Introduction Commedia Dell’Arte: History, Myth, Reception Daniele Vianello
Introduction Commedia dell’Arte: History, Myth, Reception Daniele Vianello Today, the commedia dell’arte is widely regarded as one of the most significant phenomena in the history of European theatre. Its famous stock characters, which have become an integral part of the collective imagin- ation, are widely accepted as the very emblem of theatre. From the second half of the twentieth century onwards, the commedia dell’arte has been the subject of substantial research, mostly by Italian scholars, who have re-evaluated its characteristic features and constitutive elements. These studies remain largely untranslated in English. Further- more, there are no publications which provide a comprehensive overview of this complex phenomenon or which reconstruct not only its history but also its fortunes over time and space. An historical overview was published by Kenneth and Laura Richards in , but this is now considered dated. More recent studies are limited to the discussion of specific issues or to particular geographical areas or periods of time. For example, Robert Henke (), Anne MacNeil () and M. A. Katritzky () analyse individual aspects between the late Renaissance and the early seventeenth century. The Routledge Companion to Commedia dell’Arte (Chaffee and Crick ) has the practitioner rather than the scholar in focus. In Italy, Roberto Tessari () and Siro Ferrone (), in their important recent contributions focus almost exclusively on the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The main purpose of this book is to retrace the history of the improvvisa in light of its legendary past, with special focus on the theatrical practices and theoretical deliberations in the century which has just ended. -
Making Their Mark 17
Making Their Mark 17 A CELEBRATION OF GREAT WOMEN ARTISTS Susan Mary "Lily" Yeats, in a 1901 portrait by Photograph of Susan Mary "Lily" Yeats (left) and Elizabeth Corbet "Lolly" Yeats (right). Elizabeth Corbet "Lolly" Yeats, in an 1887 Jack Butler Yeats. National Gallery of Ireland. portrait by Jack Butler Yeats. Sisters Susan Mary "Lily" Yeats (1866-1949, above, left) and Elizabeth Corbet "Lolly" Yeats (1868-1940, above, right) were pivotal figures in the advancement of the Arts and Crafts style in Ireland. Founded in England by the British designer William Morris, the Arts and Crafts Movement advocated traditional, handcrafted objects as a rebellion against soulless factory-made furnishings. The Yeats sisters were from a preeminent Irish family--their father John and brother Jack were noted painters, and their other brother was the renowned poet William Butler Yeats. Born in Enniscrone, County Sligo, Ireland, Lily Yeats was a frequent visitor to William Morris when her family moved to London in the 1870s; she would learn embroidery from his daughter, May Morris. Younger sister Lolly Yeats, also in the Morris circle, was more interested in painting and printing; by the end of the century she had written and illustrated four instructional books on sketching directly with a brush. Upon returning to Ireland, both sisters would co-found the Dun Emer Guild, a Arts and Crafts group in Dublin managed and staffed entirely by women, with the textile designer Evelyn Gleeson (1855-1944). Guilds, as opposed to factories, were a return to the Medieval and Renaissance guilds that once served as the primary centers of art production. -

The Performative Nature of Dramatic Imagination
PERFORMANCE PHILOSOPHY E-ISSN 2237-2660 The Performative Nature of Dramatic Imagination Rubén Vega BalbásI IUniversidad Nebrija – Madrid, Spain ABSTRACT – The Performative Nature of Dramatic Imagination – Creative imagination is a central concept in critical philosophy which establishes the framing faculty of the subject in the middle of the cognitive process. Linking the internal and the external, imagination is also key for dramatic acting methodologies. This mediation has been alternatively interpreted in Western tradition under a reversible perspective, giving priority to either the process that goes from the outside inwards (aesthesis) or just the opposite (poiesis). Going beyond dialectics, this article will connect philosophy with dramatic theory. My proposal explores the virtual drama of identity to emphasise how the transcendental and empirical get linked theatrically. Keywords: Imagination. Drama. Performance. Acting. Performance Philosophy. RÉSUMÉ – La Nature Performatif de l’Imagination Créatice – L’imagination créatrice est un concept central de la philosophie critique qui établit la faculté de cadrage du sujet, dans la mesure où elle joue le rôle de médiateur entre le monde mental et le monde matériel, au milieu du processus cognitif. Liant l’imaginaire à l’externe, l’imagination est également essentielle pour les méthodologies du jeu dramatique. Cette médiation a été interprétée alternativement dans la tradition occidentale selon une perspective réversible, en donnant la priorité soit au processus allant de l’extérieur vers l’intérieur (aesthesis), soit au contraire (la poiesis). Au-delà de la dialectique, cet article associera la philosophie à la théorie dramatique. Ma thèse explore le drame virtuel de l’identité et, si l’imagination et les actes performatifs dépendent les uns des autres en tant que poursuites humaines, avec le terme dramatisation je souligne comment le transcendantal et l’empirique sont liés théâtralement. -

Out of Hours Art Living tHe dreAm The Scottish Colourists Series: JD Fergusson 7 December 2013 – 15 June 2014 Scottish National Gallery Of Modern Art (Modern Two) 73 Belford Road, Edinburgh EH4 3DS In Midnight in Paris, Woody Allen transports his leading character back to the Paris of La Belle Epoque, the glorious period at the start of the 20th century when the French capital was the centre of artistic freedom. Just over a century ago, a young Scottish medical student similarly transported himself to live in that fantastic, creative melting pot. John Duncan Fergusson spent 2 years at Edinburgh University before giving up his medical studies to become a painter, initially visiting France in summers when he stayed as long as he could afford, but in 1905 he moved permanently, abandoning family and convention, to live the rest of his J. d.

Madge Atkinson (1885-1970) and Natural Movement
Pioneer Women: early British modern dancers June 2008-May 2010 Project Background and Aims Funded through the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s Resource Enhancement Scheme, the primary focus of this project was on two previously closed archive collections containing material representing forms of ‘barefoot dance’ that were prominent in early twentieth century Britain. The archives are specific to the work of Madge Atkinson (1885-1970) and Ruby Ginner (1886-1978) (the collection of Bice Bellairs), both pioneers of early British modern dance forms which embraced naturalism and neo-classical ways of moving. In addition, the project processed materials from two solo dancers working in modern dance forms influenced by European practice, Ludi Horenstein (also known as Ludmila Mlada or Rosemary Young) and Leslie Burrowes. The project undertook vital cataloguing and preservation work to ensure the permanence and accessibility of the materials and records. However, the overall aim was to increase interest and scholarship in these previously overlooked areas of British dance and, more specifically, the practitioners who contributed to the expansion of the art form. The project was a collaboration between the National Resource Centre for Dance, the Department of Dance, Film and Theatre of the University of Surrey and an eminent Dance Historian based at Middlesex University. The project was guided by a select steering group and developed with the expertise of two key dance scholars Professor Rachel Fensham and Professor Alexandra Carter. The opening and publicising of these collections, subsequent research into them, and a series of events aimed to re-establish the largely forgotten place of Atkinson, Ginner, Horenstein and Burrowes in dance history. -
JAMES A. ROBINSON BLACKWELL, OKLAHOMA Our Constitution Sustained by Free Men Note: James A
1950 JAMES A. ROBINSON BLACKWELL, OKLAHOMA Our Constitution Sustained by Free Men Note: James A. Robinson of Blackwen Oklahoma, won the thirteenth annual American Legion High School Oratorical Contest. The national finals contest, conducted in Phoenix, Arizona, saw Robinson defeat three other national finalists to capture the $4,000 first place award. Second place went to Edmund Kersten of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He took home a $2,500 scholarship. The third-place winner was Rodney Mara of Rhode Island who received a $4,000 scholarship. Fourth place went to Ross Larson of Kansas City, Kansas. He received a $500 stipend. The strength of the Constitution of the United States lies in the spirit by which it is sustained by free men. The very character of this dynamic document thrives on free men's meeting changing conditions. The American way of life always presents an enticement to free men, a challenge to be an individualist, to pioneer. The American people, free as they are, never hesitate to sweat and toil, to die if necessary, for a better day. In the pioneer spirit, free men nurture our free nation. When the Fathers of this noble Republic launched the Ship of State in 1789, the pioneer spirit, the spirit of the Constitution, flourished. Tides of rugged individualism swept over the treacherous mountains, across the mighty Mississippi, up the rolling plains to the steep Rockies and beyond until this young nation of free men had stretched her borders from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Over the swollen streams the pioneer led his family. In ox cart, in covered wagon, on foot, the young and the old alike dared to make their way. -

John Duncan Fergusson (1864-1961) • Fergusson was born outside Edinburgh in March 1874, from a middle-class family • He spent two years at the School of Art • However, a formal artistic training did not appeal to him and he was frustrated by the conservative and old-fashioned teaching • Throughout his career he was highly anti-establishment • Responded by establishing his own studio and teaching himself to paint • He ended up studying in Paris at the Academies Colarossi in 1895 • Here he was exposed to Parisian Avant Garde café culture – where ideas of artists, writers, poets etc were exchanged in the vibrant city • This would have involved spending time and sharing ideas with artists such as Picasso and Matisse • He was able to visit exhibitions and was exposed to the work of the Impressionists • Paris had a huge impact on him, and he continued to return every summer for ten years • The Fauve exhibition at the Salon Automne in 1905 had a big impact on his work • By 1907 he moved to Paris permanently and exhibited his own work at the Salon des Indipendents and the Salon D’Automne • During this time his work evolved, with bold and vibrant colours becoming key • In 1910 his work underwent a shift again where he produced a large number of female nude paintings • Colour, line and form became hugely significant in his work and he showed clear influences by Matisse • After 1912 he mostly focused on landscape painting • His work shows that he was influenced by Cézanne • While being inspired by others he used what he saw to create his own style
