  • Read the Journal
    Journal Jesse Bia Professor Peck ENG 252 2/5/2009 Introduction This journal is designed to be both objective and subjective at the same time. The focus of each entry is what I felt the Director’s vision for each particular show, was regardless of the previous histories of representation; the focus is on just the specific versions of the shows we have seen. Once laying out what I believe this vision to be, which is essentially my thesis, I then look at the various aspects of the show which contribute to or detract from the stated vision and goal for each production. Each entry is divided into four parts, the first three of which are meant to be object and thus written in a more academic matter, and last fourth meant to be subjective and thus written slightly less formally. These four parts are as follows: Overall Synopsis and Director’s Vision: In this section I briefly lay out and define what I feel the Director’s vision for the show, and what overall message the show was trying to deliver; essentially, what was the goal of the show itself. Setting: In the setting section I focus on the various sets, props, chronological placement (time in history in which show takes places), lighting, sound, music and even the actual theatre itself, to see how these physical aspects of the show contribute to the overall goal and vision of the show. Audience and Intention: Here I focus on two things. Firstly, who is this show designed for? Adults, children, or both? A certain nationality perhaps? Secondly, I focus on the actor’s performance, their stage directions, and the overall presenting of the play, to see how this contributes to the overall vision and goal of the show.

  • 2 to Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different
    2 To Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different The context for difference This chapter aims to identify some of the bands that enjoyed chart success during the late 1970s and ’80s and identify their artistic traits by means of conversations with band members and those close to the bands. This chapter does not claim to be a definitive account or an inclusive list of innovative bands but merely a viewpoint from some of the individuals who were present at the time and involved in music, creativity and youth culture. Some of these individuals were in the eye of the storm while others were more on the periphery. However, common themes emerge and testify to the Scouse resilience identified in the previous chapter. Also, identifying objective truth is a difficult task, as one band member will often have a view of his band’s history that conflicts with that of other members of the same band. As such, it is acknowledged that this chapter presents only selective viewpoints. Trying something new: In what ways were the Liverpool bands creative and different? ‘Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticized anyone for taking a chance.’ David Morrissey1 In terms of creativity, the theory underpinning this book which was stated in Chapter 1 is that successful Liverpool bands in the 1980s were different from each other and did not attempt to follow the latest local or national pop music trends. None of the bands interviewed falls into the categories of punk, disco or New Romantic, which were popular trends at the time.
