Learning objectives

The course aims to provide a basic knowledge of the main artistic techniques and their restoration methodologies; the students will also acquire skills for analysis of the conservative state of works of art.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Basic knowledge of the history of western theatre (United States and Europe) of the second half of the Twentieth century. Students who have not already taken an exam in theatre history are advised to read chapters 1-3 of the volume by M. De Marinis, 'Il Nuovo Teatro', Bompiani, Milan 1987.

Program

The collaboration between theatre and media in the diffusion of the American Avant-garde (1958-1983).
The class will focus on the history of experimental theatre in New York City, with a particular focus on collaborations with artists working in the fields of visual arts, music and cinema. It will be illustrated how the underground theatre circuit has made use of the support of equally alternative communication channels - mimeos, independent newspapers and experimental cinema - through the introduction of the most influential groups and theatres, since the early years.
In the second part of the course, some exemplifying cases of the theater-media relationship in the Avant-garde period will be analysed.
