What is "real" is a question that is repeatedly reconsidered in theater history as well as dramatic criticism and that figures as subject matter in works from Shakespeare through Pirandello to Suzan­ Loci Parks. What is real and how do theater and performance represent or negotiate the real? What is the relationship of the real to reproduction? How has the advent of technology impacted on our concepts of the real?

  • The Beatles, Instrumentals En Fora Mei 2009
    L.M. van der Schoot The Beatles, Instrumentals en fora mei 2009 The Beatles, Instrumentals en Fora L.M. van der Schoot Studentnummer: 0456659. Begeleiding: Joke Dame Cursusnaam: MA Thesis Muziekwetenschap. Cursuscode: 200501202. Universiteit Utrecht; Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen; opleiding Muziekwetenschap. Datum: mei 2009. 1 Lotte van der Schoot The Beatles, Instrumentals en Google Maart 2009 “Anyone tackling the oft-told tale of John, Paul, George and Ringo had better come up with a new angle, or new facts, or new interviews, or new something - or risk suffering the wrath of zillions of Beatles nuts.” Kirkus Reviews 2007, Academic Search Elite 2 L.M. van der Schoot The Beatles, Instrumentals en fora mei 2009 Woord vooraf Aan het begin van collegejaar 2008/2009 heb ik een cursus popmuziek gevolgd. Deze cursus had als onderwerp 'the popular instrumental'. Uit onderzoek voor deze paper kwam naar voren dat de bekendste popgroep aller tijden - The Beatles - ook instrumentale songs hebben geschreven. Mijn interesse was gewekt, te meer omdat ik de Beatles voornamelijk kende van nummers zoals 'Hey Jude', 'Yesterday' en 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. Deze fameuze popgroep heeft dus eveneens andersoortige nummers geschreven. In deze thesis wil ik geen 'herziene' versie maken van informatie die al tot in den treuren is uitgeplozen. Dit is echter niet eenvoudig, maar 'instrumentale nummers' is één van de onderwerpen die als onderwerp op zichzelf, nooit onderzocht is. In de hoogtij dagen van The Beatles – de jaren 1960 – zijn er maar op 3 albums instrumentals terug te vinden. De bekendste is waarschijnlijk 'Revolution 9' van de White Album (1968). Verder staat op het album Magical Mystery Tour (1967) het nummer 'Flying'.

CAL PERFORMANCES 15 PROGRAM PROGRAM SÉQUENCE D HE MEETING OF TWO personalities is like the contact of two chemical Tsubstances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.”—C. G. Jung Our eighth and newest creation carries emotional dynamics to a point of explosion and propulsion. In this show we find emotions so heightened they spring into action, re- lationships that transform and evolve until they create actual velocity. Set not in a specific time or place but rather on a vertical canvas of sorts, this acrobatic dance and theater piece contemplates the role of the “other,” and how we define ourselves through and against it.

  • Final Degree Dissertation
    UNIVERSIDAD PONTIFICIA COMILLAS Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales Bachelor’s Degree in International Relations Final Degree Dissertation A LOCATION ANALYSIS FOR CIRQUE DU SOLEIL’S ESTABLISHMENT OF RESIDENT SHOWS Student: María Domínguez Pérez Supervisor: Santiago Urío Rodríguez Madrid, April 2018 “They can do anything, from a permanent location on Broadway, to a traveling show that pops into towns for two to three weeks, to a show that just appears for a day on a football field. That is easy to say and very hard to execute” - Dawn Hudson (cited in Rastello, 2017) - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I would like to thank Santiago Urío for his constant support and guidance, not only throughout the elaboration of this dissertation, but also during the past couple of years. Through his lessons and expertise, I have been able to discover my passion for International Strategy and Business Management, which I hope to develop further during my professional career. In addition, a special thanks to Jesús Méndez for always lending an ear and for encouraging me to strive for excellence and pursue my dreams of working for a major entertainment firm such as Cirque du Soleil. Finally, to my family for their words of encouragement and unconditional support. Thank you for helping me find my way out of the most stressful moments during the year. Abstract With the development of the international business field, the study of location gained importance. It began to distinguish between firms that initiated their internationalisation process to reduce production costs and those that did it in order to access new markets.

  • Who Is Stage Technologies?
    Who is Stage Technologies?

A long-term promoter of stage engineering in the world of performance, Stage Technologies has evolved hand-in-hand with, and been a key developer of, this exciting market. On more than one occasion it has been the only theatre automation supplier capable of delivering a complex brief and create industry firsts in live entertainment. Founded in 1994, it is now a global organisation with projects in over 30 countries, encompassing a worldwide network driven by offices in London, Las Vegas, Macau, Hong Kong, and Australia. Engineering Precision Stage Technologies produces mechanical solutions for theatre automation which can encompass ‘power flying’ (the professional terminology for lifting and moving scenic items and performers above a stage) and designing, building and installing stage machinery, wagons, and powered track drives to operate quick scene changes and other dramatic effects. The degree of precision required for these operations is a major engineering challenge, which is why Stage Technologies are involved in high-energy performance spectaculars such as “The Desktop Engineering Ltd, 6-7 Bankside, Hanborough Business Park, Long Hanborough Oxfordshire OX29 8LJ Tel: 01993 883555 www.dte.co.uk LinkedIn | Twitter | G+ Han Show” and various productions by the Cirque du Soleil including IRIS, Viva ELVIS, KÀ and LOVE.
