  • Sugar Babies - the Quintessential Burlesque Show
    SEPTEMBER,1986 Vol 10 No 8 ISSN 0314 - 0598 A publication of the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust Sugar Babies - The Quintessential Burlesque Show personality and his own jokes. Not all the companies, however, lived up to the audience's expectations; the comedians were not always brilliant and witty, the girls weren't always beautiful. This proved to be Ralph Allen's inspiration for SUGAR BABIES. "During the course of my research, one question kept recurring. Why not create a quintessen­ tial Burlesque Show out of authentic materials - a show of shows as I have played it so often in the theatre of my mind? After all, in a theatre of the mind, nothing ever disappoints. " After running for seven years in America - both in New York and on tour - the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust will mount SUGAR BABIES in Australia, opening in Sydney at Her Majesty's Theatre on October 30. In February it will move to Melbourne and other cities, including Adelaide, Perth and Auckland. The tour is expected to last about 39 weeks. Eddie Bracken, who is coming from the USA to star in the role of 1st comic in SUGAR BABIES, received rave reviews from critics in the USA. "Bracken, with his rolling eyes, rubber face and delightful slow burns, is the consummate performer, " said Jim Arpy in the Quad City Times. Since his debut in 1931 on Broadway, Bracken has appeared in Sugar Babies from the original New York production countless movies and stage shows. Garry McDonald will bring back to life one of Harry Rigby, happened to be at the con­ Australia's greatest comics by playing his SUGAR BABIES, conceived by role as "Mo" (Roy Rene).

  • Languaging the Actor
    LANGUAGING THE ACTOR AN EXAMINATION OF THE TERMINOLOGY USED IN ACTOR TRAINING Bernadette Anne Pryde Diploma of Teaching Graduate Diploma in Dramatic Art in Voice Studies Faculty of Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology Submitted for the award of Master of Arts (Research) 2002 FORMALIA KEYWORDS The following is a list of keywords that appear within the thesis, or are associated with the thesis topic. These keywords have been listed for cataloguing purposes. Keywords that apply to this study are: acting; actor training; Australian actor training; grounded theory; and language. i ABSTRACT Throughout the twentieth century increased interest in the training of actors resulted in the emergence of a plethora of acting theories and innovative theatrical movements in Europe, the UK and the USA. The individuals or groups involved with the formulation of these theories and movements developed specific terminologies, or languages of acting, in an attempt to clearly articulate the nature and the practice of acting according to their particular pedagogy or theatrical aesthetic. Now at the dawning of the twenty- first century, Australia boasts quite a number of schools and university courses professing to train actors. This research aims to discover the language used in actor training on the east coast of Australia today. Using interviews with staff of the National Institute of Dramatic Art, the Victorian College of the Arts, and the Queensland University of Technology as the primary source of data, a constructivist grounded theory has emerged to assess the influence of last century‟s theatrical theorists and practitioners on Australian training and to ascertain the possibility of a distinctly Australian language of acting.

  • Than Common Tall”—Much Taller Than Kirstie Hutton’S Celia and Noticeably Taller Than Aaron Blabey’S Orlando
    ‘MORE THAN CO mm ON TALL ’: MEASURING UP T O T HE ‘REAL ’ ROSALIND IN AUS T RALIA KA T E FLAHER T Y UNIVERSI T Y O F SYDNEY Discourse which trades in notions of ‘real’ versions of any Shakespeare character ignores the con- ditions of specific and ephemeral embodiment—being there—which make meaning possible in dramatic performance. Yet theatre reviews of As You Like It evince a pattern of measuring all perfor- mances of Rosalind by the same yardstick—the ‘real’ Rosalind. While there is no ‘real’ Hamlet and no ‘real’ Macbeth enshrined in the collective imagination—these characters thrive on being re-inter- preted by their times and contexts—the myth of a ‘real’ Rosalind, is particularly tenacious and, par- ticularly problematic. Performances of Rosalind are evaluated as participating in (good) or diverging from (bad) a legacy that stretches back to Shakespeare’s own time and by extension to the authority of ‘Shakespeare’s imagination’. The problem with this mode of discourse is that As You Like It is a play for which there is scant evidence of performance before 1723. Even at this date it was brought back to the stage—or rather brought to the vastly different stage of Drury Lane—in a jumbled appropriation called Love in a Forest that included excerpts from many of Shakespeare’s plays.1 There is no continuity from Shakespeare’s period to the present when it comes to Rosalind. Rather, the sensibilities which unwittingly inflect reviews of the role in performance, even in twenty-first-century Australia, can be traced to those of the period of the play’s first known theatre outing.

  • This Summary Is Part of Research on Performance Training in Australia Undertaken by Professor Peta Tait and Dr Melanie Beddie in 2017 Funded by La Trobe University
    This summary is part of research on performance training in Australia undertaken by Professor Peta Tait and Dr Melanie Beddie in 2017 funded by La Trobe University. It researched the influences on, and the training of, prominent teachers working within key training institutions circa 1980 to 2010. Lindy Davies Lindy Davies is an actor, director and actor trainer. She was Head of Acting at Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) from 1979 to 1982 working alongside Peter Oysten, the founding Dean. She returned as Head of Drama from 1995 to 2006. She gained an MA from New York University and was taught by Richard Schechner and others. Davies is recognised for her innovative teaching of acting and directing. She is outspoken about her disinterest in American interpretations of Stanislavski and focuses instead on the actor’s breath and impulse, and finding an imaginative connection to language. After studying at Monash University and training as a drama teacher at Melbourne State College in the 1960s, she developed a series of drama workshops for children at the Carlton Council flats using a combination of her own experiences and the teaching processes of Dorothy Heathcote. Davies helped form the La Mama Experimental Theatre Company, which later became the Australian Performing Group (APG) at the Pram Factory Theatre. In 1976, she travelled overseas to study with Kristin Linklater and Cicely Berry, and it was with these teachers Davies discovered the importance of connecting to impulse, breath and to language. She also attended a workshop with Teo Spycalski, a colleague of Jerzy Grotowsk. Whilst overseas Davies participated in a workshop with Peter Brook and Yoshi Oida whose work confirmed for her the need for artistic collaboration during the rehearsal process.
