▼ The current premise maintains that the qualities that characterize the relationship between verbal and nonverbal expression displayed by the actor, while speaking scripted, memorized text, will be naturally, and spontaneously, influenced by the circumstances inherent in the text, just as these qualities would be influenced by circumstances inherent in comparable “real-life” situations. My research demonstrates that the current implied premise underlying actor training theory - geared towards acting with scripted text - is flawed and, as such, jeopardizes skill development in a safe learning environment, through its inability to accommodate conditions found necessary through this research for both practical skill development, and the development and maintenance of empathic student/teacher relations A narrative telling of my personal history in training and professional work will preface my research finds and argument. This narrative will then be used as reference during the course of the argument, which will use research studies from the behavioural sciences to support the logic behind the narrative developments. Evidence strongly indicates that the claim for the equation in the current premise for actor training is unfounded. When this equation is removed experimentally, it becomes apparent that the criteria used in various training procedures are limited solely to the training exercises, and cannot be applied successfully to the final product. When training and performance situations do not share circumstantial similarity, and comparable criteria, the basic conditions for practical skill development cannot be fully met. The absence of transferable criteria to the performance situation also inhibits the development of an empathic relationship between student and teacher, a relationship deemed necessary by my findings for optimal skill transference as well for ensuring a safe learning environment. Under the current premise, exercises are used which have an actual final goal other than that for which they are ultimately directed. This poses a potential threat to the safety of the student. Without empathy the teacher’s discretion in determining the appropriateness of these training exercises is compromised. In this dissertation, I propose an alternative premise, that recognizes the inherent circumstantial difference in “real-life” and “scripted” reality, exercises are offered that share both criteria and circumstantial comparability with the performance situation. This will guarantee the conditions necessary to both skill development and the growth of student/teacher empathy; thus ensuring a productive and safe learning environment.

▼ This dissertation analyzes the theatrical repertory and performative daily roles of women who acted on the antebellum and Civil War southern stage. Actresses helped shape gendered identity for the South by entrenching and subverting accepted norms of femininity. Because their stage and everyday performances took many appearances according to class, time, place, and race, they showed that constructions of gendered identity vary according to circumstance. Family connections brought women to the southern stage; these relationships operated as one of the multiple cultural, social, and political forces that Judith Butler says constructs identity. Actresses learned to enact scripted feminine behavior in their personal lives and on stage as young girls. Trained to improvise, however, actresses did not always adhere to their play or social scripts. Instead, abiding by and transgressing against the region’s traditional gender norms, they occupied what Victor Turner calls a liminal status. Actresses constituted part of a small, diverse group of urban women who worked for pay and contributed to the region’s developing economy and cultural life. Since actresses maintained private lives, they moved between what Jürgen Habermas terms the private and public spheres and showed that these supposedly distinct worlds actually overlapped. As members of what Michel Foucault calls “a society of blood” in which sex maintained the family relations of the power structure, actresses had to temper the sexuality of performances to maintain pure reputations. Because some players overturned traditional sexual values while others upheld them, these shifting representations of sexuality confirmed the artificiality of gendered identity and showed masculine and feminine roles are bodily styles outwardly enacted through repeated performative gestures. Actresses’ various portrayals of sexuality revealed that a range of sexual identities exists and refutes a binaric understanding of sexuality. Because white actresses dominated women’s roles, they also enacted a variety of racial identities, including African Americans, Native Americans, and indigenous people from faraway places and times. They raised connotations of exoticism and confirmed for white theatergoers the Otherness of people whose skin was darker than their own. Plays by William Shakespeare dominated repertory, but eighteenth-century Restoration dramas and nineteenth-century melodramas were also popular. Advisors/Committee Members: Christy Desmet.

▼ This dissertation is a critical and comparative examination of late twentieth century and early twenty-first century actor training practices in the United States. It looks specifically at: Viewpoints training as developed by Anne Bogart; Meisner technique; and the physical theatre training at the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre. I examine the ways in which theories about the actor, including ideas about the actor’s mind and body, the actor’s creativity, and the actor’s agency and authority, are embodied in classroom practices. Through the combined study of primary sources such as acting manuals, theories about embodiment and creativity, ethnographic participant-observation accounts from classrooms, interviews with teachers, and a phenomenological approach to describing my experience, I attempt to analyze what it means to be an actor in three different realms of training. The first chapter introduces my critical approaches, including my approach to ideas of embodiment, creativity, ethnography, phenomenology, and pedagogy. In chapter two, I focus on how ideas about reality and relationships are embedded in Meisner training and conduct a case study by observing a class called Acting Realism at Texas State University. In chapter three, I argue that Viewpoints, through an emphasis on deconstructing theatrical hierarchies, offers possibilities for actors to shift the balance of agency. I also conduct a case study based on my participation in a two-week workshop with artists from Bogart’s SITI Company held at Links Hall in Chicago in the summer of 2008. In chapter four, I examine the generative pedagogical strategies at the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre, incorporating my experience as a student in the school’s 2009 summer intensive. Throughout, I suggest that conceptual ideas about the actor’s body-mind, creativity, and idealized role have an embodied effect on the degree of agency the actor experiences in the classroom. I conclude by suggesting ways to approach actor training in the future that can create more context and agency for actors.

A police officer may be subject to anumber of complex situationsand stresses intheir everyday work in which different emotionsmay occur, and whereemotional labour is necessary. Our intent of the study isto increase understanding of the emotional partof the police work. How the police areexperiencing an emotional preparation for work,experiencing the feelings that occur in work,and how emotions are processed. Wewill also see howthe police handlethe transmutation from their private feelings anddeal with the waythey express the emotional expressions that the colleagues and thepublic expect to see in different situations. We will see how theyhandle the transmutation from public feelings toprivate feelings again.The intention of the study is also to see if thereare organizational conditions that cansimplify the emotional labour of a police,and identify the conditions. We haveconducted seven qualitativeinterviews. By means of thecollected empirical and the theoretical basewe will analyze the emotional labour of a police, and analyze the factors that may affect the emotionallabour.The analysis describes the presence of individual factors, social support and organizational factorsthat can affectthe emotional workof a police. We illustratethe emotional workof a police with thehelp of a model that shows the relationship between different the factors.

Politietkan bli utsatt for en rekke komplekse og påkjennende situasjoner i sinarbeidshverdag hvor ulike følelser kan oppstå, og der et emosjonelt arbeid blirnødvendig. Vårt formål med studiet er å øke forståelsen for denemosjonelle delen i politiets arbeid. Hvordan politiet opplever forberedelsentil et emosjonelt arbeid, opplever følelsene som oppstår i arbeidet, samthvordan følelsene bearbeides. Vi vil også se hvordan politiet handtererovergangen fra sine private følelser, og handterer de slik at de viser defølelsesutrykk som kollegaer og allmennheten forventer seg å se i ulikesituasjoner. Vi vil også se hvordan overgangen handteres fra de offentligefølelsene til private igjen. Studiets formål er å se om det finnesorganisatoriske forutsetninger som kan forenkle det emosjonelle arbeidet til politiet,og hvordan disse ser ut. Vi har gjennomført syv kvalitative intervjuer. Med hjelp av den innsamledeempirien og studiets teoretiske utgangspunkt analyserer vi politietsemosjonelle arbeid, og faktorer som kan påvirke det emosjonelle arbeidet. Analysen beskriver at det finnesindividuelle faktorer, sosial støtte og organisatoriske faktorer som kanpåvirke det emosjonelle arbeidet til politiet. Vi illustrerer det emosjonellearbeidet til politiet med hjelp av en egen modell som viser sammenhengen mellomde ulike faktorene.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Acting is not normal behaviour: during everyday life, man is relatively unaware of the functioning of his organism. The art of acting, however, requires the actor to reorganise his being to produce seemingly spontaneous behaviour, in spite of his awareness of the character’s experiences and his knowledge of the outcome of the character’s story. This paradox is especially challenging for the actor that relies on his intellectual faculty whilst acting. The calculating and analytical intellect attempts to control the actor’s interaction with his fellow-performer and the given circumstances of the play. This usually leads to the production of clinical or mechanical acting, which cannot capture the spontaneous passion or exuberance of impulsive interaction. As a result of this occurrence, the intellect is seen as an obstacle in acting theory and intellectual actors are often met with a sense of impatience or even regarded as less talented. Actors are advised to “stop thinking”. When we regard acting as a holistic art form, where the actor is required to utilize his entire being, the intellect must also play a significant role in the creative process of acting. In this study I therefore suggest that the intellect is not an inhibiting faculty in acting, but that it is rather the actor’s over-dependency on his intellect that inhibits spontaneous acting. From personal experience as an intellectual actor, I investigate the interactive functioning of the actor’s body-mind to identify the potential role of the intellect during acting. This knowledge is utilized to develop exercises with the goal to guide the intellectual actor and to balance the functioning of his organism as a whole. An attempt is made to align the thoughts of the actor, so that he knows not to “stop thinking”, and to learn “what to think” during acting. The actor’s focus should be on the immediate experience of the character’s situation, rather than an analysis of the character. This study investigates the role of the intellect during creative creation of a logical framework within which spontaneous behaviour can be produced. The abovementioned abilities of the actor’s intellectual faculties are evaluated practically in the form of exercises applied in practice.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Toneelspel is nie normale gedrag nie: in alledaagse gedrag is die mens relatief onbewus van die funksionering van sy organisme. Toneelspel vereis daarteenoor dat die akteur die funksionering van sy organisme herorganiseer om klaarblyklike spontane gedrag te produseer, ten spyte van die feit dat hy bewus is van wat die karakter ervaar én wat in die karakter se toekoms gaan geskied. Hierdie paradoks is veral uitdagend vir die akteur wat op sy intellektuele fakulteite staatmaak tydens toneelspel. Die berekenende en analitiese intellek poog om die akteur se interaksie met mede-performer en die gegewe omstandighede van die toneelstuk te beheer. Dit lei egter tot kliniese of meganiese spel wat nie die spontane lewenslustigheid van impulsiewe interaksie…

The major creative work, Gingerbread Men, serves as an experimental tool to explore the manner in which a film’s visual style impacts on the nature of the actors’ performance and in particular as a method of understanding where agency lies for the creation of the characters in that film. Research prior to the production of Gingerbread Men lead to the selection of the long-take, single shot per scene filming style as a means of forcing myself, as the director, to only be able to make decisions regarding the actors’ performance on set at the moment they were being created and not in the editing suite, as is typical in modern filmmaking. 10 Days to Die then experiments with the clash between these two filming styles in a feature film context, however this is only lightly touched on in the exegesis. The exegesis explores particular aspects of film directing to better understand how the role of the director impacts upon the methods used to know and assess the actors’ performance. In looking at the role of the director on a film set, how directors perceive themselves as an audience for the actors’ performance, what directors and actors consider are indicators of an unsatisfactory performance and how recent discoveries in cognitive science and neuroscience further our understanding of people’s ability to distinguish facial emotional expressions and the manner in which directors know and assess the actors’ performance are investigated and discussed. The exegesis concludes that knowing and assessing the actors’ performance is a complex higher level function that relies heavily upon tacit knowledge, embodied knowledge, acute perception, empathetic projection and emotional experience in distinguishing authentic complex human behaviour.
