I have a new essay in a special issue of TDR on “Performance, Possession, and Automation.” It’s the first of a few articles I have coming out on raw material and art, which I’m hoping will become a book someday. DM me if you want the pdf. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

The UK’s Theatre and Performance Research Association (TaPRA) passed a BDS resolution today. 📣

It took an amazing group a lot work, but the vote was overwhelmingly in favour.

Tickets now available for Shane Boyle (@shaneboyle.bsky.social)'s presentation "Marxism and Theatre Ecology: The Metabolic Performances of Otobong Nkanga and Zina Saro-Wiwa", 26 March 6PM: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shane-boyl...
Poster for Quorum with the Queen Mary University of London logo and a teal and white marble accent bar on the right hand side of the page. It reads: "Shane Boyle, Marxism and Theatre Ecology: The Metabolic Performances of Otobong Nkanga and Zina Saro-Wiwa. This talk looks to demonstrate the usefulness of Marxist ecological thought for performance studies by examining several recent works by Otobong Nkanga and Zina Saro-Wiwa that engage with the colonial histories of resource extraction in West and Southwest Africa. These performances—staged atop abandoned mines and oil pipelines—give aesthetic form to what Marx called the “metabolic rift” between humanity and nature. 26 March, 6PM, Rehearsal Room 2, ArtsOne, Mile End Rd, E1 4PA, London." Poster for Quorum with the Queen Mary University of London logo and a teal and white marble accent bar on the right hand side of the page.

His books include The Arts of Logistics: Artistic Production in Supply Chain Capitalism (Stanford 2024) and the co-edited collection Postdramatic Theatre and Form (Methuen Bloomsbury 2019).

Shane Boyle on surrealism and anti-fascism:

‘No painting in solidarity with Palestine has been torn down in a German gallery – at least not so dramatically.’

question for people who know the antideutsche better than I do—is Tocotronic an antideutsch band or are they just run-of-the-mill German liberals at home with taz and Texte zur Kunst?

Christmas plays an important role in German tradition. Some cities even honor it by erecting bronze statues of Santa Claus.
A bronze statue of a man with a beard and a flowing hair. His hand is in his jacket. He knows who has been nice and who was not. He is here to seize the means of production.
