Hello!
Firstly, I would like to welcome you to whatisourperformance.tumblr.com. The purpose of this blog is to educate those with a passion for the performing arts, and help others to think more about different concepts, styles and theories surrounding theatre and performance.
Throughout this blog and portfolio I will be referencing and studying the work of other theatre practitioners, directors and playwrights, continuously relating them back to my own performance work. A performance scholar and playwright I have chosen to place a particular focus on is Richard Schechner, who strongly believes theatre is vast and encompassing many different art forms. I will also be analysing and evaluating many live performances that I have seen at theatres and festivals.
The play I will be studying as part of this project is ‘The Sound of Heavy Rain’ by the playwright Penelope Skinner. The piece is set in the 21st Century in London and revolves around the search for ‘the real Foxie’, a glamorous cabaret singer. Various themes and ideas manifested in the play include gender identity, insecurity, alcoholism and self-reflection. While in the first instance, I will be focussing on a dramatic, mostly naturalistic performance of this piece, later into the project will allow me to break down the conventions and deliver a more abstract, post-dramatic performance of the play.
This blog will use images, video links, working diary entries, diagrams and performance evaluations to support my written analysis, and help me to come to an overall conclusion of the true meaning of performance in and outside a theatre setting.
There's a little bit of you in each of me.
Name not given, a participant at a workshop led by Richard Schechner; quoted in Schechner, Performance Studies: An Introduction (2002), 63.
The performative occurs in places and situations not traditionally marked as ‘performing arts,’ from dress-up and drag to certain kinds of writing and speaking. Accepting the performative as a category of theory makes it increasingly difficult to sustain a distinction between appearances and reality, facts and make-believe, surfaces and depths. Appearances are actualities – neither more nor less so than what lies behind or beneath appearances. Social reality is constructed through and through.

What's been your most gratifying moment at Columbia?
I think we are a very eclectic crew. So one of the most gratifying moments is just one of those weekends or nights out where you hit a lot of different circles, a lot of different scenes. And so one group might be talking about Judaism, the next group, with a totally different group of people might be talking about Classics, the next group might be talking about biomedical ethics. And it's just, totally, totally different groups, different people, different opinions and I think that keeps you on your toes. I've been fortunate because I've had several of those nights. It's really gratifying that I can hit so many different scenes and have a range of experiences all within one night, from a really quiet, I guess intimate gathering, to the loud party that I don't know anyone at. And I think that we're so lucky that we can have this diversity of choice.
What's something you are looking forward to?
I'm looking forward to the next journey of life. Which sounds so cliché, and I want to take that back. But I'm excited to get to just - I'm very uncertain about what's going to happen next year, and I'm really excited to see what's actually gonna happen.
What do you think the title of your memoir would be?
Mistakes Were Made. It would be like, experiences were had, mistakes were made, but good times. Or something like that.
If you were leaving to start a new civilization, which three books would you take with you?
Which three books? Oh my god I don't read. Oh god. I just read this really good book called The Art of Choosing by Sheena Iyengar, she goes to the business school. Ok. So I'd bring two other children's books. I would bring Harold and the Purple Crayon, because it really inspires me to be creative with whatever I do. And probably the Runaway Bunny, because that was just read to me all the time as a kid, and the idea that I can go anywhere but my family will always try to find me is forever present.

The 7 functions of performance
1. To entertain 2. To make something that is beautiful 3. To mark or change identity 4. To make or foster community 5. To heal 6. To teach, persuade or convince 7.
