READERS THEATRE AS, A HUMANIZING PROCESS . .. by Wallace Bacon

Dr Wariac,e A Bacon is Ghairman of the Department of Interpretation at Northwestern Uni,ersity anda pre-eminent ieader in the field RTN is gratdful to Professor Bacomior permission to include this --excerpt flom tiis *opening lecture last June at The Third National Summer Work.ihop

The thing that appeals to me in teaching literaturethrough interpretation is that I ve always been able to doeverything I could do in an Eriglish classroom and then alittle bit more As a teacher, I care about two things I

care about the literay text, and I care about the studentwho is facing the literary text .

What I ve always been after is the fullest possibleway of bringing these two bodies together, The student isa body, and by that I mean the whole human being;. themind and body flow together and there is no way ofseparating them But the literary text, too, is a body

Susan Langer has described the act as the basic unitof an life formsinception, acceleration, climax andcadence, The literary work goes through this act asiweall do repeatedly, day after day So if you think of thepoemand I use the word poem to mean all literaryformsas capturing the same essential process as allliving forms, then it s possible to talk about the poem as aliving body.

In interpretation, you engage the body of the studentwith this structure called the body of the work What youget vs always something unique, no two students aregoing to give quite the same performance of the /thingthey re readrng The body of the reader never/ doesdisappear The process of reading a piece of isnot lust a recreative experience, you don't ius get upand blow a writer s poems through your 'moutn. No, thereader is contributing all the way with his perception

The aocess of interpretation is leading the studentout of himself toward the poem Poems are really morestubborn than hi.iman beings You can get hilman beingsto move, frequently poems Just won t The important thingfor a teacher is to get the student to the point where herecognizes this force in the poem andis willing to give upa bit of himself in order to move toward 'he poem. If youreally do give in to the wOrk although id s always goingto be you performing, there s always going to be a.littlesomething different about the you Plat performsthe,.....poem is going to have its way with you, too

Someplace in the teaching of interpretation, webegan to hear about Readers The(

tre. Sometime in the

mid-fifties I organiied a course/ in Shakespeare forReaders Theatre I was a babe in the.woods and dida t-know what we were cigtting into. was looking for someway to get the readers and the play together and getthese out to the 'listening audie ce.- But how to do it?

We began with a static sta picture. People sat on'stools, used reading stands, had sc,ripts, and all the focuswas. out*in the audience I

Thenthe audience began to say, "lhis all seems sorigid, I m not really comfotable with this. So' we gotpeople off the stools In a production of King Lear. thewhole cast sat in a semicircle and simply came downstage into scene, but again with lociSs into the audience

That went very well, but I began to think againwhether there was anything I could do which.would reallyhelp the play more S6 I guess I've done 10s.or 12Shakespearean plays and tried all sorts of things I

haven t been using scripts for a long time, we do usefairly full costumes a'id a rather minimal set

It would be hard for me to define exactly whatReaders Theatre is fbr me, now The relationshi6

lb

between what goes on on the stageand often it isn'teven on the ttage at alland what goes on in theaudiencvs much more open A good deal of theatre andReaders Theatre melt together 1

But you begin always with the piece you are going to.) perform and the. students who are going to perform it If

you find in that piece a kind of bodily excitement, howcan oou bring it,to your audience? That s what you'refaced with. I don t believe that anything that works withan audience is o k

As a teacher, for me Readers Theatre is much likeother forms of interpretation The real interest in if lies inthe relationship between the performer and the text I

fl nk of the work q my deparfment ?s a humanizingprocess, it s one of the liberal arts It liberalizes it freesthe student to reach outside himself That's what thehumanities are all about

There s a very real sense in which the relationshipbetween the performer and the text he performs is a loverelationship If love means anything, and I guessShakespeare is one who persuades me it doe meansomething, it means being willing to move outside

. yourself and have. some sense of the other, thesignificance of the other In the relationship of the textand the perforfner the text is the other, you really have tolove that text

A poem wants to be loved, and it wants you to help itout, if you can see what its ccying for, help it And it willhelp you That s the wonderful thing about 'reaching out,having a sense of the otherit will always come back toyou You grow, only if you're willing to reach outside ofyourself M§ work in interpretation has been scinatingto me because it has given me an opportunity to seewhat happens tp students, what happens to poems when

. you bring them together in the cpssroomThe prograins we present for' the public are

important, but what 71 most value is that long reheapalperiod with the students. We often spend seven or eightweeks in rehearsak it lakes that long with a play as rich

, as, say, King Lear, to really get a sense of the full bodyAotthe play And yoU neer really arrive, that's the-wonderfulthing. You go back over the same plays year after'year,and each time the play says something you've neverheard before. The richer the tOt, the truer this is

I've grown to like th.g stripped -down kind of thing thatReaders Theatre often does the economical tile of bare

few props The audiaoce is free to till in the scene asthe text gives it to them The excited participation of theaudience is what gives Re4ders Theatre life and makes ita good thing.

of feel that works of literature are alive Peoplechange, and I think poems Change. W accept the factthat paintings change as pigments change. I think thatpoems change as words chahge Poems are embeddedin language and language changes The wonderful thingabout the great works is that they survive these changesThey introduce new perspeptives A great work ofliterature speaks to you where,you are

At Northwestern, we have divided groupperformances into two kinds. and it s really an accidentof history, that we do that* We haye one course called

THE SECRET OF INDIVIDUAL PROGRESS IN ART ... by Paul GregoryPaul Gregory. the well-known producer, returned to the Third National Summer Workshop last June forsix weeks of master classes in Perception Dynamics RTN is grateful to Mr. Gregory for permission toinclude this excerpt from his opdning lectureWe are happy to announce that Mr Gregory will IA Co-Director of the Fourth National SummerWorkshop to he held next year in England He is currently in London to invite an impressive roster ofinternationally_ celebratecl,artists as his guests, and to arrange a series orspecial events that fewvisitors to Ehgland are privileged to experience

In the evolution of man, he created words in order toexpress his emotions and mind activity to his fellow man.

' We must recognize the action of thig" creative principle inthe individual mind It lives abundantly in each of us, weuse this power to initiate a train of thought (causation)directed to an individual purpose

When we have the first impulse.of causation, we havethe first desire for expression As the needs dictated bythe causation manifest, the. individual responds withwords which are emotionally and iriteljectuallyresponsive to the causation

To understand and use this enormous power, we allshould clearly see the relationship between causationand emotions and intellect and expression which isembodied in the spoken word

As a Simple illustration, consider a lighted candlebrought 'into a darkened room The room becomesilluminated to the extent of the power of th'e candle.When the candle is taken away, the room becomes darkagain The illumination and the darkness are bothconditions the one positive, resulting from the presenceof the light, the other negative, resulting from itsabsence.

From this simple example, we can clearly see thatevery positive condition has an exactly opposite negativecondition corresponding to it This correspondenceresults from both conditions being related io the samecause Conditions, v./nether positive or negative, are nosooner called into existence than they become causes intheir turn ank produce still further conditions.

Let us apply this knowedge to words. Upon seeing a:given word, instantaneously one s intellectual powersdevelop an awareness of the intimate associationbetween the cause (the printed word) and the emotional,spiritual and individualized source of that wordTheretore, kihen we speak the word it re-lives throughand by.virtud)of one's individual energy process Thevitality and ex,citement of,the word rest on the individuallevel ocperception, intellect and energy, filtering throughemotional, intellectual and spiritual understanding

We must develop .the habit of subjective mental-*action. The American College Dictionary says this abbut'abbjectre" -Existing in the mind, belonging to thethinking gulijdct rather' than the 'object of thought,relating to or of the iature of a subject 4 it is known inthe mind as distinct from the thing in itself, Mating foproperties or specific conditions of the mincl as distinctfrom general or universal experienCe In effect, it impliesgreater awarenes. Greater awarendgs initiates keener

,perception, which illu,mines the world.. of pOlential, thelimitless possibilities, like the candle in.the dark ;Oclm

One of the,first lessons to learn is that the wondercifthe action of thought power IS, not limited to acircumscribed individuality We as individuals givedirecti`Oh to mind action Since mind action is impersonalthough intelliggnt, it will receive the imprint of one'spersonality and make its iquence felt far beyond theindividual's objective' perception of the circumstances.

There are *three eAceedidgly important elements inmind action one, intelligence, two, impersonality, three,iritention. Intelligence' transmits imprint of thd thou6t1r*

'

(cause) 'and also devises the correct means for bringingthe thought into accomplishment. Impersonality is to,letone s ego go, to allow one s mental powers to performwithout superimposing self The intelligent personalityallows thought action to give lite and vitality to ourintention Intention is absolute, it cannot be thwarted, itis lifeward in direction and life means .power

Energy is everywhere, wanting us to use itThere is a whole other world, other life, other

t.experience right here, within each of you, if you will justrelax and let your thought action do what it has thepower to do. Look around. Everything had its origin in thespirit The entire presence of creation about us isabsolute evidence that the starting point in all things is inthought action, images, ideas, dreams Great works of art,architecture, music, space probes, aH the Wonders of lifetoday, in the past, in the future, are conditions of the mindmanifested

When we learn to let our thought action take over, weare ushered to new levels of dynamic experience We.willbe able to take the simplest of words and bring a newexcitement in using them.

One day you will discover- that habit has begun tomold a mental intention that wants to communicate to themind action process. When .this happens automatically,you are in a totally different ball game You, have turnedthe light on in you, unlimited resources are yours Youwill experience greater perception, greater alertnesi,greater awareness as yOU apply this knowledge td yourevery, concern, your condition will reflect a rebirth ofexcitement this impossible to obtain in any other way

To realize your being, ydu must have consciousness,and consciousness ,ian only come through therecognition of, your relation to something el se, anexternal fact or a mental image To conceive a mentalimage, you must mentally step back from it and look at it

Consciousness is a ,specific and absolute state ofbeing, it implies life, living. Real consciousness is therealization of the ,yvorking of mind action, realization ofthe ,vitality all about us, the aliveness of life ktself

A person is a person is a person so, it,tan be saitt,,.1S a .stick...However, when the stick joins a brush, itbecomes .a handle, the two together become a broom.That-is on port of relation. Take the same stick andplace. a hoe iron at the end and you.have an entirelydifferent type of implement.

A'Pperson is a person at a glance, but what has beenawakened in the mind of one .makes the differenckbetween him- and another person the hoe or ,thebrdoni-1,and between the conscious or the unconsciousman. a.

, Our objective then is to awaken our consciousnessto 'get the most out of every moment. The power whichenables us to do so is absolute and fundamental, itsapplication in this sense is exactly the same as in anyother. I have previously spoken of contemplation from anindividual and personal center. We must allow the law of

, growth to mature in our conception of the workings of.individual contemplation. Image formation will be slow orrapid in exact proportion toythe individual s vitalized

Gregory article...

conception which is in itself an, extension ofcontemptation and perception

We will not all of us immediately be able to producethat which we would. like' but we must not become.discoutaged We mustOknow that the very first intentionwas and is creative, and that its corresponding growth istaking place As we gain experience in these lines ofthought, confidence will increase As this happens,subconscious mind becomes the builder and acts inaccordance with the suggestion impressed upon it by theconscious mind Each expression will be different. eachmind activity will be subject to; the personal creativeenergy inherent to each individual

One of the widest gaps in human experience, as I

have found it, is the 'gap between what we want to be,what we war-it to do, and our willingness to disciplineourselves to accomplish that goal

What is inclicatedAffr my opinion is a new concept/Our whole way of Hfe has to alter What is wrong with tne'theatre today Just a sampling of the Ws we areexoerienuin of wol-id society The enemy

today is indeed MAN his pride his greed hisprejudices his arrogance and lastly his stupidityNo person, no class, no race is immune. no single system,holds a panacea -

What we must have is a new surge of honesty. anextended reach for truth We must rise out of mental,stagnation and call RR that something more and beyondwhat we know and have today The edifice ofwonderment must again fill our lives with tf-te excitementinherent irr the promise of ,man and his genius

Life is a perpetual doing It is exactly in proportion aswe expand our doing that we expand our livingness, ourabilities, our senses, our challenge, our opportunities Noone can grow for us Through the process of our thoughtswe can become what we choose This is the limitlesspossibility we share together

The great thing to bear in mind is that if a thing istrue at all, there must be a reason why it is true When wpfind this reason we know the truth at first hand, forourselves, not from some one else's repcirt Thee itbecomes our own and we begin to learn how to use itTi 19 is the secret of individual progress in art, the samemethod VII.,erve equally well in our search for life itself

'fBacon article ...Chamber Theatre. and on Readers TheatreChamber Theatre is a term ,Wbich Dr Robert Breendevised some years ago as a way of teaLhing prosefiction He discovered that as students read fiction theywould do very well,Wqh *le dialogue- They would brightenup But with passages of narration evurything'would just,die It was as if somehow you were waiting to get to thescene Then the curtains opened and you d livelytext again

' So be wondered wnat wou,;1 happen if tie staged .

prose fiction not as if it dramatizedkeep I as it ,s

with the nrirrator pu( r' tge Ali thu narrator

becomes a character too, with a voice of his own Thestudents responded very warmly to that

So the Chambel Theatre class takes prose fictionand performs it and the Readers Theatre class tends totake other forms There s no reason why they shouldn'tboth be called Readers Theatre or Interpreters.
