'F- F- Felt it': Breathing Feminist, Queer and Clown Thinking into the Practice and Study of Sarah Kane’s Cleansed and Blasted
No full textThis thesis uses studio practice, scholarly research, close reading of text, performance observation and conversation with practitioners to establish diverse readings of Sarah Kane’s Cleansed. It includes original material from the 2012 productions of Cleansed in Japan (Kamome-za Fringe Theatre), and in Ireland (Bare Cheek Theatre). It notes practice on Cleansed in gallery spaces (Cast-Off Drama, UK). It offers a dramaturgical approach to workshopping the play from a feminist and queer position, informed by theories of gender and transgender, and the marginalised, loving and delinquent practice of clowning. The research discusses principles of breath, voice and sexuate difference drawing primarily on the philosophies of Luce Irigaray, on the voice practice of Cicely Berry and the clown teaching of Sue Morrison.
The work challenges the ‘in-yer-face’ theatre discourse on Kane arguing that it represents a McDonaldization of its subject matter, and an insidious trivialisation of her texts. It offers new thinking on the opening night of Blasted (1995), suggesting that the ‘furore’ was fuelled by collective male hysteria and superstition; its roots centred in mourning. Analysing Cleansed in relation to Edward Bond’s Saved and Lear, it explores tropes of ghosts, stitching and the silent scream, and argues that Kane militates for gynocentric time and becoming. It analyses the symbol of the perimeter fence as a feature of 1980s Britain, noting the strength of binary associations configured in it with reference to both English football hooliganism (male) and the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp (female). It argues that Kane sets up heteronormative binaries in Cleansed to debate and contest them.
A key conclusion of the thesis is that Cleansed politically addresses and dramatises issues of transgender experience presenting accounts of gender violence, mutability, transitioning, the sharp fractures and silences of gender dysphoria, but also, ultimately, queer desire, love and optimism

The Treatment of Rape in Women's Performance Art and Sarah Kane's 'Blasted'.
No full textThis was a Master's thesis, produced as part of the MA in Writing for Performance course at the University of Huddersfield, 2007-8. the dissertation was submitted and passed in April 2008, and was produced under Dr Linda Taylor. It situates Sarah Kane's work in a context and heritage of feminist performance art from the 1950s onwards. It discusses how performance artists such as Ana Mendieta, Yoko Ono, Suzanne Lacy, Judy Chicago, Niki de Saint-Phalle, Valerie Export, the Womanhouse project, Tracey Emin, Karen Finley and Jenny Holzer worked with the theme of rape, before analysing how Sarah Kane treated this in her 1995 play 'Blasted'

Statistical Correlations of Exoplanet Eccentricities
No full textExoplanet discoveries have proved numerous planetary system orbital configurations, including the discovery of exoplanets on highly elliptical orbits. The most eccentric planet in our own solar system, Mercury, exhibits an eccentricity of only 0.205, and Earth’s eccentricity is a mere 0.017. By comparison, exoplanets have been discovered with orbital eccentricities ranging from zero to 0.956 (HD20782, Kane et al. 2016). Because the eccentricity of a planet is largely responsible for its received stellar insolation, and thus its climate and habitability, it is crucial to be able to model this value in the absence of measurements. The prevailing theory explaining the enhanced ellipticity observed is that dynamical instabilities can cause eccentric orbits by planet-planet scattering where one planet is ejected from the system and, in accordance with the law of conservation of angular momentum, the other is left to undertake an eccentric orbit. Furthermore, it has been observed that low-mass stars are less likely to harbor giant planets than massive stars (Nielsen et al. 2019). Thus, the higher frequency of giant planets around more massive stars may lead to interactions whose signatures remain in the angular momentum of eccentric orbits. This work aims to connect eccentricity distributions to planet formation and dynamical evolution models by investigating possible correlations of eccentricity with host star mass and chemical composition. We describe series of statistical data analysis techniques, including to identify patterns in the distribution of exoplanet eccentricities and correlations with host star properties. Such correlations may have significant implications for the relative occurrence rate of terrestrial planets in systems where giant planets are more likely to exclude their orbital integrity
