Macdonald, Megan. "Performance art, liturgy and the performance of belief". Thesis, Queen Mary, University of London, 2011. http://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/2426.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The history of art and religion is intricately linked in Western culture. This thesis focuses on one strand of this relationship and is concerned with the role of performance practices in relation to spirituality in the West. Contemporary performance practice and theory are at the centre of this research. Case studies on the Roman Catholic Liturgy and the performance artist Marina Abramovi! are used to show how traditional analyses of spiritual performance have not accounted for the effects and affects of metaphysics in how we understand belief. I argue that examinations of spiritual performance are needed which do not try to understand such performances in terms of their representative meaning, but rather, seek to account for their performative qualities as practices that both instantiate and manifest belief. Performative theory has been used extensively to analyse language and human action, specifically the performance of gender. Here belief is taken as the subject of performative action and rituals are examined as performance practices which perform belief. Starting with Jacques Derrida, I begin a discussion of metaphysics and representation, tracing the nature of Western understandings of belief from Plato, to Friedrich Nietzsche, to Derrida, and to contemporary theological investigations into the nature of the human soul. This establishes the metaphysical history of the treatment of belief as well as various theoretical attempts to move past this model. The work of J.L. Austin, John R. Searle, Judith Butler and Saba Mahmood is employed to examine belief through speech act theory as a verb and finally through performative theory as an action. The first half of the thesis contextualises Western belief as a culturally specific entity that has not been analysed or understood in relation to its physical and material aspects, as well as developing an analysis of performative action. The second half applies the performative approach to the case studies.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This paper is a phenomenological approach to the field of performance art. It is aqualitative study based on observations and interviews. The aim is to understand how andwhy do artists use performance art. The empirical result shows that artists use performanceart to challenge what art is. The study explains how artists use performance art as a modeof communication, a communication based on using the voice in different modes. Throughusing an electronic filtered voice, the artists capture the audience's attention and at the sametime they challenge their own narrative and presence. Performance art is seen as a mode ofcommunication, which constitutes a social structure within communities. The study findsthat the artists generate an existential and political awareness for their audience.Keywords:

Prokůpek, Marek. "Performance Measurement of Public Art Museums". Doctoral thesis, Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze, 2015. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-264709.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The issue of the economics of cultural institutions, their economic impact, and measurement of their performance has been paid systematic attention basically only in the past few years. PhD thesis analyses the methods of performance measurement in public art museums and creates economic models. Aim of my thesis is also to create a model for museum managers to measure the performance. Nowadays it is almost necessary to integrate performance measurement system in organization´s strategy decision making. The museum managers feel the pressure to prove that their organization is performing well by various stakeholders and we perceive the idea that multidimensional performance measures could fill the informational gap concerning performance, quality, and the artistic value of cultural programs. The mixed research method was employed in this research. Qualitative data was obtained from the questionnaire and interviews. Quantitative data was obtained from the questionnaire, annual reports and reports of The National Information and Consulting Centre for Culture (NIPOS). The aim of this study is to propose a comprehensive multidimensional model to assess art museum activities. This model takes into account the scope and character of museum´s mission. This model consists of implementation of Data Envelopment Analysis into Balanced Scorecard.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
La thèse consiste en une approche pratique et théorique des stratégies du performeur sur fond des questions problématiques relatives à la performance et à la représentation. Elle s’intéresse plus spécifiquement aux manifestations et aux traductions des trois processus créatifs performance, mimêsis, représentation dans la pratique de la performance comme genre. L’articulation d’axes de recherche paradigmatiques (des Performance Studies) à l’étude du genre repose sur un dialogue constant entre pratiques et théories qui permet de mieux cerner et comprendre le phénomène. La performance est à la fois un genre et un paradigme dont l’étude montre le passage d’une logique représentationnelle à une logique « performationnelle ».
La performance ne s’envisage pas directement comme représentation, mais comme restauration de comportement, comme processus, et comme événement dont trois aspects — la boucle de rétroaction autopoétique, la déstabilisation des oppositions binaires, les situations de liminalité — confirment sa nature en tant que telle. Elle ne dépend plus de la mimêsis en fonction de laquelle se constituait la représentation aristotélicienne, bipolaire. Elle renverse le processus de production de l’art, et s’impose de manière autonome et à part entière par rapport à la représentation et à la mimêsis qu’elle n’implique, ni n’exclut nécessairement.
Le genre de la performance tend à mettre en échec la mimêsis, mais ne dénie pas pour autant toute possibilité de représentation, qui s’ouvre à d’autres dimensions.
L’art de la performance est un art du moi, un art de la subjectivation qui questionne l’identification propre à la représentation de la fiction, par dés-identification, désappropriation, déclassification. Il n’assure pas moins la représentation identitaire, sociale, politique du sujet en action.
La performance traduit la représentation dont elle questionne, et élargit peut-être, le sens et les fonctions dans le champ des arts vivants. Elle se pose comme moyen de réflexion et d’évolution objective des conceptions, des logiques et des principes qui définissent le champ de ces déterminations.

McCusker, Nicole Catherine. "Performance, Art and the Female Nude at Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School". Thesis, University of Canterbury. Social and Political Sciences, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10092/7656.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
My thesis examines the event of Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School, which has branches in over 120 cities worldwide. Dr Sketchy's combines the format of a life drawing class with burlesque performance, creating an event that focuses on both the performance and the creation of art by the attendees. Dr Sketchy's was begun in New York in 2005 by its creator Molly Crabapple, now an internationally recognized artist and popular alternative celebrity. I focus my study on the Christchurch branch of Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School, founded in June 2010 by Audrey Baldwin, a performance artist and Fine Arts graduate of the University of Canterbury.
In my thesis I discuss the way Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School combines and compromises between the life drawing format and the burlesque performance, despite the differences and seeming incompatibilities between these two forms. I investigate Dr Sketchy's as a contemporary cultural performance which combines and to some degree inverts established genres of performance. I give a detailed history of burlesque performance and of life drawing within art education to allow a comprehensive comparison of the two traditions, particularly the way each has conceptualized the nude female body. I argue that the combination of the two forms allows Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School to transgress the traditional boundaries of each format and introduce influences that would otherwise endanger the status of life drawing and burlesque performance within their respective contexts. I also argue that the nude within Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School transgresses the traditional conception of the nude within life drawing by using burlesque as an acceptable reference for the transgressive elements of the show.
The arguments put forward in this thesis are the product of extensive participant observation, interviews and literature reviews on the relevant art and performance traditions.

O'Connell, Micheál. "Art as 'artificial stupidity'". Thesis, University of Sussex, 2017. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/67604/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Through treatment of selected interventions and artworks, the thesis investigates relationships between cybernetics, conceptions of intelligence and artistic practice. The works in question are primarily the artist's own, documented in the thesis and a separate portfolio. Specifically, intelligence's downside, the controversial notion of stupidity, has been reappropriated as a means of considering the way artists intervene and how art, as a system, functions. The term ‘artificial stupidity' was invented in reaction to a particular construal of what Artificial Intelligence (AI) meant. The notion has been employed since, and the thesis discusses interpretations and uses of it. One meaning relates to an ability to become, or make oneself, ‘stupid' in order to facilitate discovery. In the conclusions, the arguments are extended to ‘art as a social system' (Niklas Luhmann), suggesting that it survives and reproduces through a wily kind of pretend idiocy combined with occasional acts of generosity to other systems. The research methodology is threefold. Firstly, unapologetically playful approaches, characteristic of the artistic process, were utilised to generate ideas. Thus, art becomes primary research; an equivalent to experimentation. Secondly conventional secondary research; the study of texts; was conducted alongside artistic production. Thirdly the works themselves are treated as raw materials to be discussed and written about as a means of developing arguments. Work was selected on the basis of the weight it carries within the author's practice (in terms of time, effort and resources devoted) and because of its relevance to the thesis themes i.e. contemporary and post-conceptual art, the science of feedback loops and critiquing intelligence and AI. The second chapter divides interventions and outputs into three categories. Firstly, the short looping films termed ‘simupoems', which have been a consistent feature of the practice, are given attention. Then live art, in which a professional clown was often employed, is considered. Lastly a series of interactions with the everyday technological landscape is discussed. One implication, in mapping out this trajectory, is that the clown's skills have been appropriated. ‘Artificial stupidity' permits parking contravention images to be mistaken for art photography, for beauty to be found in courier company point-of-delivery signatures and for the use of supermarket self-checkout machines, but to buy nothing. The nature of the writing in chapter 2 and appendix A (which was a precursor for the approach) is discursive. Works are reviewed and speculations made about the relationship with key themes. The activities of artists like Glenn Lygon, Sophie Calle, Samuel Beckett are drawn upon as well as contemporary groupings Common Culture (David Campbell and Mark Durden) and Hunt and Darton (Jenny Hunt and Holly Darton). Chapter 3 includes a more structured breakdown and taxonomy of methods. Art theories of relevance including the ideas of Niklas Luhmann already mentioned, John Roberts, Avital Ronell, Mikhail Bakhtin, Andrew Pickering and Claire Bishop are called upon throughout the thesis. Interrogation of the work raises certain ethical or political questions. If there are good reasons for the unacceptability of ‘stupid' when applied to other human beings, might it be reasonable to be disparaging about the apparent intellectual capacities of technologies, processes and systems? The period of PhD research provided an opportunity for the relationship between the artist's activities and the techo-industrial landscape to be articulated. The body of work and thesis constitutes a contribution to knowledge on two key fronts. Firstly, the art works themselves, though precedents exist, are original and have been endorsed as such by a wider community. Secondly the link between systems and engineering concepts, and performance-oriented artistic practice is an unusual one, and, as a result, it has been possible to draw conclusions which are pertinent to technological spheres, computational capitalism and systems thinking, as well as art.

Drinkall, Jacquelene Ashley School of Art History & Theory UNSW. "Telepathy in contemporary, conceptual and performance art". Awarded by:University of New South Wales. School of Art History and Theory, 2005. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/31097.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis investigates the impact of telepathy and psi on conceptual and performance art from 1968. Emerging from the author???s art practice, the thesis argues telepathy is a key leitmotif and creative concern within much post 60s art, and has become central to the practice of a number of contemporary video, performance and new media artists. This thesis is composed of two interrelated parts: an exhibition of the artwork by the author concerning telepathic processes, and a written project which uses the major themes of the exhibition to frame an historical study of a number of key contemporary artists whom, it is argued, work with telepathy. These artists, Jane and Louise Wilson, Suzanne Treister and Susan Hiller are discussed under the themes of ???twinning and doubling,??? ???technological mediums??? and ???telepathy experiments???. These themes also overlap in the authors artwork, are introduced through an overarching analysis of the work of performance artist Marina Abramovi?? and philosopher Jacques Derrida who, it is argued, provide a new model of telepathy as an art practice. In addition, the thesis argues that telepathy is an often suppressed thematic in art which may not appear to directly address it, and uses the work on the Wilsons, Treister and Hiller to re-look at other 20th Century artists and artistic themes in the light of the conclusions it draws on telepathy and art. Walter Benjamin greatly admired the Surrealists, but had virtually no time for their interest in telepathy, hypnosis and psi. Together with positive materialist misappropriations of Adorno???s Thesis Against Occultism, artistic and theoretical work with telepathy and psi has been sidelined from other important themes in art and critical theory, all of which telepathy and psi illuminate, energise and empower. The art of the author and other more recognised and established artists can be seen to work with telepathy in ways that flow into and reinforce the grain of progressive leftist practice and aesthetics. Women???s work with telepathy should be considered as important as women???s work with sexuality. Women, sexuality, Otherness, liminality, spirituality, telepathy, trauma, healing, radical politics, and other taboo areas of patriachal codes, were adandoned by macho participants of fluxus and Conceptual art. The recent conceptual and performance tilt in contemporary art sheds new light on the problem of working within and developing an effective and dynamic lineage of telepathy in post 60s art as well as early modern art movements. Contemporary developments in science, engineering, biology, psychoanalysis, warfare, popular culture and sociology show the wider relevance of discourse on telepathy. There is much at stake for visual art, aesthetics and visuality in representing, celebrating and interrogating the theme of psi and telepathy in current practice and art history. Artists??? work with telepathy and psi, although not always explicitly psychological, political or aesthetic, is often very psychologically, politically and aesthetically effective.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
How we are together: generosity and dissonance in internet-situated performance art is a practice as research PhD that focuses on how artistic practices engage with the increasing ubiquity of internet communication. Specifically, it addresses how performance art practices respond to the ways internet-enabled technologies augment and extend the interactions between individuals. How we are together investigates what “together” means as internet communication technologies become ubiquitous, and how social relations interweave the on and offline sites of contemporary culture. Through a series of artworks devised alongside written analyses, the project demonstrates the ways in which “internet-situated” performance and performative artworks highlight the increasing digital mediation of contemporary practices of relation. These practices, and the relationships instantiated through them, are the basis of an investigation into the entangled politics of the emotional and technological. How we are together defines a set of contemporary “internet-situated” performance art practices, creating a subset of internet art that is specifically using and referring to the social processes of digital communications. The innovative nature of this thesis emerges from its approach to the interconnected emotional and technological politics of internet communications through its theorising of the concepts “generosity” and “dissonance”. Expanding upon Rosalyn Diprose’s Corporeal Generosity (2004), this project demonstrates how generosity operates as a tool in artistic practice that emphasises relation and enacts a specific openness and care through the terms of reciprocity in exchange. Dissonance, defined by building on theories of friction, failure and disruption in both technology and performance, provides a new critical intervention into the imbrication of emotion with digital technologies in contemporary culture. The conceptual and practical interventions of dissonance and generosity are demonstrated across the written analyses and artistic practice, which developed in parallel over the period of research. The project asks: In what specific ways is the practice of art shaped and forged by the new contingencies of relations that emerge within internet-situated contexts? In answering this question, I combine performance studies and feminist cultural theories with practice as research; this produces a new and innovative engagement with both digital philosophies and performance practices. This practice as research approach draws on feminist epistemologies to emphasise situated knowledges and emotion. In this way, the thesis bridges the theoretical gap between theories that address the politics of emotion and those that focus on the impacts of digital technologies.

A presente pesquisa explora o YouTube como campo de criação da performance art contemporânea. Em primeiro lugar o site é abordado com foco em suas implicações culturais, empregando tanto uma bibliografia específica sobre o YouTube como autores que refletem sobre a subjetividade contemporânea, destacando-se neles aspectos que se relacionam com as práticas dos usuários do site. Em seguida é analisada uma seleção de obras de performance no YouTube realizadas por artistas de diversas nacionalidades. Elas estão reunidas em cinco vetores: #camgirlsattwhores, que trata da mulher e do feminismo na internet, apoiando-se principalmente no trabalho de Erica Scourti; #persona-ironia, que se baseia nas teorizações de Renato Cohen sobre a persona performática; #anti-confissão, que aborda a prática da confissão segundo conceitos desenvolvidos por Michel Foucault, Óscar Cornago e Christopher Lasch; #corpo-efeitos, no qual a principal referência é o trabalho de N. Katherine Hayles sobre o pós-humanismo; e #prank, que conta com as teorizações de V. Vale e Fábio Salvatti. Na etapa final, são realizados experimentos práticos no YouTube, inspirados nos ideais de Joseph Beuys e Allan Kaprow, e nas práticas artísticas de Petra Cortright. A pesquisa articula, portanto, diversas perspectivas culturais e artísticas, tanto teóricas quanto práticas, para apreender o objeto de estudo, defendendo um novo tipo de arte que transborde o mercado e as categorias tradicionais e propondo um uso desartístico e lúdico das tecnologias atuais.This work explores YouTube as a field for contemporary performance art creation. Firstly, the research approaches the website focusing in its cultural implications, investigating specific literature about YouTube as well as authors that reflect upon contemporary subjectivities, highlighting in them aspects that relate to the website users\' practices. Then, it analyses a selection of works by performers of various nationalities, gathering them in five vectors: #camgirls-attwhores, which deals with women and feminismo on the internet, relying mainly on Erica Scourti\'s work; #persona-irony, which is based on Renato Cohen theories on the performative persona; #anti-confession, which addresses the practice of confession making use of concepts by Michel Foucault, Óscar Cornago and Christopher Lasch; #body-effects, in which the main reference is the work of N. Katherine Hayles on post-humanism and #prank, which relies on writings by V. Vale and Fábio Salvatti. Finally, practical artistic experiments on YouTube are carried out, inspired by the ideas of Joseph Beuys and the artistic practices of Petra Cortright. Therefore, the research has articulated multiple cultural and artistic perspectives, both theoretical and practical, to seize the object of study, advocating a new kind of art, one that overflows traditional categories and the art market and proposing an unartistic and playful use of current technologies.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This is the first study to approach, both historically and theoretically, the emergence and development of performance art in Greece from the 1970s to the 2010s. Drawing on an interdisciplinary framework - including feminist theory, philosophy, sociology, art history, and more - the study aims to address an evident gap in histories of contemporary Greek art. The research begins with the emergence of performative artistic practices in the 1970s, in the conditions set out by the seven-year Dictatorship (1967-1974) and follows, selectively, the complex trajectory of these practices while investigating their connection with wider socio-political and economic developments. The thesis should not be read as a survey, despite being the first book-length analysis of Greek performance art in both English and Greek. The material included here has been selective (drawn out of years of field research) and yet presents, and represents, the spectrum of themes and positions making up the history of performance art in Greece. My contention is that the rise and establishment of performance art in Greece reflected both the political ferment of the time (early 1970s) and an enquiry into the possibility of flight from traditional media. The dual aim of this study is, first, to facilitate and encourage the integration of performance art in a revised Greek art history; and, second, to contribute to an expansion of performance art histories in an international context through the negotiation of hitherto unknown material synthesised in a study of adequate length. This thesis has required large-scale in situ research and overcoming the major obstacle of the absence of relevant publicly held archives. This was one reason why even an elementary linear history of performance art had been such an overwhelming task in the past; a second reason is the overall marginalisation of performance art theory in the Greek context. Through the Greek paradigm, the thesis illuminates new aspects not only of performance but also of post-performative participatory practices, engaging new conceptualisations. By identifying fundamental issues in the production, dissemination, and reception of performance art in Greece, I provide a critical analysis not only of its achievements and potential but also of its impasses and failures. My intention in undertaking this research has been to disprove the notion - implied or stated as a matter of fact in histories of contemporary Greek art - that performance art has had only a sporadic and inconsistent presence in this 'periphery' scene. I argue that the artists investigated in this study are conclusively part of the history of performance in the 20th and 21th centuries, thereby setting the terms and calling for further research on the subject.

Papadaki, Elena. "Curating screens : art, performance and public spaces". Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2014. http://research.gold.ac.uk/11255/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Based on theoretical research (for example Fried 1967; Krauss 1979; Graham & Cook 2010; Mondloch 2010; Trodd 2011) and five distinctive art case studies (Videographies: The Early Decades [2005], China Power Station: Part I [2006]), performance ( ... some trace of her [2008]) and public spaces (Under Scan [2008] and Temenos 2012 [2012]) this thesis traces the interrelation between curating, institutions and exhibition practices through screen-based works, specifically using the term to denote screen media in physical space and within an arts context. The field of curatorship in relation to the above is foregrounded, paradigm shifts explored, and changing relationships between audience and display examined. In the five case studies, the curator is respectively a member of the permanent museum staff, a theatre director in collaboration with a video artist, an artist in collaboration with a team of assistants and technicians, and a filmmaker who re-enacts the vision he shared with his long-term partner. I argue that the role of the curator has moved away from being the solely the keeper of a museum to a more complex range of public activities and promotions just as screen media operates within an interdisciplinary field of practices. The thesis claims that the different spaces in which screen-based habitus operates need to be renegotiated. Blurring the boundaries between disciplines, I provide a conceptual framework and a rationale for analysing how screens can be curated by emphasising the challenges that arise when screens are no longer contained within a museum space. New juxtapositions between work, audience, and context emerge, which I question and place under scrutiny.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
While taking into account the field of study of performing arts, I assume that the category called „performing arts“ underwent many reforms in the 20th century, making it almost impossible to set clear boundaries between theatre, dance and performance art. Therefore I deal with their common ground that I call the zero point and that allows me to explore means of expression of human body and also time – space dimension of live action. The zero point is located in the pelvic region of the body and it is the center of stability, balance and life enegry. In my dissertation I focus on the analysis of physical trainings that work with the zero point in theater, dance and performance arts. Primary output of this work is then analysis of physicality as culturally encoded construct and the practical part of disseration is focused on the realisation of the point zero symposium.

Mestrado em Criação Artística ContemporâneaNa presente investigação pretende-se uma análise dos processos da voz falada na performance art ligada ao universo da prática artística. Através do questionamento e levantamento de práticas conceptuais de alguns artistas como Karen Finley, Robin Deacon, Sylvie Cotton, Mark Wayman, Vito Acconci e Gary Hill, que utilizam a voz como forma primordial de expressão, intenta-se o estudo da relação entre a voz e corpo, como se processa e, em última análise, como se estabelece a comunicação. Encontrando o seu espaço no trabalho performático, a voz falada apoia-se ou distancia-se do próprio corpo do performer. É assim que a palavra pronunciada reflecte a sua derradeira importância na construção conceptual do trabalho: através da anulação do corpo, do bracketing, da materialidade expressiva ou da reificação.
The present investigation aims to analyze the processes of the spoken voice in performance art, connected to an artistic practice. Through questioning and setting up conceptual practises from artists like Karen Finley, Robin Deacon, Sylvie Cotton, Mark Wayman, Vito Acconci and Gary Hill, who use voice as a primary form of expression, one attempts to study the close relations between voice and body: how it is processed and how the communication is established. Finding its own place in performance, the spoken voice leans and furthers apart from the performer’s own body. The uttered word achieves its ultimately importance in the conceptual construction of the work: by the body’s annulment, by its bracketing, by its expressive materiality and by its reification.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
‘Metsän väki - Forest Dwellers’ was my Professional Integration Project (PIP). The project consisted of creating a performance titled ‘Metsän väki’, which was performed on May 9th 2016 in Helsinki, Finland and of writing this thesis. The performance was a collaboration between different artists and it involved music, visual art, dance and performance art. The starting point for creating the performance was my collaboration with sculptor and environmental artist Jenni Tieaho. In addition to traditional instruments, sounding objects were used in creating the music. There were both written and improvised music as well as improvised dance in the performance. The performance took place in a former psychiatric hospital. In the outcomes and conclusion I present my expectations for the performance and describe how those where met. I also examine the role of cross-artistic collaboration in the project. I give examples of my own artistic development as well as my development as a project leader. I also reflect on the relevance of the project to the community. The outcomes are presented through my own reflections and through discussion where I point to literature concerning the differences and similarities between different art forms. The outcomes of the project include audience feedback from the performance. This is presented in the appendices. My conclusion shows that I was also able to create a rich and diverse performance by using simple (low-tech) methods. The performance was inspired by my experiences, interests and background. In my thesis I also show how creating and structuring the ‘Metsän väki’ performance can help me to develop as an artist doing cross-artistic collaboration.Professional Integration Project

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Teacher assessment is a hot topic in today’s high-stakes, test-driven, accountability-focused educational environment. My recent research addresses how high school art educators, under the umbrella of non-tested subjects and grades, are assessed in their classroom teaching practices in Virginia. Based on my findings, it is clear that while the teachers surveyed do not fear accountability, they are wary of being evaluated by those who lack the content knowledge in the arts, by methods that are subjective, and with criteria that is inflexible. This thesis addresses the need to develop open forums that include the educator’s voice in order to create better teacher assessments that focus on student learning achievement in authentic and holistic ways. By learning about and sharing resources regarding how teachers in non-tested subjects and grades are evaluated suggestions are made to organize resources that may help develop more authentic assessments for art teachers focusing on meaningful student learning and achievement.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The PhD thesis deals with the role of archives in the contemporary artistic and curatorial practice, with an emphasis on the performance art. It also analyses the creation process, methodology and the contents of selected personal and institutional archives in both Czech and international contexts. The objective of the paper is to answer the following questions: In what way is the documentation and subsequent archiving of process-oriented forms of art performed? How is the history of the contemporary art formed and interpreted through these archives and with the help of the artistic and curatorial practice? To what extent are we able to reconstruct the history from records and performance documents that are only fragmented, thus making a reference to a real action? Do the archives leave some room for misinterpretation, creating a myth or personality cult through its system of classification of knowledge? How indeed is the performance art related to its own history; how is this history perceived by the performer alone; and how is it approached by the professional audience? The paper will also include the analysis of current state and possible solutions to the operation of the archive of the Faculty of Fine Arts, which is related to opening a dialogue among artists, theorists and institutions that might be interested in better accessibility of such an archive.

Pamment, Claire. "The bhānd mode in Pakistani performance". Thesis, Central School of Speech and Drama, 2013. http://crco.cssd.ac.uk/459/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Bhānds are wandering comedians, widely dispersed in Pakistan and North India. While their art constitutes a persistent mode of performed practice in Pakistan, it is not given recognition by dominant culture. The thesis explores the caste, class, ethnic and literary biases that motivate this ostracism, and in turn how bhānds play with these status distinctions in performance. This interaction creates a dynamic mode, which is able to expose, negotiate and subvert hegemonic power structures, and, in so doing, continually adapts itself to changing socio-cultural contexts. Appreciation of these practices and their effects on the social norm has hitherto been lacking, precisely because of the cultural marginalisation which attempts to place the bhānd within a fixed definition of identity. In order to redress this imbalance, I explicate the bhānd’s aesthetics and socio-cultural mediation through multiple contemporary and historical manifestations. Contemporary reinventions range from stand-up comics in the nuptial rites, to carnivalesque comedians of the popular Punjabi theatre and socio-political commentators on satellite television. By extracting the bhānd from the prejudices of historiography, the thesis explores historical lineages between the bhānd and Sanskrit jesters and Sufi wise fools, arguing that this Indo-Muslim synchronism perpetuates the bhānd's presence in South Asia. This re-reading aims conceptually to release the bhānd from contemporary and historical constraints as a shape-shifting mode, which may be seen to continue generating innovative forms and practices for theatre and performance in Pakistan today.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This paper explores the politically charged topic of sport and gender in Saudi Arabia. Banning women and girls in Saudi from participating in organized sport is largely, albeit erroneously, attributed to religion. This paper attempts to unravel some of the complex issues involved in the exclusion of women and girls from sport and physical education. We Will Play examines the intimate terrain of institutionalised discrimination and gender inequality, and the ways in which these are literally embodied. This project is a part of an ongoing series of protests and cultural activism that drive my art practice. We Will Play uses sport as a mode of entry into a much larger predicament. The studio component of this project entitled City for All references the proclaimed philosophy of ‘Sport for All’ in the way that both are yet to be globally realized. City for All is overtly critical of Saudi laws and social norms that discriminate against women and girls. While this project defies conformist thinking, it hopes to stimulate more dynamic and perhaps playful ways of looking at the issues facing Saudi women. Through this work I wish to inspire Saudi women and men to re-examine their own personal prejudices towards the pressing issues of gender discrimination in general and towards gender and sport specifically

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In this study I outline seven characteristics of a traditional Happening (the use of games and play, an inherent intertextual element, an emphasis on place/space, an element/spirit of anarchy, an element of chance, an emphasis on the fusion of art with everyday life, and the existence of both a purpose and a meaning) and seek to determine which characteristics contribute to the Happening's current usage as a rhetorical tool. I created a traditional Happening containing a message of environmental consumption and destruction, and surveyed audience members regarding their interpretation and experience. The survey responses were coded using a top-down narrative analysis. I discovered that intertextuality, place/space, and the fusion of art with everyday life are particularly effective communicators of a message in a socially or politically conscious Happening.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Les environnements mixtes sont des dispositifs, des mises en scène, des installations, hybridant tangible et numérique, espace physique et espace informationnel ou fictionnel. Ces environnements permettent à leurs expérimentateurs d’être simultanément ici et maintenant et liés à un ailleurs ou une autre temporalité. Ils peuvent emprunter à la magie du spectacle autant qu’aux technologies de l’ingénieur. Ils rejoignent la performance lorsqu’ils permettent de créer ou de donner accès à d’autres mondes. Ces mondes peuvent être des plateformes 3D ou des fictions. Les environnements mixtes relèvent d’enjeux moins spectaculaires que performatifs, fictionnels et plastiques. Les dimensions techniques, qu’il s’agisse de technologies numériques, de mise en forme cérémonielle ou scénographique, rejoignent les enjeux plastiques. Faire performance dans de tels environnements, c’est rechercher, permettre ou provoquer des états de corps conjoncturels, relatifs au contexte spécifique d’une démonstration. Cette thèse a également pour objet de rendre compte, en dehors du temps de leur présentation publique, de ces formes invitant à des expérimentations multiples et singulières et également des différentes explorations, celles de performers et d’expérimentateursMixed environments are devices, stagings, installations, which hybridize what is tangible and what is digital, physical space and informational or fictional space. These environments allow for their experimenters to be here and now, but also simultaneously linked to an elsewhere or to another temporality. They borrow as much from the magic of the spectacle as from the engineer’s technologies. When they allow to create or to give access to other worlds, they join with performance. These worlds can be 3D platforms or fictions. Mixed environments are defined less by spectacular issues than by performative, fictional and plastic ones. The technical dimensions, be they digital technologies, the ceremonial formatting or stage design, join with the plastic dimensions. To perform in these environments is to search for, allow or provoke temporary states of the body that are related to the specific context of a demonstration. Aside from their public presentation, this dissertation work will also address these forms, which invite to multiple and singular experimentations, as well as the different ways they are explored, by the performers or by the experimenters

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This practice-based thesis (comprising of an exegesis, exhibition, performances
and their documentation) traces a myriad of cognitive and sub cognitive
processes that converge towards a complex practice referred to as 'Aquabatics'.
In broad terms, Aquabatics describes the research nexus of occupational diving
and contemporary performance. The purpose of this body of research has been
to explore underwater performance, behaviour and boarders, in order to both
devise new works of live art and to develop new methodologies and approaches
to art-making. Aquabatics, as a performance strategy, seeks to critique, contest
and explore the liminal natures of human performance, and the role and context
of live artists, in contemporary life.

Campbell, Lee. "Tactics of interruption : provoking participation in performance art". Thesis, Loughborough University, 2016. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/21786.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis addresses a research study predicated on practice in order to explore aspects of participation in Performance Art. The study makes a contribution to knowledge in participative performance practice and the positive deployment of using interruptive processes; this is in order to provoke participation within the context of Performance Art as well as gain a better understanding of the operations of power relations at play. Within the discourse of impoliteness study (Bousfield, 2008; Culpeper, 2011 et al.), there is a term that deserves much greater attention: interruption . Examining interruption and exploiting its virtues using practice brings out some productive insights that go beyond abstract theorisation. Working in response to Nicolas Bourriaud s conception (1998) of participation in Relational Aesthetics as a means of attacking power relations, I use my practice as an artist/performance provocateur and amplify consideration of my previous usage of interruption in order to provoke participation and then interrogation of power relations. Slapstick and heckling as extreme versions of interruptive processes that are physical in nature are put forward as tactics of interruption that extend comedy tactics within my practice. Circumventing commentary of interruption that often posits the term and its affiliation with impoliteness and capacity to be disruptive as negative (Bilmes, 1997), interruption is used for the purposes of my study as the key strategy that underpins the performance Lost for Words (2011) and the collaborative project Contract with a Heckler (2013), and are presented as prime examples of the operations of interruption in practice. Lost for Words supports the difficulties of participation when interruptive processes connected to physical and bodily slapstick are structurally engineered into a live performance and Contract with a Heckler supports power relations when live performance is predicated upon physical and linguistic interruptive processes relating to heckling. Both Lost for Words and Contract with a Heckler demonstrate a complex knitting of theory and practice whereby argument is supported by the undertaking of action (by the necessity of experiencing interruption in practice). The written dimension of the thesis operates in conjunction with the accompanying photographs and video recordings included here as documentation serving to deconstruct the examples of practice presented. Writing adds detail in the form of critical analysis, reflective commentary and personal experience to the supplied documentation and is used as a tool to communicate that working with interruption on a theoretical, practical and emotional level can be exciting, provocative and dangerous.

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF LAURA A. KISE, for the Master of Arts degree in CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY, presented on April 14, 2010, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: PERFORMANCE ART AS SUBLIMATION: THE CASE OF DANCE MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Stephen Dollinger Creativity and sublimation have been linked throughout the theoretical literature on psychological defense, especially in relation to artistic creativity. As a performance art, dance has been included as a creative form in one of the commonly used measures of creative accomplishments. These links suggest the possibility that dance and sublimation may be related. The purpose of this study was to determine whether dancers endorsed sublimation more than did non-dancers. Participants consisted of 126 female participants recruited from two psychology courses and a university dance company. They completed a questionnaire about level of involvement in dance, Hocevar's Creative Behavior Inventory (including a number of dance items), and the Defense Styles Questionnaire with additional sublimation items (modeled after the sublimation item already in the DSQ) embedded within it. Results indicated that sublimation was a significant predictor of dance, as was SES. SES had a curvilinear relationship with dance such that those identified as well-off were most likely to dance. Four of the six individual sublimation items correlated significantly with dance. Particular motivations to dance also correlated significantly with sublimation and dance. Dance correlated with some of the other CBI creativity scales, but not all, suggesting domain specificity.

The study focuses on artists who adopt performance art as a form of creative expression within the world of contemporary visual art. Some performances are extreme exhibitions which often assume violent and aggressive forms; others are quasi-visible events like communication misunderstandings or reiterated behaviors which make the flow of ordinary interaction unusual and sometimes create a feeling of anxiety in the audience. There are of course basic differences between these kinds of performance; nevertheless, in the case of both the most spectacular events and «minimal performances», the artist acts at the borderline of what is explainable, and his/her artistic practices highlight the need to traverse the frontiers between traditional genres, mixing them up or forsaking them. A performance essentially consists in the creation of an interactive event, and artists manage the central elements of the interactive order: the dimension which, according to Erving Goffman, represents a reality in itself, possesses its own logic, and cannot be reduced either to macro-structural dimensions or to individual psychology. The topic of the research reported here can be summarized in the following question: how is it possible to turn a «social interaction» into an «artistic object»? The answer can be articulated on different dimensions: how a performance is projected, arranged and carried out; what happens during performance events; how such events can be recorded and conserved. A performance results from cooperation among a group of people which cannot be defined as a «system»: there are no formal roles, there are no fixed positions, there are no decisional centers. Nevertheless, the basic elements are in place for it to be possible to talk of the existence of an interactional unit: different social actors act together in an intentional, reiterated and settled manner. It is possible to find a great number of events which take place on specific sites and during which artists, venue managers, critics, collectors and performance audiences meet, work together, and share their interests. It is thus possible to use the term «sphere» to refer to a place to which admittance is granted only after an initiation process and rite of passage. In such «spheres» people follow careers based on internal, formal and informal hierarchical ladders. Moreover, there are subjects who act as gatekeepers, and myths and symbols are shared. The research was conducted in Northern Italy, where several towns were selected as central nodes in the Italian contemporary art field. I conducted in-depth interviews with subjects occupying the three main roles in the artistic field: artists, venue managers and curators, and art critics. The selection of the interviewees was based on their strategic position in the field. My purpose was to investigate the node that they occupied in the art world by combining two criteria: first, the spatial position of the environment in which they lived and worked (marginal, peripheral, central); second, the stage of their professional career (beginning, emerging, established).

As a performance artist, I have experienced a strong synergy connecting performance artists, the work they make, the network they create and inhabit, and the trust that binds them together. I wanted to discover how that network operated. Therefore, this doctoral research project focuses on the question, “What is the operation of the global performance art network? ” Network theory forms the overarching theoretical framework, with the additional concepts of trust, community, social capital, and performance art playing a key part in the analysis. With no known research into the global performance art network to date, the research will contribute to theory development and practical perspectives in relation to performance art.
In addressing the research question, I acknowledge my personal ontology and self-interest in the subject matter. This duality of researcher / participant has allowed for a conscious ethnographic approach to this research. I have adopted a pragmatist paradigm in approaching this research question, which encourages a mixed methods strategy, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods, allowing for triangulation of data.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Processes and forms of valuation, evaluation and valorization are important for bringing contemporary social life in order. In this thesis, I study the values of the small and autonomous avant-garde of the art-world, performance art. In art worlds, arguably, we can expect to find the most extreme cases of activities which constantly aim at transgressing existing ideas of what is valued in this world, i.e., art. Performance art is an activity that contemplates the border between art and non-art, and that as an activity contributes to the constitution of this border. My focus is on the ongoing process, which is seen in a historical light. I look at the social structure that both enables and constitutes values. I argue that this process should be understood as a convaluation (Aspers 2008), a partial order with some temporal extension that enables coordination based on valuation and evaluation processes. I find that the convaluation of performance art is characterized by a switched role structure––meaning that actors operate as both artists and curators and as such, switch from being evaluated to evaluating others. The central value that constitutes the convaluation of performance art is bodily presence.

This work aims to analyze the concepts of ritual developed by Richard Schechner and Victor Turner. This is realized through the definition, analysis and discussion of the concepts looking for the dialog between Schechner and Turner. The research was developed by reading and analysing the major volumes published by these authors, what is Schism and Continuity; Forest of Symbols; The Ritual Process; Dramas, Fields and Metaphors and From Ritual to Theater by Turner and made by Schechner Environmental Theater; Essays on Performance Theory; Between Theater and Anthropology; The Future of Ritual and Performance Studies. Was not found any work like this. It is an inedited and presented an important review on Schechner‟s and Turner‟s written. The ritual concept needs this multiplicity look to take a new breath and look up different sea-lines. This job has a methodological richness because points out precisely the fact that the research belongs analyse the field "between" the theatre and anthropology. It is not remand to any discipline and the same time belongs to all of them. This is a bibliographic study what can provide theoretical support for various research fields.
Este trabalho visa à análise do diálogo interdisciplinar e liminar estabelecido entre Richard Schechner e Victor Turner através da definição, análise e discussão do conceito de ritual em suas obras. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida através da leitura e fichamento dos principais volumes publicados destes autores, sendo eles Schism and Continuity; Forest of Symbols; The Ritual Process; Dramas, Fields and Metaphors e From Ritual to Theater de Turner e de Schechner Environmental Theater; Essays on Performance Theory; Between Theater and Anthropology; The Future of Ritual e Performance Studies. Não foram encontrados registros de trabalhos semelhantes. Sendo esse um trabalho inédito e que oferece uma revisão dos escritos destes dois autores. Discutir o ritual por esta perspectiva multifacetada é abrir o leque de novas possibilidades de discussão de um conceito tão importante e que tendo sido já tão discutido necessita de novo fôlego para ganhar novos horizontes. Trata-se de um trabalho considerado liminar, pois sua riqueza metodológica está justamente no fato de a pesquisa localizar-se no "entre" o teatro e a antropologia. Não se prende a nenhuma disciplina e ao mesmo tempo pertence a muitas. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico que poderá servir de aporte teórico para os mais variados campos de pesquisa.

Manuel, Campos Jose Luis. "Blast theory : intermedial performance praxis and the generative conditions for performance subjectivity". Thesis, Royal Central School of Speech & Drama, 2014. http://crco.cssd.ac.uk/464/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The work of the British theatre company Blast Theory explores intermedial dramaturgies that this thesis claims can be categorized as radical because they present a generative characteristic. Intermediality, understood here as the impact of analogue and digital technologies in theatrical performance, establishes complex relationships between physical and virtual spaces, structures that create a rich polyphony of multiple temporal orchestrations, and narratives that present a multiplicity of performative arrangements. Intermedial performance, as a performative and experiential event, encompasses a triad of performative interactions between performers, spectators and the media itself executed at and concentrated on the moment of the performance encounter. This research argues that this encounter displays a generative character – a moment at which all the attending performance variables come together in a constant process of performative re-activation thus generating the intermedial performance event. Within this descriptive parameter, this research claims that recent performance conceptualizations fail to account for the work of Blast Theory. Contemporary performance and liveness debates focus principally on the ontology of performance. So, notwithstanding their differences, performance theorists such as Lavender (2002), Fischer-Lichte (2008), and Schechner (2003), and presentness/presence theorists such as Phelan (1993) and Power (2008) all agree that performance is an ontological, ephemeral, and fleeting event. While there are many valid points in these diverse approaches, they only offer a partial account of the specificities of the work of Blast Theory and, by extent, the intermedial performance event. This thesis therefore relocates the terms of the debate on a constructivist epistemological basis. In this way, the thesis proposes that an intermedial performance event must be understood beyond the ontological approach by specifically interrogating the conditions of intelligibility; that is, its operative and intelligible architecture of attending elements and the participating subject. The key hypothesis shared is that in introducing a constructivist reading of epistemology, as described by Alfred Whitehead and Gilles Deleuze, a new account of intermediality in performance emerges as a radical dramaturgy, incorporating generative aspects, and with this, a unique type of intermedial performance subjectivity is enabled.

May, Shaun. "You have to 'be there' : a Heideggerean phenomenology of humour". Thesis, Central School of Speech and Drama, 2013. http://crco.cssd.ac.uk/458/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In this thesis, it is my intention to use Heideggerean phenomenology to build an account of two seemingly disparate areas of humour. Firstly, humour that arises out of a shift between ontological categories - specifically, between the ‘human’ and the ‘object,’ on one hand, and the ‘human’ and the ‘animal’ on the other; and, secondly, between objects and bodies failing. In doing so, I hope to elucidate the ‘hermeneutic condition’ of all humour, understood in Heidegger’s terms as the phenomenon of world. A hermeneutic condition is not to be thought of along the vein of a ‘necessary and sufficient condition’ of something being comical. There have been a number of attempts to try to pinpoint such a condition, with theories gravitating towards the ‘big three’ of incongruity, superiority and release. Personally, I am not convinced that there is such a condition - I think it more likely that certain types of humour share some traits, but there are no traits shared by all humour that can act as a marker that humour is afoot. Similarly, a hermeneutic condition should not be understood as a causal condition - I am not claiming that something is funny because of this condition. Rather, my suggestion is that the phenomenon of world is a necessary condition of humour’s intelligibility – we are the sort of creatures that can make and comprehend jokes because we are in-the-world, in Heidegger’s sense. I will suggest that it is only for Dasein that either getting the joke or failing to get the joke is a possibility, and this is precisely because only Dasein has this hermeneutic condition. Developing this claim necessitates the pursuit of a thoroughly worlded phenomenology, and to that end I want to suggest Heidegger’s work as an ideal foundation. Moreover, I will suggest that the humanlike objects and animals which amuse us are tacitly playing with this being-in-the-world, and the object and body failing has the potential to disclose this nature of this world to us. In this way, I hope to demonstrate that there is much to be gained from the phenomenological analysis of these two types of humour.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This half-thesis has developed as a supporting document to an exhibition titled Vabvakure, people from far away, which responds to the growing trends of violence perpetrated against African foreign nationals living in South Africa. This violence which has generally been termed as 'xenophobia' has been framed within this discourse as 'afrophobia', as it is fraught with complexities of race, ethnicity and class. Evidently, not all foreign nationals are at risk but selective targeting of working class black African foreign nationals seems to be the modus operandi. Fanning these flames of prejudice are stereotypes and negative perceptions of Africa and African immigrants that have permeated into the national consciousness of South Africa, which the mainstream media has been complicit in cultivating. My practice is concerned with challenging this politic of representation in relation to the image of the African foreign national within South African society, who have been presented negatively and labelled as the 'Makwerekwere', the 'bogeymen' that have been blamed for the country’s current woes. In response to this, my research adopts the premise that forms of cultural mediation such as visual and performance art can offer further insights and possibly yield solutions that can be used to address these sentiments. As globalisation and neoliberal ideologies reshape the world, there is a growing need in the post-colonial state to revisit and re-construct notions of individual and collective identity, especially that of the nation. Nations, nationalisms and citizenry can no longer be defined solely through indigeneity, for as a result of radical shifts in the flow of migration and immigration policies that allow for naturalisation of aliens and foreign nationals, we are now faced with burgeoning levels of social diversity to the extent that constructions of nationhood that are based on the concept of autochthony have resulted in the persecution of the ‘other’.

This thesis is constructed in three parts. Each one of them offers a reflection on the common ideas disseminated about Live Art, conceptual dance and postdramatic theatre, i.e. that these practices reject the notion of mimesis as it is supposed to represent reality, they reject text in favour of a phenomenological language and they produce a form of non-sense which should be translated into meaning. Each of these statements will be problematized. I will argue that Live Art is producing mimesis even if it works against representation and although its actions are performed for real. It does not represent reality, but neither does it present the Real. It is producing a version of the "Real", which is the definition of mimesis. I will then argue that if these practices create a phenomenological language, it relies on a form of writing that is being produced live by the work. Finally, I will propose that the non-sense constructed by this writing process should not be forced into a meaning, but should be read as a fluid linguistics, which in some instances will be concretely a linguistics of fluids. By this I intend to point out that the meaning of the constructed non-sense will never be fixed nor unique. The work only becomes meaningful because it remains permeable to meanings. These three steps all participate in the "undoing of meaning"; relying on a process involving destruction within construction to then allow reconstruction. Mimesis, logos and sense need to be taken apart before these concepts can be thought anew. It is the rigidity of the conventional systems of apprehension which has to become permeable to allow a fluid multiplicity of meanings. In conclusion I will draw some parallels between performance art and feminism in their appropriation of the concept of mimesis and their approach to language outside the structure of logos and I will suggest that the performances which explore and expose these concepts adopt a feminist philosophical strategy. 1 I chose to use this spelling closer to the French spelling of “non-sens”, which does not have in French the colloquial use it has in English and is more directly related to the philosophical concept. The hyphenated word better translates the idea of a reverse image of the word “sense”.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study is concerned with the obscurity surrounding the boundaries of a socio-political context and a metaphysical context, especially as it correlates to Contemporary Performance Art. This dichotomy seemingly results in symbolic conflation and therefore necessitates the inclusion of social science as part of Performance Studies discourse. The intersection of these disciplines aligns with respect to the significance of context: the role of communication when considering the phenomenon of interpreting the perspective of other individuals. In this study, the various layers appropriated to the contextualisation of Performance art are explored: how it pertains to the theatrical framework, audience, art, social order, and the sublime. To this end, the influence of the socio-political construct of reality on the theatrical framework of a performance is examined. The premise is that a socio-political context both precedes and follows a performance and likely affects 5 how a performance is experienced. This investigation relies upon the methodological approach of Grounded Theory that allows the freedom of exploring this phenomenon in conjunction to the development of a communicative model. To delimit the scope of this study, I primarily focus on the symbolic, insofar as it affects the context of a performance. The analysis of this study supports the development of a theorisation that introduces an approach to the theatrical framework, defined as Neo-Surrealism. Drawing upon Immanuel Kant's philosophical work on judgement, a precept is introduced for a theatrical framework: Neo- Surrealism is a platform that constitutes the demarcation of sacred space, where the signification of the aesthetic has symbolic authority over the signification of the socio-political construct. In the present study, the term transgression as situated in a metaphysical context of sacred space, changes its symbolic signification from a complicit act against the socio-political construct to a complicit act against the limitations of perception, positioning this semiotic sign to constitute an aesthetic infinitude. This theorisation serves to support a philosophical dialectic that incorporates performative methods from Ritual Studies. This aspect of the dissertation acts as a counterpart to the documented artwork aimed at reinforcing the specific purposes as outlined through the research. The practical portion of this study consists of three performances that rely upon the platform of Neo-Surrealism. Each performance strategically responds to the influence of the socio-political construct in separate ways. Neo-Surrealism: What is Performance art? (2015) contains a fictitious narrative that is integrated in an academic context. I portray several different archetypes; this theoretically makes my identity impalpable to an audience comprised mostly of students that are unfamiliar with my work. Neo-Surrealism: The Audition (2016) is centred on the site specificity of the performance, challenging the application of the communicative model in an unfamiliar socio-political context, Anchorage, Alaska. Neo-Surrealism: The Rehearsal (2017) is aimed at asserting the relevance of the platform of Neo-Surrealism by expanding the symbolic boundaries of Performance Art.

Anderson, Raymont Lee. "COMBAT DANCE:A CREATIVELY HOLISTIC APPROACH TO MOVEMENT PERFORMANCE ART". VCU Scholars Compass, 2003. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/879.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
"Combat Dance" is an eclectic blend of combat and dance art forms combined and taught from the Fall 2001 to Spring 2003. As defined here, combat dance is a blend of techniques and principles gleaned from both unarmed and armed aspects of stage combat, martial arts (such as aikido and kung fu), modern dance and other expressive movements used to tell a story of conflict. Its primary purpose is to provide both actors and non-actors greater awareness and control of their bodies and to provide a range of creative avenues of expression. Combat dance gives the performers a unique and holistic set of exercises and skills that leave no part of the body, mind, or - even deeper - the spirit uninfluenced. The thesis begins with the vision and birth of the class, a description of the preparatory research, an analysis of the reasons for the class, and reflection, revelations, and realizations gained through teaching the class. The ultimate focus of this thesis is to aid anyone interested in any type of combat or dance-related movements: dancers, non-dancers, actors, non-actors, movement coaches, and even those in the fields of dance or drama therapy.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Attraverso un excursus storico, teorico e metodologico, questa tesi di dottorato analizza la nascita, gli sviluppi e l’attuale dimensione costitutivo-identitaria dei Performance Studies, un ambito di ricerca accademica che, nato negli Stati Uniti alla fine degli anni Settanta, ha sempre palesato una natura restia nei confronti di qualunque tentativo definitorio. Se i Performance Studies concepiscono la performance sia come oggetto d’analisi sia come lente metodologica, e se, come evidenziato da Richard Schechner, praticamente tutto può essere “elevato a performance” e quindi indagato secondo le categorie analitiche di questa disciplina, ecco allora che, con uno slittamento transitivo e “meta-metodologico”, questa ricerca dottorale ha scelto come proprio oggetto di studio i Performance Studies stessi, osservandoli “as performance” e avvalendosi degli strumenti metodologici suggeriti dal suo stesso oggetto d’analisi. Questo lavoro indaga come l’oggetto di studio dei Performance Studies sia, seguendo la teoria schechneriana, il “behaved behavior”, e dunque come di conseguenza, il repertorio, prima ancora che l’archivio, possa essere considerato il fedele custode delle “pratiche incorporate”. Soffermandosi su esempi di “reenactment” performativo come quelli messi in atto da Marina Abramović e Clifford Owens, così come sui tentativi condotti dalla sezione dell’Intangible Cultural Heritage dell’UNESCO, suggerisce validi esempi di “archiviazione” della performance. L’elaborato prende poi in esame casi che esemplificano la proficua identificazione tra “studiare performance” e “fare performance”, sottolinea il ruolo cruciale e imprenscindibile determinato dal lavoro di ricerca sul campo inteso come “osservazione partecipante”, ed evidenzia il costante coinvolgimento sociale e politico assunto dai Performance Studies. Questa dissertazione affronta e supporta l’efficacia dei Performance Studies nel proporsi come uno strumento innovativo in grado di analizzare un mondo sempre più performativo nelle sue dinamiche. La loro natura tanto interdisciplinare quanto interculturale sembra farne una lente adeguata attraverso cui promuovere livelli diversi di performance dialogica tra culture localmente distinte ma globalmente assimilabili.Through a historical, theoretical and methodological excursus, this thesis analyzes the birth, development and current identity of Performance Studies, an academic research field that, born in the United States at the end of the Seventies, has always been reluctant towards any attempt to be defined. If Performance Studies conceives performance both as an object of analysis and as a methodological lens, and if, as pointed out by Richard Schechner, everything can be studied "as" performance and so investigated according to the analytical categories of this discipline, then, with a transitive and "meta- methodological" shift, this doctoral research takes Performance Studies as its object of study, observing it "as performance" and using the same methodological tools suggested by its object of analysis. This work investigates how the object of study of Performance Studies is, following Schechner’s theory, the "behaved behavior", and thus how, as a result, the repertoire, even before the archive can be regarded as the true custodian of "embodied practices". Focusing on examples of performative "reenactment" such as those by Marina Abramović and Clifford Owens, as well as on the efforts undertaken by the UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage section, it suggests valid examples of "archiving performance". The paper then examines cases that exemplify the successful identification of "studying performance" and "doing performance", it underlines the crucial and inescapable role played by the on-field research, understood as "participant observation", and highlights the constant social and political commitment of Performance Studies. This dissertation addresses and supports the effectiveness of Performance Studies in itself as an innovative tool able to analyze a world increasingly performative in its dynamics. Thanks to its both interdisciplinary and intercultural nature, Performance Studies seems to be a proper lens through which to promote different levels of performance dialogue among cultures which are locally different but globally comparable.
