This dissertation examines an Indonesian-North American version of an evolving, transnational and hybrid multimedia art form which has come about through forty years of adaptations made by cross-culturally located artists in creative conversation with Indonesian performers involved in the Javanese and Balinese forms of musical theatre known as wayang. Wayang theatre employs puppets and other components including gamelan music (Indonesian percussion instruments, drums, flutes, strings and vocals). Given this complexity, there are many possibilities for variations, changes, and hybridization. In this research project, I analyze aspects of this hybrid performance by analyzing select Indonesian-North American wayang performances, as case studies. In order to isolate complex changes and various adaptations of wayang performances in the North American setting, I also analyze and contextualize a hybridization of Javanese and Balinese wayang performances. As a performance art form, wayang has always been changing historically—at some points more quickly and dramatically than at other periods of time, thus resisting firm categorization that would provide a baseline for comparison. I have developed the wahiyang theoretical framework as an analytical tool to identify the influence of North American culture on the wayang performances in my case studies. I argue that new genre of wayang is emerging, creating a hybridized form that I call wahiyang gaya NA. This process has progressed to the point that wahiyang gaya NA can be said to represent a new genre of multimedia world art, which combines elements of local and global artistic practises, making the form even more flexible and adaptable than its original forms in Indonesia. The gradual spread and popularization of wayang in North America has definite historical contexts, namely the early 19th-to-mid 20th century conjunction of decolonization and Third World nationalism, with the more recent decades’ layering of multiculturalism and push towards conscious cultural responses to economic globalization. This developing continuum of new hybrid forms spans a spectrum of cultural inclusion and expansion of wayang and new components. At times these may be seen as wayang influence upon Western performance practice; at other times an entire Indonesian wayang production with additional elements added from Western music, theater, and other disciplines may be presented. These developments signify an enhanced and expanded exchange of cultural products between the nations of the world, taking place in an expanded space for dialogue between the artists of the developed and developing countries. I will show, using case studies, how this process has produced and is producing a new branch of wayang as part of a continuum of hybridized wayang forms. By examining selected performance collaborations that have taken place over the last 40 years, I will provide a detailed analysis, which for the first time, lays out the components that constitute the variation of wayang art performance that has developed in response to geographical and cultural contexts of the Pacific Northwest of USA and Westcoast Canada. / Graduate / 2018-04-12 / 0377, 0357, 0465 / sutrisno@uvic.ca

The purposes of this study were 1) to ascertain the effectiveness of puppets with instructional media in oral language development of culturally disadvantaged first-grade children, and 2) to derive the implications of this effect for instructors, teachers, and volunteers working in programs for the culturally disadvantaged child.

Investiga o papel do corpo no teatro de animação, um gênero teatral que elege máscaras, bonecos e objetos como seus principais meios de expressão. O ator desse teatro, conhecido como ator-animador, ator-manipulador ou ator-bonequeiro, tem como principal característica a expressão por meio dos elementos materiais acima citados. Objetivo: propor um treinamento corporal básico a esse ator, tendo como fundamentos os princípios gerais da técnica do movimento consciente (ou técnica Klauss Vianna) aplicados à linguagem do teatro de animação. Método: oficina prática realizada com atoresbonequeiros. Resultados: a sensibilização e a conscientização do corpo, tal como propostas pela técnica Klauss Vianna, auxiliaram os atores-bonequeiros a tornar mais orgânicas suas interações com elementos materiais. Favoreceram também a superação de estereótipos e de relações mecanizadas, previsíveis, com estes elementos. Conclusão: a consciência corporal é um elemento de grande importância no trabalho do ator-bonequeiro, como base prévia ao aprendizado mais técnico de animação de máscaras, bonecos e objetos, sendo também um caminho para a descoberta de novas possibilidades de relações entre o corpo do ator e o universo material. / It investigate the role of the body in the animation theater, a theatrical gender that uses masks, puppets and objects as its main way of expression. The actor of this theater, known as actor-entertainer, actormanipulator or actor-puppeteer, has as his main characteristic the expression through the material elements mentioned above. Aim: to propose a basic body training for this actor, having as its base the general principles of the conscientious movement technique (or Klauss Vianna technique) applied to the language of the animation theater. Method: hold a practical workshop with puppeteers. Results: the awareness of the body, as proposed by Klauss Viannas technique, which assisted the puppeteers to make their interactions with material elements more organic. They also favored the overcoming of stereotypes and the mechanized, predicable relations with these elements. Conclusion: the body awareness is a key element in the work of the puppeteers, as previous base for a more technical learning of animation of masks, puppets and objects, being also a way to the discovery of new possibilities concerning relationship between the body of the actor and the material universe.

En raison du peu d’écrits sur la musique destinée aux marionnettes du symbolisme à la naissance de la musique concrète, l’objet de notre thèse porte sur une mise en perspective de la musique de sept compositeurs écrite pour marionnettes et jouée à Paris entre le symbolisme et la naissance officielle de la musique concrète. Longtemps considérée comme un divertissement, la marionnette acquiert à l’aube du XXe siècle une image d’égérie des avant-gardes et devient le foyer d’expérimentations. Face à l’émergence d’écritures originales sur les plans théâtral ou plastique, nous étudierons à quels moyens expressifs la musique écrite pour marionnettes a recours, dans un langage renouvelé ou non, et comment elle peut ainsi nous éclairer sur la dimension et la nature de son rôle. Notre étude, située à la croisée de plusieurs langages, s’appuie sur l’analyse de signes communs et distinctifs dans une volonté tout d’abord de restitution diachronique à l’aide de supports d’époque, puis d’analyse synchronique à travers des recréations contemporaines. / There being few texts on music composed for puppet-shows between the time of the symbolists and the beginnings of music concrete, our thesis aims to put into perspective the music of seven composers, written for puppets and performed in Paris between 1886 and 1948. Having been regarded for a long time as mere entertainment puppet-shows are seen at the dawning of the 20th century as the driving force of the avant-garde, and the locus of experimentation. In the face of the emergence of original writing in the fields of theatre and the plastic arts, we shall study the means of expression to which music written for puppet-shows turns, either or not this is in a renewed language, and thus how it might enlighten us on the breadth and nature of its role. Our study, set where several languages meet, is based on the analysis of signs both common and distinctive with the desire first of all to create a diachronic reconstruction with the help of documents of the area, and then a synchronic analysis based on modern recreations.

Brazil, one of the largest biodiversity, could not avoid such discussions, declare it as essential to ensure human survival and the maintenance of ecological balance. Marine ecosystems are already recognized for their ecosystem services and genetic diversity that is home. However, the threats that surround it is worrying governments and society. The introduction of legally protected areas has become a conservation strategy widely used around the world. In this context, it was established the Marine State Park Areia Vermelha (PEMAV) in order to maintain a reef environment of extreme biological importance for the state of Paraiba. The PEMAV, a conservation unit (UC) for full protection, is in the area of direct influence of the estuary of the River Paraiba, nursery several marine species. Thus, the park has been the subject of studies and concerns, both from the point of view of environmental risk factors generating, as to how the human being is related, perceives and behaves opposite the conservation process. It is in this scenario that is inserted discussion around UC management tools. This study is thematic focus environmental awareness coupled with the non-formal environmental education contextualized with the weaknesses of the study area and applied in a playful manner, through the puppet theater. Thus, the study aimed to evaluate the puppet theater as an educational tool focused on environmental awareness in protected areas and to draw the perception of children's play and public PEMAV visitors with the joy of the dolls. To achieve these objectives bibliographical research was realized, document analysis and development tool based on the practices of Environmental Perception, through a questionnaire applied to the involved Bantam public. The data were analyzed by content analysis (CA) and triangulation of data. Thus, based on the interpretation of environmental perception and behavioral analysis, the results revealed positive aspects of the use of playful tool at UC and indicated aspects that need more attention to the use of puppetry in protected areas open to the public. In this context, some recommendations are immersed in the final text of this work. / A atual conjuntura do planeta envolve diversas discussões sobre a perda da diversidade biológica. O Brasil, um dos países com maior biodiversidade, não poderia evitar tais discussões, declarando-a como fundamental para assegurar a sobrevivência humana e para a manutenção do equilíbrio ecológico. Os ecossistemas marinhos já são reconhecidos pelos seus serviços ecossistêmicos e a diversidade genética que abriga. Contudo, as ameaças que o cercam vem preocupando governos e sociedade. A instituição de espaços legalmente protegidos tornou-se uma estratégia de conservação bastante utilizada em todo o mundo. Nesse contexto, foi instituído o Parque Estadual Marinho de Areia Vermelha (PEMAV) com o intuito de conservar um ambiente recifal de extrema importância biológica para o estado da Paraíba. O PEMAV, uma Unidade de conservação (UC) de proteção integral, está na área de influência direta do estuário do Rio Paraíba, berçário de várias espécies marinhas. Assim, o parque tem sido alvo de estudos e preocupações, tanto do ponto de vista dos fatores geradores de risco ambientais, quanto à forma como o ser humano se relaciona, percebe e se comporta frente ao processo conservação. É nesse cenário que está inserida a discussão em torno dos instrumentos de gestão de UC. O presente estudo tem por recorte temático a percepção ambiental aliada à educação ambiental não formal contextualizada com as fragilidades da área em estudo e aplicada de maneira lúdica, através do teatro de bonecos. Assim, o estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o teatro de bonecos enquanto ferramenta pedagógica voltada para a sensibilização ambiental em áreas protegidas, bem como extrair a percepção do público infantil participante e contagiar os visitantes do PEMAV com a alegria dos bonecos. Para alcançar tais objetivos realizou-se pesquisa bibliográfica, análise documental e elaboração de instrumento baseado nas práticas da Percepção Ambiental, através de questionário aplicado ao público mirim envolvido. Os dados foram tratados por meio da Análise de Conteúdo (AC) e triangulação dos dados. Assim, com base na interpretação da percepção ambiental e análise comportamental, os resultados revelaram aspectos positivos do uso da ferramenta lúdica na UC e indicaram aspectos que necessitam de maior atenção para utilização do teatro de bonecos em áreas protegidas abertas ao público. Neste contexto, algumas recomendações estão expostas no texto conclusivo deste trabalho.

Educational television began in 1932 at the State University of Iowa. Until 1952, the potential of its contributions to education were not fully recognized. In 1952, however, the Federal Communication Commission created non-commercial television station. From that point in time, educational television has mushroomed.

Bread and Puppet Theater's use of performing objects offers an aperture to contemplate complex assemblages that blur lines between the human and the nonhuman. Drawing upon cultural studies, feminist materialism, circus studies, and puppetry studies, I consider both the bread and the puppets as they intersect with various assemblages and fields of interpretation. These configurations demonstrate how the objects embody (non)human, material, and conceptual aspects. Because of this ability to exist within the meshes of binaries, performing objects are well suited to challenge and expose other binaries and hierarchies through three categories of analysis — movement, difference, and intra-action — based on Karan Barad's work on matter. In addition to the theoretical framework, I conducted ethnographic interviews and rely on my own experience as an apprentice at Bread and Puppet in 2004, considering myself as co-constitutive actant within the scope of analysis. I examine the way the theater uses sourdough bread and puppets as performing objects to create meaning, express ideology, apply tension within constructs of power, and demonstrate a model for co-dependent living between humans and objects / Doctor of Philosophy / Objects, despite their connections to daily life, which includes times of celebration and insurgency, remain overlooked as political actants. Bread and Puppet Theater, through performances, protests, and everyday living, places bread and puppetry as central to home and public live for puppeteers and performers. This dissertation asserts that bread and puppetry at Bread and Puppet Theater exemplify a co-creative relationship between people and things. This partnership creates tension in places of power, literal locations and within modes of thinking; simplifies and makes more accessible ideological messages; and evokes solidarity through performance. By considering bread in relation to Bread and Puppet Theater, we can see how bread becomes a fulcrum balancing between those with the most wealth and those with the least. Bread, as a symbol, is used to articulate demands. Its presence alone at protests suggests a list of demands regarding redistribution of wealth, fair wages, and food. As a symbol that touches the lives of all, it becomes an object that can evoke solidarity as a symbol but also as a product that is consumed and shared. Puppetry is exemplary of shared creation between people and objects. The rod puppets used at Bread and Puppet are especially suited to blurring demarcations between these two actants. Embodying this in-between space allows puppets to interrogate and blur other sets of binaries — the sacred and the profane, the religious and the secular, rich and the poor, state power and people, war and peace, and so on. This liminal, blurred space primes puppetry to challenge structures of power during political performances and protests. Ultimately this project considers how objects become central to political action and how, if thoughtfully mobilized, could operate as counter actants within times of turmoil.

La marionnette, petite Marie d’après son étymologie, figure réduite à l’image de l’homme, être diminutif ou condensé, actrice « dramatico-végétale » selon l’écrivain Carlo Collodi, amuse, effraie ou fascine depuis toujours l’être humain. Nous en trouvons des traces dès l’Antiquité en occident. Telle l’automate Olympia dans L’Homme au sable d’Ernst Hoffmann, qui inspira à Freud le concept d’ « Inquiétante étrangeté », la marionnette fait douter le spectateur : celui-ci ressent une étrange impression à la vue d’un objet sans vie qui paraît animé, un malaise comparable à celui qu’il éprouve en voyant une personne se comporter en « Homme-machine » (La Mettrie).Ce travail propose d’explorer l’existence paradoxale des figures inanimées dans le but d’expliquer comment celles-ci semblent prendre vie, mourir ou ressusciter à l’envi. A quel projet artisanal ou fantasme démiurgique répond la fabrication des créatures artificielles ? Comment l’esprit vient aux objets ? Quelles parts occupent le mouvement impulsé par le manipulateur et les croyances et projections du spectateur dans ce mystérieux phénomène d’animation ? Ce travail qui s’inscrit dans le domaine des études théâtrales traverse d’autres champs disciplinaires, notamment la littérature, la psychanalyse, la philosophie, l’anthropologie et l’histoire. / The puppet, or marionnete, - little Marie etymologically –, a human model, in reduction, a diminutive or condensed creature, a « dramatico-vegetable » actor in the eyes of writer Carlo Collodi, has always amused, frightened or fascinated mankind. Traces of puppets are to be found early in western ancient times. In much the same way as the automaton Olympia, in Ernst Hoffmann's The Sand Man, inspired Freud's concept of « disquieting strangeness », (Unheimliche), the puppet creates doubt in the spectator's mind : the latter feels strange when viewing an inanimate object apparently gifted with life, an unease akin to that which one feels if confronted with a human behaving like a ' « Man-machine » (La Mettrie).This work aims at exploring the paradoxical world of inanimate figures in order to explain how those seem to acquire life, lose it or come to life again at will. To what craft project or demiurgic fantasy does the making of artificial creatures answer ? How does the soul come to those objects ? What are the shares of the motions impulsed by the puppet manipulator and the beliefs and projections of the spectators, in that mysterious phenomenon of animation. The present work, although fully belonging to the field of drama studies, crosses others, notably literature, psychoanalysis, philosophy, anthropology and history.

Para tanto, adotam-se princípios e procedimentos da pesquisa-ação e, por isso, da metodologia qualitativa de análise. A professora-pesquisadora utilizou, em sala de aula, material didático elaborado por ela mesma em um estudo anterior. As aulas de inglês gravadas para este estudo ocorreram em uma turma de educação infantil de uma escola particular do Vale dos Sinos. A geração de dados, que ocorria uma vez por semana, durante três meses e meio, foi realizada em uma turma composta por 20 alunos, sendo que 10 eram meninas e 10 eram meninos. À primeira vista, as filmagens pareciam revelar grande recorrência de seqüências IRA nas interações. Contudo, a análise empreendida sugere outra interpretação das ações / This study seeks to investigate the role of using the Initiation – Response – Evaluation & Initiation – Response – Follow up sequences (hereafter IRE & IRF), as well as the role of puppets in fostering the use of the target language and the development of new identities in the second language classroom researched. In order to do so, principles and procedures of action-research, and therefore, from qualitative methodology of analysis were adopted. The researcher-teacher applied, in her classroom, didactic material that she had elaborated in a previous study. The classes of English recorded for the present study took place in a kindergarten class of a private school located in Vale do Rio dos Sinos. The recordings, which occurred once a week, during three months and a half, were made in a class composed by 20 students, of whom 10 were boys and 10 were girls. In a preliminary analysis, the recordings seemed to disclose a great deal of IRE sequences in the interactions. However, upon closer inspection, the analys
