Perhaps the most important influences on my early thinking about this topic came from Paweł Frelik and Larry McCaffery, with whom I shared a rousing desert hike in the foothills of Borrego Springs. After an evening of food, drink, and lively exchange, I had the long-overdue epiphany to channel my training in musical performance more directly into my academic pursuits. The early support, friendship, and collegiality of these two had a tremendously positive effect on the arc of my scholarship; knowing they believed in the project helped me pencil its first sketchy contours—and ultimately see it through to the end.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Unique collaboration with RSC to mark 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death Shakespeare in Art: Tempests, Tyrants and Tragedy 19 March ‐ 19 June 2016 Compton Verney, Warwickshire Already hailed as one of 2016’s must‐see exhibitions, Shakespeare in Art: Tempests, Tyrants and Tragedy is a landmark collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company commemorating the 400th anniversary of the bard’s death. A master of dramatising human emotions in their myriad forms, Shakespeare’s plays have in turn inspired countless artists. Shakespeare in Art: Tempests, Tyrants and Tragedy will focus on those pivotal Shakespeare plays which have motivated artists across the ages – from Sargent, Fuseli, Rossetti, Blake, Watts and Romney to Karl Weschke, Kate Tempest and Tom Hunter – exploring the enduring appeal of the Elizabethan playwright. This exhibition offers an exceptional opportunity for both art and theatre lovers to reimagine Shakespeare’s works through a unique series of multi‐media, multi‐sensory encounters; including painting, photography, projection, sound and light. Using specially commissioned audio drawing on excerpts from Shakespeare's plays, leading RSC actors will bring to life scenes from some of the major paintings. Uniquely for an art gallery, the exhibition will be designed by the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Director of Design, Stephen Brimson Lewis. Over seventy works – including paintings, drawings, engravings, woodcuts and photos – have been sourced from across the UK for this remarkable show, taking place just nine miles away from Shakespeare’s birthplace, Stratford‐upon‐Avon. Works will travel to Compton Verney from Bolton, Birmingham, Edinburgh and York, plus Tate and the V&A in London and the show will also include a number of key works from the RSCS’s own, rarely publicly displayed art collection.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. CHAPTER 7 Irish Renaissance Kathleen Heininge ritics have several names for the movement that took place in Ireland at the turn of the twentieth century. Each name seems to Csuggest a different interpretation of the events at that time, and each interpretation, in turn, reflects a different idea of Ireland’s relation- ship with the rest of the world. The Irish Revival, a term most often used to discuss the literary movement, implies that the greatness of a people can be resuscitated after it has been nearly lost, and is thus a term in keeping with a nationalist agenda. The Celtic Twilight, a term coined by W. B. Yeats, is a more sentimental and mystical rendering that suggests the illu- mination and reinterpretation of a previously underappreciated culture, and is a term in keeping with the transition from a romanticized concept of tradition to a modernist consciousness.

  • Patron Services Representatives Are the Official Face of the Theatre Development Fund on the TKTS Lines at Times Square, South Street Seaport and Downtown Brooklyn
    REPRESENTATIVE JOB DESCRIPTION Patron Services Representatives are the official face of the Theatre Development Fund on the TKTS lines at Times Square, South Street Seaport and Downtown Brooklyn. They assist patrons at the booths with all of their questions and are primarily charged with discussing the current theatrical offerings with potential ticket buyers. The goal of a Patron Services Representative is not to “push” or “sell” certain shows or seats, but rather to help our patrons to make informed decisions for themselves and get all the information they need about any given show or shows. In a nutshell, Patron Services Representatives are well informed, kind, and passionate theatre professionals working for TDF/TKTS, in order to help our patrons’ understanding of the booths, and improve the overall TKTS experience. Like all TDF’s programming, they are trying to make theatre accessible to as many people as possible by improving the experience of the booths and simplify the sometimes overwhelming world of New York City Theatre. Representatives are expected to: -Work year round at the TKTS Booths, for the most part out-of doors. -Have an excellent working knowledge of New York City in order to best help patrons (especially of the Theatres and their areas) -Be able to discuss with patrons of TKTS the various shows we have on offer. -Offer help to anyone looking for informational assistance at our Booths. -Keep up to date with information on the current season of Broadway and Off-Broadway productions. This may include attending various shows which offer invitations to the team. -Assist in Patron’s understanding of the TKTS Booth’s operations, rules, and function.
