Gershwin's Fascinating Rhythm: The Rise Of The Jazz Musical, Amy C. Baumgartner
Gershwin's Fascinating Rhythm: The Rise Of The Jazz Musical, Amy C. Baumgartner
Theses and Dissertations
The shift in the American economic viewpoint before and after World War I left an indelible mark on the arts, allowing the only indigenous music to arise, jazz. In the transitory period following the war, it was George Gershwin who paved the way for jazz to become America's only indigenous music. Yet, the current definition of jazz is so racially polarized that it has lost focus on the music. This work explores George Gershwin's role in creating a jazz culture in a xenophobic country and argues for an inclusive definition of jazz, one based on the music itself.

Integrating Actor Training Into Movement Design: An Analysis Of The Fight Direction In Tamburlaine And Edward Ii, Christopher Drew Vidal
Theses and Dissertations
The following thesis draws from a recent production assignment at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C., in which I acted as Associate Fight Director under Broadway Fight Director Rick Sordelet. We worked on three shows in all: William Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, and Christopher Marlowe's first play, Tamburlaine, and his last, Edward II. By analyzing and assessing the working methods utilized during this production process, I hope to elucidate the most effective elements, and finally synthesize the tenets of my own working method. Structurally, I will recount the experience chronologically, from preproduction to performance, treating the pros and …
Choreographing Cabaret: A Guide To Storytelling Through Dance And Movement, Katie Claire Bradley
Choreographing Cabaret: A Guide To Storytelling Through Dance And Movement, Katie Claire Bradley
Theses and Dissertations
American Musical Theatre is one of the unique American methods of storytelling that exists in performance. In a musical, text, song, movement, and dance tell a story. In Music Theatre, when a character can no longer express what they desire in words, they sing. If singing cannot satisfy the need, the element of dance comes into play. Richard Kislan states, "What sets dance apart is the universality in movement and gesture which is not bound like language to nationality or culture. Dance transcends geography in a way that language cannot. Dance humanizes expression in a way that music cannot."(237) In …

Integrating Nature Into Urban Educational Environments, Caroline Anne Davenport

Urban educational environments struggle to offer green space and natural light to their students.

The project integrates nature into an urban adaptive re-use school environment, …

Sing Together! Choral Singing As A Supplementary Training Method For Actors, Daniel C. Dennis
Sing Together! Choral Singing As A Supplementary Training Method For Actors, Daniel C. Dennis
Theses and Dissertations
Voice and speech training for the actor has traditionally defined itself as distinct from the vocal training of the musical theatre or opera singer. The separation in philosophy and practice by trainers of actors and singers reflects the resultant capabilities and proclivities of our performers. Those performers generally sing or act, and if asked, will sometimes do both, but may damage their voices in the process. This study aims to explore and reveal how actors may develop a greater sense of courage and trust, have easy access to breath, find freedom in their bodies and voices, become better listeners and …
