SUMMARY:Affecting Asianness and the Art of Restraint on American Stages
DESCRIPTION:by Dr. Amy Huang (Bates College) \nAdditional Content\n \nThe School of English cordially invites you to attend the following seminar offered by Dr. Amy Huang: \nAffecting Asianness and the Art of Restraint on American Stages \nDr. Amy Huang\, Bates College \nJune 6\, 2024\, Thursday\, 4:30 p.m. \nRoom 7.45\, 7/F\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, The University of Hong Kong \n  \nAbstract\nBeginning in the late nineteenth century\, the performance of Asian stoicism and inscrutability on American stages engaged with questions about immigration and abjection while expanding the theatre’s capacities for expressing and constraining feelings. This talk traces how the representations of Asian reserve and restraint in Chester Bailey Fernald’s The Cat and the Cherub (1897) and David Henry Hwang’s The Dance and the Railroad (1981) worked to shape an intimate spectatorship attuned to psychic depth through the performance of emotional restraint. \n  \nBiography\nAmy B. Huang is an Assistant Professor of Theater and Performance Studies at Bates College. Her book project\, Circuits of Secrets on British and American Stages\, focuses on how theatre’s secrecy engages with the power relations and racist imaginaries attached to slavery\, settler colonialism\, Orientalism\, and Chinese exclusion. Her recent research focuses on early Asian American and diasporic theatre artists’ conceptions of temporality and history. Her work has appeared in Theatre Survey\, Eighteenth-Century Studies\, and Milestones in Asian American Theatre. Her research has been inspired and supported by the Library Company of Philadelphia\, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania\, the Harrison Institute at the University of Virginia\, the Newberry Library\, and Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library.

SUMMARY:Irresistible Influences: Herbert Beerbohm Tree and the Mesmerizing Trilby
DESCRIPTION:by Dr. Isabel Stowell-Kaplan (The University of Bristol) \nAdditional Content\n \nThe School of English cordially invites you to attend the following seminar offered by Dr. Isabel Stowell-Kaplan: \nIrresistible Influences: Herbert Beerbohm Tree and the Mesmerizing Trilby \nDr. Isabel Stowell-Kaplan\, The University of Bristol \nJune 7\, 2024\, Friday\, 4:30 p.m. \nRoom 7.45\, 7/F\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, The University of Hong Kong \n  \nAbstract\nWhen the glittering actor-manager Herbert Beerbohm Tree set George Du Maurier’s bestselling novel on the stage in 1895\, he gave himself the starring role. Cast as Svengali\, the malignant hypnotist-musician\, Tree focused in one performance the fin-de-siècle fascination with influence. Beerbohm Tree’s magnetic performance as the aesthete and the Jew crystallized anxieties circulating about undue influence understood as threats not only to the individual Englishman but to the national culture and character. Svengali’s own successful and hypnotic performance was in fact the dark inverse of Tree’s radiating cultural influence. Tree’s own standing – he would go on to open his own theatre just two years later and was knighted in 1909 – symbolized the apotheosis of English cultural achievement and global influence. At the very same time\, Tree remained the susceptible actor who could transform himself all too easily into the so-called alien influencer. In this talk\, I will examine the at once intersecting and divergent iterations of influence contained within the dazzling performance and affecting figure of Tree himself as well as the ways in which theatre played a unique role in helping to shape the significance of influence at the turn of the century. \n  \nBiography\nDr Isabel Stowell-Kaplan is a scholar of nineteenth and early twentieth-century British and American theatre with a further expertise in contemporary theatre and performance art. She has just completed a Horizon 2020 EU Marie Curie Research Fellowship in the Department of Theatre at the University of Bristol. Her first book\, Staging Detection\, from Hawkshaw to Holmes\, was published with Routledge in 2021 and her work has appeared in numerous scholarly journals including Performance Research\, TDR: The Drama Review\, Nineteenth Century Theatre and Film and SHAW. Her current book project\, Presence: Theatre of Influence in the Fin-de-Siècle examines the theatre world’s fascination with “influence” in the late nineteenth century.
