It not only tells you the story of her life but Loris Ferrari made us aware of this one also discusses her autobiography and corrects some facts the lady wrote about herself and her career.

However completely missing is Mercedes life as part of the entourage of Erich Maria Remarque and Marlene.

After being demobbed he returned to the Royal College to complete his studies. He then went to work at Denham Film Studios under Muir Mathieson, where he wrote music for documentary films. These included “The True Face of Japan” (1949), describing the changes that had taken place in postwar Japan, for which he had to use Western instruments to make Japanese-sounding music. He also arranged and orchestrated Noël Coward's music for “The Astonished Heart”. Through his wife, the conductor Joan Kemp Potter, whom he had met at the Royal College, Blezard met Donald Swann; and through Swann he was introduced to Joyce Grenfell. He performed with her for the next two decades all over the world. He accompanied the musical sections of her recitals, joined her for duets and later had a solo, the only slot for which he used music. In 1957 Blezard had worked as musical director with Laurence Olivier in John Osborne's The Entertainer, at the Royal Court and in New York, playing the piano, conducting and Theuns Els from South Africa sends this serving as a musical adviser.

  • Short Time Space the Gallery of Photography In

    Short Time Space the Gallery of Photography In

    Short Time Space The Gallery of Photography in Dublin is designed like a camera. Its large picture win - dow on the first floor, above the entrance foyer, opens to a spacious inner chamber. The width of this aperture, however, resembles less the keyhole function of the tradi - tional lens, more the image screen on the back of todayʼs digital cameras. Old tech - nology gives way to new forms of visualising and recording what the camera sees. Indeed the slight delay in capturing the digital image, as the pixel grid adjusts minutely to the light conditions once the shutter is pressed, coincidentally introduces the element of time so central to Sigune Hamannʼs art. Duration, the passing of time in the fixing of the image and the passing of still more time in the perception and rec - ollection of the original event is flagged by the length of the photographic montage she has placed within the galleryʼs picture window. Simultaneously visible from inside and outside the space, it reveals the mechanics of how cameras record images. It also introduces the element of performance that runs through her work and invites an active response from the visitor, breaking down the separate spaces occupied by the work and its viewers. In Hamannʼs early collaborations working with composers and dancers, her designs framed and supported the dramaturgy originated by and with others. More recently, the separation of the performersʼ space from the audience at the edge of the stage or by the proscenium arch has yielded to the artistʼs engage - ment with art made directly in public spaces, often with the artist herself undertaking actions that define the work as something unfolding, something to be perceived over time in the space we all occupy.

    Filmography V6.Indd

    a filmography Foreword by The Irish Film Institute For over 60 years, the Irish Film Institute has been dedicated to the promotion of film culture in Ireland and therefore is proud to present this filmography of Samuel Beckett’s work. Beckett remains one of Ireland’s most important and influential artists and Samuel Beckett – A Filmography provides a snapshot of the worldwide reach and enduring nature of his creativity. As part of the Beckett centenary celebrations held in April 2006, the Irish Film Institute organised a diverse programme of films relating to the work of Beckett, including a tour of the line-up to cinemas around the country. Prior to this, the Irish Film Institute provided the unique opportunity to view all 19 films in the ‘Beckett on Film’ series by screening the entire selection in February 2001. This filmography provides the perfect accompaniment to these previous programmes and it illustrates that Beckett’s work will continue to be adapted for film and television worldwide for years to come. Photograph by Richard Avedon Samuel Beckett – A Filmography was made possible though the kind support of the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism and the Beckett Centenary Council and Festival Committee. Mark Mulqueen Director, The Irish Film Institute An Introduction Compiling a filmography of Beckett’s work is both a challenging and daunting prospect. It was important, from the outset, to set some parameters for this filmography. Therefore, to this end, I decided to focus on the key area of direct adaptations of Beckett’s work filmed for cinema or television.

  • Krapp's Last Tape in Great Britain

    Krapp's Last Tape in Great Britain

    Krapp’s Last Tape in Great Britain: Production History amid Changing Practice Andrew Head As a mainstay of Beckett’s dramatic canon, productions of Krapp’s Last Tape occupy an enduring position in the history of post-war British theatre. Written during the flowering of new English playwriting centred on the Royal Court Theatre and emerging as one of Beckett’s major theatrical successes of the 1950s, the play continues to resonate and is often programmed as part of live events. Whether as part of planned repertory seasons in metropolitan or regional theatres; as part of an ever-burgeoning national festival culture; or when presented on alternative media platforms such as film or television, the play lends itself to differing cultural gatherings that are often quite removed from its theatrical origins. The varied and diverse contexts within which Beckett’s relatively short work for the stage has been performed since its genesis speak as much about the logistical and practical expediencies afforded by the text as they do of the play’s richly lyrical and wistfully autobiographical content. In addition to the play’s extended monologue of regret for an ultimately unfulfilled life, the work offers much in terms of its portability in production and the potential it has for presentation in a wide range of venues and performance contexts. This has led to its life in performance being framed in ways that have shifted according to venue and audience. The play can be regarded simultaneously as both a product of twentieth-century avant-garde performance practice – in which its position within Beckett’s oeuvre cements its status as a significant work in the wider context of twentieth-century drama – as well as an example of innovative civic arts provision for local and provincial audiences.

And first of all, I just want to check with you, Barry, that it’s OK for me to… for this interview to be used for the British Library Theatre Project and for future generations to access information about what it was like to appear in Variety? BC: Yes. Fully agreed. SB: Good. First of all, can I just ask you how you came to be in show business… whether you had any family involved with it at all or… How did it start? BC: Yes, my mother was in show business. She did an act called The Three Hats. As far as I can remember her sister was part of the act – I don’t know who the third one was – and they used to bring me up out of the audience as a naughty little schoolboy. They used to do a lot of juggling and knock-about. SB: Oh. BC: But I used to come and just interfere with the act, which at the time was a very popular style of working… Due, a lot, to Fred Karno, who had this show called Fred Karno’s Speechless Comedians which, as it says, is just comedians that were totally visual and this was a visual… I used to talk quite a bit.

Funny Walking: The Rise, Fall and Rise of the Anglo-American Comic Eccentric Dancer Abstract This article considers the (seemingly) lost art of comic eccentric dance. As a form of popular entertainment, comic eccentric dancing is generally assumed to be an early to mid-twenti- eth century phenomenon that emerged in the UK from the late Victorian Music Hall period and remained unchanged throughout the Variety period, only to disappear in the era of new mass media’s lack of appetite for ‘turns’ and speciality acts. However, is comic eccentric dance really a lost performance form? Can incarnations of the form really be considered as obsolete and archaic as such routines as, say, mesmerism, blackface or budgerigar acts? This article will attempt to reposition comic eccentric dance as a metamorphic form that still, surprisingly, exists, and is to be found with reasonable ubiquity, in renewed incarna- tions within twenty first century media.
