"Un Agujero Sin Límites": La Mirada Fenomenológica De Josep M. Benet I Jornet, Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

Con un estilo libremente poético y, a veces, frenético, Richard Foreman, dramaturgo, director, y figura predilecta del mundo del teatro experimental neoyorquino, intentó en 1972 trazar del modo siguiente los puntales teóricos de su llamado "Teatro Ontológico - Histórico"

I want to be seized by the elusive, unexpected alivenesss of the moment.

Surprise at the center: not the surprise of the least-expected…because that (Least-expected) is a reaction that “places” it and makes it no longer elusive. But

surprised by

a freshness

of moment that eludes

constantly refreshes. You go toward it

and can’t seize it? You don’t go toward it….. …

Performance Theory: «Desde Lo Político A Lo Espectacular: El Caso De Els Joglars», Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

Durante las últimas décadas, en Estados Unidos, España y otras partes del mundo, una de las cuestiones que ha suscitado un mayor grado de reflexión en el mundo teatral, por parte de los artistas tanto como de los teóricos, es la interrogación crítica y radical sobre la relación entre texto dramático y representación. La palabra escrita, tradicionalmente proveniente del dramaturgo e históricamente considerada el locus de autoridad en el teatro, empezó a perder su potencia prescriptiva con respecto al montaje artístico o «puesta en escena». Incluso, en algunas ocasiones, el espectáculo teatral alcanzó un nivel de independencia según el cual …

Agustín Gómez-Arcos En El Ocaso Del Exilio: Los Primeros Años Parisinos, Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

Agustín Gómez-Arcos llego a Francia en 1968, y sus primeros años de residencia en Paris representan un intervalo de transición con respecto a su trayectoria como escritor. Es una época de continuidad, tanto como de ruptura, en la cual las arduas memorias de un pasado español se funden con nuevos comienzos. Mientras que los temas que marcaron sus obras anteriores -la política, la religión, el erotismo y la lengua siguen habitando su escritura exílica, a la vez, su salida de España lógicamente induce una serie de transformaciones temáticas y estilísticas que más adelante pasaran a su obra novelística. En el …

Un Nen A L'Escala, Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

El personatge principal d'El criptograma de David Mamet és John, un nen de deu anys hipercansat i d'ulls lleganyosos, intelligent i tafaner, a qui el seu permanent insomni ha deixat en un curiós estat de fantasia, en algun lloc entre el desvetllament i la vigília inconscient. El seu gest més compulsiu dins l'espai escènic consisteix en un constant viatge amunt i avall d'una escala amenaçadora que domina el camp de visió dels espectadors. L'escala és potser l'únic objecte estable sobre l'escenari i actua com un lloc de transició i un pont espaciotemporal entre el món innocent del nen (a dalt) …

"Ersatz Comedy In The Third Reich", William Grange Prof. Dr.

Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film: Faculty Publications and Creative Activity

The idea performing comedy, and performing a lot of comedy, during one the most systematic reigns of terror the world has ever known may at first blush seem somewhat degraded. The perception of most people, especially in the English-speaking world, is that “German comedy” in the first place is an oxymoron. The fact is, however, that 42,000 productions were staged between 1933 and 1944 in the Third Reich, and the majority of them were comedies. The most frequently performed were plays by the now forgotten likes of August Hinrichs, Maximilian Böttcher, and Fritz Peter Buch, Jochen Huth, and Charlotte Rissmann. …

One Of Tennessee's Women, Jeanne Chinn

Theses

The Library of Congress lists over eighty books that deal exclusively with Tennessee Williams. A vast number of these books cover anecdotal information about Tennessee's personal life, experiences, and relationships through his emotionally turbulent life. A great deal of biographical material presents conflicting accounts and many authors claim to have " the real story'' on Tennessee's life and loves.

If the reader is interested in titillating tidbits on Tennessee, this is not the paper to read. However, Mr. Tennessee Williams wrote from bis heart and his life experiences. Because of this, attention needs to be paid to how he drew …

A Fragment From Act Ii Of Giacomo Puccini's La Boheme, Linda B. Fairtile

University Libraries Faculty and Staff Publications

This manuscript transmits ten measures from the so-called "Sextet" in the opera's second act, corresponding to pages 207 (measure 2) through 210 (measure 1) of the current published orchestral score. The passage forms part of the middle section of a tripartite structure that begins and ends with the renowned "Musetta's Waltz" ("Quando m'en vo"). At this point in the plot, the inhabitants of Paris's Latin Quarter, gathering to celebrate Christmas Eve at the Cafe Momus, witness the spectacle of Musetta's successful attempt to win back her lover. The section as a whole presented a problem for Puccini's librettists, who had …

Contemporary Romanian Theatre: Artistry, Honesty, And Adaptation In The Plays Of Iosif Naghiu, Dumitru Radu Popescu And Marin Sorescu, Eric Pourchot

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This study examines the plays and productions of three contemporary Romanian playwrights—Iosif Naghiu, Dumitru Radu Popescu, and Marin Sorescu—as they reflect the changing cultural policies and climate of Romania from 1968 to 1998. The three case studies demonstrate that, faced with harsh political censorship during the Ceausescu years and economic difficulties since the overthrow of communism in 1989, contemporary Romanian drama and theatre has nevertheless maintained an artistic merit and integrity deserving of wider acknowledgment. Romanian directors are well-known internationally but, paradoxically, the drama of Romania, despite close linguistic connections to Western Europe, has received far less attention than has …

The "Confessing Animal" On Stage: Authenticity, Asceticism, And The Constant "Inconstancie" Of Elizabethan Character, Peter Iver Kaufman

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

For persons persuaded by the rhetoric of sixteenth-century religious reformers, authenticity was a complex matter of access to the reality of divinity. George Levin's paper on empiricist "habits of mind" seems a strange place to start elaborating on that observation, for such "habits" look to be worlds apart from what I study, the sixteenth-century Calvinist adaptations of patristic and medieval ascetic spirituality. Yet Levin maintains that he has identified empiricism's near-ascetic techniques. "To know nature," he claims, "one must make it alien ... and deny one's own desire." If he is correct about "the programmatically self-alienating" character of "the positivist …

The Women Of The Ten, Twent', Thirt': Popular Melodrama Theatre In Turn-Of-The-Century New York, Barbara Meredith Waldinger

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

During the first decade of the twentieth century, when the population of New York City was growing by leaps and bounds because of immigration, urbanization, and industrialization, a short-lived theatre movement known as the "ten-twenty-thirty," or, more familiarly, the "ten, twent', thirt," was born. Originally named for the low prices of the tickets, the term came to encompass various types of touring companies that travelled throughout the country, resident stock companies, and hundreds of plays, mostly melodramas, written expressly for this movement. Created by enterprising producers, managers, and playwrights, the ten, twent', thirt' catered to the needs of the working-class …

Sex, Violence, And Hand Puppets: History And Structure Of Punch And Judy Performance Tradition, James Robert Davis

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Punch and Judy are characters who exist only within the boundaries of the puppet theatre, in performances where characters are portrayed by inanimate figures. Nonetheless, the history of the puppet theatre, and particularly that of Punch and Judy, is closely related to the history of more widely accepted, actor-based theatre, where characters are portrayed by human beings. While the two traditions-share many common elements--such as the importance of characterization, direction, and design--the essential difference between actor-theatre and puppetry is the manner in which the performance is presented. The approach of this study is threefold: first, a linear history of the …

Scenes From The Contemporary Barcelona Stage: La Fura Dels Baus's Aspiration To The Authentic, Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

In October 1983, just south of Barcelona at the annual Sitges Theatre Festival, beneath the railroad tracks in the claustrophobic space of a subterranean pedestrian passageway, La Fura dels Baus erupted into public view with an embryonic version of their first major spectacle, entitled Accions ("Actions"). The performance was conceived along the same aesthetic lines that continue to shape even the most recent work of this Catalan company. Accions consisted of a series of transgressive and, at times, startling exercicis pràctics ("practical exercises") intended to elicit an impulsive, visceral response from audience members. In their program notes, La Fura defined …
