The Business Of Theatre: How Creativity, Collaboration, And Communication Infiltrate 'The Real World', Caroline Hale
Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters
Too often ridiculed as a “dying art”, theatre endures a ceaseless struggle for validity among educators, employers, and citizens alike. However, the skills garnered by performers, technicians, and designers through theatrical education span far beyond the final curtain, and are significantly more relevant and impactful than we think.
A theatre education means learning about the human condition, communication, gaining self-confidence, expressing creativity, problem solving, and thinking on your feet. In addition, drama techniques have been enormously effective in improving self-esteem and building community. A theatre education is a highly successful catalyst for the development of a “soft skill set.” Because …

The Merchant Of Venice

THE MERCHANT OF VENICE by William Shakespeare
Directed by Thomas F. Bradac and starring Michael Nehring as Shylock
Bassanio, needing money to be a suitor to Portia, asks his close friend, Antonio, for a loan. Antonio's money is tied up in shipments away from Venice so he approaches Shylock, a money-lender. After being insulted in the street by Antonio, Shylock agrees to lend the money, jesting that if Antonio does not pay it back by an appointed time, Shylock may cut a pound of flesh from him. Antonio agrees, and so begins one of Shakespeare's most brilliant comedies. The Merchant …
A Flea In Her Ear

A new version of Georges Feydeau's farce by David Ives
Directed by Tamiko Washington
Ives’ reimagining of the George Feydeau comedy is a farcical romp set in France at the turn of the 20th century. Raymonde Chandebise suspects her husband Victor is having an affair after he suddenly seems blasé about sex (though it’s actually due to a nervous condition). This sets off a whirlwind of comic mishaps, wild misunderstandings, and hilarious exchanges at the Frisky Puss Hotel!

L’Acteur Et Les Émotions Au Théâtre Et Au Cinéma, Ivan Magrin-Chagnolleau
L’Acteur Et Les Émotions Au Théâtre Et Au Cinéma, Ivan Magrin-Chagnolleau
Presidential Fellows Articles and Research
En tant qu’acteur, je m’intéresse aux émotions depuis longtemps. Je considère en effet qu’il s’agit du matériau brut de l’acteur. Je m’y intéresse également en tant que metteur en scène, puisque mon rôle est alors de faciliter l’émergence de l’émotion chez l’acteur que je mets en scène. Je vais donc mener dans cet article une discussion sur ce que sont les émotions pour un acteur et un metteur en scène, et la façon de les aborder. Je discuterai également, dans ce contexte, la question de l’artialisation des émotions, c’est-à-dire l’hypothèse selon laquelle l’art contribue à façonner nos émotions.

Dans cet article, je présente en détail l’exercice d’incorporation animale tel qu’il a été proposé par Lee Strasberg et est enseigné aux acteurs qui apprennent la méthode de l’Actors Studio. L’exercice est détaillé de telle sorte qu’une personne lisant cette description puisse le pratiquer elle-même. La première visée de cet article est donc didactique. Cet exercice est ensuite mis en perspective dans le cadre du travail d’un acteur, d’un metteur en scène, ou d’un coach d’acteur. Je montre comment l’utiliser concrètement dans un travail de construction de personnage. Je fais pour finir un lien entre la pratique de l’incorporation animale …
“The Modern Performance Art Vs. Traditional Theatre: The Division Between The Contemporary And The Conventional”, Sally Woo
Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters
Performance art and theatre are both rooted in the same practices and ideas. Performance art is an art form that utilizes the human body as a tool for creating art. It has no boundaries and past performance pieces have proven that the options are limitless. The human body acts as a type of canvas in which the artist manipulates however they wish, whether it is on the body itself or the movement or placement. Theatre does the same thing, using people to tell stories that illuminate real life situations in a scripted and rehearsed manner. However, while theatre has become …

Post-graduation job searching arrives too quickly in most college seniors’ lives, and many of us find ourselves unprepared when the time comes to actually find a career we want to commit to for an extended period of time. To commence this daunting quest, I have decided to explore a few alternative possibilities and options for professions that are related to my passions of theatre and music, but that are a bit more unorthodox, unexpected, and “outside the box.” To aid me in my search, I will communicate with several professional experts in their fields, gaining skilled and experienced opinions.

Cognitive Neurosciene And Its Applications To Contemporary Acting Theory, Ryan Stiffelman
Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters
I personally believe that anyone can be a performer so long as they have the determination, dedication, and refuse to take no for an answer. There are all kinds of training out there designed to help turn hopeful wannabes into the “stars” that we know them as, however, not every “star” we see has had this kind of training. We often hear of young actors like Jennifer Lawrence hailed for their “natural talent”. Does this mean there’s some kind of birth-right, a specific natural inclination or ability that makes someone a potentially great actor from the start? I will refer …

"Spectacular Opacities": The Hyers Sisters' Performances Of Respectability And Resistance, Jocelyn Buckner

This essay analyzes the Hyers Sisters, a Reconstruction-era African American sister act, and their radical efforts to transcend social limits of gender, class, and race in their early concert careers and three major productions, Out of Bondage and Peculiar Sam, or The Underground Railroad, two slavery-to-freedom epics, and Urlina, the African Princess, the first known African American play set in Africa. At a time when serious, realistic roles and romantic plotlines featuring black actors were nearly nonexistent due to the country’s appetite for stereotypical caricatures, the Hyers Sisters used gender passing to perform opposite one another as heterosexual lovers in …
