  • Judgment at Nuremberg, Including Pre- and Post-Show Discussions Conducted by Community Leaders and This Expanded Audience Guide
    Theater you can afford to see— plays you can’t afford to miss! About The American Century Theater The American Century Theater was founded in 1994. We are a professional company dedicated to presenting great, important, but overlooked American plays of the twentieth century . what Henry Luce called “the American Century.” The company’s mission is one of rediscovery, enlightenment, and perspective, not nostalgia or preservation. Americans must not lose the extraordinary vision and wisdom of past playwrights, nor can we afford to surrender our moorings to our shared cultural heritage. Our mission is also driven by a conviction that communities need theater, and theater needs audiences. To those ends, this company is committed to producing plays that challenge and move all Americans, of all ages, origins and points of view. In particular, we strive to create theatrical experiences that entire families can watch, enjoy, and discuss long afterward. These audience guides are part of our effort to enhance the appreciation of these works, so rich in history, content, and grist for debate. The American Century Theater is a 501(c)(3) professional nonprofit theater company dedicated to producing significant 20th Century American plays and musicals at risk of being forgotten. This program is supported in part by Arlington County through the Arlington Commission for the Arts and Arlington Cultural Affairs, a division of Arlington Economic Development; the Virginia Commission for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Arts; the Arlington Community Foundation; and many generous donors. The American Century Theater thanks the Arlington Community Foundation for its generous grant permitting increased community outreach and education around our production of Judgment at Nuremberg, including pre- and post-show discussions conducted by community leaders and this expanded Audience Guide.

The more highly charged the event, the more evocative it is, the greater the incentive to become invested in different versions of it.”1 This is true of any historic event, but quite possibly the best event to fit this description is the Holocaust of the Jews in Europe. Those of us who did not endure the concentration camps have no way to know exactly how it felt to be in that situation. Elie Wiesel said this while criticizing the acclaimed mini-series Holocaust.2 We only know what we have seen in the representation of the event, so we have seen different versions of the Shoah3.

  • E.A. Mccaffrey. Ph D Thesis. Incapacity and Theatricality Copy Including
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UC Research Repository i INCAPACITY AND THEATRICALITY: POLITICS AND AESTHETICS IN THEATRE INVOLVING ACTORS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theatre and Film Studies in the University of Canterbury by Edward Anthony McCaffrey University of Canterbury 2015 ii Abstract This thesis examines the relationship between people with intellectual disabilities and theatrical performance. This type of performance has emerged from marginalized origins in community arts and therapeutic practices in the 1960s to a place at the forefront of commercial and alternative theatre in the first two decades of the twenty first century. This form of theatre provokes an interrogation of agency, presence, the construction and performance of the self, and the ethics of participation and spectatorship that locates it at the centre of debates current in performance studies and performance philosophy. It is a form of theatre that fundamentally challenges how to assess the aesthetic values and political efficacies of theatrical performance. It offers possibilities for thinking about and exploring theatrical performance in a conceptual and practical space between incapacity and theatricality that looks toward new and different ecologies of meaning and praxis. The methodology of the thesis is a detailed analysis of the presence and participation of people with intellectual disabilities in specific performances that include a 1963 US film, a 1980 Australian documentary, the collaboration of Robert Wilson with autistic poet Christopher Knowles, and recent performances by Christoph Schlingensief, Back To Back Theatre and Jérôme Bel’s collaboration with Theater HORA.

  • FROM the CINEMA SCREEN to the SMARTPHONE: a Study of the Impact of Media Convergence on the Distribution Sector of American Independent Cinema 2006 – 2010
    FROM THE CINEMA SCREEN TO THE SMARTPHONE: A study of the impact of media convergence on the distribution sector of American independent cinema 2006 – 2010 Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Hayley Trowbridge. September 2014 (initial submission) April 2015 (final submission) Thesis Number: 20120341 ABSTRACT FROM THE CINEMA SCREEN TO THE SMARTPHONE: A study of the impact of media convergence on the distribution sector of American independent cinema 2006 – 2010 Hayley Trowbridge Film distribution has undoubtedly changed during this contemporary era of media convergence, with a range of innovative practices and methods being adopted across US film and the arrival of new organisations to the industry and distribution sector. This should not suggest that conventional distribution and marketing methods are extinct, or that the traditional gatekeepers of these fields are obsolete. Rather it should indicate a merging of old and new strategies, practices, methods, and organisations, and it is through this fusion of tradition and novelty that today’s complex distribution landscape has emerged. At the forefront of many of these changes has been American independent cinema and as such, the central question posed by this thesis is: how has media convergence impacted on the distribution and marketing of American independent cinema, and how can this impact be understood in terms of wider technological, industrial and sociocultural contexts relevant to the current media landscape? In answering this, this thesis provides a comprehensive re-mapping of the distribution sector of American independent cinema, in terms of the distributors involved and methods and strategies through which films are being released, within this contemporary era of media convergence.

  • In the Shadow of the Moon 2007 PG 109 Minutes David Sington And
    In the Shadow of the Moon 2007 PG 109 minutes David Sington and Christopher Riley's acclaimed documentary reveals the history of the Apollo space program through interviews with the brave astronauts who lived through a paradigm-shifting chapter in world history. Devoted to President John F. Kennedy's goal of sending a man to the moon, the NASA project pushed the envelope of what was humanly possible. But the program also experienced several failures, one of which resulted in tragedy. Man on Wire 2008 PG-13 94 minutes Philippe Petit captured the world's attention in 1974 when he successfully walked across a high wire between New York's Twin Towers. This Oscar winner for Best Documentary explores the preparations that went into the stunt as well as the event and its aftermath. Obsessed with the towers even before they were fully constructed, Petit sneaked into the buildings several times to determine the equipment he needed to accomplish his daring feat.
