A Midsummer Night’S Dream

Taylor Theatre Playbills

The playbill for Taylor University’s Spring 1986 performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare.

Enter a vibrant world where fairies fly overhead, a donkey bursts into song, and love potion makes your perspective turn on a dime. This production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is an immersive theatrical experience …

Creative Movement For Everyone, Robbie Scoggins

Theses

Robbie Scoggins’ thesis explores the transformative potential of creative movement and inclusive dance education. Centered on her culminating project, Bodies in Motion, the work documents the process of conceptualizing, choreographing, rehearsing, and staging four unique dance compositions performed by beginning students. These pieces—ranging from rhythmic rounds to satirical mimes and collaborative visual works—served not only as performance but as a pedagogical tool. Scoggins reflects on her evolving philosophy that dance should be a democratic art form, open to all regardless of technical training or physical ideal. Drawing from historical precedents like Isadora Duncan and educators like Barbara Mettler, she …

Robinson also examines her directorial process in staging A …

Ibsen's Stagecraft: The Symbolic Setting, Julie Lorraine Thompson

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Henrik Ibsen's critics have long acknowledged his mastery of the stage, that is, his use of the physical and off-stage settings, architectural details, props, and space as symbol. However, study of Ibsen's symbolic settings has been limited to one play or to aspects of his stagecraft in general terms. Peter Tenant's Ibsen's Dramatic Technique discusses the settings and stage directions of his major plays as they relate to plot and theme. In Patterns of Ibsen's Middle Plays, Richard Hornby studies the settings and scenic background only for An Enemy of the People. Edward Beyer in Ibsen's The Man And His …
