spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/7700 Recommencing reality : the intersection of public and private identity in performative contexts Youngleson, Penelope Theatre and Performance Includes bibliographical references (leaves 66-69). This paper explores the convergence and cusp of colliding realities in private and public identities in performative contexts. It draws heavily on a Socio-Anthropological system of the self and fictive personas within these constructs - as well as the perscnlpersonalpersonality trichotomy inherent in self~presentation and preservation. It is written in subservience and supplication to the practical component of the University of Cape Town's MA in Theatre and Performance (Theatre Making) which is also documented and archived with supplementary photographs as part of the research. The paper addresses notions of collective identity (such as gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, socio-economic and socio-political group clusters) with a peripheral focus on the South African, middle-class, Caucasian identity and a particular focus on a female, hetero-normative orientation (as it forms the premise of many concerns presented in the practice of the inquiry: the artist as still iife, the subject as object). It suggests a methodology towards aligning the research and its actualisation in performance through a series of installation-based works presented on and around Hiddingh Campus, Cape Town between May 2008 and September 2009. At the time of publication, the culminating project of the degree was in its pre-production phase. 2014-09-26T07:19:27Z 2014-09-26T07:19:27Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/7700 eng application/pdf Department of Drama Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
