This one-day conference, held in conjunction with Nineteenth Century Theatre and Film, will explore the connections between art, theatre, and visual culture in the nineteenth century. During this period, the art of seeing challenged the traditional dominance of the written word. Vision, previously denigrated as deceptive, became considered as a universal language, accessible to all, and more authentic than text. Popular theatre, especially melodrama, led the way in exploring the possibilities of the new visuality. We invite papers that explore the visual culture of theatre and exchanges between theatre and the visual arts. We are particularly interested in contributions which explore the following topics:
Theatre as visual culture
The relationship between word and image
Theatrical illustration
Theatrical portraiture
Audiences and reception of art/theatre/visual culture
Posters/playbills
Visual technology: panoramas; dioramas; phantasmagorias; magic lanterns
Stage spectacle: set design, scene painting, lighting, special effects, costume
Stage pictorialism/stage tableaux/realization
Local colour
Illusion
Authenticity
Theatricality
Attitude and gesture
Theatre architecture
Caricature
Narrative/temporality
History as spectacle
Saturday 11th February 2012, 10am to 6pm
