Transdiscipline : in the search for new forms of theatrical expressionMarquez Tamayo, Lily A., University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science January 2006 (has links)
This document describes and analyses the process of research and production for the experimental play Via Marina: A woman's journey. Based on a personal experience between the Mexican and the Canadian lifestyles, Via Marina presents a vision toward the benefits of transdisciplinarity for the stage. By definition, transdisciplinarity is a new approach marked by the rapid advance of technology that seeks to create new areas of knowledge working between, across and beyond disciplines. For my Master's project I expermented among New Media, Women's Studies and Theatre Arts to learn to intertwine these disciplines on stage by creating a theatrical production based on a transdisciplinary technique. As a result of two-years of practical and theoretical research, the creation of the production Via Marina tries to break the conventional theatre forms using a transdisciplinary mixture of video, dance and feminist exploration of gender roles. It is just beginning of the development of a new language transcending disciplines in my work as actress, director, artist - woman. / viii, 102 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm.

Planning a Let's pretend game : games of make-believe : role playing games as devising theatre.Janse van Vuuren, Gerhardus Petrus Benjamin. January 2005 (has links)
This dissertation seeks to formulate guidelines for the construction of a Let's Pretend game in order for a group to create a collaborative narrative through pretend play. A
Let's Pretend game would provide a system for a performance event in which players are able to enter an imaginary world, take on roles in such a world and take actions in these roles. For this a Let's Pretend game should have a structured system of play; the structure for narrative in an imaginary environment; the means for participants to collaborate; and the means for participants to direct themselves.
The practical component of this research, The Foreshadowing workshop, combines the role-playing game and a devised theatre workshop into one process. In this
process the elements of games of make-believe can be identified. Bernard Suits' theory on games of make-believe identifies the prelusory goal, lusory means, constitutive rules, and the lusory attitude as the basic elements of a game.
The guidelines for a Let's Pretend game can be derived from the conventions of the role-playing game and devised theatre workshop. These guidelines would address all
the requirements of a Let's Pretend game, except self-direction, which is not available in the role-playing game, or devised theatre workshop. For self-direction, guidelines are derived from Bernard Suits' notion of the game as institution through the process of rules
clarification.
The primary guidelines for constructing a Let's Pretend game then are: that the
game structure should foster fidelity to game world specifically through the imaginary
roles. The character creation process should allow these roles to be the focus for action
resolution. These roles should be able to develop through interactions and these
interactions, as dramatic moves, would determine the plot. The structure of the game
should further foster collaboration, be easily learnt and transferred, allow for the
negotiating of rules and most importantly afford all players access to the directorial
function. This dissertation, however, does not attempt the construction of such a Let's
Pretend game. This would be the subject of future study. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2005.
