PLAYWRITING – Day 27
·
Staged readings of our scripts from yesterday.
·
Discussed an excerpt from Roland Barthes essay
“Baudelaire’s Theater” where he writes that theatricality is “theater-minus-text, it is a density of signs and
sensations built up on stage starting from the written argument” (1972:26)
and how it introduces the notion, promoted by the European avant-garde since
the beginning of the twentieth century, that the “essence” of theatre was to be found not in the written text but in
the nontextual elements of production. (re: Glen McGillivray – “The
Discursive Formation of Theatricality as a Critical Concept”)
