项目摘要

Confessional, 'one-to-one' solo performance has become a visible form of performance practice in recent years, taking its place in a culture where the personal has become increasingly commodified. In this context, it seems imperative to understand, as practitioners, what this form of confession might enable, particularly by way of experience and the potential for exchange, for the spectator. Over the duration of three years, as an AHRC Creative Fellow, I am conducting a series of theoretically and culturally contextualised practical explorations which aim to understand what 'confession' in performance is and might be, what it does and might do. In particular I am interrogating the terms 'intimacy', 'risk', 'confession' and 'site', and the inter-relations between these in performance practice.For this, my final research project, my focus is on drawing together the research findings from my previous practical explorations to discover how it might be possible to synthesise the four key terms of my research to create a unified performance context and to explore the potential for creating a mise en scene and dramaturgy of confession. This research will be undertaken with a research-led artist, Minty Donald ( and, coincidentally a former Creative Fellow), who will also function as a principal consultant. Collaboratively, we will investigate how the creation of an intimate, one-to-one confessional 'journey' of exchange and interaction might be realised in a large, conventional and public theatre space.Over a period of six months we will research both the sacred and the secular site ( for example, a religious garden and a sculpture park) as a contextual framing for the creation of a mise en scene and dramaturgy of confession. This period will also see us engaging with the work of a number of other artists, for example, exploring the impact of sound and light on an experiential, interactive confessional journey. There will be a designated period of enlisting invited participants for a run of experimental performances in the recreated space, and different modes and variables of performance exchange will be utilised, including physical (e.g. holding), oral (exchange of verbal information)and silence. The aim of these experimental performances is to determine: the extent to which an intimate, confessional interaction is achievable in a large, conventional theatre space; whether it is possible for these to be experienced as 'exchange' and gift; and whether this might potentially be experienced as a secular equivalent to absolution.The participants for the experimental performances will be informally interviewed and their feedback synthesised in the devising of a final public performance, which aims to engender the greatest degree of exchange between performer and spectator in such a way that the spectator feels to some extent liberated by the end of the piece. This performance will also be filmed and made available to a much wider audience.In addition, a symposium will see a group of practitioners invited to present work-in-progress that has emerged out of their own practice-led research into similar issues, alongside a number of academics invited to give papers relating to confession and confessional performance. I will also present a paper which will be a critical reflection on the findings of this project. This paper will then be submitted as an article to a peer-reviewed journal (Performance Research).Given the extent of solo, confessional practice in evidence in the UK and the USA, and the context in which this practice takes place (that of a mass-mediated confessional culture), the purpose of this project is to offer a timely practical interrogation of the confessional form and of my own practice.

近年来，忏悔式的“一对一”独奏表演已经成为一种可见的表演形式，在个人表演日益商品化的文化中占据了一席之地。在这种情况下，作为实践者，似乎必须理解这种形式的忏悔可能会使观众，特别是通过经验和交流的潜力。在三年的时间里，作为AHRC创意研究员，我正在进行一系列理论和文化背景化的实践探索，旨在了解表演中的“忏悔”是什么，可能是什么，它做了什么，可能会做什么。特别是，我正在询问“亲密”，“风险”，“忏悔”和“场地”等术语，以及这些术语在表演实践中的相互关系。我的重点是将我之前实践探索的研究结果汇总在一起，以发现如何综合我研究的四个关键术语来创建统一的绩效背景并探索创造一个令人毛骨悚然的场景和戏剧性的忏悔的潜力。这项研究将与一位研究主导的艺术家Minty Donald（巧合的是，他也是一位前创意研究员）一起进行，他也将担任首席顾问。我们将共同探讨如何在一个大型的、传统的公共剧院空间中创造一个亲密的、一对一的忏悔交流和互动的“旅程”。在六个月的时间里，我们将研究神圣和世俗的场所（例如，一个宗教花园和一个雕塑公园），作为创造忏悔场景和忏悔戏剧的背景框架。在此期间，我们还将参与其他一些艺术家的作品，例如，探索声音和光线对体验式互动忏悔之旅的影响。将有一段指定的时间招募受邀参与者在重建的空间进行一系列实验性表演，并将使用不同的表演交流模式和变量，包括物理（例如举行），口头（交换口头信息）和沉默。这些实验性表演的目的是确定：在一个大的、传统的剧院空间中，亲密的、忏悔的互动在多大程度上是可以实现的;这些互动是否有可能被体验为“交换”和礼物;以及这是否可能被体验为一种世俗的赦免。实验表演的参与者将接受非正式的采访，他们的反馈将被综合在设计最后的公开表演，目的是在表演者和观众之间产生最大程度的交流，使观众在作品结束时感到某种程度的解放。此外，还将举办一场研讨会，邀请一群实践者介绍他们在实践中对类似问题进行研究的成果，并邀请一些学者发表有关忏悔和忏悔表演的论文。我还将提交一份文件，对该项目的调查结果进行批判性反思。然后，本文将作为一篇文章提交给同行评议的期刊（性能研究）。鉴于在英国和美国的证据独奏，忏悔实践的程度，以及这种做法发生的背景下（大众介导的忏悔文化），这个项目的目的是提供一个及时的忏悔形式和我自己的实践的实际审讯。
