PERFORMATIVE LANGUAGES OF EMOTION A Dialogue between Arts and Inquiry
Art: Konferenz
Datum: 10.06.2012 bis 11.06.2012
Ort: Berlin
Veranstalter: Languages of Emotion” and the Center for Movement Research of the Freie Universität Berlin, in cooperation with the Staatsoper im Schillertheater
An international conference sponsored by the Excellence Cluster “Languages of Emotion” and the Center for Movement Research of the Freie Universität Berlin, in cooperation with the Staatsoper im Schillertheater, the journal “Opera Quarterly” (Oxford University Press), the University of Chicago, and the CIC (Center for International Cooperation) of the Freie Universität Berlin.
Berlin, Staatsoper im Schillertheater, June 9-11, 2012.
Overview of the Conference
The “Performative Languages of Emotion” conference is an attempt to discuss emotions in the performative arts as a dialogue between theory and praxis, art and scholarship, in the form of an event with broad public appeal. The goal is to strengthen the dialogue between scholarship and art-making and to test out new forms of interdisciplinary research via an interrogation of the “Performative Languages of Emotion.” To what extent does knowledge of emotions (their specific qualities, their forms of expression, and the processes of their transmission) differ in scholarly work and in the arts? Can we identify distinct means of comprehending, rendering, and transmitting emotional expression? To what extent can an artist profit from the insights of academic research on emotions in the creation of his or her work (writing, composing, choreographing, staging, music-making, interpreting, performing, film-making, work in visual media, e.g. painting or sculpture)? Which theoretical and historical positions might guide or inspire an artist’s work? What influence does a collaboration with artists have upon the development of academic questions and the formulation of academic theory? To what extent can academics be incorporated into artistic work, and what impact could such experiences have for academic work on the emotions?
The conference will first begin to address these questions by focusing on opera and dance. Then, an emphasis on performance and other arts should open the subject of the emotions to other domains as well as interrogate at a more fundamental level the nature of the relationship between theory and praxis in various art forms and academic disciplines.
On the 10th and 11th of June, the conference is open to the public, free of charge.

REINHILD HOFFMANN’S “CALLAS-PROJECT”
Reinhild Hoffmann’s piece “Callas” (Bremen 1983) is one of the works that came to define German dance theater. In the piece, Hoffmann grappled with the myth of the great opera singer, the entry of the prima donna, the pathos and affective transport of the voice and the body/pose. In cooperation with the Center for Movement Research (Gabriele Brandstetter), the dramaturg Patricia Stöckemann, and Dance Studies students at the FU, a staging of the “Callas-Project” is planned for the summer of 2012 as a reenactment of and reflection upon a history of dance theater, the archive, and opera history.

CAN ONE REHEARSE AN EMOTION? AN ATTEMPT TO SIMULATE AN OPERA REHEARSAL
Sandra Leupold (director), Erika Roos (singer) and Pawel Poplawski (pianist) will meet for the first time in this rehearsal in order to seek out a means of accessing Elvira’s scene “Mi Tradì” from “Don Giovanni”. The basis for their work will be Sandra Leupold’s staging of Mozart’s “Don Giovanni”, which as of 2009 had been performed more than 70 times in Berlin and Heidelberg. One question posed by the staging at that time was: what do the singers do with the piece and what does the piece do with the singers? In Elvira’s “Mi Tradì”, it was a matter of testing out the gray area between a mastery of the coloratura passages and emotional overload. Were the singer to actually give herself over to the extreme pain, she would presumably render herself incapable of the technical mastery demanded by Mozart’s score. In order to render this insight, Leupold’s production introduced a third figure between the singer and the character—the singer of Elvira, let’s call her Elfi…

BAROQUE OPERA IN HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVE. DO GESTURES HAVE EMOTIONS?
Sigrid T’Hooft (director, choreographer), Mareike Braun (singer) and Pawel Poplawski (pianist) will rehearse two recitatives and two arias from Georg Friedrich Handel’s “Amadigi di Gaula” (1715) in historically informed performance practice. This session seeks to explore the theoretical and practical possibilities (as well as the pitfalls) of a historically informed practice of Baroque opera performance. Topics to be discussed include the interrelation of auditory (voice) and visual (gesture) affect potentials.

THE PATHOS COLLECTION. SIX DIALOGUES ON IMAGE – MOVEMENT – EMOTION
This installation/lecture/performance starts from a shared interest in body images of emotion and their performative potential between movement and stillness. In a dialogue between artist (performance artist Lindy Annis) and theoretician (theatre scholar Bettina Brandl-Risi), the idea of a performative/pictorial inventory of emotional bodies will be examined and explored.
This performative research, inspired by art historian Aby Warburg’s work on emotions in art and the afterlife of images, uses panels recalling Warburg’s “Mnemosyne-Tafeln” as tools, as a method of thinking, as well as a creative impulse, or performative score, to create a “Denkraum” (space of thought). In a series of miniatures, they will juxtapose, cluster and question visual methods, performative methods and language-based methods of inquiry of emotion.
Conversation and panel discussion:
- Lindy Annis (performance artist)
- Bettina Brandl-Risi, Universität Erlangen
- Lydia Goehr, Columbia University
- Christopher Morris, University College Cork
- Eike Wittrock, FU Berlin
- Isa Wortelkamp, FU Berlin
