Irrational theatre : the challenge posed by the plays of Howard Barker for contemporary performance theory and practice
No full textThis study arose out of an awareness that contemporary performance theories
and production techniques were not appropriate to the plays of Howard
Barker. The first section, a comparison of Barker with Edward Bond,
attempts to 'situate' the former with reference to a major dramatist of the
seventies and early eighties. This reveals a number of significant
differences, including almost diametrically opposed conceptions of the
function of drama.
In the second section, I consider Barker against a wider background of
deconstructive and postmodernist thinking. As opposed to Bond's Brechtian
notion of a Rational theatre, I argue that Barker's theatre is irrational
and suggest that irrational interaction is Seduction. Barker's plays are
considered from the point of view of a theory of seduction - in particular
Jean Baudrillard's. There follows a review of a range of discourses on
performance by influential practitioners such as Stanislavsky. Although
seduction is identifiable in all their practices, it is almost universally
denied or shunned - except by Grotowski. Also the focus of acting technique
is invariably on the actor/character relation with little consideration of
interaction with others.
The third section considers in some detail two plays by Barker - JUDITH and
THE CASTLE, analysing them from a seductive perspective

Resolution of electrical imaging of fluid movement in landfills
No full textThis paper investigates the efficacy of time-lapse electrical imaging using surface electrodes to monitor the movement of leachate within a landfill. A laboratory-based study allowed direct comparison between observed physical dewatering and time-lapse electrical imaging data. In combination with a forward modelling study this demonstrated the limitations and advantages of this geophysical technique in terms of its applicability, resolution and complementarity to conventional dewatering monitoring techniques. It also confirmed the nature, likely magnitude and impact of artefacts created by the resistivity inversion process and highlighted the potential for misinterpretation of results. An 18-month study provided field results comparing hydrogeological and imaging data during the dewatering of a real landfill system. Insights gained from the laboratory study and forward modelling exercise greatly enhanced the interpretation of the field data, enabling the method to be applied with greater confidence in the future. The need to combine a forward modelling exercise with any interpretation of resistivity data is clearly demonstrate
