The Meisner Technique emerged as a part of the realist, modern theatre of the early-Twentieth Century and extended its influence through the rest of that century, including the 1960s and 1970s when there was an explosion of various forms of postmodern performance. This work will demonstrate that while Meisner’s Technique is a part of the paradigm of modern, realist theatre, it simultaneously challenges this ideology with disruptive processes of the sort that postmodern performance instigates. It is the thesis of this work that the Meisner Technique operates according to a set of phenomenologically-aligned imperatives that create strong resonances with certain forms of postmodern performance. This establishes the dynamic wherein the Meisner Technique is able to enter into discourse with instances of the postmodern paradigm of performance. In the first three chapters I will conduct in-depth analyses of Meisner actors’ relationships with their environment, their fellow performers, and their actions from a range of phenomenological perspectives. In the fourth chapter I will apply the conclusions of these analyses to the operation of the Meisner Technique within the paradigm of modern, realist theatre. In the fifth chapter I will set a backdrop to the postmodern field and suggest the issues from this tradition with which the Meisner Technique might resonate. Chapters Six, Seven, and Eight each take one example of an artist from the postmodern field, Richard Foreman, Michael Kirby, and Robert Wilson respectively, establishes their own particular context, and suggests those processes relating to acting/performing technique that might provoke the most productive exchanges. This juxtaposition suggests the places between the practices where discourse might take root and suggests the beginnings of such dialogues.

This works explores how to work with Event scores as a design method. In the search for what is real or what is reality the already existing things are being explored. The work started with investigating suitable ways to work with the moving body in the design process, with the aim to find a method that gave control but also left some parameters to the undecided and ambiguous. Convinced that this will lead to something new some parts of the process were highlighted and re-formulated. / Program: Modedesignutbildningen

This Doctoral Thesis POST TENEBRES LUX: ABBE, investigates the interdisciplinary video art in the international artistic context, echoing the creative origins of the multidisciplinary concept in Monte Verità, (Switzerland). Where in the inter-war period it served as a refuge and model for the creation of a new paradigm of society, which would later crystallize in the hippie movement in the USA, and that would spread throughout the world. From this we deepen in the different artistic disciplines that have served as support to hybrid and interdisciplinary techniques, from dance-videodance, performance, and audiovisual installation, addressing the theme of expanded cinema and expanded video. All this gives rise to a method of analysis for the creation and characterization of characters, which we have developed throughout our video art project, using the transpersonal psychology and the enneagram, as manifested in the research itself and which is executed in the videocreation. / El inconsciente en su función reguladora parece encontrar vías de comunicación con la parte consciente a través de la expresión plástica ya que ésta es un vehículo apropiado para la generación de símbolos. Dichos símbolos brotan del individuo para quedar plasmados en el exterior. Así se convierten en algo que existe fuera de él posibilitando la asimilación de parcelas oscuras de la mente. Esta tesis explora los orígenes del eneagraman como símbolo en origen con una dinámica de movimiento dancístico así como su relación con las artes visuales y las terapias transpersonales. La pregunta de investigación que planteamos es: ¿Es el videoarte una disciplina que posibilita el crecimiento artístico y personal?, ¿Es este símbolo un instrumento para desarrollar en las artes visuales una investigación profunda del ser humano? ¿Cómo exploraron a través de esta y otras dinámicas interdisciplinares los artistas sus efectos en la creación? ¿Es posible extraer arquetipos personalizados para la creación de coreografías, video danza, video arte y otras técnicas audiovisuales? ¿Qué artistas se han servido de ello? / La present tesi doctoral POST TENEBRES LUX: ABBE, investiga el videoart interdisciplinar en el context artístic internacional, fent-se ressò dels orígens creatius del concepte multidisciplinari a Monte Verità, (Suïssa). On en el període d'entre guerres va servir de refugi i model per a la creació d'un nou paradigma de societat, que després cristal·litzaria en el moviment hippie a USA, i que s'estendria per tot el món. A partir d'això aprofundim en les diferents disciplines artístiques que han servit de suport a les tècniques híbrides i interdisciplinàries, des de la dansa-videodansa, la performance, i la instal·lació audiovisual, abordant la temàtica del cinema expandit i el vídeo expandit. Tot això dóna pas a un mètode d'anàlisi per a la creació i caracterització de personatges, que hem desenvolupat al llarg del nostre projecte de videoart, mitjançant l'ocupació de la psicologia transpersonal i l'eneagrama, com es manifesta en la pròpia investigació i que és executada en la videocreació. / Heredia Perea, B.
