Part II:
Scene Studies
Elfriede Jelinek: A Study of the Postdramatic
Playwriting Directing and Acting
Program
Scene Study One
Forces beyond our control collide in a musical disaster for the ages. Fun for the whole family.
Experimenting with Elfriede Jelinek’s play The Charges
Performers: Mátyás Endrey and Gracie Kuppenbender
Director: Dani Wilder
Scene Study Two
Internationally known and intergenerationally recognized, Jackie Kennedy Onassis has been an indispensable component of the American myth since the 1950s. She is simultaneously an example of perfect, stylized femininity and a symbol of feminine grief. Through Elfriede Jelinek's play, "Jackie", we explore Jackie's role in her own myth-making. What skill does it take to turn life into legend? What if we were to judge Jackie, not as a victim of the confines of public femininity, but as a master of her craft? What is at stake in the performance of the King's royal body?
Experimenting with Elfriede Jelinek’s play Jackie
Performer: Fiona French
Director: Ava Simonds
Scene Study Three
Playing with the maze of Elfriede Jelinek's language, this scene is a collage of images, bodies, ideas, echoes, thinking thinkers, shadows, things unsaid and unsayable – a mass of text, a mass of people, a mass held at a church unknown.

Performers: Gracie Kuppenbender, Fiona French, Dani Wilder, Hannah Scharmer, Maria Jose Sarmiento Isaac
