ABSTRACT This essay argues that the heuristic practice of bifurcating the narrator in Chamber Theatre adaptations of literature offers the performance ethnographer a strategy for identifying narrative tensions in ethnographic writing. I review arguments establishing the literary fictional nature of ethnographic writing and the subsequent use of metafiction by scholars to address the concerns brought about by “the crisis of representation.” I identify invention, convention, and recognition as narrative perspectives at Burning Man that are useful to performance ethnographers navigating the tension between chaos and legibility.

ABSTRACT This essay considers the conceptual diversity in the current discourse on dramaturgy within contemporary theater making and adds an embodied maternal dramaturgy. Featuring interviews with six prominent women directors who are mothers, the essay presents key mothering moments and their presence in rehearsal practice. The essay highlights the corporeal knowledge of the postpartum director, and the kinds of adjustments to practices and work models that emerge from the needs of the director as mother. We present a mothering dramaturgy as a political act: a process that disrupts and unsettles divisions of labor, social constructs, and commonly accepted notions of body.

ABSTRACT As extinction becomes one of the most pressing crises of our time, projects that engage with nonhuman lives have emerged as a visible fixture of the creative landscape. This raises the question of what role creative explorations might play in shaping public discourse and action around extinction. In moving towards an answer to this question, this work draws on conversations with performance artists who have engaged with the topic of bee decline. This research establishes the value of performance for inspiring empathy and encouraging questioning, widening participation, and bringing learning into connection with tangible action through developing audience agency.

ABSTRACT This essay engages performative writing to enact a scene of metonymic remembering in the New Jewish Cemetery, Lublin on the Catholic Feast of Corpus Christi. In 2019, I traveled to Poland to write about empty shoes, metonymy, and Holocaust memory and found myself caught off guard by a destroyed pre-war Jewish cemetery. This essay traces my excessive, defamiliarized remembering as I spun out past metonymy and back again, grappling with remembering in(to) a landscape of emptiness. As it marks both my contemporary remembering and the scene of the cemetery, defamiliarization expands metonymically to encompass the ontology of performance itself.

ABSTRACT This essay utilizes performative writing to explore the themes of disappearance and survival as a means of surveying and addressing the role of adaptation in performance studies praxis. Utilizing theories of collecting and writing, I trace the contributions made by performance studies via the metonym of the show poster. I argue that the art of adaption provides an uncanny relay for both individual artists and the field of performance studies at large, as its body of knowledge provides unique resources in our collective negotiation and response to the global catastrophe wrought by the Covid-19 virus.

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the failure of communication and how information gets filtered through my video work The Letters of Shadow Puppets. It is a video capturing a site-specific installation of twisting Venetian blinds, with a text of conversation stuck on each side. The conversation belongs to the traditional shadow puppets Karagöz and Hacivat who are known for their misunderstandings due to their divergent cultural backgrounds. Karagöz theater, serves as a vehicle to discuss miscommunication and the transmission of information. Both the work and the paper investigate what happens during a misunderstanding, how two parties communicate and how we receive information.

To take an insight from Lippert’s paper (Ch. 7), which brings us to the enchanted forests of the novel Barkskins where migrant woodcutters in the so-called New World lose themselves to the rhythm of their dull axes, the grind of nation building cannot be disentangled from the breeze of songs, words, and fantasies. It might be that scholars of performance are not too different from queer fan cultures like the ones Horn explores in a study of Lady Gaga’s digital followers (Ch. 10), who are ever looking for the magical Monster Ball. The magic of space and time travel that the collection performs is aptly rendered in the coda to the last chapter by Linda Sturtz. In searching for the location of the graveyard through which the enslaved Jamaicans of yesteryear would pass into the spirit world of their homes of freedom, we encounter a tombstone repurposed as a paving stone. And so, as this collection demonstrates, that which has passed and keeps passing is precisely what keeps us moving into place.

ABSTRACT The project choreographs revolt as performed in Butoh willful stillness. Stillness is a political intervention, which in its slow and sustained study reveals the functioning of in/visible economies of violence. Indeed, Butoh aesthetic of stillness, demands self-reflexivity that troubles voyeuristic passivity to create space for ethically facing the other in moments of violent cultural annihilations and suffering. Beyond underscoring the role of performance art in confronting the apathy of observing and consuming violence, the essay exemplifies Butoh as a choreographic method that performs the discomfort of seeing, thus, cuts across academic and aesthetic critiques of witnessing.
