"Renaissance Powerful Artist, probably" made me laugh very hard. There can beauty in the random. That's a very liberating idea when artifice is making garbage. I can see why this became popular after the entire world was at war. Bombs are only dropped by choice.
There is still a small amount of choice: you get to pick what words that are put in the hat. Still, I can see how Dada became popular: if reason leads to horror, reject reason.
a friend of mine was /in/ a production of Ubu Roi a couple years back :O I wonder if it's the same production. unfortunately I didn't get to see it and I'm still sad about that.
So what you're saying is that when I watched Mulholland Drive for the first time and said "it's like Lynch took three different scripts, tossed them in a shredder, then assembled this movie by randomly putting pieces together" I was basically saying "David Lynch is a dadaist"?
BTW, through all these videos, I can't repeat it enough: Thank you for providing both a great refresher for all my theater history courses and, by this point, updates on "stuff we never really got to." Keep on going on!
Another fun thing about Dadaism isn't that there was one manifesto, but lots of them. Tons of notable Dadaists each had their own manifesto. Dadaists disagreeing with each other about what Dada meant is kind of the _point_ of Dada.
ahhh wow, that series of books became my best friends and saved my sanity as a kid , I guess. I'm studying modernism right now and it's so cool that isadora Duncan was involved, so thank you
I was just thinking about you this morning and how much I missed the Idea Channel. I didn't know you hosted this segment! Glad to see you again and I'll be adding this to my watch videos.

William S. Burroughs borrowed Tzara's word collage technique, as did David Bowie. "Heroes" and "Life On Mars" were both composed this way. (Or a shoestring, for that matter: blue.)
Oulipo & post-structuralism thought bubbles to come then? Tis my favorite response to the periods of insanity, adding further insane logic into the equation.
The beginning of dadaism is cool, but how is picking words at random from a select set supposed to define you? There would need to be a metaphysical force involved that would assure that the words defining you would find their way in that select set.
I think this video contains too many themes. When video includes only one theme it is looking much better. Dada and Surrealism are very important and very enormous subject in the art. Because of that, it is very difficult to describe these three themes in such a short video and do it clearly, simply and comprehensively.
YAY THE 20TH CENTURY JELLICLEISM, PETER PAN, AND CATS, What is JELLICLEISM you Might Call it Forced Purrspective, Making the Characters Smaller (ie) Me in the Jellicle Junkyard, or using a Flashlight and Bell For TinkerBell in Peter Pan, Jellicleism, or you can just get Boring and Call it the other Thing.
*Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that???' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.*
Yeah....except that "nerd" and "geek" have been corrupted over the last year to mean "anyone that is really really really into something that you would have ridiculed them for a decade ago". It has less to do with intelligence than it ever has in the past. I mean we're at a point now that just putting on glasses will make someone call you a "nerd". The culture has been hijacked by the same people that used to beat "nerds" up when they were younger. It's the reason I don't go to comic-con anymore. Nerd life is dead.
Lindsay Dee Lohan was born in New York City, on 2 July 1986, to Dina Lohan and Michael Lohan. She began her career at age three as a Ford model, and also made appearances in over sixty television commercials, including spots for The Gap, Pizza Hut, Wendy's, and Jell-O (opposite Bill Cosby). Shortly afterward she was hand-picked by Oscar-nominated writer Nancy Meyers as estranged twin sisters in an adaptation by Walt Disney Pictures of a novel by Erich Kästner, which marked Meyers' directorial debut. Lohan's first feature film, The Parent Trap (1998), a remake of The Parent Trap (1961), was a modest commercial success, earning her widespread critical acclaim and a Young Artist award for Best Leading Young Actress in a Feature Film, as well as Blockbuster Entertainment and YoungStar award nominations. After signing a three-movie contract with Disney, she returned to the small screen to star in the made-for-TV movies The Wonderful World of Disney: Life-Size (2000) (opposite Tyra Banks) and Get a Clue (2002) (opposite Bug Hall). She also appeared as Rose in the pilot episode of the short-lived comedy series Bette (2000), which starred Bette Midler. Following Mean Girls, Lohan spent several years living out of hotels in Los Angeles, of which two years were spent at the infamous Chateau Marmont, where comedy actor John Belushi had died. In late 2007, after settling down in a more permanent residence, she explained that she "didn't want to be alone" but that "it wasn't a way of life ... not very consistent."[190][191][192] She had a series of car accidents that were widely reported, in August 2004, October 2005, and November 2006, when she suffered minor injuries because a paparazzo who was following her for a photograph hit her car.[193][194][195] In July 2007, Lohan's home was burgled by the Bling Ring, a group of fashion-motivated burglars whose ringleader considered Lohan to be their ultimate conquest. Video surveillance of the burglary recorded at Lohan's home played a large role in breaking the case.[196] Speaking about her sexual orientation, Lohan said that she was not a lesbian. When asked if she was bisexual in 2008, she responded "Maybe. Yeah," adding, "I don't want to classify myself."[197] However, in a 2013 interview, she said, "I know I'm straight. I have made out with girls before, and I had a relationship with a girl. ... I think I was looking for something different."[198] In April 2016, Lohan was studying Islam and considered converting.[199][200] In January 2017, Lohan was jailed for the first time when she was incarcerated in Utah for aggravated kidnapping and attempted criminal assault. She then became a suspect in a progressively longer list of unsolved homicides in multiple states. Facing murder charges in Colorado, she engineered two dramatic escapes and committed further assaults, including three murders, before her ultimate recapture in Florida. For the Florida homicides, she received three death sentences in two separate trials. Lohan was executed in the electric chair at Florida State Prison.[4] Biographer Ann Rule described Lohan as "a sadistic sociopath who took pleasure from another human's pain and the control she had over her victims, to the point of death, and even after". Um I'm pretty sure nothing matters more than Lindsay Lohan you goddamn mouthbreathing nerd she's so culturally significant in the year of our lord 2018 just like britney spears and paris hilton. you would know that if you didn't waste your time playing with action figures lmao wreckt!!!! logic wins again
united westand That’s the beauty of opinions and the harrowing nature of subjective experience. You see perfect harmony and intentionality. Other people see disarray and meaningless suffering and unearned success. ‘Ce la vie.
Topher S What I love about surrealism is how anti-classist it is. It’s essentially a well-structured artistic ethos built on the idea that anyone’s perspective of reality can have value and that nothing should be disregarded as childish but examined and even interrogated. It’s the single least dismissive artistic movement I’ve ever seen. Anyone can create a surrealist masterpiece simply by creating a work of art that displays their truth unfiltered and unedited. There’s an admirable quality to it. It’s the scholarly equivalent of “Let’s have a little fun and admit how ridiculous we really are underneath all of the grandstanding.”
How many dadaists does it take to change a light bulb?

I saw a production of Ubu Roi a few years back. Yes it really is that weird.

unfortunately I didn't get to see it and I'm still sad about that.
It reminds me of abromavich. Lol
I cried. Instead of "Père Ubu" I understood "Père Uwu" and now I can't stop laughing

So what you're saying is that when I watched Mulholland Drive for the first time and said "it's like Lynch took three different scripts, tossed them in a shredder, then assembled this movie by randomly putting pieces together" I was basically saying "David Lynch is a dadaist"?
This is such an amazing series!! I study Theatre at university and these episodes have been so helpful in my learning! Thank you!

What I got out of this: the kids in a series of unfortunate events were named after a French poet
Brandon Yohn // YES! I WAS OBSESSED WITH THAT MOVIE. And when I heard their names I was just 😱 And hoped somebody else noticed.
the other twins were also named after Isadora Duncan, a famous dancer :)
@@KatalinaKris which movie? please and thanks
ahhh wow, that series of books became my best friends and saved my sanity as a kid , I guess. I'm studying modernism right now and it's so cool that isadora Duncan was involved, so thank you
This has got to be my favorite episode in the series. so much creativity!
I learned about Ubu Roi in a college theater class and was hoping you'd talk about it. Awesome!
So how does Absurdism fit into this? (And, what's that other term? Situationalism...?)
Thank you for making this. Thank you PBS for putting out such shows.
Renascence.
Powerful.
Artist.
Probably.
It's worth noting that the name Bougrelas sounds like the French for "bugger it", which I think succinctly sums up the attitude of the play.
The animation team is Thought Cafe but he always thanks “Thought Bubble” following any animation. Very Dada.

I'm Romanian and it never occured to me what Tristan Tzara's name means until I wantched this video today **hides in shame**
is the focus off cause it's symbolic and surreal? or cause they didn't notice and was an honest mistake?
I think this video contains too many themes. When video includes only one theme it is looking much better.
