Download or read book The New Movement in the Theatre (Classic Reprint) written by Sheldon Cheney and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Movement in the Theatre I have a certain respect for authority, but very little respect for what is commonly taken (like medi cine) as authoritative criticism. If a point of view has been established in writing these essays, it is that of the student. The authority necessarily judges by set standards, and when vital changes come he is all at sea; whereas the student is free to seek gold where he will. Thus I have sifted the sands of many a new current - and here the resulting treas ures are offered to him who has patience to read. If the authority complain that the opierings have not the sanction of time, I may only retort that I believe the over-enthusiastic student is a better guide than the over-cautious critic. Nothing has been put down here in haste or Without thought. If my judgments still fail - if I seem too tolerant toward the things that are new - it must be because futurism appeals to me more than archaaology as a force for progress in art. In writing of the arts of the theatre I would rather be a futurist than an archivist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book At the New Theatre and Others, the American Stage written by Walter Prichard Eaton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from At the New Theatre and Others, the American Stage: Its Problems and Performances, 1908-1910 During the seasons of 1908 - 09 and 1909 - 10 the most interesting developments in the American dramatic world have been the steady rise to strength of an opposition to the so-called Theatrical Syndicate and the opening of the New Theatre in New York. The New Theatre is still, after one season, an experiment. It is not truly an endowed Institution, but a private playhouse depending for its support on the continued good will of its wealthy founders. It was not democratic in its inception nor planned by men shrewdly versed in the difficult craft of the theatre. It has labored under a great handicap. Its future usefulness, if not its very existence, will depend upon how well those at its head learn the lesson of experience. But its field of possible achievement is mighty; it repre sents a significant effort to place the drama in this country upon a level with the other arts, above the truck of commerce. The rise of an opposition to the Theatrical Syndicate has been, in a different way, no less signifi cant and, so far, very much more successful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from "The Stage" Year Book, 1915 It has not been easy to draw any definite conclusion from the ear's work in the theatres, but I think it may be said that the success of The and of Promise may indicate that the public is ready to support plays of strong interest, of a type less artificial than oldd-ashioned melodrama. The War may have the effect of increasing the appeal of the serious play. But. In general the year has shown once more that audiences like comedy to have a serious or satirical or even a symbolical interest There is still room for light-hearted farce, but the straight old-fashioned comedy of manners does not appeal as it did. We like our humour to have a serious background, or rather we like comedy to deal With serious matters under the cloak of humour. As that is a national characteristic, such plays seem to me to possess real vitality. Is it very far-fetched to claim Mr. Bernard Shaw as the apostle of this movement? As to the future of the theatre, we must be prepared for difficult times, but those who feel pessimistic must remember that the drama is a, natural expression of human feeling, and that the satisfaction of that expression is an absolute necessity.

Download or read book Smith College Theatre Workshop Plays written by Samuel A. Eliot and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smith College Theatre Workshop Plays: An Anthology, (1918-1921) It is not because we consider the ten plays in this volume to be valuable works of art or contributions to the American Drama that we venture to publish them. Compared with the parallel volumes Plays of the 47 Workshop -published at Harvard, they are no more than tentative preliminary sketches, creditable to the under graduates who wrote them, interesting to friends of Smith College and the Workshop idea, but without much claim on the attention of readers or producing groups elsewhere. Nearly all of them have indeed been put to the test of performance before a selected, critical audience, in the Smith College Theatre Workshop, - but for reasons presently to be set forth, the test in every case was inconclusive. Hence the real Object of this publication is to make it possible for the Workshop to provide a genuine test to the plays of future students: these first-fruits are a sacrifice toward greater things to come.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Another Book on the Theatre There is only one way in which parents may cure a child of this ambition to be a dramatic critic and that way is quickly to take him to New York and make him go to the theatre twice in succession. If, after this, the child is still alive, and still interested in the theatre, his parents may prepare themselves for the worst. As dutiful parents it then becomes their duty no longer to stand in the way Of their child's ambition and to give him the education meces sary to the work he has chosen as his life's career. This education essential to the popular and huan cial success of a modern dramatic critic - super imposes upon the aspirant a thorough understanding and appreciation of the following inviolable defini tions and rules: I. A dramatic criticism consists in so arranging the words and phrases, technique, nuance, brilliant, realism, play of ideas, com mercial, superficial, egregious, relentless, atmosphere symbolism, craftsmanship.

Book Synopsis The Theatre of Work by Clive Wilkinson by : Clive Wilkinson
Download or read book The Theatre of Work by Clive Wilkinson written by Clive Wilkinson and published by Frame Publishers. This book was released on 2019-06-02 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architect and writer Clive Wilkinson examines global developments in the workplace and proposes innovative principles for a design process that will bring the concept of ‘work as theatre’ to fruition. The modern workplace has evolved to provide better technology and more amenities for employees, but what advances have been made in building truly creative communities that spark creativity and collaboration? Is the 21st century office performing at its peak? The Theatre of Work proposes an evolution of the relationship between office users and the spaces they occupy. As work processes and community relationships evolve, new collaborative synergies within the workplace are created. The interplay between space and people offers a new kind of theatre where parallels with the archetypal theatre of the street and the marketplace occur. This emerging new workspace should amplify and celebrate the activity of work and of human community, and in the process, become vital and compelling theatre. In defining this new office landscape, architect and writer Clive Wilkinson examines global developments in workplace thinking, historical antecedents, the performance touch-points for the new office, and proposes seven humanistic principles that will inform a holistic design process that can bring this concept of theatre to fruition. Each of these principles is demonstrated through case studies of the work of his renowned design studio, Clive Wilkinson Architects (CWa), with rich iconography, diagrammatic strategy and contextual ingenuity. The outcome of this process, with its multiple performative layers, effectively promotes elevating a corporate brief of basic needs and goals to a profoundly human-centered presentation of ‘work as theatre’.
Book Synopsis Studies in Stagecraft (Classic Reprint) by : Clayton Meeker Hamilton
Download or read book Studies in Stagecraft (Classic Reprint) written by Clayton Meeker Hamilton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-16 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Stagecraft Thrs book is a companion volume to the theory OF the theatre. The principles outlined in the former work were derived from a study of dramatic art in general, without particular reference to any single period; but the principles outlined in the present work have been derived mainly from a study of the drama of to-day. In this growing age of stagecraft, it is necessary that criticism should bestir itself to keep astride with the rapid revolutions in dramatic artistry that are being effected before our very eyes. The theory OF the theatre dealt chiefly with principles inherited by the present from the past: but studies IN stagecraft deals chiefly with principles that seem destined to be bequeathed by the present to the future. Most of the studies included in this volume have appeared, in earlier versions, in one or another of the magazines in which, in recent years, I have con ducted departments of dramatic criticism, - namely, The Bookman, Vogue, Everybody's Magazine, and Dress and Vanity Fair. One chapter has been com pounded from two papers contributed to Art and Progress. To the proprietors of these publications I am indebted for the privilege of quoting from my contributions to their pages. It is scarcely necessary to add that these studies have been diligently revised and, in many passages, entirely rewritten.

He questioned himself; he sought to divine who could have been that soul in torment which had not been willing to quit this world without leaving this stigma of crime or unhappi ness upon the brow of the ancient church.

Book Synopsis Greek Tragedy, Education, and Theatre Practices in the UK Classics Ecology by : David Bullen
Download or read book Greek Tragedy, Education, and Theatre Practices in the UK Classics Ecology written by David Bullen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-12 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a series of case studies, this book explores the interrelations among Greek tragedy, theatre practices, and education in the United Kingdom. This is situated within what the volume proposes as ‘the Classics ecology’. The term ‘ecology’, frequently used in Theatre Studies, understands Classics as a field of cultural production dependent on shared knowledge circulated via formal and informal networks, which operate on the basis of mutually beneficial exchange. Productions of Greek tragedy may be influenced by members of the team studying Classics subjects at school or university, or reading popular works of Classical scholarship, or else by working with an academic consultant. All of these have some degree of connection to academic Classics, albeit filtered through different lenses, creating a network of mutual influence and benefit (the ecology). In this way, theatrical productions of Greek drama may, in the long term, influence Classics as an academic discipline, and certainly contribute to attesting to the relevance of Classics in the modern world. The chapters in this volume include contributions by both theatre makers and academics, whose backgrounds vary between Theatre Studies and Classics. They comprise a variety of case studies and approaches, exploring the dissemination of knowledge about the ancient world through projects that engage with Greek tragedy, theories and practices of theatre making through the chorus, and practical relationships between scholars and theatre makers. By understanding the staging of Greek tragedy in the United Kingdom today as being part of the Classics ecology, the book examines practices and processes as key areas in which the value of engaging with the ancient past is (re)negotiated. This book is primarily suitable for students and scholars working in Classical Reception and Theatre Studies who are interested in the reception history of Greek tragedy and the intersection of the two fields. It is also of use to more general Classics and Theatre Studies audiences, especially those engaged with current debates around ‘saving Classics’ and those interested in a structural, systemic approach to the intersection between theatre, culture, and class.

The critic of the theatre may be viewed as its chronicler, or as the contributor of materials to a future history of the stage. Hazlitt held that some record of the actors was due to the world; while he noted that the player's art is one that perishes with him, leaving no trace of itself but in the faint descriptions of the pen or pencil. The lives of the players cannot be related without constant reference to contemporary reviews of their performances.
