Theatre and Philosophical Principles

Theatre practitioners have often underpinned their training and performance practices with principles. Those principles can often be defined and described as being philosophical in nature and focus. Obvious names are Grotowski, Gordon-Craig, Suzuki and Artaud, to name but a few.This group explores theatrical practices based around or culminating in philosophical principles, which often begin not as philosophy, but rather emerge from theatrical practice itself.See More

Jung,Dreams And Performance

WE ALL HAVE THE SAME DREAMCould we all be having the same dream? The famous psychoanalyst Jung answered yes to this question, describing the collective unconscious as human psychic accumulation. In the years just before World War I broke out, portrayals of apocalypse were common in European art and literature. Wasily Kandinsky wrote in 1912 on universal disaster. Between 1912 and 1914, Ludwig Meidner painted a series of paintings known as apocalyptic landscapes with ruined cities, corpses and…See More

And, more recently, China Miéville  draws from Austin in order to make a point that SF is 'something done with language by someone to someone' and then flirts with Stanislavski by…See More
