Gigi Argyropoulou<\/strong>*<\/a> and Stefanie Sachsenmaier<\/strong>**<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This extended issue of Critical Stages\/Sc\u00e8nes critiques<\/em> explores\u00a0reconfigurations of performance and politics emerging on unstable grounds and has been conceived, created and finalised during a period of shifting conditions that permeated all sorts of aspects of life across the globe. It examines specific performance operations, spatialities, epistemologies and mutations in multiple temporalities in order to begin to sketch out a field of performance-making that seeks to experiment with specific \u201cperformance elsewheres\u201d – forms and deformations that ephemerally seek to challenge structural hierarchies and existing imaginaries. In this regard the contributions presented here might be seen as temporary interventions into a broader complex space that continues to develop and unfold. The issue has been curated with Boaventura de Sousa Santos\u2019 call in mind to \u201cimagine new ways of theorizing and of generating transformative collective action\u201d[1]<\/sup><\/a> in the context of challenging conventional epistemologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ethos of this special issue is thus self-reflexive, in that it thematises and enquires into ways of acknowledging, coping, challenging and existing on unstable grounds – on the level of shaping concrete practices and epistemological frameworks. In this sense it refuses to appear as finished and complete but rather exists in process, in relation to and dependent upon other temporal and time-specific explorations about performance-making today. The contributions assembled here examine specific methodologies, operations, tactics, resonances and potentials of performance; they consider the ways these respond to specific challenges and regenerate practices through mutation, (de)formations or \u201cprocesses of breakdown and recombination,\u201d as one of the authors, Aparna Nambiar, argues in referring to dance practices in the Southeast Asian region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key questions addressed in this issue are: In what ways might performance practice offer ephemeral instances of \u2018undoing\u2019 and destabilising existing frameworks? How might performance micro-operations disrupt perceptions and ways of looking that resonate with wider political struggles and decolonial choreographies? What new relations between human and more-than-human life-forms might we discover through performance-making that have the potential to reconfigure existing dramaturgies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contributions we have assembled here are composed of images, videos, sound and text in varying registers. They present diverse reconfigurations of performance practice rooted within, and emerging from specific landscapes. The voices represented provide a glimpse into current thinking through and on operations of performance practices from diverse perspectives, localities and positionings, discussing ephemeral operations that form, deform, embrace and criticize the notion of the performative today. Some seek to intensify existing connections, while others attempt to reimagine relationships. Together they offer a collective investigation into performance as a constantly interdependent practice through multiple specificities and thus a topos that stubbornly seeks to reimagine and sketch other ways of worlding\/being in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collection opens with Aparna Nambiar\u2019s article \u201cMutations in Crisis: Generic Engineering in Contemporary Southeast Asian Dance,\u201d in which she discusses specific processes of cultural mutation that emerged in response to epochal shifts in the ecologies for artmaking in South East Asia. In this context Nambiar seeks to unpack entanglements between the postcolonial nation and the demands of the neoliberal art market. Following on, in her article \u201cThe Self-Immolation of David Buckel: Towards a Postdramatic Activism,\u201d Victoria Scrimer discusses an act of almost unnoticed self-immolation, arguing for a postdramatic activism that challenges dominant modes of perception and the politics of the spectacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thematising the political struggle that continues unfold in Hongkong, in her article \u201cHybrid Nativism and Postcolonial Subjectivity in the Work of Hong Kong Choreographer Helen Lai,\u201d Yaping Chen raises issues of artistic freedom and cultural vitality in a contested and acutely unstable space. Focusing on the work of Hong Kong choreographer Helen Chai, Chen discusses postcolonial sensibilities, cosmopolitan multiculturalism and fluid subjectivities. Rainy Demerson, in her article \u201cBlack Privilege in the Black Box: Mamela Nyamza\u2019s Choreographic Resistance,\u201d examines South African choreographer and activist Nyamza\u2019s performance Black Privilege in view of issues of Black womanhood and their objectification. Directly engaging with debates concerning the decolonisation of performance, she highlights methods of hyper-visibilisation and the spectacular non-spectacle, in an overall discussion of processes of witnessing, re-membering and (re)mapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through a discussion of a public intervention by the group Anonymous Visual Artists, Cecilie Ullerup Schmidt examines Danish colonial legacies in her article \u201cThe Fall of Greatness: Toward an Aesthetics of Co-(re)production\u201d and argues, drawing on the work of Bojana Kunst, for thinking through the aesthetics of co-(re)production. Highlighting issues of interdependency, Schmidt suggests that art can be seen as a social structure woven through by history, institutions and people. Through an analysis of another form of activist intervention during the official celebrations for commemorating Greece\u2019s entry in World War II, Philip Hager, in his article \u201cUnstable Histories: Repertoires of Memory and the Making of Public Spheres in Contemporary Greece,\u201d discusses how performance operations might destabilise the grounds on which history is enacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tria Blu Wakpa draws on the framework of settler colonial choreographies in the US context in her article \u201cChallenging Settler Colonial Choreographies During COVID-19: Acosia Red Elk\u2019s Powwow Yoga,\u201d in which she engages with debates on the infringement of Indigenous people and more-than-humans. Her analysis of Acosia Red Elk\u2019s online Powwow Yoga sessions thematises ways of challenging settler colonial structures through a centering of contemporary Native practices. Within a broader context of challenging issues of Eurocentrism and Orientalism, Kin-Yan Szeto offers an examination of cultural differences, flows of culture and political and cultural agency. Her analysis focuses on the work of Cloud Gate Dance Theatre in Taiwan as a cosmopolitical intervention in the dancescape in her article \u201cLin Hwai-min\u2019s Water Stains on the Wall<\/em>: A Cosmopolitical Perspective.\u201d Drawing on an intersectional approach, Supraja R raises issues concerning impersonation and gender non\/conformity in her analysis of two theatrical productions she witnessed in India in their article \u201cDestabilizing Impersonation, Cleaving Gender Non-conformity: Akshayambara and Lady Anandi.\u201d Exploring the notion of the perfomatic, they provide a historical appraisal of the development of theatre practices in India informed by colonialism, also discussing the ways these are entangled with gender, caste and class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving to a discussion of ethical agendas and principles, Steff Nellis, in his article \u201cTheatre Strike for Climate: Lending a Voice to Nature in Tribunal Theatre,\u201d enquires into performances that rethink the relationship between performance and ecopolitics by reconfiguring the dramaturgy of the courtroom on stage and urging the spectator to imagine new futures beyond eco-colonialism. Foregrounding ethico-political dimensions of the aesthetic experience Natassa Siouzouli, in her article \u201cEthical Shadows and the Political Subject,\u201d discusses transformations of the subject in the aesthetic situation. Alexandra Baybutt examines issues of self-organisation, non-aligned modes of operation and co-responsibility in her contribution \u201cContexts, Traces, Inspiration: Three Statements of Working Principles from the Former Yugoslav Space.\u201d Incorporating three archived texts outlining the working principles published between 2005 and 2016 of selected cultural projects, Baybutt discusses the ways these documents relate to the legacies of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and ponders on their contemporary relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following articles offer reflections from within processes of making. Nien Yuan Cheng, in her article Rehearsing \u201cKaren\u201d: the Dramaturgy and Politics of Cross-cultural Digital Theatre,\u201d discusses a devised piece of Zoom theatre that was created during the pandemic by a diverse group of artists based in Singapore, Malaysia, and the United States. She thematises both cross-cultural encounters about race and privilege as well as dramaturgies and potentialities of digital theatre. Frances Babbage, Malaika Cunningham, Zelda Hannay and Joseph Houlders, in their collectively crafted contribution \u201cWe\u2019re all part of the same collective, we just haven\u2019t quite figured that out yet\u201d: Dramaturgies of Participation in The People\u2019s Palace of Possibility,\u201d reflect on their experience of a live interactive installation reinvented during Covid-19. In this context they thematise ways of building dynamic, reparative structures in an overall attempt to generate multiple visions of utopia in response to a socio-political context marked by disruption and isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on her experience of working with detainees held in UK immigration detention centres as part of a charity project, Jane Munro, in her essay \u201cMovement Through Disorientation: the De-stress Through Movement Activity Pack Created for Music in Detention,\u201d thematises issues of dis-orientation and grounding as explored through her movement-based workshops. In \u201cI Dance for the Dead: The Blue and Black in the Pacific: A Eulogy for Teresia Teaiwa,\u201d Ojeya Cruz Banks reflects on the influence of Teaiwa for the field of Pacific Studies and offers a film in which she dances a eulogy. The contribution also functions as a homage to practices of dance as a mourning rite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We close this collection with Loren Kruger\u2019s essay \u201cPerformance and Politics in a Time of Confinement\u2014Virtual Stages Between South Africa and African America,\u201d in which she retraces the circum-Atlantic routes that have historically linked Africa, African-America and Europe in a discussion of issues of sorrow and revolt during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the context of discussing two performance works \u2013 Reuben Caluza\u2019s Influenza and Neo Muyanga\u2019s A Maze in Grace \u2013 complex historical entanglements are explored in view of issues of contagion and mourning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Placing a focus on operations of performance practice concerned with the political during periods of instability offers a particular lens on the ways that socio-political challenges are processed and reconfigured. In such times it might be less about imagining new ways of generating transformative action but more about paying attention to the messy unfinished entanglements we are already part of… perhaps it is exactly in the break that we never leave practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closing this issue together\/apart while at the same time refusing closure, refusing to appear as finished and complete, we call for connections, relations, borrowings and offerings, continuities, interdependencies with other time-specific explorations for performance-making today; performance doings and hauntings that ephemerally bring into being fugitive, stubborn and concrete elsewheres\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like to give our thanks to a number of people who supported the creation of this special issue: Savas Patsalidis for his invitation, trust and support; the contributors for their persistent and diligent work, our peer reviewers who offered ideas and advice, and amongst these especially Susan Melrose, whose detailed editorial recommendations were deeply appreciated by many. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gigi and Steffi initially met in the early 2000s through and in the making of experimental performances, together with others, in the DIY performance scene of Athens. This issue constitutes one formation emerging from incomplete and ongoing encounters in performance and academic contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
