  • The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community.

  • Mapping the History of Malaysian Theatre: an Interview with Ghulam-Sarwar Yousof
    ASIATIC, VOLUME 4, NUMBER 2, DECEMBER 2010 Mapping the History of Malaysian Theatre: An Interview with Ghulam-Sarwar Yousof Madiha Ramlan & M.A. Quayum1 International Islamic University Malaysia It seems that a rich variety of traditional theatre forms existed and perhaps continues to exist in Malaysia. Could you provide some elucidation on this? If you are looking for any kind of history or tradition of theatre in Malaysia you won’t get it, because of its relative antiquity and the lack of records. Indirect sources such as hikayat literature fail to mention anything. Hikayat Raja-Raja Pasai mentions Javanese wayang kulit, and Hikayat Patani mentions various music and dance forms, most of which cannot be precisely identified, but there is no mention of theatre. The reason is clear enough. The hikayat generally focuses on events in royal court, while most traditional theatre developed as folk art, with what is known as popular theatre coming in at the end of the 19th century. There has never been any court tradition of theatre in the Malay sultanates. In approaching traditional theatre, my own way has been to first look at the proto- theatre or elementary forms before going on to the more advanced ones. This is a scheme I worked out for traditional Southeast Asian theatre. Could you elaborate on this? Almost all theatre activity in Southeast Asia fits into four categories as follows: Proto-Theatre, Puppet Theatre, Dance Theatre and Opera. In the case of the Philippines, one could identify a separate category for Christian theatre forms. Such forms don’t exist in the rest of the region.

  • Evolution of Street Theatre As a Tool of Political Communication Sangita
    Evolution of Street Theatre as a tool of Political Communication Sangita De & Priyam Basu Thakur Abstract In the post Russian Revolution age a distinct form of theatrical performance emerged as a Street Theatre. Street theatre with its political sharpness left a crucial effect among the working class people in many corner of the world with the different political circumstances. In India a paradigm shift from proscenium theatre to the theatre of the streets was initiated by the anti-fascist movement of communist party of India under the canopy of Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA). In North India Street theatre was flourished by Jana Natya Manch (JANAM) with the leadership of Safdar Hashmi. This paper will explore the background of street theatre in India and its role in political communication with special reference to historical and analytical study of the role of IPTA, JANAM etc. Keywords: Street Theatre, Brecht, Theatre of the Oppressed, Communist Party of India (CPI), IPTA, JANAM, Safdar Hashmi, Utpal Dutta. Introduction Scholars divided the history of theatre forms into the pre-Christian era and Christian era. Aristotle’s view about the structure of theatre was based on Greek tragedy. According to the scholar Alice Lovelace “He conceived of a theatre to carry the world view and moral values of those in power, investing their language and symbols with authority and acceptance. Leaving the masses (parties to the conflict) to take on the passive role of audience...........The people watch and through the emotions of pity & grief, suffer with him.” Bertolt Brecht expressed strong disagreement with the Aristotelian concept of catharsis.

  • Performance in Bali
    Performance in Bali Performance in Bali brings to the attention of students and practitioners in the twenty-first century a dynamic performance tradition that has fasci- nated observers for generations. Leon Rubin and I Nyoman Sedana, both international theatre professionals as well as scholars, collaborate to give an understanding of performance culture in Bali from inside and out. The book describes four specific forms of contemporary performance that are unique to Bali: • Wayang shadow-puppet theatre • Sanghyang ritual trance performance • Gambuh classical dance-drama • the virtuoso art of Topeng masked theatre. The book is a guide to current practice, with detailed analyses of recent theatrical performances looking at all aspects of performance, production and reception. There is a focus on the examination and description of the actual techniques used in the training of performers, and how some of these techniques can be applied to Western training in drama and dance. The book also explores the relationship between improvisation and rigid dramatic structure, and the changing relationships between contemporary approaches to performance and traditional heritage. These culturally unique and beautiful theatrical events are contextualised within religious, intel- lectual and social backgrounds to give unparalleled insight into the mind and world of the Balinese performer. Leon Rubin is Director of East 15 Acting School, University of Essex. I Nyoman Sedana is Professor at the Indonesian Arts Institute (ISI) in Bali, Indonesia. Theatres of the World Series editor: John Russell Brown Series advisors: Alison Hodge, Royal Holloway, University of London; Osita Okagbue, Goldsmiths College, University of London Theatres of the World is a series that will bring close and instructive contact with makers of performances from around the world.

  • History of Theatre Naomi Holcombe KS3 KS3
    History of theatre Naomi Holcombe KS3 KS3 Introduction Naomi Holcombe is a drama teacher and Head of Year 8 at Queen Elizabeth’s The main aim of this scheme is for students to understand different periods in Hospital school in Bristol. She has been theatre history and to learn to perform in those styles. teaching the Edexcel course at GCSE for 10 years. As drama teachers we often cover a range of theatre styles and genres from different time periods at KS3, but it is helpful for students to be able to contextualise these styles in terms of theatre history. Learning about the origins of drama and how it has developed can help students to understand how modern drama has evolved and gives them an overview of theatre across the world, from many thousands of years ago to the present day. Organised into six one-hour lessons delivered over six weeks, this scheme can then be followed by a more in-depth study of particular periods or plays. It is suitable for Years 7, 8 or 9 and can be tailored to the ability level of your students. There are opportunities to stretch and challenge within the lessons or develop lessons further in order to take more time than is suggested here. In this scheme I have referenced and made use of some wonderful National Theatre videos that are on YouTube. These are very useful as they clearly explain and introduce students to key aspects of each style of theatre. Learning objectives Students will gain the following knowledge/skills during the 6 lessons: Resources to be sourced: f An awareness of the first forms of drama f Camera/iPad to record performances f Turning rituals into drama f Internet (YouTube clips) f Understanding the importance of Greek theatre within drama history f Original texts (extracts are provided f Consideration of how the Church used drama to convey morals and messages in the Resources at the end of this scheme, full length texts need to be f Have used example scenarios to create their own commedia dell’arte scenes sourced): Everyman; The Tempest; and characters Waiting for Godot.

The term comes from a Greek word meaning "action" (Classical Greek: drama), which is derived from the verb meaning "to do" or "to act‖. The enactment of drama in theatre, performed by actors on a stage before an audience, presupposes collaborative modes of production and a collective form of reception. The structure of dramatic texts, unlike other forms of literature, is directly influenced by this collaborative production and collective reception.
