1	Prince of Haiti/King of Paris: The Research, the Creative Process and the Script Siebrecht, Kyle 01 January 2008 (has links) Prince of Haiti/King of Paris is an original theatre piece containing eighteenth-century period recreations of the music, dance, opera and ritual on the French colonial island of Saint-Domingue, now Haiti. The reconstructions, several of which have not heretofore been attempted, include the French Baroque style, African heritage, and styles including both of these influences. They are based on the descriptive writings of Moreau de Saint-Méry (Martinique 1750 ? Paris 1819). The script centers on the life of this noted French Caribbean jurist and journal writer, who found himself at the helm of the French Revolution on Bastille Day, and at the hub of a scandal that rocked both Paris and Saint-Domingue when he was appointed governor of the island. Was Moreau de Saint-Méry an abolitionist? This question is passionately debated in the courtroom scene at the climax of the theatre piece. The thesis includes descriptions of the research behind the theatrical piece, and of the creative process including multiple workshops, and the script in English with footnotes, and in French.

3	An investigation of excess as symptomatic of Neo-Baroque identified in the work of selected South African artists Greyvenstein, Lisa 22 August 2013 (has links) This research investigates the Neo-Baroque aesthetic of excess in contemporary South African art, and explores reasons for the emergence of this style. It investigates artists who use their bodies as a site of resistance, to contest or reconstruct the dominant social values which establish differences between bodies to place them within the marginal position of ‘Other’. This investigation relates to post-colonial concerns. The artists’ exploitation of the Neo-Baroque aesthetic of excess as a comment on social concerns reveals a sense of crisis within South African society, similar to the conditions from which the seventeenth century Baroque style evolved. Neo-Baroque aesthetics of excess manifest in a variety of ways, and are particularly evident when artists transgress social boundaries placed on the body through abject and erotic associations. Excess ultimately arises from complexity, as hybrid art forms are created from the combination of media and content found within the art work. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Visual Arts / unrestricted Body politics Baroque Abject Minette Vari Spectacle Rose Tracey Post-colonialism Other Neo-baroque New media Nandipha Mntambo Hybird Nicholas Hlobo Leora Faber Excess Eroticism Cultural resistance Contemporary south african art Steven Cohen UCTD
