Expanded Choreographies - Choreographic Histories
From objects to sounds, choreography is expanding beyond dance and human bodies in motion. This book offers one of the rare systematic investigations of expanded choreography as it develops in contemporaneity, and is the first to consider expanded choreography from a trans-historical perspective. Through case studies on different periods of European dance history - ranging from Renaissance dance to William Forsythe's choreographic objects and from Baroque court ballets to digital choreographies - it traces a journey of choreography as a practice transcending its sole association with dancing, moving, human bodies.
Joined Forces
Band 3 der von Florian Malzacher herausgegebenen englischsprachigen Reihe Performing Urgency. Im Kontext heutiger Politik, Wirtschaft und sich permanent verändernden kulturellen Trends kommt das traditionelle Theater mit seiner Trennung von aktiven Darstellern und passiven Zuschauern immer mehr aus der Mode. Zeitgenössische Künstler emanzipieren ihr Publikum, laden es auf die Bühne und in die Performance ein, beleidigen und provozieren es und erproben verschiedenste Techniken der Teilhabe. Das Buch verbindet zahlreiche Beispiele von Publikumsbeteiligung mit Problemen der Partizipation in Demokratie und sozial engagierter Kunst. The nineteenth century was a century of actors. The twentiet...
Resilient Bodies, Residual Effects
What does it take to cross a border, and what does it take to belong? Sandra Noeth examines the entangled experiences of borders and of collectivity through the perspective of bodies. By dramaturgical analyses of contemporary artistic work from Lebanon and Palestine, Noeth shows how borders and collectivity are constructed and negotiated through performative, corporeal, movement-based, and sensory strategies and processes. This interdisciplinary study is made urgent by social and political transformations across the Middle East and beyond from 2010 onwards. It puts to the fore the residual, body-bound structural effects of borders and of collectivity and proceeds to develop notions of agency and responsibility that are immanently bound to bodies in relation.
Thinking Through Theatre and Performance
Thinking Through Theatre and Performance presents a bold and innovative approach to the study of theatre and performance. Instead of topics, genres, histories or theories, the book starts with the questions that theatre and performance are uniquely capable of asking: How does theatre function as a place for seeing and hearing? How do not only bodies and voices but also objects and media perform? How do memories, emotions and ideas continue to do their work when the performance is over? And how can theatre and performance intervene in social, political and environmental structures and frameworks? Written by leading international scholars, each chapter of this volume is built around a key performance example, and detailed discussions introduce the methodologies and theories that help us understand how these performances are practices of enquiry into the world. Thinking through Theatre and Performance is essential for those involved in making, enjoying, critiquing and studying theatre, and will appeal to anyone who is interested in the questions that theatre and performance ask of themselves and of us.
Choreographing Intersubjectivity in Performance Art
This book offers new ways of thinking about dance-related artworks that have taken place in galleries, museums and biennales over the past two decades as part of the choreographic turn. It focuses on the concept of intersubjectivity and theorises about what happens when subjects meet within a performance artwork. The resulting relations are crucial to instances of performance art in which embodied subjects engage as spectators, participants and performers in orchestrated art events. Choreographing Intersubjectivity in Performance Art deploys a multi-disciplinary approach across dance choreography and evolving manifestations of performance art. An innovative, overarching concept of choreography sustains the idea that intersubjectivity evolves through places, spaces, performance and spectatorship. Drawing upon international examples, the book introduces readers to performance art from the South Pacific and the complexities of de-colonising choreography. Artists Tino Sehgal, Xavier Le Roy, Jordan Wolfson, Alicia Frankovich and Shigeyuki Kihara are discussed.
Postdramaturgien
Dramaturgie ist längst mehr und anderes als die Beschäftigung mit Inhalt, Form und Rezeptionsweise der in einem Dramentext festgeschriebenen Handlungen zwischen Menschen. Künstlerischästhetische Erkundungen der Möglichkeiten von Theater, Performance oder Tanz sowie sich ändernde Arbeitsweisen und Produktionsbedingungen erweitern den ursprünglichen Radius von Dramaturgie und dramaturgischer Praxis kontinuierlich. Unter dem bewusst thetisch gehaltenen Begriff "Postdramaturgien" fragt dieses Buch, wohin Dramaturgie sich bewegt (hat), was es ist, sein kann oder angesichts heutiger künstlerischer wie gesellschaftspolitischer Umstände sein sollte, welche unterschiedlichen dramaturgischen Ansätze sich verzeichnen lassen oder wie sich die genannten Veränderungen auf die Rolle, Aufgaben sowie das (Selbst-)Verständnis von Dramaturg*innen auswirken. Postdramaturgien versammelt Überlegungen, Einschätzungen und Suchbewegungen von Expert*innen aus Theorie und/oder Praxis. Die einzelnen Beiträge sind selbstverständlich so heterogen wie ihr Gegenstand.
Processing Choreography
Told from the perspective of the dancers, »Processing Choreography: Thinking with William Forsythe's Duo« is an ethnography that reconstructs the dancers' activity within William Forsythe's Duo project. The book is written legibly for readers in dance studies, the social sciences, and dance practice. Considering how the choreography of Duo emerged through practice and changed over two decades of history (1996-2018), Elizabeth Waterhouse offers a nuanced picture of creative cooperation and institutionalized process. She presents a compelling vision of choreography as a nexus of people, im/material practices, contexts, and relations. As a former Forsythe dancer herself, the author provides novel insights into this choreographic community.
Scheibenscheiden-Tosatonda
This publication takes as a starting point the performance of the artist Ingrid Hora “Sheibenscheiden-Tosatonda” which took place in September 2017 in South Tyrol. Our book retraces both the process of the performance through images, soundtracks, videos and an interview ; but it also develops the context of the realization of the work and the questions it raises. Elena Basteri, who directed the dramaturgy of the performance, offers, through various quotations, an open reading on the issues that underlie the artist’s work. Cette publication prend comme point de départ la performance de l’artiste Ingrid Hora « Scheibenscheiden-Tosatonda » qui a eu lieu en septembre 2017 dans le Tyrol du Sud. Le déroulement de la performance est retracé au travers d’images, de bandes sonores, de vidéos et d’une conversation déliée entre l’artiste, la curatrice Lisa Mazza et la dramaturge Elena Basteri. L’ouvrage présente également le contexte de la réalisation de l’œuvre. Elena Basteri, qui a dirigé la dramaturgie de la performance, offre, au travers d’une sélection de citations, une lecture ouverte sur les problématiques qui sous-tendent l’œuvre de l’artiste.
Dance [and] Theory
Both the identity of dance and that of theory are at risk as soon as the two intertwine. This anthology collects observations by choreographers and scholars, dancers, dramaturges and dance theorists in an effort to trace the multiple ways in which dance and theory correlate and redefine each other: What is the nature of their relationship? How can we outline a theory of dance from our particular historical perspective which will cover dance both as a practice and as an academic concept? The contributions examine which concepts, interdependencies and discontinuities of dance and theory are relevant today and promise to engage us in the future. They address crucial topics of the current debate in dance and performance studies such as artistic research, aesthetics, politics, visuality, archives, and the »next generation«.
