    For 200 million years the Dinosaurs ruled the earth Now, they’re back to roam the arenas of America in an extraordinary new theatrical production WALKING WITH DINOSAURS The Live Experience Based on the award-winning BBC Television Series WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience comes to North America on a two-year tour September 30, 2007 --- Dinosaurs return to the earth in a live theatrical arena show, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience , based on the award-winning BBC Television Series. After playing for ten sold-out weeks in five cities in Australia, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience is now on tour in North America for two years. 350,000 Americans have already seen the production since it opened in July 2007. WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience is brought to North America by Immersion Edutainment , headed by Bruce Mactaggart. Mactaggart said, “The BBC Series was a brilliant blend of special effects, escapism, excitement and information. Our show has that -- and it’s live. In this show, fifteen roaring, snarling “live” dinosaurs mesmerize the audience – and are as awe-inspiring as when they first walked on earth.” Mactaggart continued, “This is a show that could only fit in arenas – as the creatures are so absolutely immense in size. Audiences seated in the lower seats are all but overwhelmed by the dinosaurs, while those seated in higher seats can view the entire spectacle and panorama of the production. It is the closest you’ll ever get to experiencing what it was like when they walked and ruled the earth.” For more information, please visit www.dinosaurlive.com .

Radical People's Theatre. By Eugene Van Erven. Bloomington and Indianapolis: Indiana University Press, 1988. 238 pp. + illus. ISBN 0-253-34788-2. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the performance techniques of circus, commedia deWarte, vaudeville, music hall, puppetry, and a wide variety of street entertainments and folk traditions, especially as they apply to the creation of a radical or "alternative" form of politicized theatre. Before the early 1980's, little about this kind of theatre could be found in scholarly studies or theatrical histories and remained, as perhaps it intends, outside accepted and mainstream stage traditions. Undoubtedly, it is their non-literary style that has often kept these forms out of standard dramatic studies. Absurdist and existentialist dramatists, Bertolt Brecht, and even Dario Fo, who were inspired by many of the same aspects of street theatre, are regularly examined and re-examined, at least in part because they have individually written plays that remain in the canon of performed works. With a significant emphasis on improvisation and highly topical, ever-changing subject matter, the alternative artist or group may seem too temporary and too intangible to be pinned down in a scholarly study.

  • The Three Penny Opera
    Kurt Weill Born on the 2nd of March, 1900 in Dessau, Germany, the son of a cantor, Weill displayed THE THREE musical talent early on. By the time he was twelve, he was composing and mounting concerts and dramatic works in the hall above his family's quarters in the Gemeindehaus. After studying theory and composition, Weill enrolled PENNY OPERA at the Berlin Hochschule für Musik, but found the conservative training and the infrequent lessons with Engelbert Humperdinck too stifling. After a season as conductor of the newly formed municipal theater in Lüdenscheid, he returned to Berlin and was accepted into Ferruccio Busoni's master class in composition. By 1925, a series of performances in Berlin and at international music festivals established Weill as one of the leading composers of his generation. A commission from the Baden-Baden Music Festival in 1927 led to the creation of Mahagonny (Ein Songspiel) , Weill's first collaboration with Brecht. The succès de scandale of Mahagonny encouraged Weill and Brecht to continue work on a full-length opera. Exploiting their aggressive popular song-style, Weill and Brecht also wrote several works for singing actors in the commercial theater, including Die Dreigroschenoper and Happy End . The music Music is very strongly present in The Threepenny Opera . The play's By Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht score is strongly influenced by jazz. “The Ballad of Mackie Messer,” later translated into “Mack the Knife,” became the play's most well known song. It was written at the last minute because the actor playing I was aroused straightaway by the raw intensity of the Macheath threatened to quit if his character did not receive a proper songs ..
