The theatrical aesthetic of John Cage Ozier, Joyce Ruth
Abstract
The topic of this thesis is an analysis of John Cage's aesthetic from a theatrical point of view. I have done this by examining his performed works and his theoretical writings. A short biographical chapter is included in order that the reader may become aware of certain influences and events which have affected his basic ideas. In addition, two short chapters- one on Happenings and another on the Living Theatre- are included as specific examples of theatrical applications of his aesthetic. It is concluded that Cage's ideas have influenced the general development of recent theatrical experimentation.
