ISBN: 9783639172768 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the relationship between orality and Franco-Ontarian theatre and more specifically the way in which oral practices (such as traditional story-telling) have been adapted and transformed by Franco-Ontarian playwrights, actors and directors, to produce a specific poetics of performance that evolved exclusively within Franco-Ontarian society between its theatre's genesis in 1970 to 2000. The corpus is drawn from those plays written and/or performed which exhibit characteristics of oral culture, as defined by the works of such scolars as Mercia Eliade, Arnold van Gennep, Richard...

Performing Race and Torture on the Early Modern Stage
ISBN: 9780415875684 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Performing Race and Torture on the Early Modern Stage provides the first sustained reading of Restoration plays through a performance theory lens. This approach shows that an analysis of the conjoined performances of torture and race not only reveals the early modern interest in the nature of racial identity, but also how race was initially coded in a paradoxical fashion as both essentially fixed and socially constructed. An examination of scenes of torture provides the most effective way to unearth these seemingly contradictory representations of race because depictions of...

Moreover, a chapter is devoted to his often ignored articles for The Irish Press (1962 1963), a series that reveals unsuspected insights into Friel's...

The Secret Life of Musical Notation: Defying Interpretive Traditions
ISBN: 9781574671841 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book, Roberto Poli presents original discoveries that have generated ground breaking insights based on years of research and performance: long-standing interpretations of commonly encountered musical signs and symbols, from as early as the 1770s, may fail to reveal the composers' intended meanings. These misconstrued readings are due precisely to traditions themselves - traditions that have rested largely upon received knowledge rather than historical accuracy. Restoring the original connotation of signs and symbols in the scores can bring us closer to practices that have not gained...

This dissertation uses the SITI Company's mission-creating new work, training young theatre artists, and international collaboration-as a basis for situating the company within theatre history. Starting with the foundations built by Artaud, Brecht, and Copeau, early 20th Century artists influenced by Asian performance techniques, followed by the Wooster Group, Theatre du Soleil, and Complicite, late 20th Century collaborative theatre companies which create new works, this work offers a context for understanding SITI's style where movement assumes as important a role in performance as text....

Theatre Ecology: Environments and Performance Events
ISBN: 9780521120746 / Angielski / Miękka / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. First published in 2007, this book asks what are the challenges to theatre and the purposes of performance in an ecologically threatened world? Is there a future for theatre as an ethically and politically alert art through environmental action? How might ecological understandings refigure the natural virtues of theatre and performance? Theatre Ecology gets to grips with such questions by investigating an eclectic cosmopolitan sample of environments and performance events, in theatres and beyond. It proposes that performance is a peculiarly twenty-first century addiction at the root global...

Beyond Fun and Games
ISBN: 9783639184273 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book charts the course of my attempts to bring meaning for myself and for others about our worlds energy resources. This theme was playfully explored through the creation and production of the interactive Forum Theatre piece "Spies in the Oilsands" and a serious videogame called "The Pipeline Pinball Energy Thrill Ride Game." The book also looks at the use of theatre as a model for new ways of analyzing videogames and ultimately looks at both theatre and games as ways of rehearsing the reality of our future. Part One is a review of literary influences that relate to the theoretical aims...

Suicide Plays
ISBN: 9783639210736 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection of four stage plays, all separately published before, is introduced by an essay on "The Werther Effect." Although linked by a common theme of self-murder they should not be misunderstood as attempts to glamorise the act. The first play, entitled "Hamlet + Ophelia = ?," is deliberately provocative. It is hoped, however, that the protagonists of this angry little piece are seen to be impetuous and childish, rather than noble or deep. The second play, "Games for Married Couples," is less about seppuku than it is about the despair of child-less marriage. It is not much happier...
