Abstract: This article examines the work of Anton Giulio Bragaglia (1890–1960), a theatre and film director, stage manager, militant critic, and theorist of theatre, dance, and cinema. During the 1920s, Bragaglia set out to reform the status of actor-dancers, making this interdisciplinary role central to a wider project of "theatrical theatre" and the re-theatricalization of theatre on both the stage and the written page, ideally in connection with figures such as Vsevolod Mejerchol'd, Georg Fuchs, Edward Gordon Craig, and Adolphe Appia.1To pursue this project, Anton Giulio Bragaglia focused on two distinct but complementary levels, conceived and practiced as an organic whole: set design/scenography and the human body.

Abstract: At a union-owned space on New York's West Forty-Third Street, you will find the only labor union gallery in the nation, the Bread and Roses Gallery.1 With its origins in the 1199 Bread and Roses cultural project, it has been named "the most important cultural expression in the labor movement today."2 District 1199 of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees union initiated this project in 1979, with major external funding, and produced theatre, film, art, and photographic exhibits, primarily focused on working people. Led by entertainer and Civil Rights activist Harry Belafonte, Bread and Roses remains an active part of the 1199's life, featuring visual art, drama, music, and other art forms. The ... Read More

Abstract: Winter 2012. La Jolla, California. I make my way across the University of California at San Diego campus to the La Jolla Playhouse to see our department's production of Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie. Usually, Tennessee Williams is not my preferred fare, but my Black roommate was playing the role of Jim, Laura's gentleman caller. I had yet to see my roommate perform in person, and I was excited to see his work.The production ripped the excitement from my chest and replaced it with a cold discomfort. I don't know if the director engaged in color-blind, colorconscious, or some other form of racially focused casting or not. But I do know that Jim was the only character played by a Black actor. Seeing this ... Read More

Abstract: Solemnity suffused the streets of Harlem on Sunday, November 6, 1927, as thousands of mourners thronged the route of Florence Mills's funeral procession.1 The local chorine-turned-headliner had been diagnosed with pelvic tuberculosis months earlier while touring in England with the revue Blackbirds. Knowing the cast and crew depended on her for employment, the thirty-two-year-old Mills had kept her diagnosis confidential and continued to perform, traveling with the show to Glasgow, Manchester, and Liverpool before returning to the United States in late September.2 Upon her return, Mills attended parties and discussed future projects, including a starring role in Florenz Ziegfeld's Follies and a possible film ...

Abstract: Rebecca Lemon's Addiction and Devotion in Early Modern England offers a masterful study of a crucial area of early modern studies often neglected or misunderstood: the frequent portrayal of and preoccupation with "addictive states" in early modern drama. Lemon begins by directly addressing this critical neglect, which has inaccurately established the contours of most extant scholarship on the topic, and highlights two key concerns. The first is the misapplication of modern pathologized understandings of addiction to the early modern period, which is partly borne out of the misprision that addiction is an exclusively modern concept. The second is the terminological capaciousness of "addiction." Given the ... Read More

Abstract: The works of Samuel Beckett are quite well-studied within the dramatic canon. And yet, it seems that these writings never cease to offer exciting revelations for those who choose to analyze them. The collection Beckett Beyond the Normal, edited by Seán Kennedy, approaches Beckett's work from new angles: queer theory, disability theory, psychoanalysis, and biopolitics. The volume is a fascinating look at aspects of Beckett's written works not fully theorized elsewhere, pushing the discussion of Beckett into heretofore unexplored terrain. Kennedy's claim of Beckett's writing is one of redemption, though he continues, "Beckett did not hope to redeem the world" but rather "he did hope to redeem himself: from his ... Read More

Abstract: At its heart, Andrew Gibb's Californios, Anglos, and the Performance of Oligarchy in the US West is a history book. Gibb's primary achievement in this monograph lies in a convincing argument that the early US West (more specifically, California) is less a product of Anglo individualism than an Anglo continuation of the oligarchic structures and practices that defined the area under Mexican rule. Although Gibb's use of a performance studies framework meets with varying levels of success, he offers glimpses of untold histories that prove valuable for both performance and history scholars alike.Gibb structures his book using a metaphor of theatrical performance; he titles his introduction, for example, "Dramaturgical ...

Abstract: Over the past few decades, there has been an upsurge in Native and Indigenous performance arts to revisit and remember—to tell through retelling—stories of the past and how they have shaped Native and Indigenous identities and knowledges as those stories, identities, and knowledges have struggled to survive continued expropriation, abuse, and erasure. Native dance, specifically, has experienced revitalization through a number of Native artists' endeavors to interweave the traditional with the contemporary.This is a story of a dramatized version of the Cherokee Eagle Dance. Or perhaps what follows are snapshots of a (hi)story of a dramatized version of the Cherokee Eagle Dance as performed in the outdoor historical ... Read More

Abstract: There is a moment in the first half of Sankofa Danzafro's La Ciudad de los Otros where the dance company sits in a straight line across the stage. Purple lighting encircles them as they wait, bodies almost still except for the rhythmic pulsing of their legs: up, down, up, down, up, down. A gesture of impatience, this vibrating stillness is interrupted when the collective bends forward and subsequently crouches behind and beneath the chairs. They begin to rise, speaking; they look up. One dancer remains in that row of chairs. She appears distressed. Their chatter bothers her. She cannot sit still. She covers her ears. She walks across the chairs. She covers their mouths. In desperation, she crouches and places ... Read More

Abstract: The French Revolution brought with it numerous upheavals in the social, political, and judicial systems of late-eighteenth-century France—with each serving as an historical mise-en-scène from which scholars have sought to situate similar upheavals in French theatre and theatricality during the Revolutionary period. But in Dramatic Justice: Trial by Theater in the Age of the French Revolution, Yann Robert inverts such historiographical means of investigation by exploring—through the lenses of theatrical and dramaturgical criticism—arguments on judicial theory, practice, and procedure promoted by notable thinkers of the French Enlightenment and, later, debated among the factions of the National Assembly.

Abstract: When I (Angie) taught a graduate seminar on dance history (called "Dance, Movement, Politics") in Bowling Green State University's theatre PhD program in 2019, students vocalized their reservations. They claimed—emphatically—that they knew nothing at all about dance! They didn't know how to interpret or analyze it; they didn't know anything about its histories or major figures; and most of all, they wanted to know if I was going to make them dance. As the semester unfolded, it became clear that they knew more than they thought they did. After all, the political and aesthetic landscapes they understood from theatre histories often overlapped with those we encountered in dance histories. But their anxieties about ... Read More

Abstract: In her fascinating book, From San Francisco Eastward: Victorian Theater in the American West, Carolyn Grattan Eichin "attempts to help isolate the theater's importance as an agent of cultural change and regional identity" (4) in the post–Gold Rush US American West, roughly defined as the massive expanse of territory between Deadwood, South Dakota, and the West Coast. Observing that "the business of theater worked toward the re-ranking of class and privilege" (4) in the mid- to late nineteenth century, Eichin argues that much of the theatre's singular character in the Victorian West derived from the emergence of Irish immigrants and women as significant economic forces. Focusing much of her research on the 1860s and ... Read More

Abstract: When COVID-19 crept its way across the globe, public community spaces were among the first to shut down. Over a few weeks—or, in some areas, a few days—performance and art venues worldwide became uninhabited spaces, inaccessible to the public. Just as quickly as venues shut down, millions of people became unemployed, with artists across the world losing their main source of income. Through public discourse in outlets from the New York Times to the newly created Flashpaper, theatremakers asked a daunting question: "What do we do now'"Like the Great Plains Theatre Commons and Theatre Rhino, some theatres chose to host play readings online via Zoom. Others, like Playwrights Horizon, published radio plays. Many artists ... Read More

Abstract: Hannah Durkin's Josephine Baker and Katherine Dunham: Dances in Literature and Cinema pairs two of the twentieth century's most famous dancers to address questions of Black women's authorship in a transatlantic context. Scholars have paid much more attention to Baker and Dunham's live stage performances than to their written or cinematic work, and this book aims to fill that gap. Though the two women had distinct career trajectories, Durkin compellingly argues for examining them together, given that "both women adopt self-reflexive narrative voices and explore dance to communicate radical narratives of Black female subjectivity" in a mid-century context (13). Durkin shows how both women intervened in racist ... Read More

Abstract: The passage of laws restricting the rights of trans bodies, Black bodies, refugee and immigrant bodies, women's bodies, and more seems constant. Even more frequent, though, is the exertion of violence against vulnerable bodies and populations, often in ways underwritten by law: police shootings, evictions, mass incarceration, denial of healthcare, and the like. In instances like these (and, in fairness, when legislation protects rights), the law transforms from text to performance, enacting tangible effects.Law and Performance therefore proves valuable in modeling a methodology for conceptualizing law's real-world enactments. Collectively, its six essays examine how the framework of performance studies might enrich ... Read More

Abstract: Le Théâtre du Soleil: The First Fifty-Five Years, by Béatrice Picon-Vallin, is a rich and welcome addition to scholarship on the preeminent French theatre company. Judith Miller's translation of Picon-Vallin's award-winning historical book, published originally in French in 2014, not only makes Picon-Vallin's book accessible in English but also provides an updated chapter on the last five years of production since the book's original publication. It thus provides some of the latest writing and production insight on Théâtre du Soleil's 2016 A Room in India, as well as the controversial 2018 Kanata production, directed by Robert Lepage. This addition is arguably the greatest appeal of the book for those familiar with ... Read More

In the introduction, Barry Houlihan explains that this "volume presents a new study of the status, form and potential of the archive of theatre and performance in terms of learning, accountability and diversity, and also for archive material reconstituted as, and in, new performance work" (9). ...

Abstract: Performing Commedia dell'Arte opens with a quotation from Italian Renaissance historian Massimo Ciavolella: "'We can say that commedia dell'arte has provided the basis for modern theatre in the Western world'" (1). Taking that premise in hand, Schmitt has written a concise volume focusing on techniques of performance from commedia's "golden age" (1570–1630). The unique slant of this book is its attempt to capture the techniques of an evanescent historical performance practice. Lineages of commedia trace back through commedia erudita to ancient Roman and Greek performance. Commedia characters (such as that rascal Pantalone) may have both ancient and contemporary counterparts whose plots, motivations, and statuses ... Read More

Abstract: In the introduction to Provocative Eloquence: Theatre, Violence, and Antislavery Speech in the Antebellum United States, author Laura Mielke asks, "How did types from the stage, in a manner akin to the representative passages in eloquence textbooks and the culture's canon of celebrated speakers, inform the pursuit of promulgating slavery's demise'" (15). As Mielke explores, the answer to this question is not straightforward, as the era's theatrical and oratorical spheres engaged antislavery debate with plays and orations that were incendiary, progressive, placatory, and/or problematic, sometimes all at once. Thus, the goal, Mielke clarifies, is not to deem any theatrical form as pro- or antislavery, but to locate ... Read More

Louise Schaffer's proclamation was a bell toll for the death of many of the programs whose histories McAvoy regales, but it also prompts provocative research questions that the book takes up: Who was labor drama for' Whom did it serve and how' These questions drive Rehearsing Revolutions into a history of pedagogy, dramaturgy, and educators that spans the continent and a tumultuous period between the world wars. Woven within this history of drama programs are the labor colleges themselves: the ... Read More

Acknowledging that her text intervenes into the history of acting by problematizing the history of these exceptional women, Lampert reads against the grain of male historians by offering a thoughtful herstory of what we think we know about these individuals.The book is organized into six chapters that outline, in chronological order, the development of the "starring system" in the United States from 1790 to 1857 and the stories of the women who found fame and fortune, and sometimes desperation and abuse, during its formation.

He also did not throw a bottle to participate in the more than 150 rebellions against racism and police brutality erupting in American cities across the country. Instead, he donned his grandfather's oversized overalls, plopped a broken straw hat on his head, and blacked out several of his teeth with an eyebrow pencil to transform himself into Herkimer, a hillbilly, for his family's variety show three miles outside of Branson, Missouri. The Mabes, who had been running their own variety show out of a municipal building downtown, opened a theatre across the highway one year later, featuring Jim Mabe ... Read More

The panel featured luminary artists, each working tirelessly to transform how theatre engages with community and fights for restorative justice.1 As I planned my questions, I found myself reflecting on the mighty task implied by the conference's theme and plenary's title. My thoughts drifted to several panels I have listened to or participated in over the past few years that similarly were seeking to explore theatre's relationship with "decolonization," always broadly defined.

I was scrolling through Instagram when I saw a video of two of my high school students and I dancing to "Fiesty" by Zachty with the text "get you a teacher like this" plastered across the top. Suddenly, what had begun as a private ritual in which my students and I shared space together, making dancing videos on short-form video apps such as TikTok, soon became something incredibly public-facing. The meme was posted on popular Instagram meme pages and subsequently circulated on thousands of Instagram stories. And, at every turn, Instagrammers tagged me in the post, drawing my eye back to this video of two Black teen twins ... Read More
