Everywhere You Look documents the genesis, production process, performance history, and rewrites of a script informed by a concern for social justice issues in contemporary America. In the quest to generate believable, naturalistic dialogue and behavior informed by important questions of religious conviction, civil liberties, and the viability of violence as a political solution, the script is cast as social realism. After a discussion of the critical context in which the play exists, the lessons and pitfalls of collaboration in the production process are charted. A rewritten script is generated from a process of performance, talk-backs sessions, and committee recommendations. The thesis document includes Appendices containing pre-production and post-production versions of the script, as well as images from the program and color photos of the original thesis production.

The Red Scare of 1919-1920 has been presented as a wave of anti-Radical hysteria that swept post WWI America; a hysteria to which the state reluctantly capitulated to by arresting Radicals and deporting those alien Radicals they deemed most threatening. This presentation, however, is ludicrous when the motivations of the state and its conservative allies are examined. The truth of the matter was that almost all of the people targeted by the Red Scare represented no significant threat to the institutions of the United States and were merely targeted for holding Leftwing ideas, or being connected to a group that did. This work examines how the Red Scare deportations were used as a performance to gain power and funding for the Bureau of Investigation and how the Bureau sought to use this performance to set itself up as the premier anti-Radical agency in the United States. While the topic of the Red Scare of 1919-1920 has been thoroughly covered, most works on the subject attempt to cover the whole affair or even address it as part of a larger study of political repression in the United States. In these accounts these authors do not see the Red Scare as a performance, which culminated in the Soviet Ark deportations, put on by the BI in order to fulfill its goal of expanding its own importance. This work addresses the events leading up to climactic sailing of the Soviet Ark, as political theater put on by the BI and its allies in order to impress policy makers and other conservative interest groups. Since the Soviet Ark deportations were the climax of the Red Scare performance, this work addresses the event as a theatrical production and follows a three act dramatic structure. It begins by exploring the cast of characters, both individuals and organizations, in the BI’s performance. This is followed by an analysis of the rising action of the BI, and other reactionary iii groups in the evolution of their grand performance. Finally the deportations serve as the climax of the Red Scare in this performance that the BI and its allies would use to justify an expansion of their influence. Through the use of government records, biographies, and first hand accounts, this work explores the Soviet Ark deportations as the high point of the first Red Scare, the point in which the BI and its allies took their quest for expanded power the furthest before having to change course. The grand performance that the Bureau of Investigation put on is looked at, not as a response to placate others – something the BI was merely swept up in – but as a performance that they designed to meet the specific needs of their campaign to grow their agency, a performance for which they were willing to draft those that represented no real threat despite the consequences to those individuals.

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi desenvolver um estudo sobre a imagem poética do Nuevo Teatro Latino-Americano. A análise desenvolvida, a partir do ponto de vista da Sociologia da Arte, buscou o deslindamento dessa imagem nas encenações teatrais representativas dos principais grupos do movimento: TEC e LA CANDELÁRIA da Colômbia. Parte-se de uma primeira hipótese de que essa imagem poética repousa sobre princípios que remontam às vanguardas do início do século XX. Parte-se de uma segunda hipótese de que encenadores de parte das obras teatrais representativas do movimento do Nuevo Teatro, para além de seu engajamento sócio-político já constatado, empreenderam, consciente ou inconscientemente, uma busca estética que pode dialogar em muitos pontos com a vanguarda russa do século XX. Experiência em que vigorou de forma orgânica a confluência entre vanguarda artística e vanguarda política. Por meio de múltiplos caminhos, alguns não aparentes e subterrâneos, pode-se afirmar, que houve influências de princípios do teatro de vanguarda russo, mais precisamente do teatro de Meyerhold, sobre o Nuevo Teatro, evidentes nas imagens cênicas construídas em suas obras teatrais. A partir da violência e barbárie da Conquista, as sociedades da América Latina foram se configurando sob o signo da fragmentação, o que gerou desde sua origem a busca pela unidade do Ser. O alcance da criação de imagens poéticas de sua produção teatral da segunda metade do século XX revela um relativo amadurecimento desta busca. Representa não um ponto de chegada propriamente dito, mas uma aproximação ao reconhecimento do que significou, significa e significará ser latino-americano. / This work intends to develop a study on the poetical image of the \"Nuevo Teatro Latino-Americano\". From the Sociology of the Arts point of view the analysis sought to explicate this image in the theatrical presentations representative of the main groups of the movement: TEC and the Colombian LA CANDELÀRIA. The first hypothesis surmises that this poetical image rests upon principles that go back to the vanguards of the early 20th Century. A second hypothesis considers that those staging part of the theatrical works representative of the Nuevo Teatro movement, in addition to their already detected social-political commitment, consciously or unconsciously pursued an esthetical quest able to establish a wide ranging dialogue with the Russian vanguard of the 20th Century. An experience that strengthened in an organic manner the confluence between the artistic and the political vanguards. Through multiple routes, some not apparent and subterranean, it can be stated that the Russian vanguard theater principles, more precisely, the Meyerhold theater had an influence, on the Nuevo Teatro, clearly seen in the scenic images constructed in their theatrical works. After the violence and barbarism of Conquest, Latin American societies were being shaped under the sign of fragmentation which generated, as from their origin, the quest for unison of the Being. In the second half of the 20th Century, the scope of the Nuevo Teatro poetical image creation discloses a relative maturity of this quest. It does not embody a true point of arrival, but an approximation to the acknowledgment of what it meant, means and will mean to be Latin-American.

Comment une œuvre d’art peut-elle agir politiquement sans être une œuvre militante ? La réponse de Vinaver, dès la fin des années 1940, est singulière : l’oeuvre sera politique de par sa matérialité même ; les idées seront immanentes à l’écriture. Mais il ne se contente pas de formuler cette réponse, il nous laisse comprendre que la bonne question se pose plus simplement encore : "comment une œuvre peut-elle agir politiquement ?" (les oeuvres « militantes », en effet, n’agissent pas véritablement, ou, si elles agissent un moment, s’éteignent très rapidement). Notre travail a donc consisté à examiner cette matérialité. Le phénomène majeur en est le collage (juxtaposition et non-intentionnalité). Un "dépouillement" des archives était nécessaire. Mais pourquoi Vinaver a-t-il choisi le théâtre et s’y est-il tenu ? Précisément parce que le théâtre est le genre où l’auteur risque le moins de faire entendre sa voix, ses idées. Dans 11 septembre 2001, sa dernière pièce, il n’invente même plus, mais se contente de découper et coller ; l’auteur s’efface derrière le compositeur. Cette pièce est essentielle pour la compréhension de toute sa poétique – on y trouve à la fois plus de copie et plus de poésie, plus de réel mais aussi plus de rituel (et l’effectivité de son théâtre se manifeste notamment dans la refondation d’une communauté, ou d’une "société contre l’État"). Le fait que les quatre études d’ensemble sur son œuvre (Ubersfeld, Elstob, Bradby et Göbler-Lingens) aient été publiées avant 2001 nous a convaincu d’écrire une thèse. / How can a work of art be politically efficient without being militant? Vinaver’s answer to this question, formulated at the end of the 1940s, is unusual: the work will be political through its own materiality; its ideas will be immanent to the writing itself. But the playwright does not leave it at that and suggests that the true question can to be rephrased in even simpler terms: "how can a work of art be politically efficient?" ("militant" works of art can’t be said to be really efficient, and if they are for a while, their action does not last for very long). My work has therefore been to examine the materiality of Vinaver’s work. Its main principle is that of collage (juxtapositions and non-intentionality). A whole body of archives had to be closely looked at. And yet, why did Vinaver choose theater, and why did he stand by that choice? Specifically because, as a genre, theater allows the voice and the ideas of the author to be subdued. For 11 September 2001, Vinaver’s last play, he no longer invented anything anymore but limited his work to cutting and pasting ; the author disappears behind the composer. This play is essential to the whole understanding of Vinaver’s poetics – this is where we find more collages and more poetry, more of the real and more of the ritual (the efficiency of his theater is notably expressed through the creation of a community, or a "society against the State"). The fact that the four comprehensive studies of his work (Ubersfeld, Elstob, Bradby et Göbler- Lingens) were published before 2001 was decisive in deciding to start and complete this PhD thesis.

Wajdi Mouawad artiste québécois d'origine Libanaise n'accepte pas l'étiquette de « théâtre politique ». Cependant son travail est le reflet d'un théâtre engagé tant par les thèmes qu'il aborde que par son refus de compromis dans le domaine de la création artistique. Mouawad est un artiste qui aime prendre la parole quitte à se faire des ennemis dans la presse, dans l'opinion publique, dans le monde du spectacle, mais aussi parmi les politiciens. Malgré son refus d'appartenir au courant de théâtre politique nous verrons au sein de cette thèse en quoi son art se rapproche de ce cette mouvance artistique dont il est important de (re)définir les contours. De plus, nous verrons de quels messages son théâtre est porteur. Nous tenterons aussi de comprendre les raisons de sa méfiance face à ce courant qui « rebute » plus d'un auteur contemporain. / Wajdi Mouawad is a Lebanese - born Canadian playwright turned actor who refuses the label of political playwright. And yet, his work reflects political theatre by the themes he chooses and by his refusal to make compromises in his art. Mouawad is someone who likes to speak up even if it means making enemies in the press, in the public opinion, in the world of theatre, and also in the world of politics. Despite the fact that he refuses to be labelled à political playwright, in this thesis, my aim is to study to what degree his art resembles political theatre, a genre that needs to be redefined. In addition, I will examine the message his plays relay and the reasons of his distrust towards this genre that doesn't seem to appeal to many a contemporary writer.

O presente estudo analisa os procedimentos formais do jornal vivo, forma teatral fundamentada na encenação de notícias, conforme o gênero configurou-se nos Estados Unidos e no Brasil. Para tanto, define como objeto, do lado estadunidense, o jornal vivo Injuction Granted (Liminar é Concedida), produzido no âmbito do Federal Theatre Project (Projeto Federal de Teatro), iniciativa do Governo de Franklin Roosevelt para lidar com o desemprego provocado pela Grande Depressão, na década de 1930. Do lado brasileiro, faz-se uma leitura de Teatro Jornal: Primeira Edição, exposição didática de nove técnicas de encenação desenvolvidas por jovens artistas reunidos no Teatro de Arena de São Paulo e sistematizadas pelo teatrólogo Augusto Boal. O trabalho é introduzido por uma breve história da forma do jornal vivo, consolidada no período da Revolução Soviética, que procura apresentar suas principais manifestações e alguns dos caminhos que percorreu, principalmente nas décadas de 1920 e 1930. Demonstra-se que o jornal vivo sempre foi uma forma teatral ancorada na luta dos trabalhadores, sendo uma vertente central da arte de agitação e propaganda. A análise de suas manifestações nos Estados Unidos e no Brasil, dessa maneira, leva em conta o momento histórico dos países quando da produção das referidas peças, tentando relacionar conformação estética e horizonte político continuamente. O materialismo histórico ampara tal reflexão e, mais especificamente, sua aplicação ao pensamento sobre teatro, consubstanciada na teoria do teatro épico, desenvolvida por pensadores como Bertolt Brecht, Peter Szondi e Anatol Rosenfeld. / This is a study of the formal procedures of the living newspapers a theatrical form based on the theatricalization of news according to their configuration in the United States of America and in Brazil. Therefore, the work defines as an object in the American side the living newspaper Injunction Granted, a play staged under the Federal Theatre Project, which was one of Franklin Roosevelts programs to deal with unemployment during the Great Depression in the 1930s. In the Brazilian side, the focus is on Teatro Jornal: Primeira Edição (Theatre Newspaper: First Edition), a didactic exposition of nine staging techniques developed by young artists which had joined Teatro de Arena de São Paulo, as systematized by director Augusto Boal. This study begins with a short history of the form of the living newspaper which was cemented during the Soviet Revolution that tries to present its main ways of actualization and some of the paths taken by this genre, chiefly in the 1920s and 1930s. The work demonstrates that the living newspapers were always anchored on the workers struggle and are a central strand of the art of agitation and propaganda. Thus the examination of the American and Brazilian manifestations of the genre takes into account the historical conjuncture of both countries at the time the plays were produced, trying to continuously relate aesthetic conformation and political horizon. Historical materialism supports that reflection more specifically its application on the ideas about theater which were consubstantiated in the theory of the epic theater, developed by thinkers as Bertolt Brecht, Peter Szondi and Anatol Rosenfeld.

The poetics involved in making this kind of theater focuses towards issues that refer to the social organization of women, be it within personal or social realms, for both these are related to political and social issues. Being that one of its characteristics is polysemy, feminist theater opens different possibilities in its creative process. Feminist theater can be considered a political theater because it deals with feminist issues, consequently dealing with the idea of polis, therefore constitutes a possible tool for triggering educational attitudes. Although the debate surrounding this theme has been sedimented in the United States and England since the 1960´s, in Brazil it is still in the process of being diffused within the academic realm, and for this reason receives due attention in this work. In order to carry forward this discussion, it became necessary to comprehend what feminism is, being that it is a term (whose concept presents itself) with certain incompleteness. Therefore, a choice was made to present historical passages of the feminist movement, which also provided insight into the implied ideologies, in order to understand the development of their proposals, as well as some of the important transformations that occurred in the social structure. To understand what feminist theater is, in relation to referrals from discussions of activists in the theater, the construction of the image of women in society, and the routing of criticism in artistic productions in respect to the representability of women in the scene, it was necessary to conduct a survey of critical theories and practices of the U.S. and British experiences, to discuss ideological, aesthetic and poetic issues within the relationship between theater and feminism. The object of this research is devoted to the discussion of the scenario of Brazilian feminist productions. In relation to this type of theater, the work of two Brazilian actresses are presented: Colla and Azevedo, legitimizing the presence and voice of these actresses, as well as giving visibility to their artistic productions. A dialogue is established with the work of these actresses in order to articulate the theory of feminist theater, with its aesthetic, poetic and ideological practices, bringing to Brazil the discussion of feminist theater. Finally, some perspectives are drawn to contribute to the improvement of Brazilian theater production, giving it visibility and promoting its growth / Esta pesquisa traz a reflexão sobre o teatro feminista brasileiro, uma prática teatral que busca diferentes formas de criação em sua estética. A poética desse fazer teatral está voltada para questões referentes à mulher na organização social, sejam elas pessoais ou de ordem social, pois ambos os tipos estão relacionados a questões políticas e sociais. Tendo como uma das características a polissemia, o teatro feminista abre diferentes possibilidades para seu processo de criação. O teatro feminista pode ser considerado um teatro político, pois trata de questões da agenda feminista, consequentemente referentes à polis, e assim constitui possível ferramenta para o desencadeamento de atitudes pedagógicas. Embora a discussão em torno da temática aqui em questão se encontre sedimentada nos Estados Unidos e Inglaterra desde os anos 1960, no Brasil ainda está em processo de difusão em âmbito acadêmico, e por isso recebe, neste trabalho, a devida atenção. Para levar a termo esta discussão tornou-se necessário compreender melhor o que é feminismo, por se tratar de um termo que apresenta certa incompletude como conceito. Assim sendo, fez-se a opção por apresentar algumas passagens históricas do movimento feminista, o que propiciou também o esclarecimento sobre as ideologias implicadas, de modo a compreender como ocorreu o desenvolvimento de suas propostas, assim como algumas das importantes transformações ocorridas na estrutura social. Para compreender o que é teatro feminista, em relação aos encaminhamentos das discussões das ativistas no teatro, à construção da imagem da mulher na sociedade, e ao encaminhamento da crítica em suas produções artísticas no que diz respeito à representatividade da mulher na cena, foi preciso realizar um levantamento sobre as teorias críticas e as práticas das experiências das estadunidenses e britânicas, que discutem questões ideológicas, estéticas e poéticas na articulação entre teatro e feminismo. O objeto de pesquisa é voltado à discussão em torno das encenações brasileiras de caráter feminista. Com relação a esse tipo de teatro, são apresentados os trabalhos de duas atrizes brasileiras: Colla e Azevedo, legitimando a presença e voz dessas atrizes, assim como dando visibilidade a suas produções artísticas. É estabelecido um diálogo com o trabalho dessas atrizes com o objetivo de articular a teoria do teatro feminista com suas práticas estéticas, poéticas e ideológicas, localizando no Brasil a discussão sobre o teatro feminista. Finalmente, são traçadas algumas perpectivas visando contribuir com o aperfeiçoamento da produção teatral brasileira, dando-lhe visibilidade e promovendo seu incremento

O objetivo principal dessa pesquisa é imergir nos processos de criação e trabalho atorial para cenas de teatro nas ruas da cidade, tendo como parâmetro as minhas memórias pessoais relativas ao trabalho com o coletivo Teatro de Operações e experiências práticas realizadas em laboratório. Desde 2009, o grupo desenvolve um trabalho associando teatro/performance de rua com ativismo político. O coletivo atua tanto no campo artístico, implementando ações cênicas/performativas nas ruas de diversas cidades, como no campo da pedagogia, através de pesquisas acadêmicas, participação em programas sociais, além da realização de oficinas destinadas à transmissão/troca de procedimentos de criação artística do ator/performer de rua. Esse trabalho investigativo se debruça, justamente, sobre esse aspecto do trabalho do grupo que se prontifica a sistematizar seus procedimentos de criação artísticos para que possam ser transmitidos e replicados por outros artistas, alimentando uma cadeia de ação pedagógica que caminha no sentido de ampliar a dimensão do sentido político do trabalho do grupo. O que se pretende é, a partir de uma perspectiva crítica, entender como estes processos de criação podem ser sistematizados de forma a se constituírem em uma metodologia de transmissão exequível - testável em laboratório - e ventilar o estabelecimento de uma possível pedagogia para teatro de rua e política. Em um percurso talvez não muito ortodoxo, a dissertação abre explanando os conceitos que embasam sua estrutura textual e depois se desdobra em três principais pontos de interesse: 1- Sobre formas de se constituir um coletivo de ação/trabalho. 2 - Uma intensa discussão sobre teatro de rua, teatro político, a relação entre esses dois termos e como eles dialogam com o trabalho do Teatro de Operações. 3 - Um olhar sobre a cidade e o modo como se dão as relações de sociabilidade em meio à vida urbana. E, por fim, considerações e provocações finais no capítulo de fechamento. Em paralelo ao percurso teórico, faz parte da proposta a realização de laboratórios práticos e há, portanto, uma atenção especial para utilizar esse material como forma de ilustrar exemplos e esmiuçar técnicas. / The main objective of this research is to immerse in the processes of theater creation and acting or scenes on the streets, having, as a parameter, my personal memories related to the collective Theater of Operations work and practical experiences realized in laboratory. Since 2009, the group has developed a work associating street theater / performance with political activism. The collective acts both in the artistic field, implementing scenic / performative actions in the streets of various cities, as well as in the field of pedagogy, through academic research, participation in social programs, as well as workshops for the transmission / exchange of artistic creation procedures for street acting / performing. This investigative course focuses precisely on this aspect of the group´s work that systematize its procedures of artistic creation so that they can be transmitted and replicated by other artists, feeding a pedagogical chain of action that is going to put the group´s political sense in higher levels. What is wanted is, from a critical perspective, to understand how these creation processes can be systematized in such a way as to constitute a feasible transmission methodology - laboratory testable - and to ventilate the establishment of a possible pedagogy for street theater and politics. In a path that is perhaps not very orthodox, the dissertation opens explaining the concepts that support its textual structure and then unfolds in three main points of interest: 1 - On ways to constitute a collective action / work. 2 - An intense discussion about street theater, political theater, the relationship between these two terms and how they dialogue with the Theater of Operations. 3 - A look at the city and the way the relations of sociability take place in the midst of urban life. And, finally, final considerations and provocations in the closing chapter. Parallel to the theoretical path, it is part of the proposal the realization of practical laboratories and there is, therefore, a special attention to use this material as a way of illustrating examples and techniques.
