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: 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. -
THE TELEVISION ANNUAL for 196O the Most Eminent Actors and Actresseson the British Stage Nowadays Appear in Television
THE TELEVISION ANNUAL FOR 196o The most eminent actors and actresseson the British stage nowadays appear in television. Vivien Leigh chose the unusual playThe Skin of Our Teeth,when she appeared for Granada. According to the "audience ratings", however,the play was not popular with viewers. THE TV REVOLUTION KENNETH BAILYSurveys the Non -Stop Development of British Television THE expansion of television, in numbers of viewers and in organization behind the programmes, has made a rapid spurt. In size and complexity, what is involved in television today was undreamed of only five years ago. Gone for ever are the days when every viewer knew where each programme was coming from, and knew that the BBC was responsible for all that he saw. Today many a viewer finds himself lost in a tangle of symbols like ATV, AR, ABC, TTT, TWW, and more; understanding of what goes on is fogged by varied "channel" numbers; by such slogans as "Granada from the North" when the programme comes from Chelsea; and by a mixture of ITV "boss" names always popping up in the press, like Parnell, Bernstein, Grade, Brownrigg and Adorian. Those old familiar names, Alexandra Palace and Lime Grove, which once meant the absolute source of all British television, are now lost among the mostly unnamed and little publicised studios of ITV in London and the provinces. And much that is seen comes out of film cans from Hollywood, New York, Elstree and Teddington, produced out of a vortex of film -cum -TV financiers, producers, distributors and others. The maze of operations which is television today contrasts sharply with the tiny beginning, and the slow start. -
Interview with Maurice Stewart
THEATRE ARCHIVE PROJECT http://sounds.bl.uk Maurice Stewart – interview transcript Interviewer: Kate Harris 17 August 2006 Actor and Stage Manager. Audiences; Michael Bentall; Berliner Ensemble; Peter Daubeny; directing Shakespeare; Jack Hylton; Italia Conti Stage School; Look Back in Anger; new plays; Oklahoma!; Old Vic; repertory; revue; stratification of theatre; television; tours; Sam Wanamaker; World Theatre seasons. KH: I would just like to start off with a question about how you first began working in theatre. MS: Ah, an interesting one, because I thought it was all my idea. But I was 17 before I realised that my mother had wanted to go into the theatre and had been refused permission by her father, and I think before I was born she knew that I was going into the theatre, so it was quite a conditioning process. But it was very early. KH: OK, because then you went to the Italia Conti Stage School didn't you when you were quite young? MS: Yes. Well, that was at the age of 12, but before that I had been performing with a children's group which really was quite an extraordinary range of singing and dancing and doing pantomimes in working men’s clubs, and then when I went to secondary modern school I found myself playing the leads in fully mounted Gilbert and Sullivan productions… KH: Gosh! MS: …so by the time I was 11 I was very seasoned. KH: Yes, you were a seasoned performer. MS: And I went down to London on my own from Leicester at the age of 12 and stayed in digs and went to a stage school, so one becomes very self-sufficient very early. -
