	PCNL Library - Postmodern Theater: A Manifestation of Chaos Theory?
		Instead, postmodern is used here as a historical term to describe the features of OOB Theater as it evolved form the mid-sixties to the present.
		OOB Theater's intention is to de-construct reality, not to interpret it nor to seek 'authentic' contact with the audience as was intended by the Living Theater.
		Postmodern theater has also been heralded as the great break from anthropocentric art to a new form of transpersonal or postcognitive performance ritual where reason and everyday logic are being expanded.

		If the 'postmodern event' occurs as a breaking away, a disruption of what is 'given,' then 'its' forms cannot usefully be pinned down in any final or categorical way.
		Theater and performance, which work toward presence but not toward modernist presentness, are on this account effectively voided as non-art.
		By positioning postmodern performance as essentially a philosophico-aesthetic response to Modernist art, Kaye simply disregards the concrete history--the cultural, political, and technological realities--of postmodern society, and the significance of this social field for the emergence of postmodern artistic practices.

		We are witness to the metamorphosis of late capitalism, the interpenetration of postindustrialism with postmodern culture.
		In "one space" theater, spectators and performers must follow the linear storyline of authorial authority and view the performance from the viewpoint the playwright has determined will be seen by the spectators.
		In the past decades, the corporate forte was to sustain the modernist barrier between spaces, as in contemporary theater the spectators sat in their respective spaces and did not question the veracity of the performed narratives.

	Postmodern dance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A reaction to the compositional and presentation constraints of modern dance, postmodern dance hailed the use of everyday movement as valid performance art and advocated novel methods of dance composition.
		However, the postmodern dance movement rapidly developed to embrace the ideology of postmodernism which was reflected in the wide variety of dance works emerging from Judson dance theater, the home of postmodern dance.
		Lasting from the 1960s to the 1970s the main thrust of Postmodern dance was relatively short lived but its legacy lives on in contemporary dance (a blend of modernism and postmodernism) and the rise of postmodernist choreographic processes that have produced a wide range of dance works in varying styles.

	Global Theatrics and Capitalism
		Tamara is experimental postmodern theater (Simard, 1984; Geis, 1993), a play in which wandering audiences divide and chase a dozen actors on a dozen simultaneous stages never able to see all the action at once (Boje, 1995).
		Postmodern theater is a Tamara of many stories and storylines, on many stages with a fragmenting audience participating on the stage of production and consumption in an examination of the spectacle illusions and mystifications of Global Theater.
		Postmodern Organization Theater transforms the act, agency, scene, agency, and purpose of organization-as-theater into festive improvisations that disrupt the coherent theatrics of modern organizations.

	I. Hunt: Review of Splitter: Sondierungen zum Theater
		The Berlin theater scene since 1990 is (re-)assembled in a provocative and extremely informed style by two experts whose keen minds are known among authors, publicists, and readership to be relentlessly critical.
		Their experiences of twenty years as theater critics come together here in their work on some twenty playwrights and more than a handful of stage directors, for a period of about a dozen years.
		Aside from the essays, reviews, and observations pertaining to modern and postmodern theater and dramaturgy in contemporary Berlin and elsewhere, the interviews with playwrights are highly valuable; e.g., a long conversation with Stefan Schütz, about his plays and his work progress.

	Jens Bjørneboe: The theater tomorrow
		The “theater of the absurd” has left lasting traces in theater history, and it has shown that the concepts “stage” and “stage art”; are far wider and far freer than we thought.
		The “theater of the absurd,” then, has a small fragment of Strindberg as a point of departure, and is therefore pre-Brecht in its essence and in its concept of the theater.
		For the theater, however, these effects of canned entertainment are harmful only so long as the theater folk themselves fail to draw firm lines, but try to imitate the technical media or compete with them in the use of illusory tricks—be it through manuscript, direction, stage setting—and not least the style of acting.

		The theater must not be the catalyst for destruction, when the soul of the audience is in ruins as it is. It should offer a model of new spiritual programs, scan versions of the future—and positive versions at that.

		Modern Organization Theater performances are carefully researched, scripted, and designed so spectators and performers must follow a linear storyline and view the stage performance from the viewpoint the playwright (management, and/or consultants) has determined will be seen by the spectators.
		Postmodern Theater - Fourth, there is the main contribution of this chapter, which is “postmodern Organization Theater.” Here, managers, employees, and perhaps customers and vendors are directed by consultants to explore, stage, and improv their own ongoing problems, and then rewrite their surfaced-scripts in ways that will become changes in the organization’s theater.
		The street theater of the WTO protest, the sit-ins in university administration offices, and boycotts of Footlocker, NikeTown, Gap, Wal-Mart, and Disney merchandise stores are examples of carnivalesque resistance to the spectacle of postindustrial capitalism and its marriage to postmodern consumerism.

	Superfluities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Theater after World War II divided into two streams of innovation, that of performance and directing (exemplified by Peter Brook, Peter Hall and Jerzy Grotowski, who emerged only after 1945) and that of written drama (exemplified by Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, Ionesco and others who similarly emerged after 1945).
		There was at first a great deal of intermingling between these two populations, an intermingling which became rarer and rarer as Brook and Hall began to concentrate on classics and Grotowski began to concentrate on training.
		In part, this is a recognition and exploration of the limitations and possibilities of the form itself, performed in three-dimensional space in real time, unlike an abstract canvas or a concrete poem.

		In the case of [Kara Jûrô’s Jôkyô Gekijô/Situation Theater and Waseda Shôgekijô] this phenomenon takes what may be called an extreme form, for at a later stage their names were changed to include the name of the leader.
		While Kara later rejected the west and concentrated the touring activities of his group elsewhere, Suzuki Tadashi became such an international figure with his connections in the United States and Europe that he gave his company a name that is an English-sounding acronym of a full English name: Suzuki Company of Toga.
		Suzuki is known, like Kara, for his emphasis on the centrality of the actor and especially the actor’s body, but during this early phase of his career his fortunes were bound up with a disciplined playwright, Betsuyaku, who wrote scripts where every word counted.

		Only Witkacy was active in any way in the theater, but in spite of his large output of plays remained a marginal figure in the country's theatrical life and abandoned the theater altogether by the early 1930s.
		It is Kantor who worked in the theater, who survived the war, who remained in Poland, and who served as the post -war mid-wife for the long delayed theatrical arrival of the triumvirate of Witkacy-Schulz-Gombrowicz.
		Kantor's "theater of death" was partly devoted to the re-animation of these golems, with the director playing the role of the Rabbi of Prague.

		The staging originated in 2002 in the Giuseppe Verdi Theater in Busseto, Italy, the village outside Parma close to where Verdi was born and later owned a farm.
		What surprised longtime spectators of Zeffirelli's work in Busseto was the intimacy of his treatment of the familiar opera about a glamorous Parisian courtesan and her experience with true love.
		According to the Postmodern Theater, the sets for the production have been specially rebuilt for the performances at the Bolshoi because its stage is much larger than the one in Busetto.

		Postmodern is used in this case as a military adapted to a postindustrial, information-dominated environment where the force is structured to conduct stability and support operations.
		The emphasis in military planning and force structure transformation is on warfare fought in theaters on Russia's periphery where both the levels and imminence of threats define the exact wars the Russian Government expects to fight over the next 15 years.
		This approach is postmodern because the composition, structure, and organization of those forces negate the Soviet state's modern military force paradigm.
