For class on Monday, you will need to have your proposal for the Internet Gaming project, as well as four new posts to your del.icio.us site, and two thoughtful comments on the blog post that follows. The reading assignment is the same this week as last week: section 8 in the library reserve binder: Actuals: A Look into Performance Theory by Richard Schechner.
Here are some considerations:
•Concerning Schechner's use of the term "actuals:" what are the implications for performance art specifically? What examples can you think of that fit within/outside of his parameters?
•What examples can you cite relevant to artistic practice that bear out his categories of contemporary (or modern) movements: "wholeness," "process and organic growth," "concreteness," and "religious transcendental experience"?
•Concerning ritual, are you aware of rituals that are examinable and explainable following his model? Elaborate.
