  • Bertolt Brecht - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Bertolt Brecht - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Bertolt Brecht(10 February 1898 – 14 August 1956) Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht; was a German poet, playwright, and theatre director. An influential theatre practitioner of the 20th century, Brecht made equally significant contributions to dramaturgy and theatrical production, the latter particularly through the seismic impact of the tours undertaken by the Berliner Ensemble — the post-war theatre company operated by Brecht and his wife, long-time collaborator and actress Helene Weigel. <b>Life and Career</b> Bavaria (1898–1924) Bertolt Brecht was born in Augsburg, Bavaria, (about 50 miles (80 km) north- west of Munich) to a conventionally-devout Protestant mother and a Catholic father (who had been persuaded to have a Protestant wedding). His father worked for a paper mill, becoming its managing director in 1914. Thanks to his mother's influence, Brecht knew the Bible, a familiarity that would impact on his writing throughout his life. From her, too, came the "dangerous image of the self-denying woman" that recurs in his drama. Brecht's home life was comfortably middle class, despite what his occasional attempt to claim peasant origins implied. At school in Augsburg he met Caspar Neher, with whom he formed a lifelong creative partnership, Neher designing many of the sets for Brecht's dramas and helping to forge the distinctive visual iconography of their epic theatre. When he was 16, the First World War broke out. Initially enthusiastic, Brecht soon changed his mind on seeing his classmates "swallowed by the army".

Herb rated it really liked it Jan 24, For the committee, there was also no "text" -the committee did not accept Wilson's explanation that it had a "visual book," Wilson's sketches for the production. Andrew Berman Architect is a New York City-based practice focused on the realization of unique and finely executed buildings and public spaces. An obvious example is the relationship he outlined between his stage work and the contemporary dance scene. Community Reviews. His techniques for doing so are taken from the canon of modernist minimalism not surprising, since a number of his most successful pieces have been collaborations with Phil Glass; even his graphic works are exhibited in modernist galleries. A press conference let Wilson demonstrate his feeling for words: "he simply repeated the word 'dinosaur' over and over, for twelve hours, while cutting an onion the whole time. This prelinguistic world leaves the audience's expectations more than free; it lets them float. That is, would Wilson's approach to postmodern critique be clear to an audience that understood when a work was contrasting cultural spheres but was relatively insensitive to the high-culture politics of that work's cultural context?

Hoberman, Andrea Lissoni, Jerry Tartaglia, Benjamin Léon, “Jack Smith Report,” La Furia Umana, 2016 Jack Smith Report KEN JACOBS / An Email About Jack Smith (and the Cheap Shoes) !Dear Ken, how are you? I just wanted to say that I am gonna to publish that special dossier on Jack Smith (with J. Hoberman, Jerry Tartaglia, Marc Siegel, David E. James, and others). Next week. I also hope we can do a big special dossier about you, next year, with your cooperation. Best, Toni October 8, 2016 Dear Toni, I super-approve, time for another realization of Jack’s genius. Writing on me next year, most appreciated. My only regret, I would’ve liked to write something regarding Jack. Something without objectivity, personally pissed and in every way off the deep end. I would've written about the cheap shoes we saw for sale placed with others on wooden crates on Second Avenue on the old Lower East Side. No, they weren’t shoes, that was the whole point! They were rubbers, made to imitate shoes, with every detail copied from shoes in relief and standing out or sinking in but all made of rubber -shoelaces! molded of rubber- and big enough to fit Jack. I urged him to buy it, thinking it would amuse him but he shot me down, choosing not to be amused and accusing me of dreadful taste. He was probably pretending he could afford them and was choosing not to, the pretentious bastard.

  • City Lights Pocket Poets Series 1955-2005: from the Collection of Donald A
    CITY LIGHTS POCKET POETS SERIES 1955-2005: FROM THE COLLECTION OF DONALD A. HENNEGHAN October 2005 – January 2006 CITY LIGHTS POCKET POET SERIES 1955-2005 From the collection of Donald A. Heneghan In 1995, Lawrence Ferlinghetti wrote the following Introduction to the City Lights Pocket Poets Anthology. Ten years later and with the addition of five new volumes of poetry, including this year's The Language of Saxophones, Selected Poems by Kamau Daáood, Ferlinghetti's words still ring true. The impact of this series remains as strong today as when the first volume was published fifty years ago. INTRODUCTION Even though some say that an avant-garde in literature no longer exists, the smaller independent publisher is itself still a true avant-garde, its place still out there, scouting the unknown. And as long as there is poetry, there will be an unknown, as long as there is an unknown there will be poetry. The function of the independent press (besides being essentially dissident) is still to discover, to find the new voices and give voice to them—and then let the big publishers have at them—which is what has happened in our case—many authors we first printed now being published by the biggest houses in the world. Still, what one scout on some imagined frontier may discover and choose as a way forward may turn out to be merely a cowpath leading back to the barn or a false lead trailing off into the woods. Choosing a retrospective of forty years of City Lights Pocket Poets—fifty-two volumes—is a critical exercise at every step testing how right or how important (or how trivial) the editor’s choices were.

  • Final Thesis Draft
    Puppet Theater in the German-Speaking World by Connor Bartlett Doe A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in German Thesis Committee: Steven Fuller, Chair Oscar Fernández William Fischer Portland State University ©2010 ABSTRACT This work begins with a brief history of puppet theater in Germany. A look at important social aspects, pertinent philosophical discussions and the significance of puppet theater in the German literary tradition follow. The final chapter looks at Peter Schumann, a German puppeteer and artist who lives in America. In Germanistik, German puppet theater deserves a devoted place in the field of legitimate study in terms of its history, content and influence. Puppet theater’s historical development in Germany represents the larger evolution of Germany. From ancient times up to the present day, this artistic form of representation has enjoyed an audience in the German-speaking regions. The evolution of puppet theater parallels Germany’s quest for legitimacy as a nation and desire for cultural unification. A study of puppet theater thematizes the issue of popular cultural history. For most of its existence in Germany, puppet theater served as popular entertainment. The conception of folk art and folklore – which includes puppet theater – by the German Romantics led them to believe that folk artists possessed a mysterious authenticity inaccessible to Classicists and their narrowly-defined world of high art. Much German literature and thought from the 19th century onward shows a fondness for the Volk aspect of puppet theater. Puppet theater and its reception in German Romanticism helped to shape literary and philosophical themes that would lead to further recognition of puppetry as an art form and an integral aspect of German culture.
