Encore Arts San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO’S PREMIER NONPROFIT THEATER COMPANY THE BIRTHDAY PARTY JAN 2018 SEASON 51, ISSUE 4 BY QUI NGUYEN DIRECTED BY JAIME CASTAÑEDA Vietgone is not your typical how-Mom- met-Dad story. Not unless they hit it off at a refugee camp in Arkansas. But that’s the story of playwright Qui Nguyen’s parents, who fell in love against all odds. Fleeing war-torn Vietnam, Tong and Quang navigate the unfamiliar landscape of 1970s America. As they learn more about the culture of this new land, they ponder what “home” really means. Is home a place, a person, a feeling? Bending genres and breaking rules, Nguyen’s cheeky retelling of his own family story skips through time and “A raucous, immensely moving comedy.” Charles Isherwood, The New York Times BEGINS FEBRUARY 21 A.C.T.’S STRAND THEATER act-sf.org/vietgone | 415.749.2228 “Hip, high-wire theatricality . sultry sexiness . quirky playfulness.” The Seattle Times bounces between borders, cracking Winner of the 2016 Harold and Mimi jokes along the way.

  • Eugenie Pastor-Phd Thesis Moving Intimacies
    MOVING INTIMACIES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF “PHYSICAL THEATRES” IN FRANCE AND THE UNITED KINGDOM EUGÉNIE FLEUR PASTOR ROYAL HOLLOWAY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON DEPARTMENT OF DRAMA AND THEATRE A Thesis submitted as a partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Ph.D. August 2014 1 DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Eugénie Fleur Pastor, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: 7 August 2014 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is an exploration of movement in contemporary “physical theatres”. I develop a renewed understanding of “physical theatres” as embodied framework to experience both spectatorship and theatre-making. I analyse how, in this type of performance, movement blurs distinctions between the intimate and the collective, the inside and the outside, thus challenging definitions of intimacy and tactility. The thesis consists of a comparative study of examples of “physical theatres”, in the 21st century, in France and in the UK. The comparison highlights that “physical theatres” practitioners are under-represented in France, a reason I attribute in part to a terminological absence in the French language. The four case studies range from itinerant company Escale and their athletic embodiment of a political ideal to Jean Lambert-wild’s theatre of “micro-movement”, from Told by an Idiot’s position in a traditional theatre context in the UK to my own work within Little Bulb Theatre, where physicality is virtuosic in its non- virtuosity. For each case study, I use a methodology that echoes this exploration of movement and reflects my position within each fieldwork.

  • Scary Movie 5 (2013) Una Parodia a Tutto Campo Che Si Avvale Dell'efficace Ritmo Della Versione Italiana
    Scary Movie 5 (2013) Una parodia a tutto campo che si avvale dell'efficace ritmo della versione italiana. Un film di Malcolm D. Lee con Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen, Terry Crews, Kate Walsh, Ashley Tisdale, Jerry O'Connell, Molly Shannon, Heather Locklear, Chris Elliott, Simon Rex. Genere Commedia durata 85 minuti. Produzione USA 2013. Uscita nelle sale: giovedì 18 aprile 2013 Tra rivisitazioni geniali e battute a doppio senso, nel quinto episodio della saga demenziale horror più amata i protagonisti del cinema sono nuovamente sostituiti dalla loro folle controfigura. Giancarlo Zappoli - www.mymovies.it Dopo che Charlie Sheen (che interpreta se stesso) è stato ucciso da un fantasma nella sua camera da letto in cui si stava dando da fare con Lindsay Lohan (anche lei nei propri succinti panni) i suoi tre figli vengono rapiti e ritrovati dopo qualche tempo in un'abitazione nel bosco. Sono affidati allo zio Dan e a sua moglie Jody ma ben presto appare chiaro che con loro è entrato nella casa anche uno spirito malvagio. Così sia il lavoro di Dan (che sta testando droghe sugli scimpanzé per sviluppare la loro intelligenza) che le aspirazioni di Jody di diventare l'etoile nel balletto in cui danza subiscono forti interferenze. Parodia. Il Dizionario della Lingua Italiana Sabatini Colletti a questa voce precisa: "Versione comica, caricaturale di un'opera letteraria, di una canzone, di un film". Dal lontano 2000 quando i Wayans, Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer si divertirono a divertire il pubblico con sberleffi mirati ai film horror di successo dell'epoca, con cadenza regolare la parodia dei blockbuster non solo orrorifici ha i suoi appassionati fan.
