(corpo)realities | Indiana University’s 2nd Annual Graduate Symposium on Theatre & Performance Studies
This March, the Department of Theatre and Drama will host its second annual Graduate Symposium on Theatre and Performance Studies, a two-day event where young scholars from all over Europe and the Americas will convene in Bloomington to present their research in progress. This year’s conference is titled (corpo)realities and will feature academic paper presentations, demonstrations, actor-training workshops, and short performance pieces that actively question the role of embodiment and presence in art.
The conference is hosted by the Association for Research in Theatre at Indiana University, also known as ART@IU, a newly minted organization formed to foster a scholarly community for graduate and advanced undergraduate students to share their work in theatre and performance studies. With plans to host future conferences, guest speakers, and practice-as-research performances, ART@IU hopes to provide opportunities for Indiana University students to expand their professional networks by developing connections with other theatre researchers within the college and beyond.
Second-year Ph.D. students Sara Taylor and Eric “C” Heaps serve as the president and vice president of ART@IU and co-chaired this year’s conference with faculty support from Assistant Professors Ken Weitzman and Amy Cook. Their idea for the 2013 symposium grew out of a year-long conversation among students and faculty about the importance of attending to the physical reality of the actor’s body on stage and how that body can affect both the actor’s experience in playing a role and the audience’s understanding of it.

“Advances in scientific research continue to indicate that experience and cognition are bodily mediated,” Taylor noted. “That is to say that
the way that way we think is not just related to our individual physicalities, but is fundamentally structured by our experience of living in our bodies.”
Most scientists today do not consider the human mind and body to be separate, distinct entities and, according to Taylor, “When we take this into account, it becomes clear that the sensorimotor capacities of individuals, their size, shape, and ability to move through space can have a profound effect not just on what they feel, but how they know and understand the world.”
The project of the symposium’s participants is to relate this revelation to the theatre. How can innovations in artistic, scientific, and philosophical perspectives concerning the somatic structure our worldview in an age when technology infiltrates and organizes both the mental and physical tasks of daily life? The participants confront these questions from a variety of angles, presenting their work informed by current scholarship in theatre praxis, cognitive science, cultural theory and gender and disability studies.
This posits theatre and performance as a powerful tool for moving people at the cellular level, a happy idea shared by IU Theatre’s March mainstage productions in the new works series, At First Sight, which serve as the keystone of the symposium.

“We planned the conference to begin with a performance of second-year M.F.A. Playwriting student Kelly Patrick Lusk’s new play (a love story), so that the presenters, who are from a variety of disciplines and cultural backgrounds, would have common ground,” Taylor said. On the morning of Saturday, March 23 the public portion of the symposium begins with a conversation featuring Lusk and Weitzman discussing the writing and revising of (a love story) and the process of new play development as an embodied experience.
Coming from more than a dozen universities in the United States, Canada, Europe, and South America, the participants in this year’s symposium truly fulfill ART@IU’s mission to expand professional networks. “It was important to us to extend an invitation to people studying performance acts from many different perspectives,” Taylor said. “We wanted theatre scholars, practitioners, and critics, but we also wanted to meet with people who read performance as a new literature, or as rhetoric, or as a physiological function of the body.”
The keynote speaker for the symposium shares interdisciplinary interests as well. Dr. Petra Kuppers is Professor of English, Theatre and Dance, and Women’s Studies at the University of Michigan. As a performance maker and community artist as well as a self-proclaimed witnessing critic, theorist, and a disability culture activist, Kuppers cites her journey as an artist as emerging from a “passionate exploration of performance ethics and community building.”
Community artist and activist Dr. Petra Kuppers, Professor of English, Theatre & Dance, and Women’s Studies at University of Michigan.
“What we call ‘art’ is up for grabs, needs to be re-thought, re-created, every time we step into the river of practice,” she notes. “I know this because as a disabled dancer living with pain and fatigue, I have to subvert the ordinary, have fun in unusual spaces, and find time out of time.” For over twenty years, Kuppers has engaged community participants gently and with thought-in-process work. Some of these workshops happened in women’s centers, hospices, mental health self-help groups, youth groups, traditional Weavers and Knitters Guilds, with politicians, with people labeled as ‘developmentally disabled’, with cancer survivors, in National Parks, in abandoned buildings, and on the beach.
In addition to teaching, Kuppers is also Artistic Director of The Olimpias, a performance research project that investigates intersections between community art, identity politics, and (new) media. Some of her past works include Disability and Contemporary Performance: Bodies on Edge (Routledge, 2003), The Scar of Visibility: Medical Performances and Contemporary Art (University of Minnesota Press, 2007), and Community Performance: An Introduction (Routledge, 2007). Her most recent book, Disability Culture and Community Performance: Find a Strange and Twisted Shape (Routledge 2011) won the American Society for Theatre Research’s 2011 Sally Banes Prize.
(corpo)realities will convene at the Lee Norvelle Theatre and Drama Center with an evening performance of (a love story) on Friday, March 22. The student presentations will commence in the morning on Saturday, March 23 and continue through the keynote speech in the late afternoon. All events are open to the public, though seating is limited.
Tickets for (a love story) may be purchased through the box office, or by visiting theatre.indiana.edu.

ART@IU is thrilled to announce that the keynote speaker for our upcoming Graduate Symposium on Theatre and Performance Studies will be Dr. Petra Kuppers, Professor of English, Women’s Studies Art and Design, & Theatre at the University of Michigan.
Kuppers is a community performance artist, and a self-proclaimed witnessing critic, theorist, and a disability culture activist who cites her journey as an artist as emerging from a “passionate exploration of performance ethics and community building.” For over twenty years, Kuppers has engaged community participants gently and with thought-in-process work:

Her most recent book, Disability Culture and Community Performance: Find a Strange and Twisted Shape (Palgrave 2011), which explores arts-based research methods, won the American Society for Theatre Research’s 2011 Sally Banes Prize. She leads The Olimpias, a performance research collective. She is currently at work on two projects: a study of disability in Australian and New Zealand/Aotearoan contexts, and a study on social somatics, performance and embodiment.
Her keynote address will be titled “Cultural Work and the Somatic: New Publics of Community Performance
Community-based performance practices enter the archive of performance and theatre studies usually through discussions of organizational forms, through analyses of representations, or through ethnographic interview methodologies assessing levels of agency and participation. This talk offers a different lens on community performance in the public sphere. It focuses on contemporary somatic-based training methods and their effects on how energy circulates among project participants and audience members. As a witnessing critic, how can I discern somatic effects and articulate my own embodied responses? How can transformatory processes emerge in co-witnessing and co-participation? If we think through the queries relational art discourse offers us, how can we find methods of creating and witnessing performance work that make relationality viscerally available, and challenge sociopolitical formations at the level of embodiment? These questions form the desirous horizon of this paper, which will focus on a number of contemporary public performance works, including GAWK by Rollercoaster Theatre, performed in Federation Square, Melbourne, Australia. Rollercoaster Theatre is a group formed out of graduates of a vocational theatre-training course for people with a broad range of disabilities and learning needs.

War Making Bodies: Indiana University’s 1st Annual Graduate Symposium on Theatre and Performance Studies
Join us Saturday, December 10 as the department hosts its first annual Graduate Symposium on Theatre and Performance Studies, where young scholars from all over North America will convene in Bloomington to present their research in progress. This event is open to the public, though seating is limited.
Dr. Rhonda Blair, Professor of Theatre & Acting, Southern Methodist University.
The conference has been organized by PhD candidate Neal Utterback and first-year PhD student Sara Taylor, with faculty support from assistant professor Amy Cook. The conference is titled “War Making Bodies,” and will feature academic paper presentations, demonstrations, a short play relating to the effects of war on the human body and the way those bodies are then represented in culture. The event also features a keynote address by Dr. Rhonda Blair.
Blair is president of the American Society for Theatre Research (ASTR) and Professor of Theatre and Acting at the Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University. Her main areas of interest include acting theory—particularly looking at applications of cognitive science to the acting process—performance studies, theatre and politics, feminism and theatre, alternative performance, and Chekhov. Her book, The Actor, Image, and Action: Acting and Cognitive Neuroscience, is being used by acting teachers in both the U.S. and England.
Blair bases her research in cognitive science to support the belief that consciousness emerges in the interplay between language, thought, and emotions/feelings, which are firmly rooted in the body and its experiences in the world. Blair holds editorial board positions on Theatre Topics, Journal of Dramatic Theory and Criticism, and has also been the recipient of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities.
