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 non-textual
elements of production. (re: Glen McGillivray – “The Discursive Formation
of Theatricality as a Critical Concept”)
With
a partner, read “The Sure Thing” by David Ives… Things to remember: Talk loud!
Talk with feeling. Talk slowly. Speak each syllable clearly.
