This book was released on 2000 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rojo (dramatic arts, U. of Connecticut) describes the method of acting and performance he developed. Using the actor's own self-personality, the psychophysical technique employs extemporaneous games and exercises in a specialized workshop that can lead to a performance for an audience. He begins by setting out the theory behind the method, then explores the function of games and exercises in the workshop setting, and describes the games and exercises themselves. The approach has roots in the methods of Stanislavski, Meyerhold, Brecht, and Grotowski, but also draws on Richard Schechner's more recent theory and practice of environmental theater. The text is double spaced. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Method Acting Exercises Handbook is a concise and practical guide to the acting exercises originally devised by Lee Strasberg, one of the Method's foremost practitioners. The Method trains the imagination, concentration, senses and emotions to ‘re-create’ – not ‘imitate’ – logical, believable and truthful behavior on stage and in film. Building on nearly 30 years of teaching internationally and at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York and Los Angeles, Lola Cohen details a series of specific exercises in order to provide clear instruction and guidance to this preeminent form of actor training. By integrating Strasberg's voice with her own tried and tested style of teaching, Cohen demonstrates what can be gained from the exercises, how they can inform and inspire your learning, and how they might be applied to your acting and directing practice. As a companion to The Lee Strasberg Notes (Routledge 2010), a transcription of Strasberg's own teaching, The Method Acting Exercises Handbook offers an unparalleled and updated guide to this world renowned technique.

This study is both a historical biography and critical analysis of the literature, concluding with an attempt to place his work in critical perspective both in terms of his own era, and ours. In addition to his best-known play, the often-anthologized civil war spectacle Shenandoah, it examines his other works such as Saratoga, Young Mrs Winthrop, One of Our Girls and The Henrietta.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This discussion provides primary research on the activities of popular dramatists and drama groups in Scotland who played an important role in the late blossoming of a Scottish national drama. The text covers Joe Corrie's Fife Miner Players, Glasgow Unity Theatre and Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop. These companies produced a wide range of original works on contemporary issues (the General Strike of 1926, unemployment in the hungry 30s, Glasgow's post-war housing shortage) as well as religious, racial and gender issues. They adopted a variety of styles, from agit-prop to social realism, and made creative use of popular forms of entertainment, from the Burns Supper to the village concert. The book provides a comparison with the work of other international popular drama movements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study adds another insight into the period of Louis XIV - that the confluence of the theatrical arts from older traditions developed to shape a distinctly French style which all pertained to the glorification of the Sun King. While previous studies have stressed the literary and musical side of the performances of the period, this study examines the settings and scene designs which completed the picture of the royal mythologies. Besides giving an account of the festivities of Versailles and other venues, and setting them in their social environment, this work relates the spectacles to the political and social milieu, incorporating both contemporary literary theory and cultural history.

It will be also of interest to theatre and dance practitioners, especially those working with masks or intercultural performance.

Download or read book The Dramaturgy of Mark Medoff written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Select social and academic communities accord cultural status to deafness and disability, but cultural designation remains an intensely debated topic among many culture non-members and a sensitive hot potato among culture group members. As a result and with alarming speed and regularity, an increasing number of scholars now examine multiple facets of deafness and disability and how culture members intersect with mainstream society. This much needed research helps to bring into perspective and to reconcile distinct segments of our pluralistic world. Yet relatively little in-depth research investigates how dramatic literature represents deaf or disability cultures or people; more specifically, although for centuries plays have developed a myriad of disabled characters, only a handful of plays have developed deaf characters. Given these combined circumstances, the entire fields of creativity and inquiry related to deafness are badly neglected. To date, only a small sprinkling of commercially produced playscripts include deaf characters or take deaf issues as their thematic through lines. It is not surprising, then, that no existing anthology groups plays about deafness in order to p

This book was released on 2004 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can hit, you can field, but can you make them laugh? Working from interviews and questionnaires, Bradsaw (theater, Gonzaga U.) also uses his personal experience with a ComedySportz team in describing the intensive preparation necessary to get players ready for competitive improv comedy. He describes the history of the art form, the workshops conducted to help players develop the timing of trapeze artists and the hides of rhinos, and the fine points of a sport that favors explosive mind games over protective headgear, however handy the latter may be. He includes a list of teams in the Comedy League of America, the games played in ComedySportz, and a sample questionnaire. We were amused. The text is double-spaced.

Download or read book An Examination of Robert Beadell's (1925-1994) Four Major Works for the Lyric Stage written by Scott Root and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert M. Beadell (1925-1994) modestly referred to himself as a neoclassic eclectic composer and an obscure regional composer, yet these appellations do not begin to describe the importance of his contribution to twentieth century American music. The four music dramas which are the subject of this study are each very different in their size and scope, yet all bear the unmistakable stamp of Beadell's unique blend of music and drama. This book intends to show that the four music dramas are unique examples of American opera and should have the opportunity to be examined for their musicological and dramatic worth so that American opera directors and impresarios can decide if they should be included as definitive examples of American opera.

Book excerpt: Polish-born director, writer, playwright, and scholar Braun (State U. of New York-Buffalo) sets down the approach to creative theatre directing that he teaches in his classes. It is based on the two premises that directing is an act of creating--of making something out of nothing--and that is also a craft that requires skills, techniques, methods, and tools to express the artistic energies and spiritual abundance of human life. After an introduction, he discusses shaping a theater style, creative text analysis, creating the human layer of the performance, performance space and time, action, mind and imagination, the director's practical preparations, implementing the project before rehearsals, creative rehearsals, and final rehearsals leading to the opening. The text is double spaced. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Book excerpt: This is the first and only guide for actors that brings together the most well-known techniques of Method Acting. Besides basic Method Acting techniques, it includes refinements which were developed in the Ned Manderino Workshop during its beginning months. These were the first basic Method Exercises to go beyond traditional Method Acting and include: A specific and inventive Characterisation Exercise; Stimuli Exercise (which has demonstrated its effectiveness beyond basic Method sensory technique); The Wandering Personal Object (which has proved itself to give more physicalisation to an actor's behaviour than the propounded use of temperature sensations). Also included are a long discussion of Method Acting details that are involved in creating a role and the most extensive list available of Actions and Method Acting Choices.
