - maybe no computer screen at all? Here simply speaking, life will be my work and I can bring my ‘work skills’ to use where needed or where I see fit. 8 9 Maggie B. Gale Future Conditional - Notes for Tomorrow This is a future imagined in the here and now though, as a response to my own being funded. Our Arts Council, the UK’s main subsidy body, until recently paid sense of feeling unsettled in the present. I am in a well-paid job where I have some reviewers to review shows that they had already funded - to make sure the work is status, I have a lovely, clever, and funny partner, I have two great kids - young men good - and that they were right to fund it in the first place. If it is not good then… who are tall and strong - one son who has just gone off to do a seven-year course at well it may not be funded again, or, in fact, it may be. It depends on who looks university and another who is sixteen, funny, thoughtful and a bit at odds with the at the funding form. I recently was told confidentially, by an arts officer for the world - like his mum. I have a deadline on a book that I don’t really want to write Arts Council, that if an application for funding ticked certain boxes then it didn’t - the research is sometimes exciting, mind-boggling, surprising, thought-provoking really matter about the projected content of the work - it would get funding. I - but how to put all of this into a book? And a book that I suspect, in reality, very would be giving it away to say here what the tick-box categories might be, suffice few people will read? But now I have a contract and a submission date with a to say they are generated by the most bizarre criteria which place theatre as one of publisher and so… I have to write it and maybe you will be one of the few who many tools in the toolbox of social engineering.

    Writing to Reach You: The Consumer Music Press and Music Journalism in the UK and Australia Marc Brennan, BA (Hons) Creative Industries Research and Applications Centre (CIRAC) Thesis Submitted for the Completion of Doctor of Philosophy (Creative Industries), 2005 Writing to Reach You Keywords Journalism, Performance, Readerships, Music, Consumers, Frameworks, Publishing, Dialogue, Genre, Branding Consumption, Production, Internet, Customisation, Personalisation, Fragmentation Writing to Reach You: The Consumer Music Press and Music Journalism in the UK and Australia The music press and music journalism are rarely subjected to substantial academic investigation. Analysis of journalism often focuses on the production of news across various platforms to understand the nature of politics and public debate in the contemporary era. But it is not possible, nor is it necessary, to analyse all emerging forms of journalism in the same way for they usually serve quite different purposes. Music journalism, for example, offers consumer guidance based on the creation and maintenance of a relationship between reader and writer. By focusing on the changing aspects of this relationship, an analysis of music journalism gives us an understanding of the changing nature of media production, media texts and media readerships. Music journalism is dialogue. It is a dialogue produced within particular critical frameworks that speak to different readers of the music press in different ways. These frameworks are continually evolving and reflect the broader social trajectory in which music journalism operates. Importantly, the evolving nature of music journalism reveals much about the changing consumption of popular music. Different types of consumers respond to different types of guidance that employ a variety of critical approaches.

    ODIN TEATRET, 55 YEARS E‐ISSN 2237‐2660 A Driving Force, Odin Teatret: Ur-Hamlet at Kronborg Castle A. Gabriela RamisI IOlympic College – Bremerton/Washington, United States of America ABSTRACT – A Driving Force, Odin Teatret: Ur-Hamlet at Kronborg Castle – Ur-Hamlet is Eugenio Barba’s production performed at the Elsinore castle in Denmark in 2006. Odin Teatret worked in collaboration with many actors, dancers and musicians from diverse cultures and theatrical traditions. This paper traces the relationships that Odin Teatret has established with other theatre groups in the world, their exchanges and the concept of the third theater. It analyzes the artistic practices that Odin Teatret usually applies and how the integration of actors with different Western and Eastern backgrounds was marked by their professional trajectory. There was a clear distinction between actors with diverse theatre training and also experience, and younger Western actors who took part in Odin Teatret’s workshops. Keywords: Esthetic Principles. Ethics. Marginality. Multiculturalism. Third Theater. RÉSUMÉ – Odin Teatret, une force motrice: Ur-Hamlet au château de Kronborg – Ur- Hamlet est une mise en scène par Eugenio Barba réalisée au château de Elsinore au Danemark en 2006.

  • The Documents' Archive Odin Teatret Archives' First Steps Consisted in Collecting and Classifying Paper Documents. First
    The Documents’ Archive Odin Teatret Archives’ first steps consisted in collecting and classifying paper documents. First a Fonds Barba was established with all the documents preserved and personally ordered by Barba over a period of more than fifty years. It deals to a large extent (but not exclusively) with materials connected to his work with Odin Teatret: performances (sketches, notes, readings, etc); his relationship with the Polish director Jerzy Grotowski with whom Barba did his apprenticeship (letters, essays, typed scripts); honorary degrees, honours and prizes received ; personal documents; notebooks, sketches and photos; materials related to the text of performances; transcripts of his lectures; his articles, essays and newspaper cuttings about him. The OTA also keep Eugenio Barba’s correspondence which is not yet accessible for obvious motives of privacy but which, when available in the future, will make it possible to reconstruct relationships, shared problems, topics, reflections and phases of development concerning Odin Teatret and the milieu of which it is a part and a catalyst. At the same time, a Fonds Odin Teatret was started, including all documents kept by the theatre: press cuttings; materials for the journal “Teatrets Teori og Teknikk” published by Odin Teatret in the period 1965-1974; letters from spectators; documents about the various ISTA sessions (International School of Theatre Anthropology); texts of performances; documents about the organisation of the big seminars in the 1960s (with Jerzy Grotowski, Jean- Louis Barrault, Etienne Decroux, Jacques Lecoq, Dario Fo, the brothers Colombaioni and others), and in the 1970s (with Balinese, Indian, Japanese artists and ensembles); documents related to film projects and shooting; actors’ notes, proposals and sketches about the training or the creation of a performance, etc.

Thesis Abstract The Production of Luck: Learning to Act, in the Discipline of Theatre Anthropology. Theatre Anthropology is a discipline with a unique place in the history of theatre. It is neither solely practical nor theoretical, but enacts and theorises the relationship between action and thought, reflecting how transformations in one area inform the development of the other. This field is the work of Eugenio Barba, actors of Odin Teatret, scholars and performers of the International School of Theatre Anthropology.

    ODIN TEATRET UR-HAMLET A performance by Eugenio Barba based on Vita Amlethi by Saxo Grammaticus (1200 A.D.) UR-HAMLET: THEATRUM MUNDI Ur-Hamlet is the result of Odin Teatret’s keen interest in acting technique. Instead of technique, we could say professional identity, and this identity does not necessarily coincide with the performer’s biographical-cultural one. Odin Teatret, whose actors are of different nationalities, has been a pioneer in this field, studying and presenting various western and non-western acting traditions in Holstebro. It started in 1966 with seminars on the actor’s professional know-how as practised by Jerzy Grotowski, Etienne Decroux, Jacques Lecoq, Dario Fo, Jean- Louis Barrault, Joseph Chaikin, Judith Malina and Julian Beck. In the beginning of the 1970s, Odin Teatret organised seminars involving Javanese and Balinese ensembles and artists (Sardono, I Made Pasek Tempo, I Made Djimat), Japanese Noh, Kyogen, Kabuki and Shingeki theatre (Hisao and Hideo Kanze, Mannojo Nomura, Sawamura Sojuro, Shuji Terayama) and India’s main classical forms of theatre-dance: Kathak, Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Chhau and Kathakali. Besides the performances, the performers presented and commented the technical basis of their way of thinking and establishing a communicative relationship with the spectator. ISTA, International School of Theatre Anthropology, founded in 1979, widened this research and has grown in symbiosis with Odin Teatret. ISTA is a working environment characterised by a technical exchange between regularly returning artists and researchers of different genres and nationalities. In this “performers’village”, they compare and analyse the technical foundations of their styles in sessions lasting from two weeks to two months.
