    Theatre of ordeal
    (2022-05-06) Steele, Michael William; Lynn, Kirk; Sanchez, KJ; Bassiakou Shaw, Alexandra
    In this thesis, I define the Theatre of Ordeal and detail approaches, methods, and tools I have utilized in the creation of theatrical works belonging to it. Theatre of Ordeal is a carefully constructed performance situation which must be negotiated by the viewer. Instead of meaning delivered through content, the patron derives meaning firsthand through a series of decisions (mental, physical, or spiritual). In support, I examine several projects I worked on during my time as a graduate student at UT Austin. These include two devised pieces (And Away We Stared and Home Edition) and three plays I directed (Lear by Young Jean Lee, OCD by Hee-Won Kim, and Love and Information by Caryl Churchill).
