Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking new ground in the study of performance theory, this maverick and powerful project from renowned Renaissance scholar and queer theorist Simon Shepherd presents a unique take on theory and the physical reality of theatre. Examining a range of material, Theatre, Body, Pleasure addresses a significant gap in the literary and drama studies arenas and explores the interplay of bodily value, the art of bodies and the physical responses to that art. It explains first how the body makes meaning and carries value. Then it describes the relationships between time and space and body. The book’s features include: * large historical range, from medieval to postmodern * case studies offering close readings of written texts * examples of how to ‘read for the body’, exploring written text as a ‘discipline’ of the body * breadth of cultural reference, from stage plays through to dance culture * a range of theoretical approaches, including dance analysis and phenomenology Writing in accessible prose, Shepherd introduces new ways of analyzing dramatic text and has produced a book which is part theatre history, part dramatic criticism and part theatrical tour de force. Students of drama, theatre and performance studies and cultural studies will find this an absolute must read.

Download or read book An Introduction to Post-Colonial Theatre written by Brian Crow and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-03-21 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Brian Crow and Chris Banfield provide an introduction to post-colonial theatre by concentrating on the work of major dramatists from the Third World and subordinated cultures in the first world. Crow and Banfield consider the plays of such writers as Wole Soyinka and Athol Fugard and his collaborators from Africa; Derek Walcott from the West Indies; August Wilson and Jack Davis, who write from and about the experience of Black communities in the USA and Australia respectively; and Badal Sircar and Girish Karnad from India. Although these dramatists reflect diverse cultures and histories, they share the common condition of cultural subjection or oppression, which has shaped their theatres. Each chapter contains an informative list of primary source material and further reading about the dramatists. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of theatre and cultural history.

Book excerpt: "In 1968, Jerzy Grotowski published his groundbreaking Towards a Poor Theatre, a record of the theatrical investigations conducted at his experimental theater in Poland. This classic work on acting and performance is now available once again. In his preface to the original edition, Peter Brook wrote: "Grotowski is unique. Why? Because no one else in the world, to my knowledge no one since Stanislavski, has investigated the nature of acting, its phenomenon, its meaning, the nature and science of its mental-physical-emotional processes as deeply as Grotowski." More recently, Richard Schechner has called Grotowski "one of the four great directors of Western theater." Jerzy Grotowski was born in Poland in 1933. In 1982 he moved to the United States and worked at the University of California. He later moved to Italy, where he continued his unique and intense theatrical investigation. He died in 1999"--Publisher description.

Book excerpt: "Hal Prince's career in the American theatre ... [as of 1974] has encompassed every aspect of producing and directing. Having served his apprenticeship with George Abbott, he co-produced in 1954 (with Robert Griffith and Frederick Brisson) the hit musical The Pajama Game. He went on to produce (with Robert Griffith and Frederick Brisson) Damn Yankees and New Girl in Town. In 1957, he produced (with Robert Griffith and Roger L. Stevens) West Side Story, and two years later (with Robert Griffith), the Pulitzer Prize-winning Fiorello! In addition, he produced Take Her, She's Mine, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and the record breaking Fiddler on the Roof. He worked in the dual capacity of director and producer on She Loves Me, Cabaret, Zorba, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, and most recently, Candide. He also directed one film, Something for Everyone. In telling the story of his career, Hal Prince deals self-critically with his experience in the theatre and gives his candid opinions on such varied subjects as the harm a star can do to a show, the single-mindedness of unions, the choice of the right theatre, the power of the critic, good and bad, and most important, the director as producer."--Dust jacket.
