Sport, Space And Gender: Embodying Alternate Girlhoods With The Wolves, Kim Solga
Sport, Space And Gender: Embodying Alternate Girlhoods With The Wolves, Kim Solga
Department of English Publications
What does it mean to throw like a girl? If we empower girls to throw – and to kick, to jump, to fly through the air like never before – how does that space-making impact the humans into which they grow? Does staging girls at sport help us to understand sport as a space-making activity every girls needs, and to which every girl has a right? This article reflects on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play The Wolves as it explores the relationship between the practice of sport and the practice of gender.
Practising Diversity At The Stratford Festival Of Canada: Shakespeare, Performance And Ethics In The Twenty-First Century, Erin Julian, Kim Solga
Practising Diversity At The Stratford Festival Of Canada: Shakespeare, Performance And Ethics In The Twenty-First Century, Erin Julian, Kim Solga
Department of English Publications
What does it mean to ‘practise’ diversity in Shakespeare production in the twenty-first century, specifically in an Anglo-American context? How is ‘practising’ diversity, from devising and directing to work in the rehearsal hall and on audience engagement, materially different from the now-familiar (but still important) goal of ‘representing’ diverse bodies on stage? In the last twenty years, debates about what the diversification of Shakespeare performance – along racial lines, gender lines, the lines of age and ability – means or could mean, and the simultaneous interrogation of what ‘Shakespeare’ signifies, for whom, and to whose benefit, have become increasingly urgent …

Artifacting An Intercultural Nation: Theatre Replacement's Bioboxes, Kim Solga
Department of English Publications
At first, BIOBOXES, by Vancouver's Theatre Replacement, seems like straightforward multiculti fare—theatre celebrating Canada's cultural mosaic. But then you step inside the tiny boxes and find yourself a spectator to your own investments in multicultural performance.

Toronto markets itself as a city in renewal, a “creative city” of the future full of arts and culture. Alongside the official pitch, a number of street-level underground initiatives reimagine Toronto's utopic future in a different way by means of site-specific performances.

Body Doubles, Babel's Voices: Katie Mitchell's Iphigenia At Aulis And The Theatre Of Sacrifice, Kim Solga
Body Doubles, Babel's Voices: Katie Mitchell's Iphigenia At Aulis And The Theatre Of Sacrifice, Kim Solga
Department of English Publications
What happens to a body when circumstance demands it enact its own forgetting? What reaction in turn does a body in the process of violent self-erasure prompt in its spectators? These and related questions propel my investigation of Katie Mitchell's 2004 National Theatre production of Euripedes' Iphigenia at Aulis. Mitchell's chilling representation of Iphigenia's final moments, during which the young girl speaks with apparently patriotic fervour her willingness to be murdered for her nation's sake, embeds the very loss that such a performance of sacrifice typically elides. The result: two bodies collide on stage before our eyes - the compliant, …
The Line, The Crack, And The Possibility Of Architecture: Figure, Ground, Feminist Performance, Kim Solga
The Line, The Crack, And The Possibility Of Architecture: Figure, Ground, Feminist Performance, Kim Solga
Department of English Publications
How and where do architecture and performance collide? Theatre studies has been, over the course of the last decade, increasingly interested in the relationship between stage and space; that inter- est, however, has primarily been figured by marrying theories of human geography with studies of theatrical performance. “The Line, the Crack, and the Possibility of Architecture” asks what it might mean to explore the spaces of performance through the lens of another plastic art—the art of building—and investigates what the discourses of architecture theory, both classical and (post)modern, might have to say to those of us who study the vicissitudes …

Blasted’S Hysteria: Rape, Realism, And The Thresholds Of The Visible, Kim Solga
Blasted’S Hysteria: Rape, Realism, And The Thresholds Of The Visible, Kim Solga
Department of English Publications
A curious blind spot remains in the critical response to Sarah Kane’s Blasted : the rape of Cate by Ian. In a play famous for its onstage violence, why is this rape, one of its pivotal moments of brutality, left unstaged? My article seeks to worry this lacuna by exploring the theoretical and historical dimensions of the ‘‘missing’’ in Kane’s play. I argue that Kane’s representation of Cate’s rape as missing signals both her engagement with the history of rape’s representation – an elusive, evasive history rather than an outrageous, in-yer-face one – as well as a deft understanding of …
Rape’S Metatheatrical Return: Rehearsing Sexual Violence Among The Early Moderns, Kim Solga
Rape’S Metatheatrical Return: Rehearsing Sexual Violence Among The Early Moderns, Kim Solga
Department of English Publications
What happens when theatre crosses the line, risks danger in the real? This paper explores the pernicious theatricalization of sexual violence in early modern England, its trouble-making uptake in Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, and Julie Taymor's contemporary response in her 1999 film version of the play. Along the way the article probes a handful of questions about theatre's social efficacy: what are the consequences of understanding theatre as a potentially malevolent form of public art and expression? How do we account for those moments when theatre poses genuine risk? And, more importantly, how do we build a response to, an ethics …
