    Anna Langhoff and Christoph Schlingensief are two contemporary theatre makers who sit at opposite ends of the dramatic/postdramatic theatre divide. In that both artists see themselves as critics of western neoliberalism, their different approaches to theatre and performance invite a comparative study of ‘being political’. Langhoff’s neorealist plays and Schlingensief’s performance events both demonstrate the limits of liberal society’s capacity to deal with complex social problems. But how effective is each after the event? The paper uses Han Thiess Lehmann’s study of postdramatic theatre to compare the two performance styles.The conference was sponsored by A.D.S.A., the Department of Performance Studies, the School of Letters, Arts and Media, and the Faculty of Arts of the University of Sydney

    Obesity in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) seems to be related to a low basal metabolic rate (BMR). In addition, abnormal sleep patterns reported in PWS might affect sleeping metabolic rate (SMR).Our objective was to assess BMR and SMR adjusted for fat-free mass in young PWS patients.Subjects were 17 PWS patients (10 females and 7 males aged 7.5-19.8 y) and 17 obese control subjects matched for sex and bone age. SMR was measured in a respiratory chamber, BMR with a ventilated-hood system, and body composition by deuterium dilution.BMR and SMR were significantly lower in the PWS group than in the control group (5.36 +/- 1.18 and 4.62 +/- 1.08 MJ/d compared with 6.38 +/- 1.55 and 5.60 +/- 1.52 MJ/d, respectively; P <0.05). When fat-free mass was included in the analysis, multiple regression showed no differences in BMR and SMR between groups. When weight was included in the analysis instead of fat-free mass, SMR was lower in the PWS group. Fat-free mass was lower in the PWS group both as an absolute value and when adjusted for height.BMR and SMR are low in young patients with PWS because of a low fat-free mass
