  • Performing Othello in South Africa Natasha Distiller

    Performing Othello in South Africa Natasha Distiller

    Authentic Protest, Authentic Shakespeare, Authentic Africans: Performing Othello in South Africa Natasha Distiller ugh Quarshie famously declared Othello a play that black actors Hshould avoid: “If a black actor plays Othello does he not risk making racial stereotypes seem legitimate… namely that black men… are over- emotional, excitable and unstable?”1 Ben Okri, referencing the reception of Shakespeare’s tragedy by critics and audiences,2 said that if Othello were not originally a play about race (as indeed it was not in the modern sense of the term), its history has made it one.3 By now, Othello both invokes and confounds modern notions of race and racial difference, speaking powerfully to the long history of misogyny it has facilitated.4 The play also points to the ways in which race and gender are imbricated in one another and co-depend.5 The meaning of Desdemona’s whiteness and femininity depend on each other, as do Othello’s blackness and masculinity. As Celia Daileader has pointed out, Desdemona’s punishment for being an unruly woman is symbolized by and through Othello’s racial identity.6 One might say that Othello both is and is not about race and racial difference, a play that invokes a relation between gender and the range of human cultures, religions, civic belongings, and/or appearances that we now encode as “race.” Whichever ideological frame one chooses to read through (an early modern construction of Moorishness, a postmodern antiracism, a feminist awareness of domestic violence, a combination of these, or any of the other possible lenses one could apply), to understand the play one must recognize the ways it explores the experience of difference as emotionally fraught at best, potentially dangerous at worst.

    ANTA Theater and the Proposed Designation of the Related Landmark Site (Item No

    Landmarks Preservation Commission August 6, 1985; Designation List 182 l.P-1309 ANTA THFATER (originally Guild Theater, noN Virginia Theater), 243-259 West 52nd Street, Manhattan. Built 1924-25; architects, Crane & Franzheim. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1024, Lot 7. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the ANTA Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The ANTA Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in the 1924-25, the ANTA was constructed for the Theater Guild as a subscription playhouse, named the Guild Theater. The fourrling Guild members, including actors, playwrights, designers, attorneys and bankers, formed the Theater Guild to present high quality plays which they believed would be artistically superior to the current offerings of the commercial Broadway houses. More than just an auditorium, however, the Guild Theater was designed to be a theater resource center, with classrooms, studios, and a library. The theater also included the rrost up-to-date staging technology.

    English 2080 S 19 Viewing Questions on the Twoothellos

    English 2080 S 19 Viewing Questions on the twoOthellos As usual, the schedule is asking you to do several things at once — to view two productions of Othello while we read and explore the play in class — and a few notes and focusing questions may help us approach the modern performances. • Here are minimal credits for the two productions (more at http://us.imdb.com/): Othello (Royal Shakespeare Company, 1989, at Stratford’s Other Place); dir. Trevor Nunn, with Willard White (Othello), Imogen Stubbs (Desdemona), Ian McKellen (Iago), Sean Baker (Cassio), Zoe Wanamaker (Emilia), and Michael Grandage (Roderigo). ☛ Virginia Vaughan's "An Othello for the 1990s" (scholium 10 on our website) comments briefly on this production. Othello (Market Theatre, Johannesburg, 1987), dir. Janet Suzman, with John Kani (Othello), Joanna Weinberg (Desdemona), Richard Haddon Haines (Iago), Neal McCarthy (Cassio), Dorothy Gold (Emilia), and Frantz Dobrowsky (Roderigo). ☛ Suzman's "South Africa in Othello" (1998), on BB, serves an extended program note for this production; it is an essay in which she explains and defends decisions made in staging the play in an unusual venue. Like those decisions, it is not uncontroversial. • Mise-en-scène, the "putting in view" of the action.

    Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage

    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Acting in the Academy

    Acting in the Academy

    Acting in the Academy There are over 150 BFA and MFA acting programs in the US today, nearly all of which claim to prepare students for theatre careers. Peter Zazzali contends that these curricula represent an ethos that is outdated and limited given today’s shrinking job market for stage actors. Acting in the Academy traces the history of actor training in universities to make the case for a move beyond standard courses in voice and speech, move- ment, or performance, to develop an entrepreneurial model that motivates and encourages students to create their own employment opportunities. This book answers questions such as: • How has the League of Professional Theatre Training Programs shaped actor training in the US? • How have training programs and the acting profession developed in relation to one another? • What impact have these developments had on American acting as an art form? Acting in the Academy calls for a reconceptualization of actor training in the US, and looks to newly empower students of performance with a fresh, original perspective on their professional development. Peter Zazzali is Assistant Professor of Theatre at the University of Kansas.

  • Some Thoughts Surrounding 2016Production of the Tempest

    Some Thoughts Surrounding 2016Production of the Tempest

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by DSpace at Waseda University Some thoughts surrounding 2016 production of The Tempest UMEMIYA Yu The following note shows the result of an on going research on the play by William Shakespeare: The Tempest. The 2016 production at the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), one of the leading theatre companies in England, demonstrated another innovative version of the play on their main stage in Stratford-upon-Avon, followed by its tour down to Barbican theatre in London in 2017. It did not include an extraordinary interpretation or unique casting pattern but demonstrated the extended development of technology available on stage. This note introduces the feature and the reception of the production in the latter half, with a brief summary of the play and a survey of the performance history of The Tempest in the first half. The story of The Tempest Compared to other plays by Shakespeare, The Tempest is a rare example that follows the classical idea of three unities of time, place and action, deriving from 1 Aristotle, then prescribed by Philip Sydney in Renaissance England . The similar 2 structure has already practiced in The Comedy of Errors in 1594 , but while this early comedy is often described as a simple farce, The Tempest contains various complications in terms of plots and theatrical possibilities. The story of The Tempest opens with a storm at sea, conjured by the magic of Prospero, the main character of the play. He is manipulating the tempest from the 一二七nearby island where he lives with his daughter, Miranda, and shares the land with two other fantastic creatures, Ariel and Caliban.
