| description | This dissertation attempts to draw parallels between my process as a graphic artist and my process as a theatre-maker. The study has been prompted by my discovery of theatre-practitioners whose graphic art practices preceded and suffused their subsequent performance works and my desire to trace the antecedents of this phenomenon. The dissertation charts the movement from art to performance as exemplified by the Futurist and Bauhaus schools who devised a poetics of abstraction for the theatrical stage. Drawing on the theoretical frameworks and modes of practice developed by artists associated with these historical movements, I identify attributes of my own works that function in similar ways. I then go on to link my practice to the concept of the postdramatic as outlined by Hans-Thies Lehmann, with a specific focus on how visuality operates in postdramatic performances. I conclude by articulating the artistic and creative principles that will inform my final production in 2017. |
