Amputating Shakespeare: Theater Becoming-Theater
Thu, April 8, 12:00 to 1:00pm EDT (12:00 to 1:00pm EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-Arts and Inquiry in the Visual and Performing Arts in Education Roundtable SessionsAbstract
Concepts drawn from philosopher Gilles Deleuze, at times in collaboration with Félix Guattari, appear as characters on an academic stage composed of human and non-human bodies, forces, events, texts, and concepts. This dramatic action aims to creatively reanimate material debris of a live theatrical event that amputated and transformed Shakespeare scenes using methods taken from Antonin Artaud’s First Manifesto of the Theatre of Cruelty to create a theatre becoming-theatre. This second creative act dramatizes the live performance with Deleuzoguattarian concepts and processes in an effort to generate affects on an academic stage.
