'A personal performance manifesto based on the 21st century\r'

'A pronunciamento is a document that setks to pass certain in createation close to a certain issue as viewed by both(prenominal)body.  Personal carrying into action Manifestos as such, ar so documents that consists of an Individual’s views, ab appear how an artiste presentations should be created and presented. public presentation Manifesto history  can be traced back to the untimely 1910’s when groups of artists  which include futurists, Dadaists and the likes, go ford them  to express their views on what art really  was and what it encompassed.There after doing manifesto squander been re ongoingly used with main embassies associated to venturous Modernism.  Thus rise in the use of face-to-face executing manifesto can be in addition associated to the emergence of internet technology which has created a potential difference world wide hearing.According to Tristan Tzara (A pastal artist), A performance manifesto is like a communicati on do to the whole world, whose main pretension is on the husking of an instant cure for political, social, astronomical, economical artiste and literary syphilis. (Lee  Scivner ).  Performance of artiste presentations since their start hundreds of long time back has underg maven a serial of transformation.This has been occasioned by things like, changing level of technology and preferences of slew among m whatsoever other reasons.  Performance of hundred years back is very distinguishable with modern- squiffy solar day performances in m either(prenominal) aspects ranging from the styles, genres among many other aspects.However, these converts atomic number 18 non enough to satisfy the conducts of the modern auberge.  worse still the rapid change have caused some other valuable aspects which were common in historical performances to be ignored. Due to the in a higher place two reasons personalised performance manifestos have been on the increase especi ally from critics and friends of theatre.A keen scrutinization of majority of this performance manifesto shows a uniform, a similar and a common argument, that the modern society is becoming more informed day by day and hence postulate retirement and competency in general theatric performance.To begin, it would be mediocre to say that the contemporary society is dying to see a performance that is socio-political, economic, and erotical, mystical, that does not just define pile amused for exchange of their hard-earned cash.The contemporary society needs performances that grows up not knowing it is performance at all, a performance give outn the dislodge of having a string point of zero.(Harron, C. and Wood, P (2006) art in Theory, 1900 †2000 an anthology of changing ideas. 2 ed. USA Blackwell Publishing).The in a higher place things can scarce be achieved by doing remote with bourgeois sickness, commercialized culture, lap up of dead performance, imitation, colored performance, Abstract performance, illusionist performance and Mathematical performances.  social club addition all people including both materially and virtuously (Fluxes manifestation by George Meckonaz †1963).Once more contemporary society is desperate for performance that entrust integrate many cultures of the world.  We are living in a world full of socio-political and economic injustices and therefore any avenue which seeks to maneuver us away from these injustices is super welcomed.In many instances performances have been staged with the main calculate of addressing these injustices but sincerely speaking it has not been enough.  and then there is a great need form performance which will integrate the diverse cultures in view of addressing the above injustices which in most cases are brought about by cultural differences.Art, medicament and verse line the three mean genres of performance need to be fully recognized by the relevant authorities.  It is only by due recognizers that the quality of performance will be improved. This is because potential and practicing performances will start pickings their work seriously and therefore give a performance which is in line with 21st deoxycytidine monophosphate performance expectations.  The relevant authorities have included Ministries in charge of social affairs and governments.The above views and opinions about the fate of performance in think of to 21st century expectations do not mean the state of performance as of now are pathetic.  This is only an eye opener to the stakeholders in the performance manufacturing so that they can pull up their socks and live to the standards of the changing world.As a matter of occurrence contemporary performance can be utter to be among the very many sectors which have strugg direct to layover in level with changes of time and technology.  It is not a surprise therefore new styles of performance have sprouted all over.For instance in Music new styles have come up with the in style(p) being hi-hop music.  Contemporary artists (sculptors, painters) Writers, Poets are also doing a commendable job but t is irresponsible that they put more efforts in their work to amaze in level with the 21st Century demands.Another firmament sensitive to performance industry is production of elegant works.  This is where contemporary performance is failing as compared to historic performances.  With emerging technology it is obvious production of artists work is done with care and without any problems arising, but it is drear to not that unscrupulous  pirates are making use of improvement in technology to come up with illegal publications of these artistic works without the consent of the artists producer.This needs to be done away with once and for all, so as to let the real beneficiaries of royalties coming from the barter of their music.This manifesto also covers the improvement of performance instruments a nd equipments as another key method of taking performances in general to a higher level in relation to 21st Century.  Most of artistic performances take in the accompaniment of instruments. As such, therefore latest instruments and equipments need to be invented and pt into constant use.  Many are time when potential performers are limited to the alternative of producing their items.  This is sometimes due to lack of enough cash to access the equipments.There is dire need also to change the mode of presentation of performances..  A new mode or language of presentation should be introduced so as to help save the audience of the frequent common place methods of performance presentation.Lastly it is important that the actors and the audience collaborates and share ideas as to what really needs to be addressed in the contemporary performances.  This will modify actors and artists to come up with only those performances that are morally upright and help the contempora ry society in solving mysteries of nature.This manifesto is not in any way exhaustive as to what needs to be done or not in contemporary performances to meet the 21st century demands.  Therefore the above listed views and opinions may be challenged but of importance to stigmatize is that they were arrived at after a careful scrutization of the current and historical performance trends.  They are practically contingent to implement and therefore result driven.A Critical observation of the above Personal Performance ManifestoOnce again it is in order to note that the writing of Manifestos is not a practice which has started just the other day as explained above.Manifesto writing has been with us over the last one hundred years.  Critics and artists write manifestos so as to pass on a message of dissatisfaction of a previous(prenominal) practice and therefore put forth a correctional course of action.  In relation to the above manifesto for the 21st century it is cryst al clear that the previous practices employed in performance industry needs to be overhauled if the 21st century demands and expectations are to be realized.The manifestos recommendations are therefore not in any way hol pathetic, they are commonplace…. Yes but greatly serves to put the level of performances in the right route towards the 21st century expectations.The Manifesto talked of performances that are in themselves informing.  It is just sad to note that even at once people overcompensate staging performances which are substandard despite many efforts by other people who are determined to take performance industry a level higher.This point seeks to bring out the difference between what contemporary performance should give its audience as compared to the historical performances when things were very different from what they are today.In respect to Karen Finley who is currently based in New York, performance need also to take a different dimension if they will cont inue being used as a apparatus for informing, educating and also entertaining.Karen has pushed beyond the boundaries of normal practices and natural acts and as a result her works have drawn a lot of attention.Although this much attention led her in to waling along the corridors of justice following low suits filed against her work by politicians it is a nice beak of work for the 21st century.\r\n'
