  • Gesture and Movement in Silent Shakespeare Films
    Gesticulated Shakespeare: Gesture and Movement in Silent Shakespeare Films Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Rebecca Collins, B.A. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Alan Woods, Advisor Janet Parrott Copyright by Jennifer Rebecca Collins 2011 Abstract The purpose of this study is to dissect the gesticulation used in the films made during the silent era that were adaptations of William Shakespeare's plays. In particular, this study investigates the use of nineteenth and twentieth century established gesture in the Shakespearean film adaptations from 1899-1922. The gestures described and illustrated by published gesture manuals are juxtaposed with at least one leading actor from each film. The research involves films from the experimental phase (1899-1907), the transitional phase (1908-1913), and the feature film phase (1912-1922). Specifically, the films are: King John (1899), Le Duel d'Hamlet (1900), La Diable et la Statue (1901), Duel Scene from Macbeth (1905), The Taming of the Shrew (1908), The Tempest (1908), A Midsummer Night's Dream (1909), Il Mercante di Venezia (1910), Re Lear (1910), Romeo Turns Bandit (1910), Twelfth Night (1910), A Winter's Tale (1910), Desdemona (1911), Richard III (1911), The Life and Death of King Richard III (1912), Romeo e Giulietta (1912), Cymbeline (1913), Hamlet (1913), King Lear (1916), Hamlet: Drama of Vengeance (1920), and Othello (1922). The gestures used by actors in the films are compared with Gilbert Austin's Chironomia or A Treatise on Rhetorical Delivery (1806), Henry Siddons' Practical Illustrations of Rhetorical Gesture and Action; Adapted to The English Drama: From a Work on the Subject by M.

  • 1 Shakespeare and Film
    Shakespeare and Film: A Bibliographic Index (from Film to Book) Jordi Sala-Lleal University of Girona [email protected] Research into film adaptation has increased very considerably over recent decades, a development that coincides with postmodern interest in cultural cross-overs, artistic hybrids or heterogeneous discourses about our world. Film adaptation of Shakespearian drama is at the forefront of this research: there are numerous general works and partial studies on the cinema that have grown out of the works of William Shakespeare. Many of these are very valuable and of great interest and, in effect, form a body of work that is hybrid and heterogeneous. It seems important, therefore, to be able to consult a detailed and extensive bibliography in this field, and this is the contribution that we offer here. This work aims to be of help to all researchers into Shakespearian film by providing a useful tool for ordering and clarifying the field. It is in the form of an index that relates the bibliographic items with the films of the Shakespearian corpus, going from the film to each of the citations and works that study it. Researchers in this field should find this of particular use since they will be able to see immediately where to find information on every one of the films relating to Shakespeare. Though this is the most important aspect, this work can be of use in other ways since it includes an ordered list of the most important contributions to research on the subject, and a second, extensive, list of films related to Shakespeare in order of their links to the various works of the canon.

  • The Evolution of the Heldentenor
    THE EVOLUTION OF THE HELDENTENOR : SIEGMUND, GRIMES, SAMSON, AND OTELLO by JAMES HENRY SEAY, III SUSAN CURTIS FLEMING, COMMITTEE CHAIR PAUL H. HOUGHTALING STEPHEN V. PELES LINDA PAGE CUMMINS AMANDA W. PENICK ELIZABETH S. AVERSA A DMA MANUSCRIPT Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the School of Music in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2014 Copyright James Henry Seay, III 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The purpose of this manuscript is to set into context a recital which highlights the attributes of the Heldentenor. The recital was held on 11 March 2014 and was comprised of operatic excerpts from Wagner’s Die Walk üre (1870), Saints-Sa ëns’ Samson et Dalila (1877) , Britten’s Peter Grimes (1945), and Verdi’s Otello (1887). All four of these operas have become mainstays in the repertoire of the Heldentenor . The program from the recital appears in the appendix at the end of this manuscript, and the program includes translations of the operatic excerpts and the text of spoken introductions that were read as part of the recital. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the Heldentenor voice classification has played an integral role in popular opera theater. The origin of the Heldentenor classification can be traced back to the abrupt change in the performance practice of the upper register of the tenor voice with the now famous performance of the full-throated, chest high Cs in Rossini’s Guillame Tell sung by Gilbert-Louis Duprez (1806-1896) at the national opera in Paris in 1837.1 As the technique involving the upper register of the tenor voice changed, the vocal and dramatic demands placed on the voice type increased.

  • The Destructive and Redemptive Power of Illusion: Verdi's Shakespearean Tragedy Otello
    Mediterranea 2013 THE DESTRUCTIVE AND REDEMPTIVE POWER OF ILLUSION: VERDI’S SHAKESPEAREAN TRAGEDY OTELLO1 Maria Frendo Iago: It is as sure as you are Roderigo, Were I the Moor, I would not be Iago. In following him, I follow but myself; Heaven is my judge, not I for love and duty, But seeming so, for my peculiar end; For when my outward action doth demonstrate The native act and figure of my heart In complement extern, ‘tis not long after But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve For daws to peck at. I am not what I am. (1. i, 56-65) Duke: If virtue no delighted beauty lack, Your son-in-law is far more fair than black. (I. iii, 289-90) The two quotations above, significantly both occurring in Act One of Shakespeare’s play, indicate that all it not what it seems. Neither Othello nor Iago are to be taken at face value and the intimation is that the audience treats black as white and white as black. Again, we are in that perplexing world of Macbeth’s initial scene of the first Act, where the Weird Sisters claim: “Fair is foul, and foul is fair”.2 Shakespeare’s Influence on Verdi Verdi states most unequivocally that Shakespeare was not only an enduring presence in his life but was also had a formative influence. He states that Shakespeare is “a favourite poet of mine, whom I had had in my hands from earliest youth and whom I read and reread constantly”.3 The great Italian composer was not only a superb musician but he was also widely read in a variety of literary works that came out of West- ern Europe.
