• In the book From Acting to performance: Essays in Modernism and postmodernism, Chapter 4 Task and Vision Phillip Auslander says about The Wooster Group “Their style of performing, which at once evokes and critiques conventional acting could be described as performance “about” acting.”
• This is a factor in making The Wooster group a postmodernist theatre company.
• Caryl Churchill can also be seen to be making a critique of conventional theatre.
• The status quo scene of Hearts Desire is naturalistic.
• The glitches introduced in this come to represent the postmodernist ‘critic’ of naturalism as the performative norm.
• Our performance should hold the same postmodern values.
• As such my performance should represent this too.
