  • Contemporary Opera Studio Presents "Socrates", "Christopher Sly"
    Contemporary Opera Studio presents "Socrates", "Christopher Sly" April 7, 1972 Contemporary Opera Studio, developed jointly by the San Diego Opera Company and the University of California, San Diego, will present a double-bill program of "Socrates" by Erik Satie and the comic "Christopher Sly" by Dominick Argento on Friday and Saturday, April 21 and 22. To be held in the recently opened UCSD Theatre, Bldg. 203 an the Matthews Campus, the two performances will begin at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $2.00 for general admission and $1.00 for students. The Opera Studio was formed in the winter of 1971 to perform unusual works, and innovative productions of standard works, which, because of their unusual nature, could not be profitably performed by the main opera company. The developers of this experimental wing of the downtown opera company hope it will become a training school, emphasizing the theatrical aspects of opera, for young professional singers. The two operas to be performed make use of a wide range of acting techniques and musical effects demonstrated in acting and movement classes of the Opera Studio. "Socrates," written in 1918, is a "symphonic drama" based on texts translated from Plato's "Dialogues." The opera is unusual in that women take the roles of Socrates and his companions. Director of "Socrates" is Mary Fee. Double cast in the role of Socrates are Beverly Ogdon and Cathy Campbell. Erik Satie, composer of "Socrates", is was very much a part of the artistic life of Paris near the beginning of the 20th century. His friends included Debussy, Ravel, Cocteau, and Picasso.

  • The Cea Forum 2019
    Winter/Spring THE CEA FORUM 2019 Situated Interpretation: Teaching Shakespeare with Live Performance Jessica Winston Idaho State University Writing back in 1997, W.B. Worthen observed that “actual stage performance” had been largely “omitted from the catalogue of ‘discourses’ that inform criticism” (Shakespeare and 154). Now over twenty years later, the situation has changed: one of the liveliest areas of Shakespeare studies is performance criticism—that is, the study of Shakespeare-related theatrical production, performance, and reception. Just as important, actual performance has become an established part of pedagogical practice. As several recent articles attest, Shakespeare instructors routinely incorporate performance-related exercises in their classrooms (e.g. Bevington; Boyer; Costa; Esposito; Hartley, “Dialectical Shakespeare”). It is also relatively common to require or encourage students to attend a live production, such as one might see at a Shakespeare festival or professional theatre, for instance the Guthrie or Folger, or at a regional, university, or community stage. Yet despite this field-wide investment in performance, the viewing and analysis of live productions in teaching remains a curiously unexamined convention in Shakespeare pedagogy. Initially, this claim may sound counterintuitive, if not patently incorrect. Since the 1980s, publications in Shakespeare pedagogy have increasingly emphasized performance approaches to Shakespeare, presenting course and lesson plans with the foundational idea that a Shakespeare play

  • How the Induction Informs Katherine's Character in the Taming of the Shrew
    Can’t Be Tamed: How the Induction Informs Katherine’s Character in The Taming of the Shrew Sophia Dobischok, Simon Fraser University Abstract This paper was originally written for Dr. Ronda Arab’s English 203 course Early Modern Literature. The assignment asked students to write an essay about the effect of the introductory scenes (induction) in Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. The paper uses MLA citation style. In analyses of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew there has always been contentious debate as to whether Katherine has or has not been successfully tamed by Petruchio. However, the induction provides a crucial framework with which to interpret Katherine’s character arc. The induction parallels the main play in that the lord attempts to tame Sly into performing the role of lord just as Petruchio attempts to tame Katherine into performing the role of submissive wife. Both the lord and Petruchio attempt to tame the person they control by constructing their reality, the lord by controlling Sly’s external environment and Petruchio by contradicting Katherine’s identity and experiences. However, the induction makes it clear that despite the lord’s attempt to make Sly believe in his environment and play the role of lord, he is not able to change Sly’s nature and make him truly become a lord. This provides a framework to understand the effect of Petruchio’s taming on Katherine. Thus, the purpose of the induction is to provide a framework to understand Petruchio and Katherine’s relationship, so we may ultimately understand that although Katherine outwardly plays the role of submissive wife her fierce nature has been undisrupted.

  • The Taming of the Shrew
    Shakespeare The Taming of the Shrew SYNOPSIS The Taming of the Shrew Christopher Sly, a poor tinker, falls asleep after being thrown out of an ale‐house because he is drunk. A lord takes him into his house and plays a trick on him by making him think he is a lord who has lost his memory for whom a company of players will perform the play 'The Taming of the Shrew'. This 'induction' is the frame story. In the play itself Hortensio, who wants to marry a rich woman, old Gremio, who wants to use his money to find a young wife, and Lucentio, who has just arrived in Padua, all want to marry beautiful Bianca, but her father Baptista insists that her older sister Kate must marry first. Kate is a 'shrew', a woman with her own ideas and a violent temper. Petruchio, from Verona, agrees to woo Kate, both for her dowry and for the challenge of 'taming' her. Hortensio and Lucentio both manage to spend time with Bianca by pretending to be tutors, while Lucentio's servant Tranio plays the role of his master. Petruchio marries Kate, but he arrives at the church wearing totally unsuitable clothes and takes her to his country house, where he uses various forms of deprivation to break her will, for instance pretending that any dishes or clothes she is brought are not good enough and must be sent away, or making her agree with everything he says, otherwise she will not be able to sleep or visit her family. Tranio persuades a travelling schoolteacher to pretend to be Lucentio's father, because Baptista wants to be sure that his potential son‐in‐law is respectable and rich enough.

  • The Taming of the Shrew: Deproblematising a Problem Play
    THE TAMING OF THE SHREW: DEPROBLEMATISING A PROBLEM PLAY Rana TEKÇAN * From Juliet’s “ What’s in a name? ” to Bottom’s “ Methought I was – there is no man can tell what” , Shakespeare is preoccupied with identity and its endless permutations. One product of this preoccupation is The Taming of the Shrew which emphatically engages in questions of who one is, who one choses or is forced to be; questions of how one is capable of putting on/taking off an identity as if it “ were essentially a suit of clothes ”1. Dealing with these questions – especially ones presented in conjunction with the misogynic “taming plot” – proved to be difficult for 20th century critics. As Stevie Davies writes in her appropriately titled chapter “Shakespeare Can’t Have Meant It (Can He?)”, the criticism of the play was “dominated by feelings of unease and embarrasment, accompanied by the desire to prove that Shakespeare cannot have meant what he seems to be saying; and that therefore he cannot really be saying it ”2. This desire for a proof led some critics to assign the play an undercurrent that moves counter to its apparent misogyny. Others saw in it elements of Brechtian alienation; still others read it as a historical representation of gender politics 3. The focal point of these various approaches was Shakespeare’s “intention” and it was a risky point to move from. There is, of course, no way of knowing Shakespeare’s intention. More significantly perhaps, as Marjorie Garber reminds us, we do not even have a single point of view in a play, and Shakespeare is particularly gifted in “ provid[ing], in almost every case, a credible contrary argument, on stage, to what might seem to be a prevailing view point ”4.

Clara Sigmon Sigmon 1 Professor Richard Finkelstein English 447P April 24, 2019 Power, Performativity, and Gender in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew In William Shakespeare's play The Taming of the Shrew, both Petruchio and Katherine Minola fail to represent themselves according to socially constructed gender roles. While Petruchio never ceases to move freely in and out of prescribed masculine behavior due to the security afforded to him by class and gender, Kate is bestialized and oppressed in a representation of anxieties surrounding strong, intelligent women in society. Kate's final speech has been interpreted as an indication that the initially unruly "shrew" is successfully tamed by Petruchio in a declaration of absolute, patriarchal values. On the contrary, I will focus on language and performativity throughout The Taming of the Shrew in order to demonstrate the ways in which Kate learns to subversively express her desire and gain power.
