  • The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community.

  • Playing to One's Strengths
    ISSUE 29 Quarterly Journal - December 2018 NEWS COMMENT and ANALYSIS on SPINOUTS from UK HEIs Playing to one’s strengths As we have frequently remarked, and as the figures given in our Quarterly Journals demonstrate, spinout activity—new spinouts created, investment, exits - is highly concentrated in the South East of England. While universities such as Oxford and Cambridge, Imperial and UCL, go from strength to strength, making the most of their favourable environment - business, technology, investment - outside the ‘golden triangle’ it is not possible for universities to replicate the same conditions, and they must identify their own strengths and put them to maximum effect. We have two examples in this issue: Univeresity of Birmingham Enterprise’s account of the commercialisation collaboration between eight Midlands universities (p17), and our Spotlight feature on Swansea University (p15), which has evolved a technology transfer model tailored specifically to its own circumstances. Encouragingly, the Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) currently under development acknowledges this issue, and has set out to group universities in clusters, so that universities in the most favoured environments can be assessed against their peers, and others judged by criteria more relevant to their own environments; see our report on p13. Since the publication of our previous Quarterly Journal, the sale of Spinouts UK to Beauhurst has been completed. Henry Whorwood of Beauhurst explains what this means in terms of tracking and profiling spinout companies on p8. There will be a transitional handover period, with Spinouts UK founder and editor Jonathan Harris continuing to produce the Quarterly Journals, while Beauhurst gradually takes over the data collection activities.

In late July, two important Kurdistan exploration and development deals were announced.
