For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Disappearing Fourth Wall: Law, Ethics, and Experiential Theatre Mary LaFrance* ABSTRACT The cutting edge of experiential theatre blurs the lines between performer and audience. Both the performer and the audience are vulnerable. Audiences may be subject to assaultive or disturbing behavior or images. The performance may take place in an unconventional venue that poses safety hazards. A single audience member may be alone with a performer, who may engage in provocative or shocking behavior, including verbal abuse or touching. The performer may invite similar conduct from the participant. Typically, the participant does not know in advance what will take place and does not sign a waiver. While the performer has a script or a set of instructions, the performer knows nothing about the mental or emotional state of the participants and thus may undertake some personal risk as well.

    Faculty of English THE CONSTRUCTION OF SKILL IN CONTEMPORARY EXPERIMENTAL THEATRE Giacomo Giuseppe Belloli Queens’ College University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in August 2018 i Declaration This thesis is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. It does not exceed the prescribed word limit for the relevant Degree Committee. i ABSTRACT The construction of skill in contemporary experimental theatre Giacomo Giuseppe Belloli A concern with ‘skill’ – the embodied process of becoming accustomed to, and getting better at, particular practices – underpins the work of a range of recent experimental theatre-makers in the UK. While Tom Cornford has proposed that the theatre has not experienced a ‘turn to the crafts’ to match the concurrent one in the visual arts, I argue that theatrical practice is caught within this turn. The encounters that occur in theatrical auditoria become sites for the construction of skill, where the skilled practice of performers and audiences can be developed and celebrated, but also where the implications of what that means can be interrogated.

  • A Visitor's Guide to Glasgay

ISBN 9781847183064 http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/6487/ Deposited on: 22 July 2009 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Launched in Glasgow in 1993, Glasgay! has proved to be an enduring lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender arts festival. Given the surprising longevity of Glasgay! it seems imperative that this important queer festival, whose survival is always precarious, is documented. ‘A Visitor’s Guide to Glasgay!’ is part of that documentation, offering an account of the festival from each of its producers and mapping their different aims and agendas, alongside their shared frustrations. A Visitor’s Guide to Glasgay! In 1993, the lesbian and gay cultural landscape of Glasgow was changed dramatically with the launch of the first Glasgay! festival. As I write this, plans are well underway for the launch of Glasgay! 2006. It is unlikely that co-founders Cordelia Ditton and Dominic D’Angelo could have predicted the longevity of the festival when they began planning the first one in 1991, particularly given the sustained political and financial obstacles that each festival producer has had to face. The survival of Glasgay! seems a necessary act of wilful obstinacy, a refusal to counter the possibility that the festival has (ever) had its proper time and place. I very much hope that in 2016, someone else (or even an older me) is recording the continued history of Glasgay! The ‘record’ that follows is primarily produced from interviews with each of the directors/administrators.

  • FROM TALKING to SILENCE a Confessional Journey
    FROM TALKING TO SILENCE A Confessional Journey Deirdre Heddon and Adrian Howells IntrodUCING ADRIAN HOWELLS (DH) ur culture is saturated with confessional opportunities, ranging from chat shows to “Reality TV,” from Internet blogs to social networking sites such as Facebook. It seems that wherever you turn people are more than Owilling to engage with an unburdening of their deepest and darkest secrets. This proliferation of confessional technologies has been mirrored by an evolving genre of autobiographical, confessional live performance. In the UK, a considerable body of work based on the sharing of personal material has been created by artists such as Mem Morrison, Bobby Baker, Ursula Martinez, Curious, and Third Angel, to name just a few. Over the past ten years, performance artist Adrian Howells has made a significant contribution to this confessional performance landscape, creating and touring perfor- mances in which he confides in strangers hoping, in turn, that they will share details with him. Howells structures his performances around dual notions of “transaction” and “transformation,” with exchange anchored in the dialogic: the oral/aural, the spoken and the heard. Most recently, his work has tended to be performed for a single spectator at a time. In this form of performance practice—intimate, personal, and interactive—the boundary between performer and spectator dissolves in the process of exchange, an exchange that asks for a committed and at times vulnerable sort of spectatorship. How does this performance work sit alongside—or in resistance to—the glut of mass-mediated confessions? For the past three years, in his role as a Creative Fellow at the University of Glasgow (funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council), Howells has been exploring further the nature of risk and intimacy in performance, asking what sorts of confessions might take place in a secular culture, and with what effects.

  • At the Still Point: the Heart of Conversion
    religions Article At the Still Point: The Heart of Conversion Karmen MacKendrick Department of Philosophy, Le Moyne College, Syracuse, NY 13214, USA; [email protected] Received: 1 March 2019; Accepted: 31 March 2019; Published: 4 April 2019 Abstract: Though religion and performance are often considered together in ritual and liturgy, they may join in other contexts as well. This paper explores the “still point” described in the poet T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets as playing a role not only in poetry and dance, but equally in moments of religious conversion. Three such moments are explored, framed by theoretical considerations of dance, conversion, and attentiveness to the “here” and “now” in both. These points of space and time are the objects of an intense focus that creates a center to the experience and thus the possibility of the conversionary turn. Keywords: dance; T.S. Eliot; conversion; stillness; Adrian Howells; Augustine; Elijah; religion 1. The Present Point In Ecumenica: Journal of Theater and Performance, Caridad Svich glosses the concept of presence. [I]n the art of art-making, in between the church and the brothel which is sometimes called theatre, we know indeed there are those who came before us . Here. 1 stand. Look. Are you watching? Here. 1 speak. Listen. Are you listening? There are many kinds of seeing and listening in theatre. Sometimes in silence, we hear the world.1 As this brief passage hints, theater is nothing so simple as spectacle—nor, for that matter, is church. Part of the complexity is presence itself, Svich says; “It is the hardest thing in the world sometimes: to be present.
