HERMIT International Art Symposium GROWTHRINGS
HERMIT international art symposium GROWTHRINGS time-place-rhythm-light-matter-energy from baroque till present LETOKRUHY cas-misto-rytmus-zvuk-svetlo-hmota-energie v promenach casu od baroka k dnesku under auspicies of Czech Ministery of Culture poradano s podporou Ministerstva Kultury Ceske Republiky PLASY 1th JUNE - 30th 1993 Bohe is The Monastery in Plasy The theme of the second international symposium-meeting-exposition and work- shop in the ancient cistercian monastery in Plasy (West Bohemia) will be the stintu- iation of interrelations between the seeing and heating, between the past and the present, between cctttrunt and province, high and low, matter and energy, relation between people and their cultural and natural environtent. 44 artists, musicians and intermedia artists from Czecho-Slowakia, Netherland, Belgium, USA, Australia, Germany and Great Britain took part in the first symposium HERMIT 92. The installations, sound sculptures, performances were mostly realised directly in the complex of this former monastery founded in 114?. Especially ill the huge building of the baroque convent rebuilt by the famous architect Jail Blazcj Santini-Aichl in the 18th century. The second location was the space of the early baroque granary. The building of the convent contains many different spaces - from dark my- sterious subleractian cellars with underground watcrsystcttts to light chapels and huge corridors . The ideal sonic conditions of the interiors were used for many sound insta llatious and music performances. The interiors of the granary with it's early gothic King's chapel are considered by artists as outstanding exhibition space for con- temporary art. In the four floors of this unique monumental building with old tower- clock are four big cellars and four large rooms with original wooden construction from 17th century. -
The Dance-In and the Re/Production of White Corporeality Anthea Kraut, University of California, Riverside
The Dance-In and the Re/production of White Corporeality Anthea Kraut, University of California, Riverside Abstract This essay examines the figure of the “dance-in,” a stand-in who dances in place of a star prior to filming, focusing on two women who acted as surrogates and dance coaches for the mid-twentieth century white film star Betty Grable: a white woman named Angie Blue and an African American woman named Marie Bryant. Bringing together film studies theories of indexicality, performance studies theories of surrogation, and critical race theories of flesh and body, I argue that the dance-in helps expose how the fiction of white corporeality as a bounded and autonomous mode of being is maintained. Keywords: dance-in, white corporeality, surrogation, indexicality, Betty Grable, Angie Blue, Marie Bryant In 1935, the Los Angeles Times ran a seventy-word article under the headline “Dance Stand-In,” explaining a new phenomenon in Hollywood: “Stand-ins,” persons who take the places of stars while the cameras are being properly focused, have become an accepted fact around the studio sets. Now comes Shirley Temple, youngest star of them all, with a new kind of stand-in – a dance stand-in. Marilyn Harper, one of the Meglin Kiddies, is Shirley’s dance stand-in. Marilyn goes through all the terpsichorean motions for Shirley until she is ready to take her place.1 The need for “dance stand-ins,” sometimes referred to as “dance-ins,” coincided with the rise of the film musical and the increased occurrence of dance in film, ushered in by the advent -

Cultural Memory in Localized Pop Music(Al) I Am from Austria (2017) –
ISSN 1347-2720 ■ 西洋比較演劇研究 Vol.18 No.1 March 2019 A Jukebox Musical, or an »Austro-Musical« ? – Cultural Memory in Localized Pop Music(al) I am from Austria (2017) – Rina TANAKA Abstract I am from Austria (2017) is an Austrian jukebox musical by United Stages Vienna. The performances of this musical—inside and outside of the theater—were concerned with cultural and identity politics as well as the history of the musical with pop music in Vienna. This paper gives a picture of the local prerequisites for I am from Austria in terms of the actual and historical settings of musicals in Vienna, where the imported concepts of the “musical” and later the “jukebox musical” have been indigenized. Looking at the process of production, performance and reception, I am from Austria was the culmination of the attempts to launch an original musical from Vienna together with the financial support of the municipal government, where the cultural-political mission of musical was discussed. Meanwhile, musicals in Vienna were driven by two motivations: (1) to hybridize this genre with European music theater to reactivate Viennese musical theater, and (2) to interpret it in the contemporary context on site for broader and younger audience, following the nature of popular musical theater that the performing style and form are constantly forced to keep up with the rapid transformation of popular culture on site. The latter perspective is crucial to understanding the growth of the potential audience for I am from Austria as a result of the simultaneous and interactive localization of pop music and musical since the 1960s in Austria. -
Musicals in Post-Globalization: the Case of “Ever-Growing” Musicals from Vienna Via Japan
ReVisions Musicals in Post- Globalization: the Case of “Ever-Growing” Musicals from Vienna via Japan Rina Tanaka Published on: Mar 14, 2017 Updated on: Jan 04, 2018 ReVisions Musicals in Post-Globalization: the Case of “Ever-Growing” Musicals from Vienna via Japan 1. Introduction The end of the globalization era meant the beginning of new methods, regardless of regional predominance. Today, a new style of performances is coming from non-English-speaking countries even in the genre of musical, which is originally from English-speaking countries. However, it has been overlooked due to the commercial or even mass productive nature of musicals (McMillin 2006, pp. 28- 29), which has been a dominant pattern in musicals for decades[1]. How have musicals been changing in the post-globalization era? This paper analyzes the interactions established between Vienna and Japan by musicals since the 1990s as a possible illustration of the post- global theater. It consists of the following four parts. Section 1 presents two key concepts of this paper, “post-global” and “interweaving cultures in performances” as well as the current situation regarding musicals. Section 2 deals with the short history of musicals in Vienna in the post-war era until the launch of the first successful “Wiener [Viennese]” musical Elisabeth. As Vienna started taking its musical productions to the world, Japan was the first importer of Elisabeth. Section 3 considers two adaptations of Elisabeth in Japan as examples, indicating the reactions of other countries as well as Vienna, including the “re-import” phenomenon. After the great popularity of the Wiener musicals in Japan and the successive adaptations in the world, a new type of co-production developed in Japan. -

Inszenierung: Astrid Vosberg Bühne und Kostüme: Thomas Dörfler Mit dir bin ich froh und verrückt. Ich will die beste Frau sein, die es für dich gibt. Sheldon Bloom, lass mich’s tun! Mit Welterfolgen wie „Jesus Christ Superstar“, „Evita“, „Cats“ und „Das Phantom der Oper“ wurde der englische Komponist Andrew Lloyd Webber zu einem Großmeister des modernen Musicals. Neben diesen spektakulären West End- und Broadway-Shows schrieb er mit „Tell Me on a Sunday“ ein überraschend intimes One-Woman-Musical, das auch leise, nach innen gekehrte Töne kennt. Ursprünglich war das Stück als ein Fernseh-Special für die englische Sängerin Marti Webb konzipiert, bevor es, ergänzt um zusätzliche Songs, auf die Bühne kam. Nummern wie „Take That Look Off Your Face“ und „Tell Me on a Sunday“ stürmten auch die Charts. In deutscher Sprache nahm Gitte Haenning als Erste Webbers Songzyklus als Konzeptalbum auf und landete mit „Freu dich bloß nicht zu früh“ einen großen Hit. In einer kleinen, aber feinen Instrumentalbesetzung ist „Tell Me on a Sunday“ ein großes Musicalereignis für einen kleinen Theatersaal. -
