Staging Stop Making Sense
In 1983 David Byrne, the lead singer of Talking Heads created the concept for the band’s Speaking in Tongues Concert Tour, later seen in the film Stop Making Sense, drawing on influences from the downtown New York theatre scene he was immersed in, including work of the Wooster Group, Mabou Mines, Robert Wilson, and more.

    I loved this; enjoy the abstract in theatre (absurdism of Beckett, Ionesco) but often it's a little too verbal, too harried in the hands of lesser... seeking to appeal to the traditional theatre goers... instead he is giving a space for reflection... this is awesome

    For a version of this video with MUCH BETTER AUDIO go here -> ua-cam.com/video/DDfBo2IHn68/v-deo.html Ahead of screening this video essay at The Legacy of Robert Wilson Conference in August 2024, I made this new version now that I have a real microphone and the slightest idea of how to edit audio. Still leaving this old version up though.

    I don't know if you even check the comments on this video anymore, but I thought you'd like to know this. I was in a class thought by Katie Mitchell and she literally referenced this video at one point. She said she was impressed by the accuracy of this video. So there you go, your Katie Mitchell video is Mitchell approved!

  • @badger6882
    @badger6882 Рік тому

    This really was so innovative. The dollhouse reminds me of the Chase Brody stream by Jacksepticeye two months ago in the ISIS project, in which the interactions by chat impact the story and are supposed to bring about deeper meaning for the plot. Extreme long-form and extreme short-form are very popular these days, with Jerma utilising the best of both. There's just so much potential in these new art mediums springing up with a demand for new media. The 19th century was an era of nationalism, the 20th century a battle of ideology, the 21st century a time of aesthetics.
