Download or read book Paradise written by Kae Tempest and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Tempest has a gift for shattering and transcending convention.’ New York Times Philoctetes lives in a cave on a desolate island: the wartime hero is now a wounded outcast. Stranded for ten years, he sees a chance of escape when a young soldier appears with tales of Philoctetes’ past glories. But with hope comes suspicion – and, as an old enemy emerges, he is faced with an even greater temptation: revenge. Kae Tempest is now widely acknowledged as a revolutionary force in contemporary British poetry, music and drama; they continue to expand the range of their work with a new version of Sophocles’ Philoctetes in a bold new translation. Like Brand New Ancients before it, Paradise shows Tempest’s gift for lending the old tales an immediate contemporary relevance – and will find this timeless story a wide new audience.

Download or read book Event-Space written by Dorita Hannah and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the symbolists, constructivists and surrealists of the historical avant-garde began to abandon traditional theatre spaces and embrace the more contingent locations of the theatrical and political ‘event’, the built environment of a performance became not only part of the event, but an event in and of itself. Event-Space radically re-evaluates the avant garde’s championing of nonrepresentational spaces, drawing on the specific fields of performance studies and architectural studies to establish a theory of ‘performative architecture’. ‘Event’ was of immense significance to modernism’s revolutionary agenda, resisting realism and naturalism – and, simultaneously, the monumentality of architecture itself. Event-Space analyzes a number of spatiotemporal models central to that revolution, both illuminating the history of avant-garde performance and inspiring contemporary approaches to performance space.

Hardy discusses in detail each project's development and the challenges, strategies, and human concerns that influenced its design.

Book excerpt: Contemporary Theater: Evolution and Design marks an unprecedented attempt to trace the evolution and style of theater architecture from its very beginnings to the present and to provide a methodology for modern theater design. Emphasizing that today's theaters are the inevitable result of older traditions and are themselves part of ongoing heritage, It defines the social, aesthetic, philosophic, and political components that have shaped 20th-century Theater forms and, from that point, identifies contemporary architectural trends for the theater.Contemporary Theater consists of four main sections, which follow chronologically signifying distinct periods in the evolution of the theater:Evolutionary Problems Up to the 20th Century - discusses instinctive theater in primitive tribes and Egypt; The Golden Age of Greece, the Roman Empire; Middle Ages up to 19th-century Romanticism and Realism.20th-Century Theater - examines the relation of 19th to 20th-century theater; the impact of social upheavals; World War I; new movements and trends in theater architecture, scenography and stagecraft; the "golden age of theater"; new technology; the emergence of Appia, Graig, Reinhardt, Piscator, Gropius, and the Bauhaus School.Contemporary Theater Forms - describes new exploratory theater forms created between the word wars:Contemporary Trends - summarizes the conclusions of the study; analyzes the functional needs of its performing art and defines the appropriate theater form for each art.Enhanced by numerous diagrams, charts and an extensive bibliography, Contemporary Theater represents the first holistic vision of the theater from architectural viewpoint. Equally important, the book stands as a challenge to contemporary architects and artist to build upon the rich traditions and forms of the past, as their ancestors did to revive the "living organism"known as theater.
