The Company 4 2016/2017 SEASON DIRECTORS NOTE When Fiddler on the Roof opened on Broadway in 1964, it was instantly embraced Fiddler became the first Broadway show to run for more than 3000 performances, it spawned hundreds of productions all over the world in dozens of languages, the imaginary little shtetl town of Anatevka became more famous than many actual towns, and the character of Tevye became as beloved and iconic as any character in literature I daresay it has played every single day somewhere in the world over the last 48 years Based on a series of stories by the great Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem, Fiddler is set in the world of the Jewish Pale in pre-Revolutionary Tsarist Russia in 1905 It couldn’t be more specially steeped in the details of a very particular place and time and religion and culture Yet the story of Tevye and his daughters has achieved a universality that seemingly transcends every geographic and cultural barrier I think that is because of the rich humanity of its characters, the devious humor, the honesty of its sentiments, the beauty of its score and a dozen other theatrical marvels But mostly I think it is because of the themes that shine so clearly in every scene Tradition Family Faith The themes at the heart of Fiddler on the Roof are universal and deeply rooted in all our cultures Tradition, family, and faith are under siege in Tevye and Golde’s home – just as they were in the turbulent 1960s when Fiddler premiered – and just as they are today in a polarized environment quickly adjusting to enormous global change I was struck in rehearsals by how many of Tevye’s lines are in the form of questions If an unexamined life is not worth living, Tevye examines his existence with intense Talmudic scrutiny In his loving and delightfully familiar relationship with his God, Tevye knows the values of tradition and faith are truly alive only if they are always being examined for the truth at their core, and that family must be tended, cared for, and nurtured with steadfast love David Ira Goldstein, Artistic Director 5 2016/2017 SEASON THE CAST Anne Allgood (Golde) appeared Garnering many nominations and awards for her previously at ATC in Other work as an actor, director, and choreographer in Desert Cities.

The Beatles revolution- ized the recording process using technology to achieve completely unprecedented sounds and arrangements. Until then, popular music recordings were simply faithful reproductions of a live performance. Over the past fifty years, recording and production techniques have advanced so far that another challenge has arisen: it is now very difficult for performing artists to give a live performance that has the same impact, complexity and nuance as a produced studio recording.

    Musical Theatre Scene Study (Sections II, III) Syllabus: 2018-19 Oakland School for the Arts – School of Theatre Instructor: Mr. Travisano Class Location: Room 202 Instructor Contact: [email protected] Class Meeting Times: Tues (Periods 7, 8) & Thurs (Period 7) Instructor Office Hours: lunch/after school _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABOUT THE COURSE In this course we’ll explore methods and historical practice of musical theatre dating from the so-called Golden Age of the 1950s to next generation of musical creators who begin to push the genre in a new direction in the 1970s (creating what are referred to as “concept musicals”). Through a close examination of specific musicals you’ll gain an in depth knowledge of the acting theories and techniques required to create fully-realized characters. You’ll also gain practical knowledge of musical theatre performance by directing, choreographing, and performing scenes from musicals of this period. Based on student feedback, in this course we’ll focus more intently on acting as a component of the art of musical theatre performance. We’ll explore non-musicals from this period as the basis for exercises in theory and practice. In fact, we’ll begin the year in this particular section with an intensive acting workshop around the work of Tennessee Williams. As we align with CTE (Career Technical Education, Performing Arts Pathway Standards B.1-6) throughout this course we’ll think about how you can apply what you learn in this class to what you can expect in a career or in college. You’ll do frequent observations and critiques of each other’s work and the work of established professionals from whom we can all learn.

  • Doing Sound Slaten Dissertation Deposit
    Doing Sound: An Ethnography of Fidelity, Temporality and Labor Among Live Sound Engineers Whitney Slaten Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Whitney Slaten All rights reserved ABSTRACT Doing Sound: An Ethnography of Fidelity, Temporality and Labor Among Live Sound Engineers Whitney Slaten This dissertation ethnographically represents the work of three live sound engineers and the profession of live sound reinforcement engineering in the New York City metropolitan area. In addition to amplifying music to intelligible sound levels, these engineers also amplify music in ways that engage the sonic norms associated with the pertinent musical genres of jazz, rock and music theater. These sonic norms often overdetermine audience members' expectations for sound quality at concerts. In particular, these engineers also work to sonically and visually mask themselves and their equipment. Engineers use the term “transparency” to describe this mode of labor and the relative success of sound reproduction technologies. As a concept within the realm of sound reproduction technologies, transparency describes methods of reproducing sounds without coloring or obscuring the original quality. Transparency closely relates to “fidelity,” a concept that became prominent throughout the late nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries to describe the success of sound reproduction equipment in making the quality of reproduced sound faithful to its original. The ethnography opens by framing the creative labor of live sound engineering through a process of “fidelity.” I argue that fidelity dynamically oscillates as struggle and satisfaction in live sound engineers’ theory of labor and resonates with their phenomenological encounters with sounds and social positions as laborers at concerts.

  • Jerome Robbins Began His Journey As a Dancer in the Ballet Theatre Company, Which Would Later Be Renamed the American Ballet Theatre
    Jerome Robbins began his journey as a dancer in the Ballet Theatre Company, which would later be renamed the American Ballet Theatre. The company produced classical ballets, but also encouraged innovative work. When the company faced financial problems and had to bring in new managment, Jerome grew weary of only performing in pieces that told stories of the past. Thus, Fancy Free was born. Premiered in April of 1944, Fancy Free was a revolutionary ballet that focused on telling the story of the modern men and women in New York. The three main characters were created specifically for himself and two of his close friends. A big focus of his was to properly convey the characters so that the audience had a clear understanding of them. It was a new idea, telling the stories of the present day, but he was not alone in this movement. Other choreographers, such as Agnes De Mille and Antony Tudor, were also producing these kinds of works. Though his dancers were performing difficult choreography, it was important to him that they still seemed like real people. His rehearsals tended to run longer than most simply because he wanted to perfect the “attitudes” conveyed in the piece. Eventually, Fancy Free became the basis of the musical On the Town, thus launching his career in musical theatre. Some of his most notable works on Broadway were West Side Story, Fiddler On the Roof, and The Pajama Game. When working on West Side Story, in order to facilitate the hostility between the on-stage gangs, they were not permitted to associate with each other off-stage.
