  • Examining Flux in Choreographic Practice
    THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER Faculty of Arts Evolving Motion: Examining Flux in Choreographic Practice Catherine Rachael Wendy Seago Doctor of Philosophy by Works in the Public Domain October 2014 This Thesis has been completed as a requirement for a postgraduate research degree of the University of Winchester 2 THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FOR THESIS Evolving Motion: Examining Flux in Choreographic Practice Catherine Rachael Wendy Seago Faculty of Arts Doctor of Philosophy by Works in the Public Domain October 2014 The research which is embedded in this thesis through the dances and the context statement is about my experience of dancing and dance-making. During the process of making dances there is a sense of messiness in not knowing what is emerging. In the process of writing this document I have had to shift my experience in order to perceive the messiness and to reflect on how I work with it. The reflection on dance-making has enabled me to notice that the messiness arises from the tensions between the somatic, aesthetic, interpretive and inseparable experiences in performing, creating and receiving dance. This context statement tries to negotiate the messiness by examining my modes of engagement and the intensity of my focus through them over time. As a result the context statement reflects on the flow of change within these aspects of my practice and its impact on the aesthetic of the emergent work. A diagram has been designed to illustrate how unexpected occurrences happen through the continuously flowing change. This is referred to as flux. It happens through a moment of action, attention or connection.

Assistant Director Assists the Director (qv) by taking notes on all moves and other decisions and keeping them together in one copy of the script (the Prompt Copy (qv)). In some companies this is done by the Stage Manager (qv), because there is no assistant. Assistant Stage Manager (ASM) Another name for stage crew (usually, in the professional theatre, also an understudy for one of the minor roles who is, in turn, also understudying a major role). The lowest rung on the professional theatre ladder. Auditorium The part of the theatre in which the audience sits. Also known as the House. Backing Flat A flat (qv) which stands behind a window or door in the set (qv). Banjo Not the musical instrument! A rail along which a curtain runs.

  • Theatre Student Handbook
    Theatre Department Student Handbook 13th Edition, August 1, 2019 MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Midwestern State University Theatre is to advance the study and presentation of live theatre, with an emphasis on creative process. In the classroom, on the stage, or behind the scenes, we will do our best to bring credit to our art form and to enlighten ourselves and those we entertain. To succeed, we must reject the gratification of ego and embrace unselfish cooperation, for ours is a collaborative art form. We must also take risks by allowing theatre to open our minds or disturb our audiences when such risks can promote a more tolerant, inclusive society.
