Social Performance Studies
Social performance studies is a new brand of performance studies with Chinese characteristics, focusing on actions performed outside of the theatre, and especially on professional activities meant to have definite effects on particular recipients and spectators
Dramatizing the West in Chinese Spoken Drama
Arguing from Foucault's theory of the disappearing author, C. Fei claims that Chinese playwrights do not place individualistic signatures on their work, a phenomenon particularly noticeable in plays dealing with China's foreign relations of the 1949-1976 period. She investigates the anti-imperialist huaju drama of that era, during which the outside world was perceived according to Maoist doctrine as the enemy and foreigners were considered devils…
Masks or Faces Re-Visited
Masks or Faces is a phrase William Archer used to title his I888 book on the psychology of the actor. His Ibsenian argument, that emotion and passion genuinely change the actor's face, left little room for the metaphorical mask, let alone real masks onstage.

I want to further the tradition of realistic drama, to learn the aesthetic principles of China's traditional arts from an advanced perspective, to draw critically from all valuable sources of experimental theatre, including modern theatre. In short, I want to capture the development …
Between Worlds
The Colored Theatre in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES, September I99o-June I99I-The Colored Museum is the play that first won George C. Wolfe fame not only in New York but in Los Angeles in 1988. In the I990/91 season Wolfe, in his premiere ofJelly's LastJam at L.A.'s Mark Taper Forum, portrayed a man spending his life de-coloring himself: Jazz musician Jelly Roll Morton who historically denied his blackness. Nevertheless, this was the most talked about black show in town, with only two …
