Practitioners we looked at in reference for our performance:
Sarah Kane
Sarah Kane was an English playright who lived from 1971 - 1999. Her plays deal with very little emphasis on charachter but a high focus on emotion such as trust, love, hate, fear. And after looking at the Rasa boxes and the Theatr Nowy production i decided to look back on some Kane as i felt the emotions that were delivered in her plays provided the right level of atmosphere that we needed to gain.
Richard Schechner
Richard Schechner wrote a book called ‘The Future of Ritual’. In this Schechner looks into ritualistic behavior and how it relates to performance and politics which fists in nicely with my archive research on Theatr Nowy . He questions the meaning of culture in today's multicultural society. He uses archival research to make statements and to answer questions.
Graeme Miller - LinkedM1
In 1999 the M11 Link Road was completed. gong through east London and consequently destroying over four hundred. Miller decided to go and speak to the people who either lived or worked in this three mile demolition zone, he recorded some of the interviews and placed transmitters all along the M1 link road where the houses were destroyed and holds walks where people go and pick a receiver from their local library and can go walk along the 4 mile stretch hearing the stories of the people or 'hidden voices'.
“I am an emotional plagiarist, stealing other people's pain, subsuming it into my own until I can't remember whose it is any more.”
― Sarah Kane
