  • The Player and the Playing: an Interpretive Study of Richard
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 442 143 CS 510 330 AUTHOR Henry, Mallika TITLE The Player and the Playing: AA Interpretive Study of Richard Courtney's Texts on Learning through Drama. PUB DATE 1999-00-00 NOTE 411p.; Doctoral dissertation, School of Education, New York University. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses Doctoral Dissertations (041) EDRS PRICE MFO1 /PC17 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Drama; *Learning Processes; Metaphors; Qualitative Research; *Scholarship ABSTRACT Using qualitative and interpretive methodologies, this dissertation analyzed Richard Courtney's writings to interpret his basic ideas on learning through drama. It focused on later writings (1989, 1990, 1995, 1997) in which Courtney distilled ideas he had been working on for as many as 30 years. It approached Courtney's texts using dramatistic metaphors which concretized his predominantly abstract writings. These metaphors focused on finding the basic elements of a drama: the setting, the act, the actor, and the Other. Through the lenses afforded by these metaphors, the thesis examined Courtney's wide-ranging, eclectic and often imprecise ideas to distill major themes. Courtney used notions like metaphor, symbol, ritual, Being, mind, perspective, oscillation and quaternity with apparently shifting definitions and loosely circumscribed meanings. It collected and analyzed Courtney's meanings recursively, both distilling Courtney's meanings and expanding them through concrete hypothetical examples. Courtney wrote about drama in abstract terms, using notions he had garnered from other disciplines to describe the process of learning through drama. The final construction that emerged in this dissertation represents the experience of the actor/learner: it is concentric, radiating from a nub which represents the feelings and imagination of the actor.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT This thesis explores aspects of Brecht's adaptations of Shakespeare's plots and rhetoric while focusing particularly on matters of structural influence. Both authors use metafictional references in their plays to foreground a stylised artificiality, thereby pointing to the interaction of social and literary semiotics. These 'alienating' strategies expose the construction and the limitations of ideologies presented in a play, demanding recognition of the dialectical processes thus engaged. The study of Brecht's theory and practice against the background of Shakespeare's drama produces new insight into B:recht's works; similarly, Shakespeare's plays viewed against the background of Brecht's theatre and dramatic theory provide new insight into Shakespeare's literary practice.

  • On the Symbolism of Drama Stage Character Modeling Design Hui Zhang Wuhan Textile University Zooooooh [email protected]
    Advances in Computer Science Research (ACSR), volume 73 7th International Conference on Education, Management, Information and Computer Science (ICEMC 2017) On the Symbolism of Drama Stage Character Modeling Design Hui Zhang Wuhan Textile University Zooooooh [email protected] Keywords: Symbolism; Emotional needs; Drama stage character design Abstract. With the social progress and the development of new consumption culture, people’s aesthetic concept has also changed. At this time, the design advocated in the design circle is urging accordingly, and designers pay more attention to people’s emotional needs. For example, the word “symbolism” has gradually emerged in the design theory. At present, “symbolism” is a very important factor in the design of characters in theater stage. This paper conducts preliminary exploration and thinking of the application of “symbolism” in the design of drama stage characters combined with examples. Introduction Nowadays, with the rapid development of the society, new consumption cultures are constantly emerging. In the design field, while new design concepts are being constantly absorbed, we are more determined on the consensus, i.e., more attention is paid to people’s emotional needs in the process of design. The application of the “symbolism” technique, one of the important techniques of art expression, is particularly obvious in the field of design. This paper elaborates on the application of “symbolism” in drama stage character modeling design to some extent so as to carry out preliminary exploration and reflection of how to better play the supporting role of drama stage character modeling design at present. Symbolism Symbolism is one of the oldest and most basic way of thinking for people to learn about the world.
