Otherwise there is the Casino Theatre where GAOS is currently performing that very modern, magnificent and dramatic musical extravaganzaCABARET ! Thankyou for joining us.

Over the past forty years she has not only served on the Committee in various capacities but also performed in over twenty GAOS shows and produced at least sixteen more of them. She is one of the founders of the GAOS Choral Group, and as an organizer of the Society’s Musical Evenings has helped GAOS in raising over 130,000 Swiss francs for charity. As a producer she has been known chiefly for her pantomimes (including Aladdin, Ali Baba, Babes in the Wood, Little Red Riding Hood, Robinson Crusoe and Sinbad the Sailor – twice!), operettas (The Merry Widow, The White Horse Inn) and the works of Gilbert and Sullivan (Princess Ida, The Mikado, The Gondoliers, Iolanthe, Trial by Jury). Now, with Cabaret, Sue has chosen to focus her directorial skills on a high-profile Broadway musical. With typical thoroughness, she has investigated the historical period and social context of the story as well as the show’s literary antecedents (the works of Christopher Isherwood dealing with life in Berlin in the 1920s and 30s – see page 28), and this informed approach, combined with her usual high standards and masterful staging, is sure to result in yet another triumph for GAOS. 5 Weekly removals to Switzerland?

When Sharon made her GAOS stage debut as a butterfly inSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Sue was playing the role of Principal Boy and then many years later it was Sue who cast Sharon in her first role as Principal Boy. So, keeping the tradition going and being in a position to learn from the GAOS Gem that is Sue whilst putting on Cabaret was just too amazing an opportunity to pass by. Sharon thanks Sue for thinking of her. Sharon would like to send a special thanks out to her Dad (Rodney) for coming out of “retirement” a second time to stage manage this show. Working with Sue on Directing and being Rodney’s Assistant Stage Manager is like taking a GAOS Masterclass in Production. Lastly, but by no means least, a massive thank you to all the cast and everyone involved on the production team for making this a fun and enjoyable experience. 7 ALLARDYCE MALLON – THE MUSICAL DIRECTOR Originally from Scotland, Allardyce gained his degree in musicology, history and composition at the University of Edinburgh. He went on to study for his Masters in composition at the University of Surrey, England, and then to Geneva where he gained his diploma in conducting and the Prix du Conservatoire for composition. He became very active in several musical ventures in the Geneva area, including the GAOS productions of The Producers, Chess, Iolanthe and Oliver! He also worked as assistant conductor at the Grand Théâtre de Genève Billy( Budd by Britten) and with the San Francisco Opera (Pelléas et Melisande by Debussy). Holder of the Walter Susskind Scholarship, he spent time at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama in Glasgow where he gained experience as a repetiteur and conductor. From 2003 to 2007 he was repetiteur and assistant conductor at the Meiningen Theater in Germany, which was followed by an engagement in Weimar at the Deutsches Nationaltheater und Staatskapelle. Further engagements included the Grand Théatre de Luxembourg Le( Nozze di Figaro), the Utah Symphony and Opera in Salt Lake City (Cenerentola), the Sondsershausen Schlossfestpiele in Germany (Die Zauberflöte) and several seasons at the Festival International d’Art Lyrique at Aix-en- Provence. Often based in Switzerland, he was in charge of music for the Swiss Fête des Vignerons in 1999, as well as for the Opening Ceremony of the Expo.02 in Neuchâtel. He works a lot with young musicians all over Switzerland, training players for the national brass championships, preparing and accompanying students for exams at various conservatoires, as well as coaching singers. 9 From 3-11 years old Where life-long learning begins Geneva English School | Route de Malagny 36, CP 40 1294 Genthod | Geneva, Switzerland Tel: +41 22 775 04 40 | [email protected] | www.geschool.ch THE CHOREOGRAPHERS MARIA ANDERSON Born and bred in the U.K. Trained in London. Moved to Switzerland in 1968. Taught classical ballet and was a pregnant wolf and alligator in a Player’s Theatre pantomime. After a year in Spain under Franco, Maria arrived back in Geneva gasping to dance and paint again. She taught at the Migros Club (in terrible French), did shows, painted and started a dance school, which she ran for thirty years. This explains, she hastens to add, why she is so old! By chance, her neighbour persuaded her to audition for tap dancing at the GAOS Music Hall in 1988.

  • Discipleship in the Works of Christopher Isherwood
    Prague Journal of English Studies Volume 8, No. 1, 2019 ISSN: 1804-8722 (print) '2,10.2478/pjes-2019-0005 ISSN: 2336-2685 (online) A Bond Stronger Than Marriage: Discipleship in the Works of Christopher Isherwood Kinga Latała Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland is paper is concerned with Christopher Isherwood’s portrayal of his guru-disciple relationship with Swami Prabhavananda, situating it in the tradition of discipleship, which dates back to antiquity. It discusses Isherwood’s (auto)biographical works as records of his spiritual journey, infl uenced by his guru. e main focus of the study is My Guru and His Disciple, a memoir of the author and his spiritual master, which is one of Isherwood’s lesser-known books. e paper attempts to examine the way in which a commemorative portrait of the guru, suggested by the title, is incorporated into an account of Isherwood’s own spiritual development. It discusses the sources of Isherwood’s initial prejudice against religion, as well as his journey towards embracing it. It also analyses the facets of Isherwood and Prabhavananda’s guru-disciple relationship, which went beyond a purely religious arrangement. Moreover, the paper examines the relationship between homosexuality and religion and intellectualism and religion, the role of E. M. Forster as Isherwood’s secular guru, the question of colonial prejudice, as well as the reception of Isherwood’s conversion to Vedanta and his religious works. Keywords Christopher Isherwood; Swami Prabhavananda; My Guru and His Disciple; discipleship; guru; memoir e present paper sets out to explore Christopher Isherwood’s depiction of discipleship in My Guru and His Disciple (1980), as well as relevant diary entries and letters.

Güçlü (pp. 548-562) 44-Christopher Isherwood’s A Single Man: A work of art produced in the afternoon of an author’s life Gökben GÜÇLÜ1 APA: Güçlü, G. (2020). Christopher Isherwood’s A Single Man: A work of art produced in the afternoon of an author’s life. RumeliDE Dil ve Edebiyat Araştırmaları Dergisi, (Ö8), 548-562. DOI: 10.29000/rumelide.816962. Abstract Beginning his early literary career as an author who nurtured his fiction with personal facts and experiences, many of Christopher Isherwood’s novels focus on constructing an identity and discovering himself not only as an adult but also as an author. He is one of those unique authors whose gradual transformation from late adolescence to young and middle adulthood can be clearly observed since he portrays different stages of his life in fiction. His critically acclaimed novel A Single Man, which reflects “the afternoon of his life;” is a poetic portrayal of Isherwood’s confrontation with ageing and death anxiety. Written during the early 1960s, stormy relationship with his partner Don Bachardy, the fight against cancer of two of his close friends’ (Charles Laughton and Aldous Huxley) and his own health problems surely contributed the formation of A Single Man. The purpose of this study is to unveil how Isherwood’s midlife crisis nurtured his creativity in producing this work of fiction. From a theoretical point of view, this paper, draws from literary gerontology and ‘the Lifecourse Perspective’ which is a theoretical framework in social gerontology.

  • Christopher Isherwood in Transit: a 21St-Century Perspective ​
    Transcription University of Minnesota Press Episode 2: Christopher Isherwood in Transit: A 21st-Century Perspective ​ https://soundcloud.com/user-760891605/isherwood-in-transit Host introduction: Isherwood in Transit is a collection of essays that considers ​ ​ Christopher Isherwood as a transnational writer whose identity politics and beliefs were constantly transformed by global connections arising from journeys to Germany, Japan, China and Argentina; his migration to the United States; and his conversion to Vedanta Hinduism in the 1940s. We're here today to talk about Isherwood's reception and history of publication in the US, as well as what we mean by the title Isherwood in Transit, which is open to interpretation and refers to the ​ ​ writer's movement on a personal and spiritual level as much as geographic. Here we have book editors Jim Berg and Chris Freeman, who have co-edited several volumes on Isherwood, including The Isherwood Century and The American Isherwood. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Berg is associate dean of faculty at the Borough of Manhattan Community College in New York City. Freeman is professor of English and gender studies at the ​ ​ University of Southern California. They are joined by University of Minnesota press ​ ​ director Doug Armato. This conversation was recorded in June 2020. ​ Jim Berg: This is Jim Berg. Here's a quick bit of background on Christopher ​ Isherwood. He was born in 1904 in England. His best-known British work is Goodbye to Berlin from 1938, which was published with Mr. Norris Changes ​ ​ Trains in the United States as The Berlin Stories featuring Sally Bowles. And that ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ was turned into the musical Cabaret.

  • The Unforgiving Margin in the Fiction of Christopher Isherwood
    The Unforgiving Margin in the Fiction of Christopher Isherwood Paul Michael McNeil Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 Copyright 2011 Paul Michael McNeil All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Unforgiving Margin in the Fiction of Christopher Isherwood Paul Michael McNeil Rebellion and repudiation of the mainstream recur as motifs throughout Christopher Isherwood‟s novels and life, dating back to his early experience of the death of his father and continuing through to the end of his own life with his vituperative rant against the heterosexual majority. Threatened by the accepted, by the traditional, by the past, Isherwood and his characters escape to the margin, hoping to find there people who share alternative values and ways of living that might ultimately prove more meaningful and enlightened than those they leave behind in the mainstream. In so doing, they both discover that the margin is a complicated place that is more often menacing than redemptive. Consistently, Isherwood‟s fiction looks at margins and the impulse to flee from the mainstream in search of a marginal alternative. On the one hand, these alternative spaces are thought to be redemptive, thought to liberate and nourish. Isherwood reveals that they do neither. To explore this theme, the dissertation focuses on three novels, The Berlin Stories (The Last of Mr. Norris and Goodbye to Berlin), A Meeting by the River, and A Single Man, because ach of these novels corresponds to marginal journeys of Isherwood— namely, his sexual and creative exile in Berlin from 1929 to 1933, his embrace of Hindu philosophy, and his life as a homosexual.
