- W1873695558 abstract "Anna Deavere Smith's performance of Fires in the Mirror captured the attention of New Yoik and the national press in the summer of 1992, and in April, 1993, the television adaptation of this production expanded Smith's audience. To most of those witnessing her theatrical confrontation with the dynamics of the social crisis in Crown Heights, Smith's mode of performance seemed radically new. While Fires appeared, at this point, to be a timely, singular event, a dynamic theater piece inextricably linked to its moment in history, those who knew her previous work recognized that it also constituted the latest drama in Smith's series, On the Road: A Search for American Character, an endeavor begun ten years earlier. Each separate work in this extended project identifies itself as part of the ongoing enterprise. In the spring and early summer of 1993, Smith created the next work in the series, Twilight, in which she addresses the aftermath of the riots in Los Angeles that erupted after the announcement of the verdict in the Rodney King case. Anna Deavere Smith's performances exercise a radically new mode of theatrical representation and demand a new approach to the practices of both acting and play writing. Smith identifies herself as a playwright, an actor, and a teacher of acting. As she analyzes and discusses these activities, she becomes, in consequence, a theorist. Her continuing project, On the Road works within an implied aesthetic that challenges both the artistic and ideological premises of orthodox method acting and the conventional forms of play writing. Smith interviews a selection of participants, observers, and victims of the particular critical moment she addresses. The text prepared for performance consists of segments of the interviews that she has recorded on tape. Smith builds the performance by appropriating language, inflection, and gesture from these encounters. She subtly interlaces segments from these individual discourses into" @default.
