“Aesthetics and Processes of Composed Theatre”
+++
In this talk, David Roesner will seek to both summarize and interrogate what Matthias Rebstock and he suggested to call 'composed theatre', and exemplify some of its characteristics by case studies. He will focus in particular on how working processes of composed theatre tend to differ from more traditional practices and will also look at the ethical and/or political dimension of these differences. Finally, he will try to point out future research perspectives that the term may offer.
David Roesner is a Senior Lecturer in Drama and Theatre at the University of Kent and co-director of the European Theatre Research Network. In 2007 he won the Thurnau Award for Music-Theatre Studies for his article “The politics of the polyphony of performance”. Recent publications include Theatre Noise (with Lynne Kendrick, 2011) and Composed Theatre (with Matthias Rebstock, 2012).
