Northwestern University, 1978 M.A.T. National-Louis University, 1985 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in the Department of Theatre in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2007 © 2007 Janet S. Raskin ii ABSTRACT This thesis will document the process of rehearsing and performing a one-woman show based on the life of the poet Emily Dickinson. The script is a cutting of the full-length play, The Belle of Amherst, written in 1976 by William Luce. This self-directed project will document the process that all actors use when developing a role. The first part of developing a role includes historical research, character analysis, and script analysis. The second phase is the rehearsal process. This includes developing the physical and vocal qualities of the character and staging the action of the play. Because this performance is self-directed and self-produced, this thesis will also discuss production aspects that a director or producer usually addresses: set design, lighting, sound design, costuming, publicity, and dramaturgy. A portion of the thesis is also devoted to analyzing the cuts made to the script, a task normally reserved for a playwright. A one-person show has some unique challenges for a performer. These challenges involve making choices about how to interact with the audience, how to transition from scene to scene, and how to incorporate imaginary characters into a one-sided conversation. The question of how to portray an historical figure in an accurate and entertaining way will also be discussed. Committee Chair Mark Brotherton will submit rehearsal reports documenting the last stages of rehearsals. Committee members Kate Ingram and Earl Weaver will submit their analysis of the performance. The thesis performance will take place on Friday, April 13 and Saturday, April 14, 2007 at in the Black Box Theatre at Valencia Community College East Campus. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank all those who contributed their insight and expertise in the process of developing this one-woman show for performance. Many thanks to Mark Brotherton whose keen sense of casting led him to suggest The Belle of Amherst, to Kate Ingram for her vocal coaching and acting guidance, to Julia Listengarten whose guidance in Research Methods helped me tackle the written portion, and to Earl Weaver whose great gift was to believe in me. I thank my hosts at Valencia Community College, Artistic Director Julia Gagne and Technical Director Kristen Able, for their generosity in allowing me to use the college's Black Box. My deep appreciation goes to stage manager Kira Ackbarali for running the show with style and grace. My everlasting gratitude goes to my mother, Dorothy Raskin, and my sister, Carol Kaminsky, without whom graduate school would have remained a dream unfulfilled. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES........................................................................................................................ vii CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION............................................................................................ 1 CHAPTER TWO: RESEARCH .................................................................................................... 3 Biography.................................................................................................................................... 3 Life Events.............................................................................................................................. 4 Relationships........................................................................................................................... 8 Education .............................................................................................................................. 16 Musical Influences................................................................................................................ 19 CHAPTER THREE: ANALYSIS................................................................................................ 21 Character Analysis.................................................................................................................... 21 Physical Characteristics ........................................................................................................ 21 Psychological Characteristics ............................................................................................... 23 Vocal Characteristics ............................................................................................................ 23 Solo Performance Considerations......................................................................................... 26 Script Analysis: Cutting a Full-Length Play............................................................................. 27 CHAPTER FOUR: PERFORMANCE........................................................................................ 30 Costume Design........................................................................................................................ 30 Set Design ................................................................................................................................. 33 Props ......................................................................................................................................... 34 Sound Design............................................................................................................................ 36 Lighting..................................................................................................................................... 37 v Audience Interaction................................................................................................................. 38 Publicity .................................................................................................................................... 39 Program..................................................................................................................................... 39 Budget....................................................................................................................................... 39 CHAPTER FIVE: REHEARSAL / PERFORMANCE JOURNAL............................................ 41 CHAPTER SIX: CONCLUSION.............................................................................................. 107 APPENDIX A: SYNOPSIS OF THE BELLE OF AMHERST .................................................. 109 APPENDIX B: COMMITTEE REPORTS................................................................................ 115 LIST OF REFERENCES............................................................................................................ 123 vi LIST OF TABLES Table 1: Budget............................................................................................................................ 40 vii CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION Tell all the Truth but tell it slant – Success in Circuit lies Too bright for our infirm Delight The Truth's superb surprise - Emily Dickinson Emily Dickinson contemplated the universal truths of nature, love, death, and immortality, and chose to present her perceptions in almost two thousand poems, most of them short, many of them humorous, some of them ironic, all of them touching the soul. She tells the truth, but tells it slanted through the persona of her poems, using a circuit of images, examples, and arguments to make her point. The reward for figuring out her semantic structure and making the associations of her words is the superb surprise of finding the truth behind the images. The beauty of Dickinson's poetry is reason enough to perform the poems. They make a lovely CD set. But my purpose in performing The Belle of Amherst is not merely to present the poems. It is to present the life of Emily Dickinson, whose personal truths will never be known. Like her poetry, she lived her life "slant". As an adult, she withdrew from her friends and community to attend to solitary occupations – poetry writing, gardening, and baking. She communicated to the larger world of friends, editors, and family by letter. Yet these letters are "slant". Dickinson does not reveal her feelings directly, but rather implies her feelings or gives no explanation for her actions. She is still a figure of mystery even though she revealed her soul in her poetry. This thesis project is my portrayal of Emily Dickinson using portions of William Luce's 1976 play, The Belle of Amherst. I had read a variety of solo performance

  • Emily Dickinson - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Emily Dickinson - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Emily Dickinson(10 December 1830 – 15 May 1886) Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was an American poet. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. After she studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst. Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room. Most of her friendships were therefore carried out by correspondence. Although Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime. The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends. Although most of her acquaintances were probably aware of Dickinson's writing, it was not until after her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Emily's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that the breadth of Dickinson's work became apparent.

Lawrence Martin Dean of the Graduate School ii Abstract of the Thesis A Remembrance of the Belle: Emily Dickinson on Stage by Caitlin Lee Master of Fine Arts in Dramaturgy Stony Brook University 2010 In September 2009, I served as the Production Dramaturg for the New York premiere production of Emily: An Amethyst Remembrance. During my research process, I learned that the true persona Emily Dickinson does fit into one particular stereotype. In this thesis I provide, I examine three different theatrical interpretations of the character of Emily Dickinson: Allison’s House by Susan Glaspell, The Belle of Amherst by William Luce, and Emily: An Amethyst Remembrance by Chris Cragin. Though each of these texts are quite different in structure, they each depict woman who is strong and loving; she is not afraid of the world, but rather it is her choice to exclude herself from it.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

Performance Analysis 34 BIBLIOGRAPHY . • • • • . • • • 50 i INTRODUCTION The culmination of the work leading to the Master of Fine Arts in acting is a performance project and thesis concerning the project. The project should allow the actor to demonstrate as many of the skills learned in his training as possible and to demonstrate his range. As my performance project I chose the play The Belle of Amherst by William Luce, a one-woman play based on the life of the American poet Emily Dickinson. I performed the play on April 2 and 3, 1979, in the Laboratory Theatre at Ohio State University. A one-character play is an appropriate performance project for several reasons. Change and variety are essential to drama. In a standard several-character play variety is achieved through more than one char­ acter, so, while the variety of the play may be vast, the range of each character may be limited. In a one-character play, however, the change and variety can only be established by one person, creating a much wider range of emotions in that character. Also, the actor in a one-character play has a greater control over the finished product, which makes the product a better example of his work.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Belle of Amherst by William Luce The Belle of Amherst by William Luce. As tight budgets have contributed to the proliferation of the one-person play The Belle of Amherst is still regarded as a benchmark for the genre's autobiographical subset in which the subject takes on the voices of the other characters in her life. Numerous actors have undertaken the role that, in addition to its enormous text memorizing demands, is shadowed by the legacy of Julie Harris's incandescent performance. Now, for the first time since its 1976 Broadway run, The Belle. is on a New York Stage. The new Emily Dickinson is Jolie Richardson. She comes to the role with a respectable stage resume ( Windermere's Fan, Side Effects, Madame Melville , Ivanov ), but she's best known as a member of a theater dynasty (her mother is Vanessa Redgrave) and her part in the cable series Nip/Tuck. Since this rare revival is directed by Steve Cosson I somehow expected it to be staged with some nod to the theater world's current penchant for trendy new interpretations and staging bells and whistles. You see, Cossom is the artistic director of the The Civilians, a company known for edgy, very now productions. But surprise, surprise, the only thing new about Cosson's production is that he's directed Ms. Richardson to play Emily Dickinson with almost frantic physicality. Antje Ellermann's single set is actually less detailed than the original, the costume is still just one white dress by William Ivey Long.
