ISBN: 9781617030604 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 1930s two protest groups gained the public eye by role playing. They brought their social grievances to attention in their communities by staging mock performances. In this fascinating study of two strikes, Kirk W. Fuoss reports how the novel incidents of these protests unite the seemingly opposing forces of community and contestation. The two extended case studies-the Workers Alliance of America's 1936 takeover of the New Jersey State Assembly and the General Motors sitdown strike of 1936-37-illustrate group interdependence rather than opposition and demonstrate the irony of...

Cummins, was changing lives with secrets he learned by talkin' to horses. Over 100 photos mirror the sensibility of this soft-spoken feed-bucket philosopher and author of "KING and the COWBOY."

Toward a Dramaturgical Sensibility: Landscape and Journey
ISBN: 9781611475234 / Angielski / Twarda / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Toward a Dramaturgical Sensibility begins with a moment in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra in which Cleopatra says to Antony, "Not know me yet?" With these four words Cleopatra poses a simple but fundamental human problem: What can we know? She and Antony have known each other for years, at times gloriously--emotionally, mentally, and in the archaic sense of the word, physically--but still the challenge of knowing hangs in the air. Cleopatra's question reminds us that knowledge is not simple: that it is as likely to create yearning as satisfaction; that it is not confined to any one part...

Through the same means, the...

ISBN: 9783838362779 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study is an attempt to get inside the processes that work to create a theatrical work in one local community theatre context. In doing so, the notion of what community theatre might mean is revisited, and community theatre is positioned as offering a unique prospect for a distinct creative community to form and exercise agency. The study is built around an analysis of the production of a postmodern theatrical work, "Jekyll and Hyde, a modern tale," which is an original modern interpretation of the Victorian novel. Through an examination of the processes of the play's formation, from...

ISBN: 9780754641520 / Angielski / Twarda / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Disguise devices figure in many early modern English plays, and an examination of them clearly affords an important reflection on the growth of early theatre as well as on important aspects of the developing nation. In this study Peter Hyland considers a range of practical issues related to the performance of disguise. He goes on to examine various conceptual issues that provide a background to theatrical disguise (the relation of self and "other," the meaning of mask and performance). He looks at many disguise plays under three broad headings. He considers moral issues (the almost universal...

ISBN: 9783906769578 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 1970s and early 1980s, the emergence of the Italian theatrical post-avant-garde marked a watershed in the development of experimental performance.

This book provides the first full-length English-language study of the...
