  • Herr Daniel Bandmann and Shakespeare Vs. the World
    Journal of Global Theatre History ISSN: 2509-6990 Issue 1, Number 2, 2016, pp. 56-70 Lisa J. Warrington Herr Daniel Bandmann and Shakespeare vs. the World Abstract German actor Daniel Bandmann played his first Hamlet at the age of 20, and made his English language debut as Shylock in New York, 1863. In his prime, he performed extensively in America, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, amongst other countries. Though he played roles which ranged from Narcisse and the Corsican twins to Jekyll and Hyde, he was perhaps most closely identified with a handful of Shakespearean roles: Hamlet, Shylock, Macbeth, Othello, Iago. His apparently ungovernable temper led to a love/hate relationship with the critics, played out in public through the newspapers. His responses to criticism open a window into his playing of these roles. This paper examines Bandmann’s acting in the role of Hamlet and the critical interchanges he engaged in around the world, in which he defended his playing of the role. Author Lisa Warrington is an Associate Professor in Theatre Studies at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. Current research interests (and areas in which she has published) include Shakespeare in performance, directing, Pasifika theatre, site-specific theatre, nineteenth century New Zealand theatre history and the theatre of Aotearoa/New Zealand. She is also a professional theatre director, with many productions to her credit. She runs the Theatre Aotearoa database (http://tadb.otago.ac.nz), which provides a regularly expanded detailed archive of stage productions in New Zealand.

    Tarih Kültür ve Sanat Ara ştırmaları Dergisi (ISSN: 2147-0626) Journal of History Culture and Art Research Vol. 2, No. 2, June 2013 Revue des Recherches en Histoire Culture et Art Copyright © Karabuk University http://kutaksam.karabuk.edu.tr/index.php اث ار وا وا Özel Sayı/Special Issue (English Studies ) DOI: 10.7596/taksad.v2i2.220 The Blogging Artist: a Genre-Analysis Approach ∗ Anda-Elena Cre ţiu ∗∗ Abstract Building on the now classic approaches to Discourse Analysis offered by Swales and Bhatia, the present paper tries to establish the benefits and value of applying the method of Genre Analysis to teaching English for Art Purposes, with a focus on a more recent Internet genre, that of the artist’s blog (weblog). The artist’s blog is seen as part of the greater genre of the weblog, which has already been classified into a number of subgenres. The paper proposes yet another dimension to be added to those already considered when classifying the weblogs: the dimension of “occupational-oriented content” as a descriptive for further classifications; it also tries to uncover the generic features of this type of discourse. The ultimate aim of this study is, on the one hand, that of providing art students with the necessary know-how of using the weblog genre for their current and future professional purposes, as part of the complex system of genres devised by the artistic discourse community in order to communicate both within and without itself, and, on the other hand, to help students use their knowledge of the English language to create such a discourse type in order to obtain maximum benefits.

My project will have two main components: 1) who I was, what I was doing, and how the tour related to the TCU experience and 2) information about the touring experience itself.

This experience provided an inside perspective of national touring, as well as the opportunity to live in a closed community. I thought a structured analysis of this experience would create a unique honors project.
