  • The Ideal of Ensemble Practice in Twentieth-Century British Theatre, 1900-1968 Philippa Burt Goldsmiths, University of London P
    The Ideal of Ensemble Practice in Twentieth-century British Theatre, 1900-1968 Philippa Burt Goldsmiths, University of London PhD January 2015 1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own and has not been and will not be submitted, in whole or in part, to any other university for the award of any other degree. Philippa Burt 2 Acknowledgements This thesis benefitted from the help, support and advice of a great number of people. First and foremost, I would like to thank Professor Maria Shevtsova for her tireless encouragement, support, faith, humour and wise counsel. Words cannot begin to express the depth of my gratitude to her. She has shaped my view of the theatre and my view of the world, and she has shown me the importance of maintaining one’s integrity at all costs. She has been an indispensable and inspirational guide throughout this process, and I am truly honoured to have her as a mentor, walking by my side on my journey into academia. The archival research at the centre of this thesis was made possible by the assistance, co-operation and generosity of staff at several libraries and institutions, including the V&A Archive at Blythe House, the Shakespeare Centre Library and Archive, the National Archives in Kew, the Fabian Archives at the London School of Economics, the National Theatre Archive and the Clive Barker Archive at Rose Bruford College. Dale Stinchcomb and Michael Gilmore were particularly helpful in providing me with remote access to invaluable material held at the Houghton Library, Harvard and the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, Austin, respectively.

  • President's Letter
    PRESIDENT’S LETTER October-November, 2020 Dear Friends, It may seem a little premature to extend our very best wishes to you now for the approaching holidays, Christmastime and the New Year. However, this has indeed been a strange year like no other. As this is the final Foundation Newsletter of 2020, it is our pleasure to wish you, our Friends, perhaps the earliest but warmest greetings for the forthcoming festive season. OUR HALLS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUNDS OF MUSIC Responding to the present urgent need for accessible and affordable teaching, coaching and rehearsal space, the Foundation continues to make the Seaborn Library, with its grand piano and suitable acoustic, available to performing artists. As mentioned in the last Newsletter, Les Solomon's riveting production of The Cradeaux Canvas rehearsed in our Library and then opened successfully in the El Rocco Theatre Room in Kings Cross to claim the title of the first production to open Sydney theatres after the COVID closures. Those of us who attended a special benefit night for the ABF’s ACTober, were impressed by the actors’ compelling performances - and safety protocols. One reviewer noted the performance was ‘safer than the supermarket’. Other theatres are now gradually and tentatively reopening. Similarly, Eugene Lynch and his cast, pictured elsewhere in this Newsletter, after rehearsing in our Library, presented the first opera since the venue shutdown. Their short season of the Australian opera Love Burns at the East Sydney Community & Arts Centre, also presented according to safety guidelines, revealed the exciting emergence of a new generation of brilliant young talent.
