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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theatre of Tomorrow N o movement in the theatre has ever been simple enough for the purposes of the pigeonhole. Giants like Hugo and Ibsen may serve as expressions of the ro mantic and the realistic movements of the nineteenth century. But they have acquired stature through the passage of time, and about them in their own day stood playwrights, actors and producers now forgotten from whom and to whom impulse owed in the web of con temporary effort. The new stagecraft has its giant Gordon Craig - a giant who will grow greater in as peet as he and his contemporaries fade into the past. Yet it would be a reckless critic who would lay upon Craig alone the origination of a movement which sprang up in imperfect form at half a dozen points in Europe during the years before and after 1900. As far back as 1808 a German critic, August Wil helm Schlegel, gave an admirable summary of What was to be the theory of the new stagecraft, covering a surprising number of the points raised by Craig, Appia and the theorists and artists Who followed them: Our system of decoration was properly invented for the opera, to which in reality it is also best adapted. It has several unavoidable defects; others which may be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The New Spirit in Drama Art (Classic Reprint) written by Huntly Carter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Spirit in Drama Art My own idea of the finest form of national drama which this country will see adopted comprises a rhythmic concep tion of play, player, decoration, and music. This drama will be represented in a rhythmic form of theatre. Everything henceforth is to be orchestrated to produce a single but infinitely varied total eflect. We need a stage which lends itself to the simple and single vision, that brings even the most unintelligent spectator into the action of the drama and holds him there, that promotes a direction of effort on the part of all concerned which will unify the results. It will be found that the present search in Europe is for artistic rather than for rhythmic results. The pioneers of the new movement are chiefly concerned with attaining artistic simplification, unity, and suggestion. They are interpreting these ideas in the endeavour to bring order and beauty into the theatre. So far they have not made the attempt to seize the great rhythm of life and to set the theatre and drama in motion with it. But this will come. Their exact interpre tation of the new ideas will be found in the chapter entitled Summary and Suggestions.

Download or read book The Movement written by Clara Bingham and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive and engaging oral history of the decade that defined the feminist movement, including interviews with living icons and unsung heroes—from former Newsweek reporter and author of the “powerful and moving” (New York Times) Witness to the Revolution. For lovers of both Barbie and Gloria Steinem, The Movement is the first oral history of the decade that built the modern feminist movement. Through the captivating individual voices of the people who lived it, The Movement tells the intimate inside story of what it felt like to be at the forefront of the modern feminist crusade, when women rejected thousands of years of custom and demanded the freedom to be who they wanted and needed to be. This engaging history traces women’s awakening, organizing, and agitating between the years of 1963 and 1973, when a decentralized collection of people and events coalesced to create a spontaneous combustion. From Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique, to the underground abortion network the Janes, to Shirley Chisholm’s presidential campaign and Billie Jean King’s 1973 battle of the sexes, Bingham artfully weaves together the fragments of that explosion person by person, bringing to life the emotions of this personal, cultural, and political revolution. Artists and politicians, athletes and lawyers, Black and white, The Movement brings readers into the rooms where these women insisted on being treated as first class citizens, and in the process, changed the fabric of American life.

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 excerpt: Excerpt from The World of the Theatre: Impressions and Memoirs, March 1920-1921 Before presenting this batch of criticisms in all the impersonality of their original journalism, I suppose I must introduce myself and shew my credentials. This is rather a difficult matter; for, like other folk, I may not see myself quite as others see me; and my theatrical credentials are of such a kind that it is impossible for me to draw them up myself without either seeming egotistical or doing an injustice to the importance of the movement I had, and still have, at heart. In this dilemma I had resolved not to introduce myself at all when it occurred to me that I might extricate myself by taking the opinion of my old friend Bernard Shaw. He is my contemporary and was my colleague in those days when, as I think, I did the State some service. If he cannot introduce me nobody can. I wrote him an artless enquiry as to what he thinks I ought to say about myself. Here is his reply: "My Dear Grein: It is now very close on thirty years since you madly began an apparently hopeless attempt to bring the English theatre into some sort of relation with contemporary culture. Matthew Arnold had suggested that step; but nobody in the theatre took the slightest notice of him, because nobody in the theatre knew of the existence of such a person as Matthew Arnold. That was what was the matter with the theatre then. There was nothing wrong with the acting: I cannot remember any actor or actress then occupying a leading position who could be called an amateur or a duffer: they had all been "through the mill," and could make intruders who had not, look ridiculous. The theatres were better managed than they are now: the front of the house was not always controlled by the bar; and at the best theatres all petty cadgings like charges for programs and cloak room fees were abolished. The public was so seriously interested in the theatre that it booked seats months in advance: in fact, it was by the booking that a manager knew when his run was coming to an end. Photographs of actors and actresses cost a shilling each; and at this price the Stereoscopic Company did a big trade in them.

Download or read book One Act Plays (Classic Reprint) written by Helen Louise Cohen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-05 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Act Plays The one-act play is a new form of the drama and more emphatically a new form of literature. Its possibilities began to attract the attention of European and American writers in the last decade of the nineteenth century, those years when so many dramatic traditions lapsed and so many precedents were established. It is significant that the Oldest play in the present collection is Maeterlinck's The Intruder, published in 1890. The history of this new form is of necessity brief. Before its vogue became general, one-act plays were being presented 'in vaudeville houses in this country and were being used as curtain raisers in London theatres for the purpose of marking time until the late-dining audiences should arrive. With the exception of the famous Grand Guignol Theatre in Paris, where the entertainment for an evening might consist of sev eral one-act plays, all of the hair-raising, blood-curdling variety, programs composed entirely of one-act plays were rare. Sir James Matthew Barrie is usually credited with being the first in England to write one-act plays intended to be grouped in a single production. A program of this character has been un common in the commercial theatre in America, but three of Barrie's one-act plays, constituting a single program, have met with enthusiastic response from American audiences. There are two new developments in the history of the theatre that have encouraged and promoted the writing of one act plays: the one is the Repertory Theatre abroad and the other is the Little Theatre movement on both sides of the At lantic. The repertory of the Irish Players, for example, is composed largely of one-act plays, and American Little Theatres are given over almost exclusively to the one-act play.
