Taming 10 Things I Hate About You: Shakespeare And The Teenage Film Audience, L Monique Pittman

Faculty Publications

When I first paired William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew with Gil Junger’s film adaptation 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), my students’ responses to the juxtaposed works of art revealed a number of fascinating and deeply-rooted ideological conflicts. While more than willing to dissect the gender trouble readily observable in Shakespeare’s sixteenth-century play, my students resisted steadily any serious critique of the recent film version. The varied responses of my students coupled with their almost uniform approbation of the film and censure of the play prompt questions that lead the critic to speculation on the nature of …

Coal And Culture: Opera Houses In Appalachia, William Faricy Condee

Ohio University Press Open Access Books

Opera houses were fixtures of Appalachian life from the end of the Civil War through the 1920s. Most towns and cities had at least one opera house during this golden age. Coal mining and railroads brought travelers, money, and change to the region. Many aspects of American life converged in the opera house.

Coal and Culture: Opera Houses in Appalachia is a critical appreciation of the opera house in the coal-mining region of Appalachia from the mid-1860s to the early 1930s. Author William Faricy Condee demonstrates that these were multipurpose facilities that were central to the life of their communities. …

From Dramaturgy To Theatre As Technology: The Case Of Corporate Theatre, Timothy Adrian Robert Clark, Iain Mangham

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This article examines a piece of corporate theatre. Although theatre has entered organization studies through the dramatistic writing of Kenneth Burke and the dramaturgical writings of Erving Goffman, this article is concerned with an approach variously described as organizational, radical, situation or corporate theatre that treats theatre not primarily as a resource, an ontology or a metaphor but as a technology. This approach involves the deployment by an organization of dramatists, actors, directors, set designers, lighting specialists, and musicians to put on performances in front of audiences. Using frameworks derived from studies of theatre a particular piece of corporate theatre …

When The Carnival Is Over : Peter Barnes' Red Noses And The Theories Of Mikhail Bakhtin, Duncan A. Sharp

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Peter Barnes, acknowledged as one of Britain's most important contemporary playwrights, writes plays that are of an enormous scale, both physically and intellectually. Red Noses is one such play. Like Barnes' other works, Red Noses makes great technical demands on directors, designers, actors and audiences. As with all of Barnes' plays, Red Noses is, moreover, informed by a wide variety of theatrical styles. As Bernard Dukore (1990, p. 65) states, actors may be required to quickly "switch from intellectual discourse, to period argot, to poetry, to modern slang, to rhetoric, to musical comedy, to ritual, to dance, to opera, to …

Renaissance And Baroque Stage Technology And Its Meaning For Today's Theatre, Stan Kubalcik

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

This thesis seeks to address the understanding of the concept of old stage machinery. In addition, the research will determine the practical applications and meaning of old stage machinery for today's theatre. The approach to this topic will be more historical and practical than theoretical. A thorough examination of the history of theatre and stage technology is initially discussed. This is followed by an in-depth discussion of the practical component of this research and finally, the implications of this for today's theatre. Knowledge of traditional stage technology is a prerequisite for understanding the mechanics of stage technology today. A key …

Música, Espacio Escénico Y Estructura Dramática En El Jardín De Falerina De Calderón De La Barca, Alejandra Pacheco Y Costa

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

In 1934, Emilio Cotarelo described El Jardín de Falerina as the first theatrical work in which Calderón de la Barca essaied a new gender intended to be performed in Spanish Court, with a greater participatíon of music than any other work until its date, according to historian Cotarelo y Mori. The creation of this comedy was thus the beginning of a new dramatic gender: the zarzuela. During seventy years since Cotarelo's work, his opinion about the gender of El Jardín de Falerina has been worked out by several scholars, and the aim of the present work is to reconsider …

El Cumpleaños De La Abadesa: Una Loa De Alonso Martín Brahones En El Convento De Santa Inés De Sevilla (1671), Carmen Alarcón Román

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

The theatre staged in enclosed convents for women in Spanish Golden Age and XVIIIth century was an interesting dramatic practice that still remains almost unknown. Some plays were wntten, performed and directed by nuns themselves, but in other cases a professional poet was usually put in charge of the composition of these specific convent pieces that commemorated the taking of vows by a novice, Christmas Eve, Corpus Christi and other celebrations. One of these plays, which we are analyzed here, is a loa written by Alonso Martin Brahones in 1671 for the convent of Santa Inés of Seville, in honour …

La Propuesta Teatral De Los Teatros De Arte En España, Mar Rebollo Calzada

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

The Teatros de arte appear in Spain in the twilights of the 19th century as an offer of artistic renovation against commercial theatre, following the model of Antoine. During the twenties, this model of theatre develops the most innovative productions headed by Martínez Sierra, Rivas Cherif, and groups as El Mirlo Blanco or Fantasio. The alternative answers to commercial theatre promoted new ways of stage management, interpretation and scenographic solutions, inaugurating a route towards the aesthetic change and the education of the public.

From República Inmoral To La Peste Fascista: Agit-Prop Theatre Of The Second Republic, Catherine O'Leary

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

This article considers the relationship between culture, specifically the theatre, and the State during the Second Republic and analyses some of the work of certain writers who employed propagandistic theatre to fUrther their political aims. It examines the purpose, both political and artistic, of this theatre before going on to demonstrate how its reception by the state"s censors during the Second Republic and the early Civil War years mirrored the political changes and confusion of the period. Finally, some conclusions are drawn about the worth of this theatre, both as art and as social document.

Lorca, El Cubismo Y La Distorsión Del Tiempo, Huw Aled Lewis

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

Traditionally, Lorca"s plays Comedia sin titulo. El público, and Así que pasen cinco años have been analysed as experimental works that are radically different from his rural trilogy or other, more conventional works. This article will approach Así que pasen cinco años from a dífferent viewpoint, examining it as a direct precursor of Bodas de sangre and as an experiment not only in projecting the complexities of the human mind, but also as an attempt to translate to the theatre some of the ideas that have been associated with pictorial Cubism.

Tradicionalmente, obras lorquíanas como Comedia sin titulo, …
