Abstract

This study originates in the observation that improv comedy or improvised theater has such a vast majority of white people practicing it, while other improvisational or comedic art forms (jazz, freestyle rap, stand up) are historically grounded in and marked as Black cultural production. What it is about improv that makes it such a white space? Can an absence be an object of study? If so, what is there to study? Where should one look?.

Abstract

This spirited volume explores the history and diversity of improvisation in the cinema, including works by Jean Renoir, Jean-Luc Godard, and Nobuhiro Suwa. Gilles Mouëllic examines improvisational practices that can be specifically attributed to the cinema and argues in favors of their powers as instigators of unprecedented forms of expression. Improvising Cinema reflects both on the permanence of attempting improvisation and the relationship between technology and aesthetics. Mouëllic concludes preservation becomes even more invaluable in the case of improvisation, as the creative act exists only within the brief time span of the performance.

Abstract

Théâtre et cinéma interrogent le monde, s’offrant mutuellement des représentations nouvelles, des formes pour réfléchir, des œuvres pour modifier leurs visions. Double Jeu accueille chercheurs permanents et contributeurs occasionnels afin d’instaurer entre les spécialistes des arts du spectacle un dialogue aussi fructueux que celui qu’ont engagé depuis longtemps les praticiens et les créateurs. Ainsi, plutôt que de juxtaposer théâtre et cinéma, la revue entend éprouver ces deux arts à des problématiques, des regards qui leur soient communs, et bien entendu se placer là où les jonctions et les passerelles sont possibles, là où des frottements se font sentir, là où il y a du jeu.

Abstract

Itinerant Spectator/Itinerant Spectacle moves across the landscape of European performance in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, recounting performance in circulation across national borders and across the itinerant bodies of spectators who travel to meet performances that travel. Itinerant Spectator/Itinerant Spectacle suggests spectating is a practice -- an act of interpretation engaged in more than simply receiving the affects of a performance, a companion practice to the making of performance. The work forms a part of Skantze's ongoing explorations of what she terms the 'epistemology of practice as research.' IS/IS theorizes spectating as a practice that extends beyond the theatre, as a practice of writing as recollecting (and recollecting as writing) at the center of what has been called "criticism." The book grounds spectatorship in the subjective, embodied, differenced practice of spectating not from a fixed location or standpoint but from a ground that constantly shifts, that is, from the ground of the roving positionalities of the "itinerate spectator." Following Walter Benjamin, for example, Skantze importantly adopts the privileges of the flaneur as a feminist and rather queer project, one that refuses to be tied to the minor position, to that of the impossible "flaneuse." The methodology of the book takes inspiration from the writings of W.G. Sebald and his employment of something Skantze describes as "a staging of memory," a way to offer the reader an example of how memory works in the midst of a description of a particular recollection. This construction invites the reader/participant to 'discover,' to 'remember' alongside the writer. Further, this methodology invites the reader to incorporate her/his own ideas and memories of the practice of spectating through an openness in the language of remembering and description. Individual sections of the book demonstrate spectating as itinerant 'on the job training' in various modes of reception. Topics include: the idea of reparation in performance about nations, the past and injustice; the power of sound and the intricacies of seeing/hearing performance in many languages; the architectural information absorbed by the spectator and its role in fashioning story; the shifts made in spectating at festivals between theatre and dance; and the political consequences and traps of mobility and immobility.

Abstract

Die moderne Populärkultur kam auf der Bühne zur Welt. Noch bevor Film und Radio sich etablierten, entwickelte sich das Unterhaltungstheater zu einer kommerziellen und grenzüberschreitenden Vergnügungsindustrie, die ein Massenpublikum erreichte. Tobias Becker vergleicht die Theaterlandschaften von Berlin und London und zeichnet den kulturellen Austausch zwischen diesen Metropolen im Zeitalter der ,langen Jahrhundertwende' zwischen 1880 und 1930 nach. Darauf aufbauend untersucht seine Studie, wie die zeitgenössischen gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Umwälzungen auf der Bühne dargestellt wurden. Denn das Theater modernisierte sich nicht nur, es reflektierte die Moderne zugleich. Inszenierte Moderne leistet damit einen Beitrag zur Mediengeschichte und zur Geschichte der europäischen Populärkultur wie auch zur Stadtgeschichte Berlins und Londons sowie zur Erforschung der deutsch-britischen Beziehungen.

Abstract

Conventional notions of avant-garde art suggest innovative artists rebelling against artistic convention and social propriety, shocking unwilling audiences into new ways of seeing and living. Viewers in Distress tells a different story. Beginning in the tumultuous 1990s, after the fall of the Berlin Wall and in the wake of the Los Angeles riots, rebellious spectators in American and British theaters broke with theater decorum and voiced their radical interpretations of shows that were not meant to be radical. In doing so, audiences tried to understand the complex racial, gender, and religious politics of their times, while insisting that liberal societies fulfill their promise of dignity for all. Stefka Mihaylova argues that such non-conforming viewing amounts to an avant-garde of its own: a bold reimagining of how we live together and tell stories of our lives together, aimed to achieve liberalism's promise. In telling this story, she analyzes the production and reception politics of works by Susan-Lori Parks, Sarah Kane, Forced Entertainment, Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti, and Young Jean Lee, as well as non-theatrical controversies such as the conflict over Halloween costumes at Yale in 2015. At the core of spectators' discontent, this book suggests, is an effort to figure out how to get along with people different from ourselves in the diverse U.S. and British societies in which we live.

Abstract

Kreativ-künstlerische Methoden schaffen Räume für Formen des Wissens, (Ver-)Lernens, Erinnerns und Handelns, die dominante und verräumlichte Machtverhältnisse hinterfragen. Kunst ist dabei nicht nur ein methodisches Werkzeug und Forschung kein bloßes Kunstprojekt: Stattdessen bringt die Schnittstelle dazwischen multiskalare Fragen und Antworten auf aktuelle gesellschaftliche Prozesse hervor, die sich im Begriff artographies treffen. Die Beiträger*innen schreiben u.a. zu Sounds, Zines, Figurentheater, Skulptur, Film, Malen sowie Pantomime - und zeigen so neben den Möglichkeiten und Grenzen kreativ-künstlerischer Praktiken auch deren Beitrag zu einer machtkritischen und raumbezogenen Forschung und Lehre auf.
