Book excerpt: Through a collection of original essays and case studies, this innovative book explores theory as an accessible, although complex, tool for theatre practitioners and students.

Focusing on the productive tensions and issues that surround creative practice and intellectual processes, the contributing authors present central concepts and questions that frame the role of theory in the theatre. Ultimately, this diverse and exciting collection offers inspiring ideas, raises new questions, and introduces ways to build theoretically-minded, dynamic production work.

Download or read book Death in Modern Theatre written by Adrian Curtin and published by Theatre: Theory - Practice - Performance. This book was released on 2019-02-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death in modern theatre offers a unique account of modern Western theatre, focusing on the ways in which dramatists and theatre-makers have explored historically informed ideas about death and dying in their work. It investigates the opportunities theatre affords to reflect on the end of life in a compelling and socially meaningful fashion. In a series of interrelated, mostly chronological, micronarratives beginning in the late nineteenth century and ending in the early twenty-first century, this book considers how and why death and dying are represented at certain historical moments using dramaturgy and aesthetics that challenge audiences' conceptions, sensibilities, and sense-making faculties. It includes a mix of well-known and lesser-known plays from an international range of dramatists and theatre-makers, and offers original interpretations through close reading and performance analysis.

Download or read book Theatre Practice written by Stark Young and published by New York : C. Scribner's Sons. This book was released on 1926 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume undertakes to consider not dramatists and plays alone but rather the arts of acting too, of theatrical design and production and such special phases and problems of these as illusion, stage movement, tempo, realistic and poetic methods, the voice, music, color and lights, and, furthermore, such artists, designers, producers, directors, and playwrights as illustrate and embody the principles considered. The very subjects undertaken, then, are not common to books on the drama and deal with points and problems that are often felt, but only vaguely shadowed, in the minds of students and lovers of the theatre and even of its creative artists. By such subjects the author at least intends to dilate the scope of the discussion and to illuminate a little further perhaps the essential nature of the art of the theatre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents foundational and representative essays of the last half century on theatre performance practice during the period 1580 to 1750. The particular focus is on the nature of playing spaces, staging, acting and audience response in professional theatre and the selection of previously published research articles and book chapters includes significant works on topics such as Shakespearean staging, French and Spanish theatre audiences, the challenging aspects of the evolution of Italian renaissance acting practice, and the ’hidden’ dimensions of performance. The essays provide coherent transnational coverage as well as detailed treatments of their individual topics. Considerations of theatre practice in Italy, Spain and France, as well as England, place Shakespeare’s theatre in its European context to reveal surprising commonalities and salient differences in the performance practice of early modern Europe’s major professional theatres. This volume is an indispensable reference work for university libraries, lecturers, researchers and practitioners and offers a coherent overview of early modern comparative performance practice, and a deeper understanding of the field’s major topics and developments.
