  • Joseph Grimaldi
    Joseph Grimaldi The most famous and popular of all the clowns in harlequinade and pantomime was Joseph Grimaldi. Despite his Italian name and family origins, he was born in London in 1779, dying in 1837. His style of clowning had its origins in the Italian commedia dell'arte of the sixteenth century, but in the popular Harlequinades of the early nineteenth century he emerged as the founding father of modern day clowns. To this day he is commemorated annually by clowns in their own church, Holy Trinity in Dalston, East London. Joseph Grimaldi was the original 'Clown Joey', the term 'Joey' being used to describe clowns since his day. Of his own name he punned 'I am grim all day - but I make you laugh at night!' Grimaldi became the most popular clown in pantomime, and was responsible for establishing the clown as the main character in the Harlequinade, in place of Harlequin. His career began at the age of three at the Sadler's Wells Theatre. He was later to become the mainstay of the Drury Lane Theatre before settling in at Covent Garden in 1806. His three year contract paid him one pound a week, rising to two pounds the following year, and finally three pounds a week. His debut at Covent Garden was in 'Harlequin and Mother Goose; or the Golden Egg' in 1806. Grimaldi himself had little faith in the piece, and undoubtedly it was hastily put together on a sparsely decorated stage. However, the production ran for 92 nights, and took over £20,000. The lack of great theatrical scenes allowed Grimaldi to project himself to the fore 'he shone with unimpeded brilliance' once critic wrote.

  • British Music Halls Imagine Your Group Is Helping One of The
    Group 3: British Music Halls Imagine your group is helping one of the Beatles write his autobiography. You will work in small groups and use your knowledge of history to help your Beatle enrich his book. Here are the guidelines: • Below you will see your assigned historical term. Each group has a different term from a different period in their subject’s life. • You also have received sources related to that term. • Use this information to write a paragraph of 3-5 sentences for your Beatle’s autobiography. • Your sentences should connect his life to the term and use the first person. For example, “I remember watching the ships come in to the Liverpool docks.” • Write your paragraph on the board or on a piece of paper large enough for the whole class to read. • Share it with the class. • As the other groups share their paragraphs, copy the story in your “Autobiography of a Beatle” handout. Term: Music Hall For more than a century, British music halls were one of the main sources of entertainment for ordinary Britons, particularly from the working class. Music halls featured variety shows offering many different types of performance, but were best known for offering catchy songs in which the audience would join in on the chorus. Performers often laced their songs with comedy, sometimes wearing eccentric costumes on stage. While they eventually declined, music halls were still a popular form of entertainment immediately after World War II, a place where hard-working people could go and forget about their troubles. The music hall was a significant part of the Liverpool culture scene and had a large impact on the Beatles.

  • 1 Applauding the Victorian Music Hall Melissa Angelina Manserra Fourth
    Applauding the Victorian Music Hall Melissa Angelina Manserra Fourth Year Paper Citation Style: Chicago Manual of Style The Victorian music hall must be treated as a unique form of entertainment, as it recast relations between the popular and the people. It offered audiences a diverse programme, which other institutions were unable, or unwilling, to provide. Once music hall embedded itself into the cultural landscape of Victorian Britain, it became an essential component of life that provided individuals, including women, with a way to articulate their identities. This analysis will pay specific attention to the development of the music hall in London, as it primarily thrived in that city, but claims will also be made about its presence in Scotland and other regions. Programmes presented and commented on social and political trends by addressing the concerns of working- class life. Although it was a community-based institution born ‘from below’, it eventually spread to include the middle class, as it was subjected to a process of commercializationi. Music halls became a socially disputed institution because of their cultural dominance and the challenge they posed to ‘legitimate’ forms of theatre. As a result, the form of entertainment created specifically for and by the ‘common’ people, ceased to exist. Music halls transformed the social, urban, and cultural environment in Victorian Britain. The social relationship between and among working and middle class cultures shaped and was therefore shaped by this process. The primary material from this era reveals the powerful influence that music hall had on the lives of all those involved, both throughout the nineteenth-century, as well as within twentieth-century contexts.

  • V&A Acquires Wilton's Music Hall Archive
    V&A Acquires Wilton's Music Hall Archive vam.ac.uk | @V_and_A Embargoed until 30 October 2017 The Victoria and Albert Museum, London (V&A) has acquired the archive of the world’s oldest surviving grand Victorian music hall, dating from 1871 to the present day. Wilton’s Music Hall extensive archive features an array of material including an 1871 sketch of the interior, a campaign poster to save the building from destruction and handmade tickets constructed from old beer boxes that record the history of the building and its most famous performances. In 1853, five houses located on Grace's Alley in London’s East End were combined into one venue by John Wilton, becoming a Music Hall attracting the greatest talents of the day. Over the next 100 years Wilton’s Music Hall had a varied career becoming a Methodist Mission from 1888 and, surviving the Blitz, standing in as a rag sorting warehouse in 1956. The threat of destruction loomed in the 1960s and campaigners fought to protect the beloved former music hall. Amongst them, poet and comedian Spike Milligan, whose letters can be found in the archive, alongside photographs and sketches that document the campaign history. In the 1970s, the building was awarded Grade II listed status and the first trust to raise funds to buy the lease was founded. Despite the initial repairs, the Music Hall became derelict and attracted artists due to its atmospheric space. Behind the scenes photography shows the shoot for the notorious, banned music video for Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Relax.

  • Early Music Hall in Bristol
    EARLY MUSIC HALL IN BRISTOL by KATHLEEN BARKER PUBLISHED BY THE BRISTOL BRANCH OF THE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION, THE UNIVERSITY, BRISTOL Price Si,oty Pence 1979 Wine is a thing Thait makes a body sing - Pass round the bottle and start ... (Hooray for Daisy, Theatre Royal, 1959) In this spirit was music hall born, in Bristol as elsewhere; in the ta vems and the ,randier earring houses, aJt the Pleasure Gardens where song and dance accompanied al fresco refreshmeil't.The first trace of organised entertainment in a Bristol public house comes in 1786, when the proprietor of the Old Trout Tavern .in Cherry Lane off Stokes Croft advertised "Comus' Court" to be held on 6 June, when The Gentlemen of the original Catch-Club, Castle-Ditch, have generously offered their kind Assistance for that Night only ... N.B. This Evening is intended to be chearful and harmonious, with Variety of SONGS by Mr. DEARLE, for his Benefit, being the last Night of his performing in Bristol. - Admittance One Shilling, at Eight o'Clock.1 There were also a number of attempts between about 1740 and 1778 to set up an equivalent of London's Vauxhall or Cremorne Gardens as adjuncts to the then popular spa at Hotwells. Unfor­ tunately all such attempts foundered either on West Country wea­ ther or artistic temperament or a blend of both.2 With the decline of the Hotwells at the turn of the century, no more Pleasure Gardens were opened on that side of the city, but from 1813 the owner of the Three Blackbirds Tavern (on the north side of Stapleton Road, opposite the present railway station) began to let his Gardens for Grand Gala Fetes, usually to cele­ brate Royal birthdays.

  • Lin Elinor Petterson, ‘Gendered Spaces and Theatricality
    GENDERED SPACES AND THEATRICALITY IN PETER ACKROYD’S DAN LENO AND THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM Lin Pettersson Universidad de Málaga [email protected] This paper examines theatrical acts of performance in Peter Ackroyd’s Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem (1994) and looks into how the author engages the Victorian world of music hall with the Ripper murders. I will focus on how the protagonist Elizabeth Cree uses her performatory skills to commit murders in terms of theatricality by turning the city of London into her stage. By stepping into the footlights and later transfer the spectacle off stage, Elizabeth Cree destabilizes gender and space as fixed categories by bending limits and crossing boundaries. In doing so she depends on the performatory condition of the city. In my study the protagonist’s interaction with the city I will examine how she approaches it first as a flâneur, an urban stroller and observer, and then, look into how she steps in from the margins to enact murder on the centre-stage of London. Keywords: Theatricality, gender, neo-Victorian fiction, Peter Ackroyd, London Peter Ackroyd (b 1949) has established himself as one of the most popular London writers, alongside Iain Sinclair, as he shows a certain predisposition towards the city. Ackroyd has repeatedly insisted on the inherent performativity of the capital and in London: A Biography (2000) he argues that theatricality is London’s single most important characteristic (152). In his neo-Victorian novel Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem (1994), which evolves within the Victorian music hall, historical accuracy and literary authorship are at play.
