This third volume in the 4x45 series addresses some of the most
current and urgent performance work in contemporary theatre
practice. As people from all backgrounds and cultures criss-cross
the globe with an ever-growing series of pushes and pulls guiding
their movements, this book explores contemporary artists who have
responded to various forms of migration in their theatre,
performance and multimedia work. The volume comprises two lectures
and two curated conversations with theatre-makers and artists.
Danish scholar of contemporary visual culture, Anne Ring Petersen,
brings artistic and political aspects of 'postmigration' to the
fore in an essay on the innovations of Shermin Langhoff at Berlin's
Ballhaus Naunynstrasse, and the decolonial work of
Danish-Trinidadian artist Jeannette Ehlers. The racialised and
gendered exclusions associated with navigating 'the industry' for
non-white female and non-white non-binary artists are interrogated
in Melbourne-based theatre scholar Paul Rae's interview with two
Australian performers of Indian heritage, Sonya Suares and Raina
Peterson. UK playwrights Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson of Good
Chance Theatre discuss their work in dialogue, and with their
colleague, Iranian animator and illustrator Majid Adin. Emma Cox's
essay on Irish artist Richard Mosse's video installation, Incoming,
discusses thermographic 'heat signatures' as a means of seeing
migrants and the imperative of envisioning global climate change.
An accessible and forward-thinking exploration of one of
contemporary performance's most pressing influences, 4x45 |

students and practitioners of Theatre Studies, Performance Studies

The first of its kind, this timely anthology brings together six
contemporary Australian plays that offer a range of narratives and
perspectives on asylum seekers. A vexed issue within the Australian
community -- particularly among politicians, who often use asylum
seekers to further their own ends -- this collection contributes to
Australias ongoing discourse on unauthorised asylum seekers,
immigration detention, border control and the right to belong. This
eclectic collection includes CMI (A Certain Maritime Incident) by
version 1.0 , a smart, ironic verbatim work that deals with the
Children Overboard Affair and the SIEV X disaster; The Rainbow Dark
by Victoria Carless, a surreal domestic satire about immigration
detention; The Pacific Solution by Ben Eltham, which takes armchair
cricket commentary as a point of departure for a farce about the
Howard governments excision of migration territory;
Halal-el-Mashakel by Linda Jaivin, which looks at the friendship
between two detained asylum seekers; Journey of Asylum -- Waiting
devised by Catherine Simmonds, a series of vignettes based upon the
personal experiences of asylum seekers and refugees living in
Melbourne; and Nothing But Nothing by Towfiq Al-Qady, an
autobiographical play about childhood and war. With a main
Introduction as well as separate introductions to each play by
Editor and Drama Lecturer Dr Emma Cox, Staging Asylum recognises
the crucial role that theatre has played -- and continues to play
-- in one of Australias most hotly debated and urgent contemporary
issues.
A vibrant introduction to theatre that engages with stories,
conditions and experiences of migration. Arguing that migration is
crucially about encounters with foreignness, Emma Cox traces
international histories of migration and considers key issues in
contemporary performance - from Cape Town and Melbourne, to London
and Toronto.
