Book Synopsis Developing Zeami by : Shelley Fenno Quinn
Download or read book Developing Zeami written by Shelley Fenno Quinn and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2005-07-31 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great noh actor, theorist, and playwright Zeami Motokiyo (ca. 1363-1443) is one of the major figures of world drama. His critical treatises have attracted international attention ever since their publication in the early 1900s. His corpus of work and ideas continues to offer a wealth of insights on issues ranging from the nature of dramatic illusion and audience interest to tactics for composing successful plays to issues of somaticity and bodily training. Shelley Fenno Quinn’s impressive interpretive examination of Zeami’s treatises addresses all of these areas as it outlines the development of the playwright’s ideas on how best to cultivate attunement between performer and audience. Quinn begins by tracing Zeami’s transformation of the largely mimetic stage art of his father’s troupe into a theater of poiesis in which the playwright and actors aim for performances wherein dance and chant are re-keyed to the evocative power of literary memory. Synthesizing this remembered language of stories, poems, phrases, and their prosodies and associated auras with the flow of dance and chant led to the creation of a dramatic prototype that engaged and depended on the audience as never before. Later chapters examine a performance configuration created by Zeami (the nikyoku santai) as articulated in his mature theories on the training of the performer. Drawing on possible reference points from Buddhist and Daoist thought, the author argues that Zeami came to treat the nikyoku santai as a set of guidelines for bracketing the subjectivity of the novice actor, thereby allowing the actor to reach a certain skill level or threshold from which his freedom as an artist might begin.

Book Synopsis On the Art of the No Drama by : Masakazu Yamazaki
Download or read book On the Art of the No Drama written by Masakazu Yamazaki and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This annotated translation is the first systematic rendering into any Western language of the nine major treatises on the art of the Japanese No theater by Zeami Motokivo (1363-1443). Zeami, who transformed the No from a country entertainment into a vehicle for profound theatrical and philosophical experience, was a brilliant actor himself, and his treatises touch on every aspect of the theater of his time. His theories, mixing philosophical and practical insights, often seem strikingly contemporary. Since their discovery early in this century. these secret treatises have been considered among the most valuable and representative documents in the history of Japanese aesthetics. They discuss subjects from the art of the playwright to the reciprocal nature of the relationship between performer and audience.

Book Synopsis Traces in the Way by : Noel J. Pinnington
Download or read book Traces in the Way written by Noel J. Pinnington and published by Cornell East Asia Series. This book was released on 2006 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Traces in the Way is a study of the writings of fifteenth-century actor and playwright Komparu Zenchiku, one of the founders of Japanese Noh drama. While Zenchiku's famous father-in-law Zeami (and his father Kannami) stressed the importance of entertaining audiences, particularly the warrior-aristocrats in Kyoto, Zenchiku sought a deeper meaning for performance art, one commensurate with what he saw as its ancient roots in magic ritual. For Zenchiku, performance was primarily a means of spiritual union between actor and ultimate reality--a union which could also settle the world, bringing peace, plenty, and long life. Zenchiku thus developed a spiritual rationale for Noh performance, the influence of which is still discernible today. »--Page 4 de la couverture.

Download or read book The Invisible Actor written by Yoshi Oida and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Invisible Actor presents the captivating and unique methods of the distinguished Japanese actor and director, Yoshi Oida. While a member of Peter Brook's theatre company in Paris, Yoshi Oida developed a masterful approach to acting that combined the oriental tradition of supreme and studied control with the Western performer's need to characterise and expose depths of emotion. Written with Lorna Marshall, Yoshi Oida explains that once the audience becomes openly aware of the actor's method and becomes too conscious of the actor's artistry, the wonder of performance dies. The audience must never see the actor but only his or her performance. Throughout Lorna Marshall provides contextual commentary on Yoshi Oida's work and methods. In a new foreword to accompany the Bloomsbury Revelations edition, Yoshi Oida revisits the questions that have informed his career as an actor and explores how his skilful approach to acting has shaped the wider contours of his life.
