Product: Sam Shepard – The Tooth of Crime. Kommentar zum ästhetischen Stilwandel unter Berücksichtigung der Inszenierung von Richard Schechner (German Edition)
Description: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Amerikanistik - Literatur, Note: 1,0, Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Gegen Ende der Sechziger Jahre zeichnet sich ein Wandel in der Ästhetik des Theaters ab: das klassische Sprechdrama verliert an Bedeutung, statt dessen rückt das non-verbale Theater in den Vordergrund, ein ’total theatre’, das den Charakter eines Gesamtkunstwerkes besitzt mit einer Gleichwertigkeit von Sprache, Musik und Tanz, visuellen und auditiven Effekten und einer spezifischen Raumgestaltung. Die konventionelle Dramenstruktur löst sich langsam auf. In diesem Zusammenhang verliert auch der Autor an Bedeutung, denn Texte werden oft nur noch als lose Vorlagen verwendet, mit denen der Regisseur sehr frei umgehen kann.
Zu dieser Zeit entsteht Sam Shepards The Tooth of Crime, eines seiner meistgespielten Stücke, das am 17. Juli 1972 am Londoner Open Space Theatre von Charles Marowitz uraufgeführt wurde. Die amerikanische Erstaufführung fand durch Richard Schechner und seine Performance Group in New York statt, eine Aufführung, die den Widerspruch Shepards hervorrief, worauf in Kapitel 4 dieser Arbeit näher eingegangen wird. Shepard trifft genau den Geschmack der Zeit, da er kein Sprechtheaterstück, sondern ein Zusammenspiel von Text, Musik und tanzartigen Elementen konzipiert, in dem der nicht-kommunikative, klangliche Aspekt von Sprache gleichwertig, wenn nicht wichtiger ist als der rein kommunikative.
Problematisch wird der Zugang zu dem Stück jedoch aufgrund seiner Sprache. Die Auseinandersetzung zwischen den beiden Stars läuft als ein Sprechgesang in unterschiedlichen Dialekten und Jargons ab. Verschiedene Stile werden hier kombiniert, sowohl auf musikalischer als auch sprachlicher Ebene. In der englischen Uraufführung wurde der Text angeglichen, indem man englische Dialekte benutzte; in Deutschland wurde das Stück 1975 für die „Münchner Szene“ in bayrischen Dialekt übertragen.
Die Arbeit gliedert sich in drei Abschnitte: in Kapitel 2 wird die Handlung kurz zusammengefasst und eine Charakterisierung der beiden Hauptcharaktere vorgenommen; in Kapitel 3 werden Sprache und Musik des Stückes untersucht; Kapitel 4 stellt eine Analyse der Schechner-Inszenierung und den daraus resultierenden Konflikt mit Sam Shepard dar.

Product: The Flood Year 1927: A Cultural History
Description: A richly nuanced cultural history of the Great Mississippi flood
The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, which covered nearly thirty thousand square miles across seven states, was the most destructive river flood in U.S. history. Due to the speed of new media and the slow progress of the flood, this was the first environmental disaster to be experienced on a mass scale. As it moved from north to south down an environmentally and technologically altered valley, inundating plantations and displacing more than half a million people, the flood provoked an intense and lasting cultural response. The Flood Year 1927 draws from newspapers, radio broadcasts, political cartoons, vaudeville, blues songs, poetry, and fiction to show how this event took on public meanings.
Americans at first seemed united in what Herbert Hoover called a "great relief machine," but deep rifts soon arose. Southerners, pointing to faulty federal levee design, decried the attack of Yankee water. The condition of African American evacuees in “concentration camps” prompted pundits like W.E.B. Du Bois and Ida B. Wells to warn of the return of slavery to Dixie. And environmentalists like Gifford Pinchot called the flood “the most colossal blunder in civilized history.” Susan Scott Parrish examines how these and other key figures—from entertainers Will Rogers, Miller & Lyles, and Bessie Smith to authors Sterling Brown, William Faulkner, and Richard Wright—shaped public awareness and collective memory of the event.
The crises of this period that usually dominate historical accounts are war and financial collapse, but The Flood Year 1927 enables us to assess how mediated environmental disasters became central to modern consciousness.

Product: Seelen mit Methode: Schauspieltheorien vom Barock bis zum postdramatischen Theater (German Edition)
Description: Ist Schauspielen eigentlich eine Kunst?
Schauspieler(innen) sind die Fixpunkte der Aufmerksamkeit im Theater. Seit dreihundert Jahren nehmen Theoretiker die Herausforderung an, schauspielerisches Handeln zu definieren. In Schauspieltheorien wird danach gefragt, ob der Schauspieler sich selbst oder jemand anderes spielt, ob seine Gefühle echt oder nur vorgetäuscht sind, ob er seinen Körper kontrolliertund kühl einsetzt oder unbewußt und unter Feuer spielt. Über welche geistigen und körperlichen Voraussetzungen müssen Schauspieler verfügen, und wie kann man diese schulen? Die Lektüre von Schauspieltheorien verspricht Aufschlüsse darüber, welches Menschenbild zu einer bestimmten Zeit in Szene gesetzt wurde, welches Körperverständnis vorherrschte und wie diese Menschenbilder im Theater wiederholt, bestätigt, in Frage gestellt und erweitert wurden.
Der Band versammelt zentrale schauspieltheoretische Texte vom 18. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart. Die Theorien von Franziscus Lang, Pierre Rémond de Sainte Albine, Francesco Riccoboni, G. E. Lessing, Denis Diderot, Johann Jakob Engel, J. W. Goethe, HeinrichTheodor Rötscher, William Archer, Max Martersteig, Georg Simmel, Konstantin S. Stanislawski, Bertolt Brecht, Helmuth Plessner, Richard Schechner u. a. werden in den historischen Kontext gestellt und erläutert. Eine systematische Einführung schafft den Überblick zu zentralen Kategorien der Schauspielkunst wie Nachahmung, Verkörperung, Natürlichkeit oder Emotionalität auf der Bühne.

Product: Performed Imaginaries
Description: In this collection of essays, performance studies scholar and artist Richard Schechner brings his unique perspective to bear upon some of the key themes of society in the 21st century.

Schechner connects the avantgarde and terror, the counter-cultural movement of the 1960s/70s and the Occupy movement; self-wounding art, popular culture, and ritual; the Ramlila cycle play of India and the way imagination structures reality; the corporate world and conservative artists. Schechner asks artists to redeploy Nehru's Third World as a movement not of nations but of like-minded culture workers who must propose counter-performances to war, violence, and the globalized corporate empire.

With characteristic brio, Schechner urges us to play for keeps. "Playing deeply is a way of finding and embodying new knowledge", he writes.

Performed Imaginaries ranges through some of the key moves within Schechner’s oeuvre, and challenges today’s experimental artists, activists, and scholars to generate a new, third world of performance.

Product: Gender and Sexuality: A Batch from TDR (MIT Press Batches)
Description: “An event can be a performance in one circumstance and not be a performance in another; in both cases the event can be studied as performance,” writes Richard Schechner in his introduction to Gender and Sexuality: A Batch from TDR/The Drama Review. Bringing together articles spanning 30 years of TDR, this Batch focuses on performance through the lenses of gender, sexuality, and culture. Examined together, the articles reveal how feminist and gender studies theorists and sympathizers have shifted their subject matter, approach, and focus over time. The authors explore such topics as the history of cross-dressing in Chinese theatre, hijraism and Pakistani politics, and gender and racial triangulation in Japanese-American internment camps. Dig in.

Product: Between Theater and Anthropology
Description: In performances by Euro-Americans, Afro-Americans, Native Americans, and Asians, Richard Schechner has examined carefully the details of performative behavior and has developed models of the performance process useful not only to persons in the arts but to anthropologists, play theorists, and others fascinated (but perhaps terrified) by the multichannel realities of the postmodern world.
Schechner argues that in failing to see the structure of the whole theatrical process, anthropologists in particular have neglected close analogies between performance behavior and ritual. The way performances are created—in training, workshops, and rehearsals—is the key paradigm for social process.

Product: Performance Theory (Routledge Classics)
Description: Few have had quite as much impact in both the academy and in the world of theatre production as Richard Schechner. For more than four decades his work has challenged conventional definitions of theatre, ritual and performance. When this seminal collection first appeared, Schechner's approach was not only novel, it was revolutionary: drama is not just something that occurs on stage, but something that happens in everyday life, full of meaning, and on many different levels. Within these pages he examines the connections between Western and non-Western cultures, theatre and dance, anthropology, ritual, performance in everyday life, rites of passage, play, psychotherapy and shamanism.
