Jourdain, Christiane Garrec. "Théâtre des gestes : création, transmission à partir d'une langue gestuelle." Strasbourg, 2010. https://publication-theses.unistra.fr/restreint/theses_doctorat/2010/JOURDAIN-GARREC_Christiane_2010.pdf.
Full textMy research questions the imagination of the body through a model of transmission and production. This means understanding, with a system of communication that does not use the spoken word, how a deaf actor can integrate his own method of teaching to a didactic model. It is a question of research on a particular esthetical form concerning the silent body. To accept the lack of words in these conditions is not trying to reproduce words by gests neither is it trying to imitate the action of individuals we have taken as models. I reveal a theory in a teaching system which creates a theatre of gests, a process founded on visibility. If one considers that the use of different languages could open new perspectives, one could envisage that the initial language (sign language) could be thought of as an emerging artistic form. A movement that reinvents itself in a context open to other languages where each person’s particularity is concerned: a movement which introduces contemporary creation. It is a question of displacing the frontiers or the intermingling of languages which brings us to different ways of thinking. The rule of art is not to enclose each human being in his domain, but to open up unknown territories. This study underlines the importance of the multi-field research of the subject observed which conditions the exploitation and the experimentation of its transformation in contemporary art. An original esthetical approach invites us to put into question continually existing artistic languages

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to gain an in depth undertanding of an unexplored area : the diversity of the sign language in Kerala’s theater : the Kutiyattam (Sanskrit theater), whose roots are traced to the earliest days of our era, and the Kathakali (dance-drama), whose origin lie in it. This work combines my experience as a dancer and a researcher, personal notes, sketches and analysis of performances. My knowledge of Sanskrit and Malayalam allowed me to conduct interviews with performers and local scholars, and gave me access to the source texts to conduct a through analysis of the gesture language according to various criteria (theatrical, linguistic and aesthetic). I linked the ritual and performance gestures and contributed to global reflexion on the topic of ritual drama. I also introduce some of the fundemantal Malayalam texts related to hand gestures. The subject of theatricality is developped by drawign up various categories from several points of view, taking account such as technical, stylistic and other suggestive elements. Particular attention was paid to grammatical and symbolic aspects, and to their integration to gestures and performance. This project is the third part of my research undertaken since 1985, wich already resulted in two achievements : - In November 2000 I obtained a Master’s Degree in Indian Studies with the translation and commentary of the Hastalakshanadîpikâ, a Sanskrit treatise on hand gestures (mudrâ) used in both ancient theater forms of Kerala, Kâtiyâttam and Kathakali. - In my M. Phil Diploma I give a detailed analysis on hand gestures, based on an ancient text called Râmâyanasamkshêpam « Rama’s story in Résumé »

Full textThis participatory study on teaching languages in primary school aims to develop and test an experiential approach to English teaching and learning for beginners, based on the principle of gestural narration.This interdisciplinary research focuses on the concept of gesture as described by the linguistic anthropologist Marcel Jousse, put into practice by the theatre instructor Jacques Lecoq, embodied by Mark Johnson’s theory of image schemata in cognitive linguistics and confirmed by recent discoveries in neuroscience.In this teaching approach, gesture is the instrument, while traditional fairy tales provide the subject matter. Fairy tales were chosen because their narrative structure shares some of the characteristics of human motor behaviour (Jousse’s bilateralism) and because they are adapted to the mythic understanding of the world by children aged 6-8 (Egan, educational psychology).This approach was tested in a CE1 class (second year of primary school) during an entire school year. An analysis of student work and interviews assesses the impact of this experimental teaching approach on phonological and lexical language quality, on memorizing strategies, on pupils’ linguistic and gestural creativity/initiative, and evaluates the role of emotion and interaction in their learning
Lee, Yong-Seog. "Recherches sur le langage des gestes dans le théâtre de l'absurde : Samuel Beckett et Boris Vian." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA040181.
Full textThe objective of this thesis is to reveal and analyze body language in Samuel Beckett and Boris Vian's absurd theater. The insurrection of body and motion language is one of the essential elements in their theater work. The abundance and precision of the body language in the Beckett and Vian characters, their functioning, esthetic and meaning constitute an object of study of considerable importance. Repetitive, fragmentary, serial, absurd, burlesque, derisive, tragic, comic, all their adjectives that describe the nature of Beckett and Vian's body language are the source from which the dramatic elaboration derives. The body language of Beckett and Vian, as an instrument of scenic creation, as a paradoxical unity and as a tragic and comic structure, is a source of esthetic and philosophical meaning
Dali, Jihane. "Le silence dans le théâtre de Samuel Beckett." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017AIXM0404.
Full textThe place of silence is fundamental in the theater of Samuel Beckett. Touched by the horrors of Auschwitz, the playwright continues to present characters on the threshold of death and they have the feeling that communication is difficult, sometimes vain, and yet they must keep talking. Despite its invisibility, its fluctuating and fleeing character, the silence remains meaningful, opening a virgin space which then fills with meaning. Protean, the silence is ambivalent. The use of verbal language bankruptcy to other languages. The presence of scenic objects, the show of gestures and dance, the play of shadow and light have the role to compensate for the lack of action and the disarticulation of the word. Shut up at Beckett becomes a purely visual stage play. The playwright exceeds all limits for staging a silence as both the material and the object of the theatrical game

Full textPerforming arts are an integral part of Malayalee culture and malayalee identity. Nearly all of the existing study is focused on classical and folk forms, such as Kathakali and Theyyam, however there is a serious gap in our understanding of contemporary theater in Kerala. Contemporary theater can be thought as a kind of "hybrid cultural product", existing between traditional and modern forms; it refers both to the Natyashastra, as well as the modern contributions of figures such as Grotowski and Stanislavski. This research aims to trace new theatrical practices and scenographic techniques that have developed from the interplay of local "native" theater and contemporary performance aesthetics. To get an overview of contemporary malayalee productions, the fieldwork examined several theatre groups, by way of participatory observation, including: Lokadharmi in Cochin, Sopanam and Abhinaya in Trivandrum, and the Thrissur School of Drama. The differences in the motivations of these groups (regarding issues such as caste, class and gender) illustrate new paradigms that are at the core of local discourse on culture. Is there an invention of tradition? In this vein, we examine the dynamism of local cultural production and consumption. Since the way one moves can inscribe one's identity, we have to examine the elaboration of a body language. The body will be questioned, first, as the simple body of the performer. The extensive video and photographic work, while serving to document the production of the theatre groups, also became the source of some participatory experimentation. For example, the video projects allowed the performers to experiment with their own image and, in turn, integrate these creations into the scenographic design. The reflexive use of image taking made for a unique exchange of ideas between observer and performer
García, Martínez Manuel. "Réflexions sur la perception du rythme au théâtre." Paris 8, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA081036.
Full textThe specificity of the rhythm of a theatrical production and his perception are extremely complex. Among the more important aspects are groups and the inclusion of these groups within larger groups of theatrical elements which create a rhythmic hierarchy. The initial expectations that arise for every spectator at the begining of a production, which i call rhythmical frames are essential to understand the rhythm. These aspects are first applied to the actor's voice, - this thesis focus specially on the prosodic rhythm using a phonetic analysis of pitch and speed- , secondly to the movement realized by the actors, and finally to the whole of the prodution. This analysis reveals specific characteristics of theatrical developement
Marchal-Louët, Isabelle. "Le geste dramatique dans le théâtre d'Euripide : étude stylistique et dramaturgique." Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011MON30045/document.
Full textThis study focuses on gestures as indicated by the words in Euripides' tragedies. Words are not only here a means to reconstruct the actor's gesture on stage, but are analysed in order to enlighten the specificity of the poet's dramatic art. The first chapter presents a stylistic study of the gesture formulas, grouped according to « gestural patterns », and reveals theimportance of the pathetic gestures of filiav in Euripides' theatre. In the second chapter, the comparison of gestures in parallel scenes by the three Tragic dramatists sheds light on the differences between them in the relationship between dramatic text and stage action and on the novelty of Euripidean gestural expression and pathos. This comparison is linked to the evolution of tragic performance in the fifth century, to the evolution of artistic tendencies and to the poet's own sensibility. The third chapter is an analysis of Euripides' theatrical experiments involving dramatic gestures, especially in his late plays, and leads to a new definition of the tragic nature of Euripidean theater
Billon, Ronan. "Modèle d’interaction gestuelle entre humain et acteur de synthèse dans un contexte de théâtre virtuel." Brest, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010BRES2026.
Full textThis work takes place in the general framework of communication and interaction in virtual reality environment. We are particularly interested in the nonverbal communication between humans and autonomous virtual actor. We position our work in the field of gesture interaction that is as natural as possible. Then, our problematic is to perceive and recognize a gesture or a sequence of gestures in realtime. In this context, we search to implement an effective model of gesture recognition. There are currently difficulties on the analysis of dynamic gestures. All studies from the state of the art described in this thesis refer all on the transcription of gestures into symbols. An effective recognition system should respond to: quick and easy learning stage; real-time recognition; automatic segmentation of the flow of movements; scalability of the database. To our knowledge, no system meet all these characteristics simultaneously. Our proposal is to base our model on gesture signature. This summerize the essence of the gesture. We show that using a compression technique based on PCA and a proper geometric adjustement we can compute a representation containing the information needed to characterize the gesture and faciitate the comparison with the observation of real-time flow. We introduce a new technique for segmenting the real-time flow based on the combination of the signature and an agent model. We applied our work, with success, on laboratory conditions evaluations and then in front of an audience in a play based on a Capoeira script in a theater

Full textLe sujet de la thèse intéresse en particulier les chercheurs travaillant dans les domaines du théâtre comme celui de la création théâtrale et de la réception, puisqu'il pose la question de la parole au théâtre. Ce genre de travail se situe à la frontière du théorique et de la pratique.
La thèse pose des questions sérieuses auxquelles elle essaye de répondre, le rapport entre la parole au théâtre et celle dans la réalité. Puis le rapport de l'œuvre avec le réel, la société contemporaine. Nous justifions notre choix de l'œuvre de Philippe Minyana en raison de sa vivacité, sa particularité dramatique dans le théâtre français contemporain, cette particularité réside dans la diversité des procédés de l'écriture utilisée dans les formes dramatiques de l'auteur.
Notre recherche se situe dans le creuset de la création dramatique de l'auteur étudié. Ce qui gît dans ce creuset, c'est la parole représentée, une écriture sans cesse réinventée, reconstruite à travers ses croisements avec la parole quotidienne. Dans le panorama des pièces de Minyana, nous proposons de suivre les battements de la parole en montrant l'évolution dramaturgique mise en œuvre par l'auteur dans les formes monologuées, la forme épique, la forme fragmentée des drames brefs, la rapports humains dans des lieux clos ou l'économie de la parole dans les dernières pièces.
Le travail se base sur une de étude des textes dramatiques et des axes dramaturgiques de l'œuvre de Minyana pour voir quelles sont les techniques d'écriture que Minyana utilisées dans son œuvre, et de là comment la parole prend une nature différente suivant les multiples formes d'écriture de l'auteur. Nous essayons de montrer comment la parole est structurée dans l'ensemble de l'œuvre de Minyana, de prouver qu'elle y est prioritaire par rapport aux autres composantes dramatiques. En analysant les étapes de cette écriture, nous suivons le mouvement intérieur de cette dramaturgie à travers l'étude de la «profération » de la parole sur scène.
Il s'agit dans thèse d'une étude détaillée de la langue dramatique dans les pièces choisies, (la répétition, le passage du coq à l'âne, l'oralité, la parole dans le récit dans son rapport au passé du personnage, les façons de parler des figures, l'étude la parole stylisée, les niveaux de la parole des figures et le passage d'un niveau à l'autre et la répétition des gestes qui entraîne une répétition de parole etc.) en vue de déterminer des formes dramaturgiques spécifiques.

Full textThe Théâtre royal Italien (1815-1848) is an institution specialized in the production of Italian operas, sung in the original language by singers who often come from Italy. Having no director, the singers seem to act as they want. However, their freedom of acting has to be conceived within the limits of the contemporary figurative codes, of the demands of the administration and of the expectations of the audience. In order to understand the scenic practices and the way spectators see them at the Théâtre royal Italien, we have to compare numerous and different sources : archives, iconography, librettos, personal literature and critics’ writings. We thus investigate the cultural and aesthetic circulations of gestures which are not realistic but expressive. We explore the functioning of an institution behind the scenes and discover its imperatives. We identify its audience’s criteria in spectators’ accounts. Because the way of acting, the way of seeing and the way of saying are indissolubly linked, it is by necessity that we have to analyse altogether the processes of reception and creation, the looks of the spectators of the Théâtre royal Italien and the scenic practices of its singers

Full textThis research targets to bring new lights on the aesthetic of the theatre of Marivaux by focusing on the conceptof action. Also, through the plays of Marivaux, it looks concretely for a new thinking about this polyvalent andcomplex notion. It constitutes an ‘Anatomy of action’. It takes place in the global reflection on this term, whichgoes back to Aristotle and in which philosophers and creators/theoreticians confronted their conceptions on thedefinition, its essence and the new aesthetic inflexions which could be reached then.The analysis is mostly based on three plays, both ‘experiments’ and patterns which reveal in an emblematicway the diversity of this theatre and open on the other dramatic creations of Marivaux. A fairy Italian pattern,Arlequin polished by love (1720) leads to the exploration of the basics : the inconstancy as action, the actionresulting from a highly hybrid mixed genres theatre and the crisis of the protagonist and its consequences onthe centre of action. A tragic fruitful anti-pattern, Annibal (1719) gives a deep structure for three masterpieces,comedies with “tragic basement” (The False Servant, The Travestied Prince, The Triumph of Love) by usingthe traditional tools of the tragedy (knot of glory, sublime, recognition, choice of the protagonist). And autopian pattern, The Island of slaves (1725) creation of thought leads to the concept of action and gives key forunderstanding how Marivaux builds up this action by mixing and balancing it with cheerful and eventfulaspects

Full text-The writing of the body on stage is defined as the at by which the dancer or the actor makes shapes, states or characters visible thanks to his movement. - The thesis consists of four parts - The first one etudies the relevance of the notion of writing applied to the work of the body on stage. It considers the different senses of the word writing which is distinguished from the word reading. -Writing is above all the act of tracing. In accordance with the poietic approach which focuse on the dynamic mechanisms of the creation and studies the connection between artist and the materiel, this study ponders over the authors of the writing of the body and over the nature of the materials they use: body, gesture or movement. - The second part is devoted to the study of the movement, resting on the systems of notations and on the research of five great theoricians: Feuillet, Engel, Delsarte, Dalcroze et Laban ; it analyzesthe different definitions given to the theatrical act from the 170 to the 200 century. This study gives prominence to the existence of a science of movement with its object, its methods and its applications. -The third part describes - from data taken up previously - the different constituent elements of the movement and their expressive intrinsic qualities. It shows how the material movement freed from mimetism, becomes involved in abstract art. - the fourth part deals with the influence exerted by the definition of the movement over the status of the body on stage and describes its main periods from 1700 to 1960. - The conclusion of this research is dual and focuses on the writing of the body as an art and as a science : the writing of the body is an art which conditions the practice of all the other theatrical arts or dynamic arts. It is to the writing of the movement what literature is to the writing of words ; similarly, it is a scene of culture and knowledge which calls for being studied

Full textOver the course of the 20th century, gesture gradually became a parameter of musical composition in the repertoires of the Western classical tradition. The avant-garde (Dada, futurism, Bauhaus, expressionism, etc.) is at the origin of performance concept while noise music broadens the field of aesthetically audible sounds. Rejecting the romantic opera and all its attributes (lyrical singing technique, supremacy of the dramatic text over music, orchestra pit, the illusion of the reality, orchestral opulence, intermissions, etc.), composers feel the need to express themselves differently, while the capacity for renewal of the tonal system wanes. They define new scenic musical forms in a framework dictated by performance and in accordance with a new awareness of listening resulting from numerous experiments carried out in the musical studios. After World War II, with the advent of concrete music, the voice became not only the vector of speech but also a generator of sound, the scenic space was rid of the performer and, in return, some composers (Mauricio Kagel, Dieter Schnebel, Luciano Berio, John Cage, to name but a few) offered hybrid pieces where music is combined with the diction of a narrator, pantomime or theatrical action, without one component constantly getting the upper hand. According to an empirical approach to the body mediated through video recording (based on a corpus stretching from 1960 to 2016), it is possible to highlight counterpoints of information from several elements of the recorded performances (music, gestures, movements, light, etc.), which ultimately construct a meaningful reality for the listener-spectator. By directly analysing the performative works, it appears that the gesture is indeed a structural element of a spectacular nature that participates in the creation of discursive forms and, consequently constituting an indispensable element of reception. By focusing on the parameterisation of the gesture, this work provides a first element of answer to the following question: how does musical performance, in its living aspect, integrate the gesture and how does it influence the form? In this way, it hopes to pave the way for a musicology of contemporary music theatre
Johansson, Franz. "Le corps dans le théâtre de Paul Valéry." Paris 4, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA040059.
Full textAmong all the literary genres, theatre deals with the human body in a unique way: not only is the body figured in a play but it also becomes a substance, an instrument, a presence on the stage. A playwright will always, in some way or another, be confronted with the body in the meaning of its biological constitution, its shape and movement, its resources and limitations and, ultimately, its essence. Theatre is therefore one of the most interesting fields for studying Valéry’s approach to the human body : in no other part of his work does the writer embrace the body in such an immediate, complex, profound - and nonetheless problematic and ambiguous -way. Valéry is an immense artist of the body. The first part of this work explores how Valéry contemplates the experience of theatrical embodiment: do his dramatic works and projects need and call on the actor’s active matter ? Or do they, at least, tolerate it ? The second part analyses the different ways in which Valéry’s aesthetic principles incorporate the presence and movement of the body in dramatic writing: how are the expressive means of the actor seized and transformed by artistic conventions, processes or techniques ? The last part aims to specify the conceptions of the body that emerge from Valéry’s plays and drafts: what does this theatre, as a language of the body, tell us about the human body ?
Rahbari, Morvarid. "Le féminin dans l’œuvre dramatique de Samuel Beckett." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCA148/document.
Full textIn Samuel Beckett’s works the female characters are seen to be absent at the beginning, but throughout the story their presence becomes more significant, and represents the different images of the female characters.The female characters in his work expand and grow constantly.To understand the female characters, we need to analyze the languages that have been used by each character. The languages provide a different image which highlights the identity of each character. They also cover many areas such as body, gestural, scenic, and pictorial. This research paper helps us to better understand how Samuel Beckett deals with feminine in his works, and highlights the major features of the female characters
Cousin, Marion. "L'Auteur en scène. Analyse d'un geste théâtral et dramaturgie du texte né de la scène." Thesis, Paris 3, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA030158.
Full textThis doctoral thesis in theatrical studies presents the practice of artists that we choose to call on-stage authors, and offers tools for the dramaturgical analysis of the texts it produces. Appeared at the turn of the 21st century, and freed from the debate on the primacy of text or of stage, the on-stage authors mingle the roles of author and stage director together into a single activity. They compose in a sole movement the text and the performance, thus invalidating the idea of theatre as a two-step art form. However, those artists do not deny the double artistic realization of theatre, as book or as performance. As they publish their texts, they give them the possibility to live beyond the performance and let other artists appropriate them. Revealing signs of the original creative process remaining on those texts, and questioning the conditions of their direction by others, this study defines the action of the on-stage authors, and emphasizes the dramaturgic properties of the texts produced by their practice. It reveals the way redefining the relationship between the text and the stage produces new textual forms dramaturgically based – regarding space, time, fiction, enunciation and the character – on the performance. The main corpus of this study is made of works of Rodrigo García, Jan Lauwers, Angélica Liddell, and Joël Pommerat

Full textSince the early 2000s, the concept of presence is at the core of a renewed interest in theperforming arts field. This dissertation reviews recent theoretical debates and explorestheatrical and choreographic works resonating with the corporeal and aesthetic qualitiesassociated with this notion. Within a phenomenological framework, current definitions arereconsidered through the lenses of dance gesture analysis, expanding on theepistemology of somatic practices, the ecology of practices (Stengers 2005), and politicalfocus on affects (Massumi 1995; 2015). The academic discourses are also examinedthrough a brief outlook of the works, including Il Principe Amleto – a piece by Italian actorand stage director Danio Manfredini. The pieces considered in the second part of thedissertation include Ouverture Alcina, a monologue by the Italian theatre company Teatrodelle Albe; recent projects by Italian choreographer Virgilio Sieni; a dance performanceentitled Déperdition, by French artist Myriam Gourfink; and a recent rerun of Xavier LeRoy’s Self Unfinished within his project « Rétrospective ». Each analysis emphasizes thephysical and perceptive work of the performers and considers the artist’s creative process,as well as the relation between the pieces and their broader staging context. In addition,the personal experience of the scholar/spectator is given prominence, as well as of hergaze. The resulting investigation is thus fundamentally epistemological, focusing at onceon practices of presence – understood as performative in nature –, and on figurations ofpresence, the perceptive and affective implications of performance

Full textThe question of the connection between seeing and hearing has been an important one in Greek intellectual debate during the fifth century before our era, in severa1 fields as different as philosophy, historiography, rhetoric and medicine. In such a context, the experience of drama represents a very interesting case. Attic tragedy consisted indeed in a sung spectacle, in which music and dance played un important role, and that appealed at the same time to seeing and hearing of the audience. This study aims to analyse the dialectical connection between seeing and hearing and the way it becomes a dramatic instrument in the hands of the poet. The analysis is about five tragedies of Euripides: Alcestis, Hippolytus, Heracles, Helen and Bacchae. While it links, case by case, dramatic details to contemporary debate about epistemological value of seeing and hearing as ways of acquiring knowledge, this study focuses on the way visual and auditory perceptions determine varying degrees of knowledge and of awareness of events in the characters on the stage. It focuses also on the way the dramatist uses this double sensorial appeal and this coexistence of visual and acoustic effects in the construction of his dramas, through e1ements of surprise, resumption, reversal or shifting in order to portray his characters or to direct the emotional response of the audience

Full textOur study utilizes an interdisciplinary approach emerging from both the living art of theater - with its implicit notion of theatricality - and Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of the body. This double approach allows for a phenomenological reading of the theatrical gesture found throughout the Johannine narrative. We can then proceed from there in our foundation of a poetical theology of the gesture. We begin by recognizing the Johannine narrative’s primary authority: there we discern the emergence of the logos of the relationship between the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in connection with the disciples. This particular discernment takes place against the broader horizon of a poetics of the gesture. We then resituate the ‘poetic’ in its etymological sense as ‘the act of doing or making (poiein)’. This originating context highlights the ‘poetical’ as an expressive action of the body that is in process toward completion. This reading of the poetic as an action in the process of making [or doing] then allows us to recognize a logos underlying the bodily gesture that reveals itself and makes itself known in its nascent state. Such a poetics concerns the very theatricality of the body itself. Indeed, we do not limit ourselves to exploring the phenomenon of bodily theatricality underlying the Johannine narrative (i.e., an analysis of theatricality). Rather, we seek to uncover a poetical thought of the body manifesting itself in its nascent state – in statu nascendi – by means of Johannine theatricality
Dechaufour, Pénélope. "Une esthétique du drame figuratif. Le geste théâtral de Kossi Efoui : d’une dramaturgie du détour marionnettique aux territoires politiques de la figuration sur « les lieux de la scène »." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCA116/document.
Full textAt the crossroads of philosophical, political and anthropological issues, this dissertation in theatre studies aims to theorize the notion of "figurative drama" through analyzing Kossi Efoui's aesthetics in his dramatic work. A playwright, philosopher and novelist, born in 1962 in Togo, Kossi Efoui’s political and poetical choices foreshadowed, from his first play Le Carrefour, the major aesthetical turn taken by the dramaturgies of French-speaking sub-Saharan Africa and diasporas at the beginning of 1990s. Shaped by colonial history and the history of migrations, Kossi Efoui’s theater put the diasporic body in question, as well as the identities that were assigned by historical discourses and by the rise of capitalism since the time of the slave trade. This aesthetics is the result of a theatrical attitude based on a figurative writing. By questioning this paradoxical attitude, this dissertation shows how it is translated into dramaturgical choices. Indeed, in Kossi Efoui’s theater, on one side the body is everywhere in discourses, while on the other side it’s missing on stage: the characters are most often deprived of a body and looking for one. Shaped by various ways of producing text (intertextuality, transtextuality, fragmentation, decomposition, assembly, gesture of the stage) the dramaturgical writing makes a detour via the universe of the mask and the puppetry arts, thereby exploring the actor’s body and the theatrical devices in order to create a process of resilience. By analyzing this dramaturgical detour via puppetry, this dissertation questions the presence of bodies and voices in the textual material itself and their relationships to the stage. It formulates the hypothesis of an attitude, producing a figure that comes from the writing and takes its place on stage (on les lieux de la scène, as Kossi Efoui calls it). The body becomes a political territory and summons up haunting traumas that put the collectivity to the test. By using the theatrical space as a mnemonic interface, the writing takes trans-disciplinary creative paths, renews our conception of dramaturgy and produces what we identify as "an aesthetics of figurative drama"

Full textThrough an analysis of works by Tadeusz Kantor, Pina Bausch, Jan Lauwers, Pippo Delbono and Emma Dante, this thesis attempts to open up the traditional analytical tools that tend to be privileged by the discipline of theatre studies to concepts stemming from psychoanalysis or visual arts, which are more appropriate for rendering the intense emotional experience that these works induce. The notion of symptom, theorised by Freud and reappropriated by art history thanks to the work of Georges Didi-Huberman, can allow us to see the stage as more than a “system of signs”, “to be read”, under the influence of semiology and structuralism, but also to go beyond the image, towards something that is not immediately evident. Having shown the limitations of dramaturgical tools, it is possible to highlight the specific moments when a symptomatic gesture irrupts within these works by relying on a more phenomenological analysis. Dream patterns, which have the similar quality of being models of an order-disorder, are essential to our understanding of the organization of stage elements and processes. Whatever moves the spectator, is no longer strictly conditioned by representation, which is itself disrupted by the symptom, but is situated beyond it, under it, between the different scenic elements. The audience’s perception of reality becomes more reliant on imaginable rather than on some form of mimesis: images open up the gaze and alter the spectator’s stance, touching him physically and emotionally. The diffracted theatrical subject contained in the actor’s body helps the public witness Otherness onstage. The works studied here involve an experience of subjectivation and symbolisation, which activates the constitutive elements of the individual’s psyche, in crisis in contemporary society. Within the very physical relationship that is built between stage and audience, the spectator experiences his own position as a subject facing others, himself and the world

Full textTheatrical play is present in everyday life and the actor recreates it on stage. The roles played depend on the social structure, the actor and his or her individuality. They evolve according to interior and exterior human factors. Some actors take on a role more easily than others, then let it go in order to play a new one with surprising ease. They move through society, melding gestures and speech patterns of each social class, dropping one costume for another. They are involved in a new part of the social game, while others only perfect one. The latter’s scope is more limited. The theatre is the arena that creates professional role players. Therefore, the examination of the scope of the actor requires a context and asks about what is innate and what is acquired. Does the human play impulsively or learn to play and if so, what are the steps in this training? First, the context and framework concerning the theatre, the society where it develops and the body type of actors is posited. Following a theoretical and empirical approach, the body is analysed and the anthropological, anatomical, and scenic dimensions are explored. Next, the body in movement is investigated according to a deconstruction-reconstruction process alternating between the stage and everyday life, leading to a theatrical anthropology and an anthropological theatre. Finally, in the last part of the research the actor is reintegrated into the heart of society, to which he belongs, that he creates and by which he is influenced
Das Spiel existiert in der sozialen Komödie und der Schauspieler bringt es auf die Bühne. Die Rollen hängen von der sozialen Struktur ab, von dem Platz des Schauspielers in der Gesellschaft und seiner Individualität. Sie entwickeln sich nach den äußeren und inneren Faktoren des Menschen. Einige Schauspieler eignen sich ihre Rollen leichter an als andere,befreien sich von einer Rolle um eine neue mit einer überraschenden Leichtigkeit zu spielen. Sie tauchen in die Tiefe der Gesellschaft ein, und übernehmen Gestik und Rede jeder Schicht, lassen ein Kostüm zurück um sich mit einem anderen zu kleiden. Sie engagieren sich in einer neuen Partie des Gesellschaftsspiels, während andere nur eine beherrschen. Deren Handlungsspielraum ist eingeschränkter. Das Theater ist der Bereich, der dieses Spielzum Beruf macht. Folglich erfordert die Frage nach dem Handlungsspielraum des Schauspielers eine Kontextbildung und wirft die Frage nach Angeborenem und Erworbenen auf. Spielt der Mensch aus eigenem Anlass oder lernt er zu spielen und welche Etappenmarkieren diese Ausbildung? Zuerst setzen wir die Rahmenbedingungen dieser theaterbezogenen Recherche fest: Umwelches Theater handelt es sich? In welcher Gesellschaft entwickelt es sich? Und welche/was für Körper wurden inszeniert? Dieser Körper wird sodann durch eine theoretische undempirische Forschung desartikuliert und in seinen anthropologischen,anatonomophysiologischen und szenischen Dimensionen erforscht. Durch einen Prozess der Dekonstruktion-Konstruktion vom alltäglichen Leben zur Bühne und vice versa wird der Körper erkundet. Daraus entsteht eine Theater Anthropologie und ein anthropologisches Theater. Zuletzt wird der Schauspieler in den sozialen Körper - dessen Mitglied er ist, den er kreiert und der ihn neuerschöpft - wieder integriert

Full textIn a context of globalization, of culturalist relativism and of rationality crisis, the study of some Japanese bodily practices and gestural arts (dance, theatre, martial arts) shows that a certain form of universality relies on the body and on an immanent embodied thought which create a sphere of publicity and intelligibility within intuition, movement, sensation, belief. This embodied thought is essential to philosophy and to the renewal and the refinement of its forms. Just as art creates immanently the conditions of its own reception and has the power to alter tastes and values, so do Japanese bodily practices and gestural arts institute a philosophical and aesthetic climate of their own, and work as a laboratory where the philosophical possibilities of the community are tried, tested and modified. By focusing on a series of examples and significant “cases”, which allow to draw some conclusions on the general functioning of human mental and physical abilities, this research brings to light an embodied and immanent philosophy, and its embodied thought

Full textIf the theatre is a place where a language in which the poet naturally belongs is created, we cannot avoid noting that the dramatist of the 2000's, paradoxically, is finding it hard to locate his place in the theatre and in the society of his time. Faced with institutional lukewarm support, with a distrusting public and a general lack of understanding of their role, the dramatists of today are trying to make their voices heard, and do not hesitate to demand that public bodies support their rights. This work proposes to concentrate on a cross-disciplinary examination of the place and function of the dramatist. It will do this by positing that he is a human entity that is evolving within a concrete artistic and social milieu. After tracing the trajectory of the authorial figure and the evolution of the concept of the dramatist in the history of the theatre, we will concentrate on the various aspects that today make up the identity of the author, that define his sociocultural profile, and that determine his place within the theatre. We will initially focus on the current image of the author seen as a combative artist and as an enlightened mediating figure who is close to his public. Then we will take on the question of the author's professional status. We will then concentrate on the recent phenomenon which presents dramatists as a collective group. The study of the concrete and physical place occupied today by authors in the theatre, and above all the analysis of the principal modes by which the author is integrated (directing-associating) and of the relationships he has with his partners in theatrical creativity (director, actor, public), these will allow us to measure the advantages and limits of his presence within the theatre. Likewise, the representation of his works in the context of subsidized theatre, in the context of private theatre and of amateur companies, the observance of the structures, associations, festivals and other demonstrations that put the dramatist at the centre of their projects, and finally the study of the different ways to propagate and valorize theatrical writing (command performances, resident artists, play reading committees, writing workshops), these will complete this research project. Given our determination to go beyond the world of theatre, we will also examine the current place occupied by the dramatist as a mediating, editorial and scholarly force. Finally, the study of the writing and the analysis of the creative processes of dramatists, followed by an overview of the esthetic and formal tendencies that characterize modern writing, will offer a new way of looking at the way in which authors view their art and will offer a new perspective on the ways in which they contribute to the renewal of dramatic writing
Fernandes, de Oliveira-Weiss Ledice. "Jeu instrumental et théâtre musical : le cas de la guitare dans quelques compositions scéniques de la fin du XXème siècle." Thesis, Dijon, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013DIJOL025/document.
Full textThis thesis examines the role of the musician - taking as an example the guitarist - in the contemporary musical theater. The study focuses on the aesthetic discussion of the role of the instrumentalist in the construction of a new instrumentality in relation to a new theatricality. It studies the works La tragique histoire du nécromancien Hieronimo et de son miroir by Georges Aperghis, Lorenzaccio and Nuovo scenario da Lorenzaccio by Sylvano Bussotti, We come to the river by Hans Werner Henze, Sonant and Serenade by Mauricio Kagel, …Zwei Gefühle… and Das Mädchen mit den Schwefelhölzern by Helmut Lachenmann. Within this renewed theatricality, the idea of theatrical representation is almost always abolished : instead, the story is carried by all performers, including the guitarist. Therefore, the inner theatricality of instrumental playing valorizes the instrumental gesture. Thus, the exploration of instrumental possibilities of the guitar becomes something playful ( as to approach the instrument as an object, with humour, and to extract new sounds from it). This notion of "playfulness" is determinant on the approach to the interpreter. Each studied score in its own way attribute the interpreter itself the main source of their theatricality. These musical theatres make a large number of references to various musical universes associated with the guitar ( rock'n roll , Spanish music ... ) Finally, the potential of guitar’s colour palette is also explored. These references relative to the instrument reveal a process of existential metalanguage
Clavier, Évelyne. "Danser avec Samuel Beckett." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018BOR30022.
Full textThis research analyses the relationship of Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) to dance and the relationship of two contemporary choreographers Dominique Dupuy (1930-) and Maguy Marin (1951-) to his works. The first part shows that Samuel Beckett was influenced by the modern dance he discovered between the two World Wars. His writing became more gestural and his discourse more political. Thus, to the healthy and glorious bodies promoted by the Nazi arts, he opposed in his first theatre the vulnerable bodies weakened by old age and disabilities, those of men whom the Third Reich wanted to make superfluous. In 1953, Lucky's dance in Waiting for Godot is a way of telling the unnamable of this violence. In 1981, the dance of Quad brings back the ghosts of the past to prevent the return of the worst. How to say? Dance, an art of the "non word", is part of this research that runs through Samuel Beckett's work. What one can't talk about is what one has to dance about. Secondly, this study shows how Samuel Beckett's works induce dances in which vulnerable beings resist and call for care. Dancing with Happy days, Act Without Words I and Worstward Ho allows Dominique Dupuy to question the possibilities of old age and transform its representations. Starting with Endgame, Maguy Marin wrote May B in 1981, a choreography miles apart from high-performance dance, which makes disabilities visible. Her work offers an updated reading of Samuel Beckett's work that takes into consideration the condition of disabled persons and allows us to envision the possibility of a more inclusive society. The last part shows that an ethical reading of Samuel Beckett's works and their choreographic projections can become the vector of inclusion practices and emancipation at school. This is the vocation of the Meeting Beckett project conducted in 2016-2017 in partnership with choreographer K Goldstein, with disabled pupils from an Ulis (Unité localisée pour l'inclusion scolaire) and 5th graders. Finally, we need to ask ourselves to what extent artistic practices can encourage new professional gestures at school and initiate an inclusive dynamic, capable of giving a place for everyone in society
