DasArts Daily, Theatre in the future (year 3000) draft proposal
DasArts Daily, Theatre in the future (year 3000)
Everyone understand this as a draft for our proposal, a sketch of our starting points. Wednesday we will meet with the whole group (Cees has been out of the country) and hand in our final proposal/budget.
NANCY
My form of theatre making is deeply embedded in the particular lived experience of my ancestors. Cells of my grandmohters are in me , the patterning of her DNA I hold within me. One could say that the anatomy is, whether we like it or not, everyones destiny.
Nancy inspirate of the future she looks back into the ancient past - for instance some ancient practices you can be in the present and shift to the past and shift back to present, to constantly play with time and space in the landscape of the imagination.
KEES:
I am not so much concerned/interested in the future. The now is what concerns me. Though not the\'cafashion of every days madness. Not that. Today I had some small talk with Cees on the phone. It was for me an important small talk. We exchanged our believes briefly. I believe human conditions havent changed so much as we look back. Hope/despair/love hate, the whole scala of human emotions stayed pretty much the same. The instruments develop but we find ourselves in an eternal status quo. During my project with the factory I had\'caan interview with an economist. I interviewed him about happiness. One conclusion he made was that our hapiness depended on rivalry.
He stated that the new economy would\'camake people more free. I had to think about an essay of Umberto Eco.
Eco wrote that the socalled freedom would create another immovability -an emotional immovabillity which i experience when I watch sometimes news or go through a book on warfoto!
grafie. I remembered a book about a man who remembered everything in his life. He got paralyzed. This is sometimes how I feel. I recently visited South Africa. I had to to some work about war photography.\'caI got paralysed too. I got stuck somewhere between the local polo club and the shacks of Joburg. I am still laying there with my thoughts and feelings. Yesterday a man gave me a stone. I was just crossing the street and thought he was a beggar. I will bring you the stone.
ALISON
Various possibilities for somewhat dark, pessimistic views on both the now and the future present themselves.
Emotional paralysis/ Natural Apocolypse/ Fear etc etc - all in my opinion completely realistic - but what to do with this information? I must admit to having a desire to make something that offers not only a clear vision of the human condition but also one that offers some pin pricks of hope....
NICOLA
How could one flood the Frascati Theatre - how would it look like, how would one be able to get into/out of the building, what happens to the real estate? Building a model of this vision would be the second choice compared to doing the real flooding.
NERVOUS SYSTEM
NANCY
Since the body is not a natural given but shaped by cultural conditioning. It is the site where a society
norms and regulatory ideals are manifest, and where identity, as defined by gender, race and class is located. What hapens in a post-human society what happens when our electromagnetic fields merge with the electronic's of the city?
ALISON
Principles of connection and heterogenity: any point of a rhizome can be connected to anything other, and must be....A rhizome ceaselessly establishes connections between semiotic chains, organisations of power, and circumstances relative to the arts, sciences and the social struggles....There is no mother tongue, only a power takeover by a dominant language within a political mulitplicity. language stabilises around a parish, a bishopric, a capital. It forms a bulb. It evolves by subterranean stems and flows, along river valleys or train tracks: it spreads like a patch of oil...('a thousand plateaus' by deleuze and guattari
NANCY
We discussed coded language - the mutating language via the use of fast networked communication interfaces e.g sms.email etc. tatoos and criminals - coded embodiement - the crime scene
NICOLA
crime, future, apocalypse, cells, fear,...Assuming I commit a crime or I would be considered a person that is close to a terror organisation, in what kind of databases will my name appear? What kind of records does the world, the governments, the different countries keep? How do these database places, that name and track Bin Ladens and Carlos friends, physically look like - huge halls or basements, minicomputers and - where are they?
FORM
of the work - kees suggets it to be a journey so that we are all do our own work, e/g/separate entities since has done his group blocks at dasarts. then we have 5 different visions/solos in one evening...singular strategies to confront the problem!
A few people expressed that they would like to converge & make a work of theatre rather than a fragmented 'installation', which is why they opted for the project.
WORKING METHODS
20 days are reserved in our agendas for a full time commitment to this project. Sharing a rehearsal space seems the way to go - the space still needs to be found. Nancy created a Netspace in which we will exchange ideas, dump material and information.
