  • Macbeth in World Cinema: Selected Film and Tv Adaptations
    International Journal of English and Literature (IJEL) ISSN 2249-6912 Vol. 3, Issue 1, Mar 2013, 179-188 © TJPRC Pvt. Ltd. MACBETH IN WORLD CINEMA: SELECTED FILM AND TV ADAPTATIONS RITU MOHAN 1 & MAHESH KUMAR ARORA 2 1Ph.D. Scholar, Department of Management and Humanities, Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology, Longowal, Punjab, India 2Associate Professor, Department of Management and Humanities, Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology, Longowal, Punjab, India ABSTRACT In the rich history of Shakespearean translation/transcreation/appropriation in world, Macbeth occupies an important place. Macbeth has found a long and productive life on Celluloid. The themes of this Bard’s play work in almost any genre, in any decade of any generation, and will continue to find their home on stage, in film, literature, and beyond. Macbeth can well be said to be one of Shakespeare’s most performed play and has enchanted theatre personalities and film makers. Much like other Shakespearean works, it holds within itself the most valuable quality of timelessness and volatility because of which the play can be reproduced in any regional background and also in any period of time. More than the localization of plot and character, it is in the cinematic visualization of Shakespeare’s imagery that a creative coalescence of the Shakespearean, along with the ‘local’ occurs. The present paper seeks to offer some notable (it is too difficult to document and discuss all) adaptations of Macbeth . The focus would be to provide introductory information- name of the film, country, language, year of release, the director, star-cast and the critical reception of the adaptation among audiences.

  • Neoliberalism and Aesthetic Practice in Immersive Theatre
    Masters i Constructing the Sensorium: Neoliberalism and Aesthetic Practice in Immersive Theatre A dissertation submitted by Paul Masters in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Drama Tufts University May 2016 Adviser: Natalya Baldyga Masters ii Abstract: Associated with a broad range of theatrical events and experiences, the term immersive has become synonymous with an experiential, spectacle-laden brand of contemporary theatre. From large-scale productions such as Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More (2008, 2011) to small-scale and customizable experiences (Third Rail Projects, Shunt, and dreamthinkspeak), marketing campaigns and critical reviews cite immersion as both a descriptive and prescriptive term. Examining technologies and conventions drawn from a range of so-called immersive events, this project asks how these productions refract and replicate the technological and ideological constructs of the digital age. Traversing disciplines such as posthumanism, contemporary art, and gaming studies, immersion represents an extension of a cultural landscape obsessed with simulated realities and self-surveillance. As an aesthetic, immersive events rely on sensual experiences, narrative agency, and media installations to convey the presence and atmosphere of otherworldly spaces. By turns haunting, visceral, and seductive spheres of interaction, these theatres also engage in a neoliberal project: one that pretends to greater freedoms than traditional theater while delimiting freedom and concealing the boundaries

  • Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson Phd 2020
    Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson PhD 2020 Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester RACHEL MARGARET JOHNSON A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Awarded for a Collaborative Programme of Research at the Royal Northern College of Music by Manchester Metropolitan University 2020 Abstract My dissertation demonstrates how a new and distinctive musical culture developed in the industrialising society of early Victorian Manchester. It challenges a number of existing narratives relating to the history of music in nineteenth-century Britain, and has implications for the way we understand the place of music in other industrial societies and cities. The project is located at the nexus between musicology, cultural history and social history, and draws upon ideas current in urban studies, ethnomusicology and anthropology. Contrary to the oft-repeated claim that it was Charles Hallé who ‘brought music to Manchester’ when he arrived in 1848, my archival research reveals a vast quantity and variety of music-making and consumption in Manchester in the 1830s and 1840s. The interconnectedness of the many strands of this musical culture is inescapable, and it results in my adoption of ‘networks’ as an organising principle. Tracing how the networks were formed, developed and intertwined reveals just how embedded music was in the region’s social and civic life. Ultimately, music emerges as an agent of particular power in the negotiation and transformation of the concerns inherent within the new industrial city. The dissertation is structured as a series of interconnected case studies, exploring areas as diverse as the music profession, glee and catch clubs, the Hargreaves Choral Society’s programme notes, Mechanics’ Institutions and the early Victorian public music lecture.

Megan Huggins TDR 3510 Theatre History I Fall 2018 1 Breaking Down the Fourth Wall with Artaud, Punchdrunk, and the Wooster Group Innovations in technology change the way people connect, and storytelling must adapt and evolve to keep up. In theatre, smarter technology creates more intricate designs and improves the use of lights, sound, costumes, and sets to support storytelling in bold ways. With these innovations, welcoming the audience into a story becomes more natural and more personal. These advances blend easily with Antonin Artaud’s vision of a shocking Theatre of Cruelty that connects audiences to the actors and stories in more profound, more emotional ways. Many companies worldwide have grown out of Artaud’s vision of theatre, including the Wooster Group and Punchdrunk. How do these theatre groups use Artaud’s principles to break the fourth wall with their storytelling, and what effect does this have on modern audiences? By incorporating Artaud’s ideas, the Wooster Group’s Hamlet and Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More use technology, design, and audience participation to eliminate the boundaries in theatre and bring classics to the contemporary world.

    Fandom and Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More Audience Ethnography of Immersive Dance Julia M. Ritter As I approach the McKittrick Hotel on 27th Street in New York City, the venue for Punch­ drunk’s immersive Macbeth­inspired production of Sleep No More, the scene outside resem­ bles a nightclub queue — people waiting for entry, chatting excitedly. Upon entering, we all go through the same routine: checking coats and bags, and paying for admittance. The ticket is a playing card and each person gets a different suit at random — heart, diamond, spade, club. We are directed to a dimly lit staircase and climb quietly, minds and bodies focused on mounting each step safely. The darkness deepens as we reach the landing and enter a pitch­black corridor Julia M. Ritter is Chair and Artistic Director for the Dance Department at Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University. She completed her PhD in Dance at Texas Woman’s University and has received two awards for her research on dance and immersive performance, including the 2016 Cohen Lecture Award from the Selma Jeanne Cohen Fund for International Scholarship on Dance (USA), and the 2014 Prix André G.

  • Punchdrunk Audience Development: What We Can Learn from Their Processes
    PUNCHDRUNK: A CASE STUDY Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Master of Science in Arts Administration Drexel University By Laura M. Keegan, B.F.A. * * * * * Drexel University 2013 Approved by Dr. Jean Brody, D.F.A Advisor Graduate Program in Arts Administration Copyright by Laura M Keegan 2013 ABSTRACT This case study investigates the growth and development of Punchdrunk, a United Kingdom (U.K.) based Theater Company. Punchdrunk‟s dedication to its aesthetic and brand, combined with dual leadership, creative marketing and inventive partnerships have positioned the organization to reach large audiences and remain nimble in an unstable sector. This paper finds that this organization has risen to the challenge of maintaining artistic integrity and remaining sustainable, challenges which are faced by all nonprofit arts organizations. The combination of traditional funding mechanisms, alternative revenues, creative partnerships and corporate sponsorship enable Punchdrunk to continue to pursue their ambitious mission: to transform the passive consumption of the arts into life changing experiences for everyone. i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thank you to Punchdrunk‟s leadership, cast and volunteers. Executive Director, Colin Marsh was very kind to offer access to the U.S. premiere of Sleep No More in Boston, Massachusetts. In late February 2010, the organization also welcomed participation in their New York production both as a volunteer and as an audience member. In addition, I would like to personally thank the Arts Administration team at Drexel University, my friends and family and especially, my partner, Jeremy Burrell for his assistance proofreading and editing. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ......................................................................................................... i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .................................................................................. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ..................................................................................
