2	The performance of breathlessness on the page Worden, Jessica January 2017 (has links) This thesis formulates a practice-based approach to performances of breathlessness on the page. It investigates breathlessness as a subject of creative practice through performance writing, creating different works that function as material object, site as well as score for future performance permutations. These works each examine different aspects of breathlessness, with a focus on the corporeal, affect and between-ness. The relationship of these performance works to the body, affect, time and duration establish the performative possibilities of writing and how this specific form of artistic practice contributes to discourse surrounding live work. My research does not distinguish between the contributions of practice and critical analysis. The outcome of the research is three works, one of which is embedded within this document, and a critical analysis that explores the different ways breathlessness performs on the page. Key to my research is a negotiation of understandings of lessness. Breathless performance writing posits a concept of lessness as other than absence. The ability of the practice-based work to initiate experiences that engage with the body, time and duration also demonstrate forms through which writing can generate as well as directly participate in performance. This research contributes to the field of contemporary performance and theatre practice by defining the live in relation to writing as well as developing a concept of lessness. The distinction between writing and performance leads to unnecessary schisms between the two disciplines. This body of research demonstrates the ways in which performance writing bridges these disciplines to initiate live work. This research disrupts conventional and binary definitions of breathlessness, performance and writing. Performance writing initiates live experiences for audiences of one or many, unbound to any one point in time, capable of generating multiple but unique live encounters with performance. 792.02
3	Lieux et non-lieux de l'écriture de la performance chez Jackson Mac Low / Places and Non-Places in Jackson Mac Low's Performance Writing Galey, Célia 12 November 2016 (has links) La notion de lieu sert à caractériser, en termes métaphoriques autant que concrets, l'objet paradoxal et protéen de cette étude, à savoir l'écriture de la performance dont Jackson Mac Low, entre 1954 et le début des années 1980, contribua à décupler la puissance d'hybridation et de déstabilisation aussi bien générique que sémiotique et politique. Ses partitions (comme celles à la notation indéterminée de certains compositeurs expérimentaux de son époque tels John Cage, Morton Feldman, Earle Brown ou Christian Wolff) prescrivent la performance sans en déterminer nécessairement le medium, la structure, ou la durée. Une dynamique imperceptible travaille ces textes, et leur fixité sur la page souvent illusoire masque un processus sans fin de multiplication et de devenir. Cette fuite de l'objet présente un défi à l'analyse non seulement textuelle, mais aussi de ce qui a lieu (au moment de la performance) malgré et par le non-lieu de textes qui échappent aux lieux communs littéraires que sont la constitution et la hiérarchisation d'une œuvre, ou son inscription dans des cadres génériques clairs. Prise dans le contexte philosophique et politique de la pensée anarcho--pacifiste du poète, l'écriture de la performance prend tout son sens et sa portée. Elle apparaît alors comme le lieu d'une tension entre utopie et hétérotopie, tension définitoire de l'investissement de Mac Low dans l'espace communautaire : à la fois omniprésente et marginale (une marginalisation par le milieu ou par le centre, en quelque sorte), sa participation à travers la performance est dotée d'une force de transformation et de subversion éminemment politique, au sens que Jacques Rancière donne à ce terme. / The notion of place (in its metaphorical and concrete implications) serves to characterize the paradoxical, protean object of this study namely. Jackson Mac Low's performance writing. From 1954 .to the early 1980s, the poet enhanced the disruptive impact of his practice, both in .terms of generic hybridization and semiotic, political subversion. His scores prescribe performance, yet they rarely determine every aspect of its medium, structure, or duration (in asimilar way to the indeterminate notation of such experimental composers as John Cage, Morton Feldman, Earle Brown, or Christian Wolff). An invisible dynamic force animates these texts whose seeming fixity on the page often conceals an endless process of multiplication and becoming. The lasting elusiveness of the textual Object challenges analysis as well as the understanding of what actually takes place in the Mac Lowian performance despite, or by way of, a "non-place" wherein the barriers of literary commonplaces such as the norm of a hierarchically structured opus that may be framed generically — are transcended.. The processual form takes its full import when linked to the poet's anarcho-pacifist beliefs: it then materializes the tension between utopia and heterotopy, which defin.es his unique relationship with the communities he was involved in. Mac Low's participation in many existing artistic and literary communities of his time was ubiquitously central and marginal. By virtue of its transformative and subversive impact, Mac Low's performance writing anticipates and shapes new communities, and thus appears to be, in Jacques Rancières understanding of the word, eminently political.
