Melissa Tyler encoded the finding aid. Biographical Narrative New York theater producer and director Geraldine Lust (1920-1987) began her career in modern dance and choreography. The daughter of theater chain owner Sydney Lust, she studied acting and directing. She then worked for producer Dale Wasserman on Broadway, a connection she maintained. In 1950, Lust established classes for Stella Adler's drama school. For the next ten years, she produced and directed off-Broadway plays. She also directed plays for Julian Beck and Judith Malina, founders and directors of the Living Theatre, and created a school for the company. While at the Living Theatre, Lust developed an Artaud Workshop based on Antonin Artaud's "Theater of Cruelty." Lust obtained the American rights to French author and playwright Jean Genet's The Blacks in 1960. With Lust as co-producer, the play opened on May 4, 1961 and ran for four years off-Broadway at St. Mark's Playhouse in New York City. Theater historians credit The Blacks with starting the "black movement" in American theater. While Genet's attempt to define the black experience angered African American critics, the play provided a showcase for the all-black cast, as well as steady employment. The cast included James Earl Jones, Roscoe Lee Brown, Lou Gossett Jr., Cicely Tyson, Godfrey Cambridge, and Maya Angelou. In 1963, Lust directed plays for the newly established Open Theater. She conducted an Artaud Workshop and a teenage workshop for the Open Theater. Beginning in 1967, Lust attempted for several years to produce a college tour revival of The Blacks and a film version of Genet's The Screens, both of which proved unsuccessful.

Hernández Adrián An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University 2009 Copyright by Kadji Amin 2009 Abstract This dissertation explores the concept of agential abjection through Jean Genet’s involvement with and writings about the struggles of disenfranchised and pathologized peoples. Following Julia Kristeva, Judith Butler has argued that modern subjectivity requires the production of a domain of abjected beings denied subjecthood and forced to live "unlivable" lives. "Agencies of Abjection" brings these feminist theories of abjection to bear on multiple coordinates of social difference by exploring forms of abjection linked to sexuality, criminality, colonialism, and racialization. Situating Genet within an archive that includes the writings of former inmates of penal colonies, Francophone intellectuals, and Black Panther Party members, I analyze both the historical forces that produce abjection and the collective forms of agency that emerge from subaltern social forms.

  • Jerome Robbins Began His Journey As a Dancer in the Ballet Theatre Company, Which Would Later Be Renamed the American Ballet Theatre
    Jerome Robbins began his journey as a dancer in the Ballet Theatre Company, which would later be renamed the American Ballet Theatre. The company produced classical ballets, but also encouraged innovative work. When the company faced financial problems and had to bring in new managment, Jerome grew weary of only performing in pieces that told stories of the past. Thus, Fancy Free was born. Premiered in April of 1944, Fancy Free was a revolutionary ballet that focused on telling the story of the modern men and women in New York. The three main characters were created specifically for himself and two of his close friends. A big focus of his was to properly convey the characters so that the audience had a clear understanding of them. It was a new idea, telling the stories of the present day, but he was not alone in this movement. Other choreographers, such as Agnes De Mille and Antony Tudor, were also producing these kinds of works. Though his dancers were performing difficult choreography, it was important to him that they still seemed like real people. His rehearsals tended to run longer than most simply because he wanted to perfect the “attitudes” conveyed in the piece. Eventually, Fancy Free became the basis of the musical On the Town, thus launching his career in musical theatre. Some of his most notable works on Broadway were West Side Story, Fiddler On the Roof, and The Pajama Game. When working on West Side Story, in order to facilitate the hostility between the on-stage gangs, they were not permitted to associate with each other off-stage.

Since the action took place in a boat on the open sea, where would the music come from? Raksin reportedly responded by asking Hitchcock where the cameras came from. This course examines film sound practices, focusing on cross-modal perception and cognition: on ways in which sounds influence what we “see” and images influence what we “hear.” Classes are conducted in a lecture format and involve multimedia demonstrations. We will be tackling the following questions: • How and why does music and sound effects work in films? • How did they come to be paired with the motion picture? • How did film sound conventions develop and what are their theoretical, socio-cultural, and cognitive bases? • How does non-speech sound contribute to a film’s narrative and how can such contribution be creatively explored? Aesthetics of the Motion Picture Soundtrack – Spring 2014 – Section 01 Page 1 of 12 COURSE DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES Course examines Classical Hollywood as well as more recent film soundtrack practices, focusing on the interpretation of film sound relative to ‘expectancy’ theories of meaning and emotion.

  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.
