A meeting with a woman dressed as an Orthodox Jewish man; an occasion in which a man washes, anoints, and then kisses your feet; an opportunity to watch as a naked woman cradles a dead pig; an invitation to dance with a blindfolded woman on a small patch of grass in a perspex box; an experience in which a man dressed as a Centurion reveals to you his mirrored glory hole; an interaction over a manicure that triggers questions of intimacy, presence, and decay... One-to-one performance is an encounter designed for an audience of one. The plethora of terms used to describe the ‘other’ in one-to-one performance speaks to the multifarious relationships that can exist between a performer and a solo spectator. Observer, attendant, participant, coparticipant, visitor-participant, active-participant, spectator-participant, audience-participant, passenger, punter, co-creator, audient, or viewer are just some of the words used to describe the range of modes of engagement invited, suggesting the nuanced variation – or, sometimes, the gulf between artists’ approaches and multiple possibilities offered by this constructed encounter between one and another. Despite its seemingly introspective composition, one-to-one performance can, I contend, offer a rich portal for examining the sociopolitical culture of contemporary society. This article addresses the dearth of scholarship in the field and pursues two interdependent objectives: I propose a genealogy of contemporary one-to-one work from historical roots in 1960s and 1970s avant-garde experimentation; and I identify three prominent themes – cathartic, socio-spatial, and explicit – across what might be termed the ‘golden age’ of one-to-one performance (2001–2011). The proliferation of one-to-ones in this post-Millennium period was deemed a ‘craze’ by theatre reviewer Brian Logan and a ‘trend’ by one-to-one artists Tania El Khoury and Deborah Pearson. This time of intense experimentation and burgeoning fascination with the form 1. These lines briefly describe recent one-toone performances: Oreet Ashery’s Say Cheese (2001–2003); Adrian Howells’ Foot Washing for the Sole (2008–2011); Kira O’Reilly’s Inthewrongplaceness (2009); Julie Tolentino’s A True Story About Two People (2005-); Dominic Johnson’s Mystical Glory Hole (2008); and Sam Rose’s Between One and Another: A Place of Encounter (2006–2007).

奇怪的二重唱:论一对一表演的谱系和功效

与一位打扮成正统犹太男子的女人会面;一个男人洗脚、抹油然后亲吻你的脚的场合;有机会看到一个裸体女人抱着一头死猪;邀请与一个蒙着眼睛的女人在有机玻璃盒子的一小块草地上跳舞;一个打扮成百夫长的男人向你展示他镜像的荣耀洞的体验;美甲上的互动引发了亲密、存在和腐烂的问题......一对一的表演是为一个观众设计的相遇。一对一表演中用于描述“他者”的大量术语说明了表演者和独奏观众之间可能存在的多种多样的关系。观察者、服务员、参与者、共同参与者、访客参与者、主动参与者、观众参与者、观众参与者、乘客、下注者、共同创作者、观众或观众只是用来描述所邀请参与模式范围的一些词,暗示着细微的变化——或者,有时,艺术家的方法与这种构建的相遇所提供的多种可能性之间的鸿沟一个和另一个之间。尽管其看似内省的成分,我认为一对一的表演可以提供一个丰富的门户,用于检查当代社会的社会政治文化。本文解决了该领域学术研究的缺乏,并追求两个相互依存的目标:我从 1960 年代和 1970 年代前卫实验的历史根源提出当代一对一作品的谱系;我确定了三个突出的主题——宣泄、社会空间、和明确的——跨越可能被称为一对一表演的“黄金时代”(2001-2011)。在这个后千禧年时期,一对一的激增被戏剧评论家布赖恩·洛根(Brian Logan)和一对一艺术家塔尼亚·埃尔·库里(Tania El Khoury)和黛博拉·皮尔森(Deborah Pearson)视为一种“趋势”。这一次对形式 1 进行了激烈的实验和萌芽的迷恋。这些台词简要描述了最近的一对一表演:Oreet Ashery 的 Say Cheese (2001–2003);阿德里安豪威尔斯的鞋底洗脚(2008-2011);Kira O'Reilly 的 Inthewrongplaceness (2009);朱莉·托伦蒂诺的《两个人的真实故事》(2005-);多米尼克约翰逊的神秘荣耀洞(2008);和山姆·罗斯的《人与人之间:相遇之地》(2006-2007)。在这个后千禧年时期,一对一的激增被戏剧评论家布赖恩·洛根(Brian Logan)和一对一艺术家塔尼亚·埃尔·库里(Tania El Khoury)和黛博拉·皮尔森(Deborah Pearson)视为一种“趋势”。这一次对形式 1 进行了激烈的实验和萌芽的迷恋。这些台词简要描述了最近的一对一表演:Oreet Ashery 的 Say Cheese (2001–2003);阿德里安豪威尔斯的鞋底洗脚(2008-2011);Kira O'Reilly 的 Inthewrongplaceness (2009);朱莉·托伦蒂诺的《两个人的真实故事》(2005-);多米尼克约翰逊的神秘荣耀洞(2008);和山姆·罗斯的《人与人之间:相遇之地》(2006-2007)。在这个后千禧年时期,一对一的激增被戏剧评论家布赖恩·洛根(Brian Logan)和一对一艺术家塔尼亚·埃尔·库里(Tania El Khoury)和黛博拉·皮尔森(Deborah Pearson)视为一种“趋势”。这一次对形式 1 进行了激烈的实验和萌芽的迷恋。这些台词简要描述了最近的一对一表演:Oreet Ashery 的 Say Cheese (2001–2003);阿德里安豪威尔斯的鞋底洗脚(2008-2011);Kira O'Reilly 的 Inthewrongplaceness (2009);朱莉·托伦蒂诺的《两个人的真实故事》(2005-);多米尼克约翰逊的神秘荣耀洞(2008);和山姆·罗斯的《人与人之间:相遇之地》(2006-2007)。这些台词简要描述了最近的一对一表演:Oreet Ashery 的 Say Cheese (2001–2003);阿德里安豪威尔斯的鞋底洗脚(2008-2011);Kira O'Reilly 的 Inthewrongplaceness (2009);朱莉·托伦蒂诺的《两个人的真实故事》(2005-);多米尼克约翰逊的神秘荣耀洞(2008);和山姆·罗斯的《人与人之间:相遇之地》(2006-2007)。这些台词简要描述了最近的一对一表演:Oreet Ashery 的 Say Cheese (2001–2003);阿德里安豪威尔斯的鞋底洗脚(2008-2011);Kira O'Reilly 的 Inthewrongplaceness (2009);朱莉·托伦蒂诺的《两个人的真实故事》(2005-);多米尼克约翰逊的神秘荣耀洞(2008);和山姆·罗斯的《人与人之间:相遇之地》(2006-2007)。
