Описание: This book is the first of its kind offering a materialistic semiotic analysis of a non-Western theatre culture - the Bengali group theatre. The book shows a refreshing new perspective towards a theatre culture that frequently escapes the critical lens in spite of being one of the largest urban theatre cultures in the world.

Описание:
The new music theatre of the third quarter of the twentieth century presents a research field of great richness. In these years, music theatre became one of the main preoccupations for (especially) young composers digesting the consequences of the revolutionary experiments in musical language that followed the end of the Second World War. Despite the importance of 'music theatre' in this period, many significant works are now almost forgotten, and very few regularly revived, often because of the inadequacies of surviving notations or the unusual demands of staging. New music theatre between 1955 and 1975 challenged accepted genre categories, but in so doing often failed to find a secure place in the repertory. The use of different national languages, and the close relationship with local trends in other kinds of theatre, also militated against the spread of works' reputations internationally.
The volume takes as a focus the idea of 'transformation', for instance, to historical approaches to the conjoining of music and staged action; to conceptions of music and musical performance; to the afterlives of theories of drama developed originally in the spoken theatre; to composers' conceptions of their relation to wider society; and to new music theatre itself as it developed through the twenty-year period that is the focus of this book. The volume presents new music theatre as a site of intense exchange - between practitioners of different art forms, across national borders, and with artistic institutions and changing consumer technologies. Suitably, the volume itself is the outcome of a process of international and intradisciplinary exchange between leading scholars with diverse competencies, offering new insights into a period of great significance within recent music history.

Описание: Fifteen writers explore the experimental, interdisciplinary and radically transgressive field of contemporary live art in South Africa, focusing on a wide range of perspectives, personalities and theoretical concerns Contemporary South African society is chronologically 'post' apartheid, but it continues to grapple with material redress, land redistribution and systemic racism. Acts of Transgression represents the complexity of this moment in the rich potential of a performative art form that transcends disciplinary boundaries and aesthetic conventions. The contributors, who are all significantly involved in the discipline of performance art, probe its intersection with crisis and socio-political turbulence, shifting notions of identity and belonging, embodied trauma and loss. Narratives of the past and visions for the future are interrogated through memory and the archive, thus destabilising entrenched colonial systems. Collectively analysing the work of more than 25 contemporary South African artists, including Athi-Patra Ruga, Mohau Modisakeng, Steven Cohen, Dean Hutton, Mikhael Subotzsky, Tracey Rose and Donna Kukama, among others, the analysis is accompanied by a visual record of more than 50 photographs. For those working in the fields of theatre, performance studies and art, this is a must-have collection of critical essays on a burgeoning and exciting field of contemporary South African research.
