Rapt and En-chanted: Carmelo Bene’s Voice and the Beyond of Theatre
Carmelo Bene (1937–2002) was an Italian theatre artist who radically transformed the practice and conception of Western theatre from a series of points of view. He dramaturgically re-conceived famous plays, innovatively worked on voice, and reached to film and music, as well as engaged his theatre vision with philosophy. This introductory essay on Bene’s philosophical thought and theatrical praxis seeks to arouse interest in his work among Englis…
The Marionette of Heinrich von Kleist: A Dancing Model
Heinrich von Kleist’s conception of the marionette, as articulated in his renowned essay “The Puppet Theatre,” remains provocative today. With the marionette, I argue, Kleist drafts for the actor a theoretical model informed by grace. In Kleist’s reconsideration of the process of performing, dance plays a significant part. Dance also leaves significant traces in Kleist’s plays, particularly Penthesilea and Katie of Heilbronn, two complementary ex…
The Voice from the 10th Row: Carl Weber and the Berliner Ensemble
During his time working with the Berliner Ensemble, Carl Weber observed firsthand Brecht’s techniques as he called out directions to his actors from the 10th row. Weber, groundbreaking theatre director, actor, scholar, and pedagogue, gave a series of interviews during his final years with a group of faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students at Stanford University, reflecting on the artistic processes of the Berliner Ensemble and its le…
Choreographing Expressionist Paintings: Claudia Contin Arlecchino Dances Egon Schiele
Over three decades, Italian actor Claudia Contin Arlecchino and theater director Ferruccio Merisi collaborated on tragedia dell’arte, a tanztheater technique based on the works of Austrian Expressionist painter Egon Schiele. Detecting formal relations between painted figure and performatic gesture, and composing such gestures into choreography, Contin Arlecchino and Merisi derived a figural dance from Schiele’s visual works. By connecting paintin…
Carmelo Bene and the gap in the actor’s gesture
When Italian actor, director, and writer Carmelo Bene conceived Lorenzaccio (1986), under the same title he created a philosophical tale and a performance about Lorenzino De’ Medici. In these works, Bene offers a provocative reflection on the relation existing between the presentness of the act and the historiographical attempt to account for it, once it has passed and been deemed historical action. Questioning representation as a tool of histori…
Maud Robart, Student/Teacher: Collaborating with Grotowski
Intermittently from 1977 to 1993, Maud Robart and Jerzy Grotowski worked together through the Polish director’s various post-theatre phases. Archival research reveals a rare professional collaboration that went beyond the relationship Grotowski had with other students. Robart and Grotowski created a reciprocal relationship that allowed them to be simultaneously student and teacher to one another. Exchanging singing and dancing with acting techniq…
A Meditation on Stillness: Ann Carlson’s Picture Jasper Ridge
Ann Carlson’s Picture Jasper Ridge was a performance hike in nature: spectators walked through tableaux vivants based on archival photographs. Carlson’s investigation of the apparatuses of archive, performance, natural preserve, and photography fostered meditative thinking about the phenomenology of performance that unfolded through the experience of performing still
