    Solid and Liquid Modernities in Regional Australia
    Varney, D ; Eckersall, P ; Hudson, C ; Hatley, B ; Reinelt, J ; Singleton, B (PALGRAVE, 2013-01-01)
    This chapter focuses on mobile and fluid identities in performance in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory and in the Kimberley region of Western Australia: territories and regions with unique geographical and cultural features; that are closer to Asia than the large population centres of the nation; are both ancient and modern; and connected to local and global flows of culture, trade, technology and finance. Solid and liquid modernity cohabit in these regions in the form of iron ore, copper and gold and in the stocks and shares that circulate ‘free of fences, barriers, fortified borders and checkpoints’ in the global marketplace (Bauman, 2000: 14).

    After angura?: recent works by Kawamura Takeshi
    ECKERSALL, PETER (UNSW and Performance Paradigm, 2006)
    Japan’s radical theatre movement angura emerged from a cultural space in the 1960s enlivened by acts of protest and experimentation. As discussed in previous essays, angura is characterised by transhistorical dramaturgy, transforming theatrical forms and changed relationships between the stage and the audience. One of the other notable features of angura was the rise of the writer-director, an often charismatic, sometimes autocratic, ‘genius-figure.’ Such writer-directors formed ensembles where their works were developed through distinctive and singular creative processes. These ‘auteurs,’ to borrow an expression from French new wave cinema, came to shape the 1960s theatre in Japan. They included Terayama Shûji, Satô Makoto, Suzuki Tadashi, Ôta Shogo and Kara Jûrô. Working in the era of rebellion and street protest, these young directors were impatient to revolutionise theatrical form. New physical training regimes and hybrid approaches to dramaturgy, aesthetics and design, coupled with idiosyncratic political-cultural outlooks are the fruits of the angura system, the outcomes of a singular auteur-like vision.
