Its opening production in 1905, for instance, included circus acts, a ballet, and a fictionalized Civil War battle (Fig. 1). Many of the acts focused on a key feature in the theatrical environment, a water tank beneath the apron of the stage that could be filled to a fourteen-foot depth. High divers plunged into the tank; in shows with an “ice ballet,” its water was frozen into a skating rink; for a production of HMS Pinafore, a replica ship floated in its water with Brooklyn Navy Yard sailors in the rigging. Yet one tank act repeated and was recalled more than any of the others: a phalanx of women in martial costumes who marched solemnly, row after row, into the water and disappeared.","PeriodicalId":42777,"journal":{"name":"THEATRE SURVEY","volume":"64 1","pages":"3 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48400686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Breaking with the long tradition that performers learn on the job, after World War II, national circuses in the Communist bloc created their own academies; they were followed in 1974 by the École nationale de cirque founded in Paris by Annie Fratellini and Pierre Étaix, now the Académie Fratellini, and in 1982 by the Escola Nacional de Circo in Brazil. These examples led to the teaching of circus skills in universities, enabling breaches in the gender barriers between types of circus acts. For example, six years after Ringling Brothers founded a clown college in 1968, Peggy Williams was the first woman to graduate with a contract. At first she felt out of place. In an interview series for the Ringling Museum of Art, she stated that early in her training she had presumed that clowns were gender neutral: “I didn't know there weren't girl clowns. I thought being a clown was being a clown. You could be a man or woman. I had no idea what was heading my way because of gender.” Although she learned under the auspices of great clowns such as Lou Jacobs, she was left to her own devices to craft a clown that reflected her allegedly female nature.","PeriodicalId":42777,"journal":{"name":"THEATRE SURVEY","volume":"64 1","pages":"24 - 48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44651460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the authors within this issue explore a variety of topics within theatre history, each engages with the process of reclaiming the past. Collectively, they ask us to consider fundamental historiographical questions: Where are the gaps and silences within theatre history? Why do these glaring omissions exist and continue to persist? How might computational tools help reveal biases within theatre history scholarship? In answering these questions, the authors invite readers to consider how reclamation of the past can help us better understand our current conditions. In contrast to previous studies that focus on the relationship between femininity and visibility in women’s aquatic performances, Sunny Stalter-Pace’s “Disappearing Mermaids: Staging Women’s Mobility through Aquatic Performance at the New York Hippodrome” takes a deep dive into the Progressive Era—a period marked by political upheaval, technological innovation, and increased immigration and internal migration. Here, Stalter-Pace asks readers to reconsider how the political landscape impacted both aquatic women performers (the titular ‘disappearing mermaids’) and spectators of this important cultural institution of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. In retracing the legacies of these performers, Stalter-Pace ultimately finds that, “the audience’s ambivalent fascination with the disappearing mermaids stood in for a broader cultural interest in and anxiety over modern [young] white women’s mobility.” In so doing, Stalter-Pace not only “reveal[s] the previously concealed” anxieties of white women’s growing social status of the past but also provides greater understanding of the contested terrain of Black girls’ twenty-first-century mermaid performances. Matthew McMahan and Laurence Senelick’s “Send in the Clowness: The Problematic Origins of Female Circus Clowns” utilizes a variety of sources—from advertisements, to interviews, to human-interest pieces in trade publications—to recover the history of early women clown performers of the late nineteenth to the late twentieth centuries. By unearthing the past, McMahan and Senelick reveal that, “until the latter half of the twentieth century, to be both a woman and a clown was a paradox, one that reveals a host of attitudes related to the very nature of the clown archetype within the circus.” Through detailed firsthand accounts, coupled with exhaustive archival research and a nuanced narrative voice, McMahan and Senelick introduce readers to a rich tradition of women circus clowns that has heretofore been a marginalized chapter within theatre history. In “The Race for Rehabilitation: Sign-Mime, the National Theatre of the Deaf, and Cold War Internationalism” Patrick McKelvey places the National Theatre of the Deaf’s (NTD) development of “sign-mime” and cultural exchange alongside Moscow’s Theatre of Mime and Gesture within the context of the “the cultural Cold War” and the “","PeriodicalId":42777,"journal":{"name":"THEATRE SURVEY","volume":"64 1","pages":"1 - 2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47110681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How did Mussolini attempt to guide or co-opt theatre for his own purposes? Many scholars have followed Walter Benjamin in arguing that Fascism aestheticized politics, that Mussolini himself used the actor’s art to become a character in his own political play, that ultimately “the fascist mode was inherently performative, irrational, and coercive” (7). But, as Patricia Gaborik argues in her carefully argued and impressively documented Mussolini’s Theatre: Fascist Experiments in Art and Politics, this focus on Fascism as an aestheticized political experiment neglects the actual situation of the theatre under Mussolini, acting “as if what was produced on stage doesn’t actually matter—as if, that is, when it comes to fascism, art is not an issue” (12). What if, instead of assuming that all theatrical productions under Mussolini were only—could only be—so many forms of propaganda, we look instead at what was actually produced during the ventennio? Gaborik shows that theatre under Mussolini was more complicated than we’ve imagined. Although some plays produced under Fascism toed the party line, most did not, nor were they punished for it. In fact, a kind of strategic aestheticism reigned: Mussolini consistently demonstrated a commitment to art “that went beyond the tactical” and elevated “spiritual valor over immediate propagandistic efficacy” (19). Why? Because, Gaborik argues, Mussolini approached the theatre in two complementary ways that highlighted his “faith in culture as a revolutionary tool” (45). First, he kept the theatre relatively free to demonstrate the alleged openness of his regime, to demonstrate that artists in Fascist Italy were free to follow their genius. Here he followed a strategy of diplomacy, recognizing that theatre","PeriodicalId":42777,"journal":{"name":"THEATRE SURVEY","volume":"64 1","pages":"104 - 106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42886897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A short Conclusion follows up with productive comparisons between past and present celebrity pregnancies. Phillips gives us more than the usual “learn from the past” history-teacher didactics, however; she reinforces the importance of taking seriously celebrity as a cultural indicator of what matters then and now. She also gives us a methodology for reading archival evidence of past celebrity performances alongside the ephemeral performances and archival data of the present. Anchoring our readings of both archive and performance in the functions and needs of the human body, Phillips claims that“[t]he essential needs of the reproducing body— space, access, rest—have not changed, and embodied experience today can inform our sense of its history” (216). This is not to say that Phillips essentializes the reproductive female body; rather, she reads it as a part of the complex workings we call culture. Phillips reveals an eighteenth-century theatre industry that assumed their female stars would be pregnant at times during their careers and adjusted to that fact, offering women paid time off, shorter hours, and generally what we might today call accommodations. These conditions make the present working conditions of women in theatre, as Phillips summarizes them, look pretty lousy. The body— including that troublesome body part, the uterus—is integral to what Tschida calls the “life or well-being” of women, not just as childbearers, but as workers. This book makes it clear that how we attend to the body and its needs is not just a matter of individual well-being. It is also integral to the health of the body politic.","PeriodicalId":42777,"journal":{"name":"THEATRE SURVEY","volume":"64 1","pages":"95 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46845472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
