삼각연극의 창시자 메레디즈 몽크의 실험성

Meredith Monk has tried to purify contaminated modem society with her magical, theatrical techniques of performing arts. She negated the conventional concept of traditional Western theatre or dance, instead sought to find her own theatrical languages, isolating herself from the main stream of post-modem dance, centering around the movement of the Judson Dance Theatre. By doing so, she gained a freedom to use any theatrical elements, including everyday objects or technological equipment.<BR> Applying non-verbal acting like gesture, mime, vocal sound and everyday activity to her works, she destroyed the boundary of theatre and dance and created her works, and unique techniques for performing arts.<BR> She extended the concept of theatre space to that of everyday life, and in many her works considered the spectators as an important theatrical element which could change the environment of performances.<BR> Spectators participated in a sense of community as a part of the performance when they were carried by a bus from one performance place to another, followed from scene to scene, or moved freely around a performing area to see events.<BR> By contrasting the opposite worlds of reality and fiction, Monk created a surrealistic atmosphere in her works, wakening the spectators to hidden, unconscious aspects of existence.
