Das Dissertationsprojekt untersucht die Workshops von fünf internationalen Performancekünstler*innen qualitativ empirisch. Wie lehren diese ihre Kunstform? Welche Performancebegriffe leiten die Lehre? Welche didaktischen Ansätze und Methoden kommen zur Anwendung? Feldnotizen aus der teilnehmenden Beobachtung bilden das Basismaterial der Forschung, aus dem die individuellen Lehrkonzepte der Performancelehrenden rekonstruiert werden.

This thesis explores how textile contributes to meaning-making and spatial design in scenography. Through the theoretical lens of performativity theory, it studies three scenes from Cirkus Cirkör’s popular show Knitting Peace. Using semiotic analysis as formulated by Jan-Gunnar Sjölin, the thesis focuses on movement, spatiality and socio-cultural meaning through the three questions; How can textile enhance movement and rhythm? How is it used together with lighting to create changes in spatiality? And What connotations does textile induce, and how do they affect the overall meaning-making in scenography? The results suggest that textile is a valuable material in performance art and scenography. For example, textile behaves in ways that resemble both fluid and solid form. This allows for change of depth and shifting between open and closed spaces on stage with little effort. It also gives means to enhance and enlarge human movement in scale, intensity and time. In Knitting Peace this is used together with lighting design to create off sync layers of reality to symbolise a distorted dreamworld. The thesis shows how we can better understand the way textile affect us by applying perspectives that focus on its different characteristics. Moreover, it demonstrates that an interdisciplinary approach that builds on knowledge from different fields, such as fashion design and performance studies, can greatly benefit our understanding of the potential use of textile in arts.

Suzanne Lacy, Leslie Labowitz-Starus and Sharon Hayes have created public performances that respond to the socio-political conditions of their time and place, and extend the boundaries of the traditional public sphere to include feminist concerns. In their collaborative performance In Mourning and In Rage (1977), Lacy and Labowitz-Starus utilized the private, feminist practice of consciousness-raising to bring widespread visibility to the politics of the female body. Hayes' works In the Near Future (2007-09) and Everything Else Has Failed! Don't You Think It's Time for Love? (2007), draw attention to issues concerning counterpublics through obliquely referential personal and political narratives. These works all mobilize a performing, protesting body whose corporeality mediates the audience's political realizations, past memories and current subjecthood. / Art History

The decision to build a new swimming hall in Visby at Gotland creates opportunities to reuse the old one, Solbergabadet, for another function. The new function, a Performance Art Center, opens up for a study of how a building made for a very specific function could be used for something else in the future. The transformation process brings up questions about material meetings and how the earlier function as a swimming hall could be a part of the new design process and architecture. By reusing a part of the interior structure as a stage and adding a new reusable structure that is more adapted for the new function, the proposal highlights the architecture of transformations of different types of buildings that also will be more important in the future. By this, the history of the building and the earlier function will still be alive but in a new shape in combination with components that the new function requires.

[ES] En esta tesis se formula una teoría analítica y de aplicación práctica en la que la performance se presenta como un proceso artístico interdisciplinar, creativo y complejo constituído por diversas fases temporales desarrolladas de forma sucesiva. A partir de este planteamiento, la investigación se centra en la fase de preparación de la acción concertada, considerando la planificación de la misma como un recurso creativo, lúdico e inventivo en el que se emplean dispositivos gráficos como partituras, anotaciones, dibujos, diagramas o esquemas. Esta teoría se expone con el objetivo de expandir los límites de la performance hacia otros espacios versátiles de intervención, desde la ideación hasta la documentación de la obra, en un tránsito creativo que incluye el antes, durante y después de la acción artística. / [EN] In this thesis, an analytical theory and practical application is formulated in which the performance is presented as an interdisciplinary, creative and complex art process consisting of different temporal phases developed successively.
