This article presents arts-based action research on enhancing children’s creativity through affect within participatory performance art and performance pedagogy. The study hypothesis was that children’s creativity can be enhanced by affect experienced at a performance site. The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of children’s involvement in artistic performance on their creativity at a performance site. The impact of interactions at the site, the co-participating children,and the involved artists were monitored on a daily basis to collect qualitative data, which were analyzed using a general inductive approach. Objective themes relating to the variables were retrieved from the collected data and assigned codes, concepts, and keywords extracted from photographs,video recordings, and observation notes. The case under investigation was the “Nomadic Radical Academy 2020: The Good, the Bad, and the Art”, which built on a pilot event held in 2019. This research concluded that performance art can have a social and creative impact during an art event through children’s participation and can be used by performance artists and educators.

Ao considerar a escrita teatral como ponto nevrálgico do teatro contemporâneo, esse artigo propõe trabalhar com a ideia de uma ligação contínua presente entre a escrita confessional e a encenação na obra “Yo no soy bonita” de Angélica Liddell. Acredita-se que o espetáculo e a língua da autora, encenadora e atriz/performer tornam-se diluídas no próprio acontecimento teatral, em que a ideia de um “devir-cênico” estabelece-se como um dispositivo cênico das novas teatralidades. Analisa-se como a noção de “eu” da artista se mescla ao desfalecimento da ideia de um personagem, criando uma zona de fronteiriça entre o teatro e a performance art, a qual se evidencia pela busca de uma possível experiência-limite da artista. ABSTRACT When considering the theatrical writing as nerve center of contemporary theater, this article proposes working with the idea of a continuous link between the present confessional writing and staging the Angélica Liddell work "Yo no soy bonita". It is believed that the show and the language of the author, stage director and actress / performer become diluted in their own theatrical event, in which the idea of "becoming-scenic" is established as a scenic device of new theatrics. It is analyzed how the notion of "I" of the artist melds the faintness of the idea of a character, creating a border zone between theater and performance art, which is evidenced by the search for a possible artist of limit-experience. KEYWORDS Becoming- scenic; confessional writing; limit-experience; contemporary theater.

Investigating German performance art of the early 1960s, one is immediately confronted with photographs, films, and other documents of two specific events: the so-called Festival der Neuen Kunst, which took place in 1964 at the Technische Hochschule Aachen (TH), and a happening entitled 24 Stunden, realized the following year at Galerie Parnass in Wuppertal. Both events were conceived for the duration of a few hours and included various performances of multinational Fluxus and performance artists like Joseph Beuys, Wolf Vostell, Nam June Paik, Charlotte Moorman, Robert Filliou, Tomas Schmit, and Stanley Brouwn. In Aachen, as well as in Wuppertal, the performance program was based on the principle of simultaneity, so that the public had to switch between different performances and diverse rooms, and no one was able to view the complete program. As proven by numerous photographs, films, and press reviews, both events were attended by several photographers and filmmakers documenting the happenings.

Art as a social action in the public space is becoming more popular in various forms, especially in the digital space, and especially after the recent events that have had an effect on the whole world. However, theatre as art is changing its forms of accessibility not only due to global events but also due to the changing society from various aspects, i.e., psychological, social, economic, political, etc. The article provides a comparative analysis of the concepts of social art actions and performance art, presents the features of social art actions organisation in performance art organisations in Lithuania and abroad, determines the impact of social art action on human health from the psychosocial and spiritual point of view as well as in a community; it also provides a discussion of similarities and differences of performance as not only theatre but also performance art and social art, social art actions as performance art. Moreover, the article analyses how performance is compared to social art performance, how spectator and participant audiences manifest, what inclusion of performance art as a social art action into human spiritual-psychological space provides. The article provides an analysis of how performance art cooperates with performance art organisations.

Abstract Background Investigations of foot strike patterns during overground distance running have foci on prevalence, performance and change in foot strike pattern with increased distance. To date, synthesised analyses of these findings are scarce. Objective The key objectives of this review were to quantify the prevalence of foot strike patterns, assess the impact of increased running distance on foot strike pattern change and investigate the potential impact of foot strike pattern on performance. Methods Relevant peer-reviewed literature was obtained by searching EBSCOhost CINAHL, Ovid Medline, EMBASE and SPORTDiscus (inception-2021) for studies investigating foot strike patterns in overground distance running settings (> 10 km). Random effects meta-analyses of prevalence data were performed where possible. Results The initial search identified 2210 unique articles. After removal of duplicates and excluded articles, 12 articles were included in the review. Meta-analysis of prevalence data revealed that 79% of long-distance overground runners rearfoot strike early, with prevalence rising to 86% with increased distance. In total, 11% of runners changed foot strike pattern with increased distance and of those, the vast majority (84%) do so in one direction, being non-rearfoot strike to rearfoot strike. Analysis of the relationship between foot strike pattern and performance revealed that 5 studies reported a performance benefit to non-rearfoot strike, 1 study reported a performance benefit to non-rearfoot strike in women but not men, 4 studies reported no benefit to non-rearfoot strike or rearfoot strike, and no studies reported a performance benefit of rearfoot strike over non-rearfoot strike. Conclusion Most overground distance runners rearfoot strike early, and the prevalence of this pattern increases with distance. Of those that do change foot strike pattern, the majority transition from non-rearfoot to rearfoot. The current literature provides inconclusive evidence of a competitive advantage being associated with long-distance runners who use a non-rearfoot strike pattern in favour of a rearfoot strike pattern.

A common thread noted in many academic management system implementations was the stagnation and deterioration of their usage after the initial hype. This action research study was aimed at addressing this decline in a higher education institute after undertaking a reflective analysis of the waning usage patterns and taking appropriate initiatives to enhance their usage. The authors have attempted this as participants driving the change. As change agents, the academic management system implementation was advanced to move closer to a stage where the committed use occurred and intended benefits were realised. Several initiatives were introduced to propel this change. The scope of this article was confined to gauging the impact of the trigger factors; memos, and training on the academic management system usage. Their effects were measured by applying learning analytics to various sources of usage and performance data. This further led to analysing the relationship between usage and performance of the stakeholders; students, and faculty.

The impact of different irrigation regimes to Cornus sericea L. ‘Isanti’, Hydrangea arborescens L. ‘Annabelle,’ Physocarpus opulifolius (L.) Maxim. ‘Monlo’, and Salix purpurea L. ‘Nana’ were assessed. Irrigation treatments were based on percentages of evapotranspiration (ETo). Poa pratensis L. was used as a control. The shrubs were tested by being field grown (FG) and in a lysimeter using a pot in pot system (LYS). The FG shrubs had four treatments (0, 25, 50, or 100%) and the LYS shrubs had three treatments (25, 50, or 100%). Data collection included height/width, predawn leaf water potential, leaf and shoot fresh/dry weights, turf IR temperatures, soil moisture, and osmolality. As watering amounts increased for the FG Cornus, Physocarpus, and Salix, various characteristics (water potential, size, osmolality) were also positively affected. However, these three species in the 0% treatment appeared acceptable for landscape use as well. The water potential data suggest that FG Hydrangea needs more than 100% to improve growth and performance. The LYS Cornus and LYS Hydrangea adjusted their growth habits based on water availability. The LYS shrubs used water on a daily basis faster as irrigation treatments increased. Increased water use affected LYS shrub growth and more water resulted in larger shrubs.

Articulando práticas artísticas e urbanísticas ao trabalho de autoras dos campos da dança, filosofia, performance e urbanismo, o artigo tem como ponto de partida revisar a colocação de Hannah Arendt (2007) e André Lepecki (2012) de que a arquitetura (o fazer cidade) é fundamentalmente anterior à política (agir cidade). A revisão parte de uma experiência que vivi em TECIDO-NÃO-TECIDO (2018), performance realizada na Barra da Tijuca. O contraponto que a performance traz é matéria para expandir as noções de política e arquitetura — reforçando que agir cidade é, de fato, fazê-la. Ao pensar arquitetura e urbanismo enquanto “políticas do chão” (CARTER, 1996), o texto termina com um breve ensaio sobre a palavra programa, comum aos campos da arquitetura e da performance, e propõe uma espécie de urbanismo imanente e do chão, cujo operador é o “programa performativo” (FABIÃO, 2013), enunciado conciso de performances, de modo a subverter a frequente determinação de usos em arquitetura e urbanismo via programas funcionais. Palavras-chave: Performance; Cidade; Arquitetura e Urbanismo; Programa performativo; Chão. ABSTRACT By articulating artistic and urbanistic practices with the work of authors from the fields of dance, philosophy, performance, and urbanism, the article’s starting point is to review Hannah Arendt’s (2007) and André Lepecki’s (2012) statement that architecture (to make the city) is fundamentally prior to politics (to act the city). This review is based on an experience I have lived in TECIDO-NÃO-TECIDO (2018), a performance art piece held in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. The counterpoint that this performance brings is used as a material to expand the notions of politics and architecture — reinforcing that acting the city is, in fact, making it. Thinking about architecture and urbanism as “ground politics” (CARTER, 1996), the text ends with a brief essay on the word program, common to the fields of architecture and performance art, and proposes a kind of immanent and ground urbanism, whose operator is the “performative program” (FABIÃO, 2013) — subverting the frequent determination of uses in architecture and urbanism via functional programs. Keywords: Performance; City; Architecture and Urbanism; Performative program; Ground.

The paper provides new survey evidence on effects of concentrated ownership upon investment and performance in Russian industrial enterprises. Authors trace major changes in their ownership profile, assess pace of post-privatization redistribution of shareholdings and provide evidence on ownership concentration in the Russian industry. The major econometric findings are that the first largest shareholding is negatively associated with the firm’s investment and performance but surprisingly the second largest shareholding is positively associated with them. Moreover, these relationships do not depend on identity of majority shareholders. These results are consistent with the assumption that the entrenched controlling owners are engaged in extracting "control premium" but sizable shareholdings accumulated by other blockholders may put brakes on their expropriating behavior and thus be conductive for efficiency enhancing. The most interesting topic for further more detailed analysis is formation, stability and roles of coalitions of large blockholders in the corporate sector of post-socialist countries.

Starting with Antonin Artaud's radio play To Have Done With The Judgement Of God, this article analyses the ways in which Artaud's idea of the body without organs links up with various of his writings on the body and bodily theatre and with Deleuze and Guattari's later development of his ideas. Using Klossowski (or Klossowski's Nietzsche) to explain how the dominance of dialogue equals the dominance of God, I go on to examine how the Son (the facialised body), the Father (Language) and the Holy Spirit (Subjectification), need to be warded off in order to revitalize the body, reuniting it with ‘the earth’ it has been separated from. Artaud's writings on Balinese dancing and the Tarahumaran people pave the way for the new body to appear. Reconstructing the body through bodily practices, through religion and above all through art, as Deleuze and Guattari suggest, we are introduced not only to new ways of thinking theatre and performance art, but to life itself.
