> Studies for This Year
Strictly speaking, different from other arts,
a theatre performance is one time event. One production changes from
one day to the next with different audiences. Therefore it is nearly
impossible to preserve a theatre performance. But on the other side,
theatre history can be seen as an accumulation of preserved performances.
This project is concerned with the way of recording performances and
its cultural and regional differences. The majors interests of the
former and present research associates of the Theatre Museum who participate
in this project are different, and the exchange of the information
among the participants should be the advantage of this project. From
this year on the project adds one more different angle and also pursues
performing in movies.
> Research Plans for This Year
This year, following the activity in the last
year, each member continues his/her research in his/her own major
while they compare the results. Meetings will be held every other
month and information about materials for their researching will be
exchanged. Furthermore the discussions will centre on what can be
materials for theatre/movie research and what kind of problem there
would be in connection with the theme “Preserving Performances”.
The themes of the meetings will be as follows
- Materials for theatre and movie research: What kind of characteristics
do they have, and how can we make use of them?
- Demonstrative research based on materials about theatre and movie
- Values of materials about theatre and movie; cultural, regional
and academic value
