Abstract:
This thesis examines how far clowning can be used to augment the aims and effects of a Brechtian theatricality. To do so, it first establishes a series of characteristic processes for the identification and analysis of clowning, based on the author's own clown training with John Wright and Philippe Gaulier. It then explores the nature of Brecht's interest in the clowns Charlie Chaplin and Karl Valentin and their influence on his thinking. Next, it examines how far Brecht's interest in clowns and clowning can be seen inscribed in the texts of his plays and how far that clowning enables the aims

Abstract:
Thesis (MDram (Drama))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.<br>This dissertation investigates the potential for horror in the comic repertoires and performance styles of clowns, in an attempt to address the popular questions of why clowns inspire fear as well as laughter, and what makes them effective monsters in the horror genre. Notwithstanding short articles which offer a general and broad account, the question of why circus clowns are often viewed as frightening figures remains largely unexplored. For this reason I intend to undertake an in-depth exploration of the wide-ranging history of cl

Abstract:
The primary objective of this thesis is to demonstrate that the discursive mode of magic realism can contribute to the political force of postcolonial texts. This is achieved through detailed readings of contemporary works of fiction, written in English, from Australia and Canada. While the term ‘magic realism’ has been in use for more than seventy years, in recent times it has gained increasing currency in the critical discourses of Western literature. Commonly associated with the literature of the Latin American region, with Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novel One Hundred Years of Solitude genera

Abstract:
Este trabalho aborda a discussão sobre a diferenciação entre os termos "clown" e "palhaço". Inicialmente, contextualizamos e destacamos as seguintes desconfianças mútuas: o não reconhecimento sobre as competências e as metodologias de cada um; a negação inicial das referências circenses pelos freqüentadores dos cursos; a idéia de que o "palhaço" teria a sua origem legítima no picadeiro e os "clowns" estariam fazendo uma apropriação indevida desta arte para a dramaturgia teatral. Para superarmos tais visões, buscamos algumas aproximações e confluências importantes entre circo e teatro, que se a

Abstract:
Women who learn to clown within Western contemporary theatre and performance training lack recognizably female exemplars of this popular art form. This practice-as-research thesis analyses my past and present clowning experiences in order to create an understanding of a woman-centered clown practice which allows for the expression of material bodies and lived experiences. It offers a feminist perspective on Jacques Lecoq’s pedagogy, which revolves around a notion of an ‘inner clown’ and is prevalent in contemporary UK clown training and practice.

This research focuses on the art of clowning as a tool and method of psychosocial support in situations of crisis. As this topic is notably under-addressed in scholarly research, this research aims to deepen knowledge on humanitarian clowns in the contemporary humanitarian world. By analyzing the humanitarian clown from the perspective of members of the organization ‘Clowns Without Borders’ (CWB), this research asks: What is the position, practice and function of humanitarian clowns in the humanitarian world?

Abstract:
This paper considers two purposes for actor training—textual interpretation and devising original works—through the teaching of a class based on contemporary theatrical clown and physical theatre exercises which are then applied to Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. Devised work can be used to interpret a script, and a script can be used as a jumping-off point to devise new works. Beginning with an explanation of the teaching methods for the class, the paper then gives a background of clowns who performed in Beckett’s plays, and analyzes various productions' use of games to enliven text.

Abstract:
This master’s thesis discusses the term physical theatre from a discourse point of view. It also focuses on aspects of power from a field theory perspective. The main theory used is Pierre Bourdieu’s field theory, and I try to apply this onto critical discourse analysis, mainly taken from Michel Foucault. The forms of physical theatre I focus on are mainly commedia dell’arte, theatre forms inspiredby Grotowski and Artaud, as well as mime, performance and contemporary circus. These are all theatre forms that focus especially on the body. My aim is to explore the status and discourse of physical

As a freelance artist the author was a part of a school development program in aesthetic learning, and the assignment in the actual school was supposed to teach the pupils about norms and how they effect people on an everyday basis. All the films fulfilled this purpose, but the actual film did something more: it revealed the zerotolerance ru
