The Theatre Historiography Working Group within IFTR/FIRT has developed a diverse and often challenging scholarship on the history of theatre (broadly defined) in the last two decades. Moreover, the essays and books published by members of the group in several languages have contributed to major transformations in the methods and topics of performance history. The working group, besides serving as a transnational community for historical scholarship, has also contributed to revisionist methods in the teaching of theatre history in dozens of countries, particularly during the last decade.

The author looks into the dynamics of changes initiated in Slovenia by the rhizomatous fusion of arts and media during the 1960s that paved the way for performance art. The study describes the strategies used by marginal art and subcultural social practices to penetrate the field of dominant culture and outlines the avant-garde path of the Slovenian performing arts, which had until recently been thought to have been interrupted during the “leaden”1970s due to tight ideological control.

This paper thematizes the performer vis-a-vis the actor, dancer, and performing artist and attempts to define the theoretical framework for his activity. In so doing, it refers to the aesthetics of the performative of Erika Fischer-Lichte, and critically complements it. The theoretical underpinnings of the paper are applied to the performances Q&A: Very Private, Very Public and The Measures Taken and the appearances of Jana Menger and Katja Legin, respectively, in them.
