Copyright: Hannah Williams Walton 2011 Photo from the Blast Theory website: http://www.blasttheory.co.uk/bt/index.php Abstract Technology is now an integral part of modern society from the internet; to computers, mobile phones and gaming. It is clear that technology has made massive advances to society in terms of connecting the world however we must also examine the disciplines which may be struggling to adapt. The world of arts and theatre is a form that is routed in tradition which brings limitations in how far people are willing to push against normal conventions. This dissertation explores three sections of technology within theatre. „Digital Technology and Theatres‟ which explores the impact that the internet has had on the theatre in terms of marketing; and participation in the arts; looking at specific theatre websites, and the services Digital Theatre and National Theatre Live. „Technology and the internet in contemporary plays‟ looks at Tim Fountain‟s play Sex Addicts that uses the internet live during performance, and the work that contemporary playwrights have developed to stage modern technology within their work. From Patrick Marber‟s chatroom scene in Closer, to Chatroom by Enid Walsh that is set almost entirely in a virtual world. „Digital Performance‟ explores theatre companies and practitioners that are pushing the boundaries between performance and technology, to create contemporary pieces of theatre. The research identified Connected an organisation dedicated to working with artists who use live and interactive media; this included Duncan Speakmen, Hide and Seek and Blast Theory.

    An Investigation Into How Engagement with the Context and Processes of Collaborative Devising Affects the Praxis of the Playwright

    An Investigation into How Engagement with the Context and Processes of Collaborative Devising Affects the Praxis of the Playwright: A Practice-as-Research PhD Volume 2 223 Practice-As-Research: The 9.21 to Shrub Hill (Devised Production) Playground (Non-Devised Production) and Accompanying Exegesis 224 Chapter Five Exegesis of the Processes of Creating a Devised Script (The 9.21 to Shrub Hill) and Non-Devised Script (Playground) Introduction The preceding chapters have created a framework for the analysis of my own experiences as a writer-deviser. Without this framework, it would be difficult to situate my practice within a theoretical context, since a similar academic discourse, placing the writer-deviser at the heart of the study, does not exist. As highlighted in the Introduction, the central query of this dissertation is how engagement with devising affects a playwright. This is a query with important ramifications for pedagogical practice and the discourses of devising and playwriting in general, but also represents a significant investigation in the development of my own artistic practice. As previously discussed, my methodological approach encompasses both research-led practice, and practice-led research.1 The preceding chapters have informed the development of the two scripts contained within this volume, and the development of the two scripts directed the focus of my research. As with most PaR investigations, the findings resulting from the practice share equal weighting (if not, in the case of some researchers, more) with those discoveries made from traditional, text-based research methodologies. Whilst I explore the ramifications of devising practice on my writing, I am also placing it within the context of the previous chapters’ revelations, finding resonances with the work of other writer-devisers, and testing out the theories presented of both devising and writing in my own work.

    Hegel's Theory of Tragic Heroes

    HEGEL’S THEORY OF TRAGIC HEROES: THE HISTORICAL PROGRESS OF SUBJECTIVITY A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Rachel C. Falkenstern May 2016 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Kristin Gjesdal, Advisory Chair, Philosophy Dr. Susan Feagin, Philosophy Dr. Espen Hammer, Philosophy Dr. Paul Kottman, External Member, Comparative Literature and Philosophy, The New School for Social Research © Copyright 2016 by Rachel C. Falkenstern All Rights Reserved € ii ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that Hegel’s theory of tragedy is best understood in combination with his theory of the historical progress of subjective freedom, and that this progress is manifested as the heroes of tragic drama in its different stages of antiquity, early modernity, and late modernity. The truth of tragedy for Hegel, like the content of all art, progresses concomitantly with human freedom, reason, and subjectivity. Likewise, humanity’s self-understanding of these aspects of itself also historically progresses. In this light, I further argue that Hegel’s theory shows tragedy to be not only a historically contextualized cultural practice and form of self-understanding but also a presentation of absolute truth: the truth of a culture at a particular historical moment is presented in its tragedy, yet that culture is a part of a larger narrative, so that a common thread running through tragic drama of all eras comes to light when tragedy is examined through the lens of Hegel’s philosophy. Specifically, I show that Hegel views self-contradiction, alienation, and the drive to reconcile these as underlying universal human conditions, and in tragedy this universal truth is embodied in the tragic hero.

    pressinformation finboroughtheatre Lucifer Saved The world premiere of a new play by Finborough Theatre Playwright-in-Residence Peter Oswald Directed by Reuben Grove. Designed by Louie Whitemore. Lighting by Scott McMullin. Music by Alastair Putt. Cast: Penelope Dimond. Richard Franklin. Ria Jones. Jacob Krichefski. Tom Sangster. Pericles Snowdon. Liana Weafer. The world premiere of a new play by Peter Oswald, Finborough Theatre Playwright-in-Residence, opens on 30 October 2007 for a four week run as part of the multi-award-winning Finborough Theatre’s [ new work season 2007 ]. Lucian Willow has a dark past; so dark he can’t remember it. Twenty years after the end of the Second World War, a former Army Chaplain lives in a state of amnesia on his old comrade Lord Brook’s country estate, deep in the slumbering fields of England. The arrival of a circus from across the channel - with its anarchic forces of magic and comedy - impels these wounded men to confront their horrifying and entangled past. Written in verse and prose, Lucifer Saved is an astonishing interweaving of modern story and Christian myth, of tragedy and comedy, by the UK’s foremost verse playwright. Peter Oswald was writer-in-residence at the Globe Theatre where his plays The Storm, The Golden Ass and Augustine’s Oak were all produced. In 2005, his version of Schiller’s Mary Stuart, directed by Phyllida Lloyd, transferred to the West End after a sell-out run at the Donmar Warehouse. Other London credits include The Odyssey and Shakuntala (Gate Theatre), Dona Rosita: The Spinster (Almeida), Fair Ladies at a Game of Poem Cards (National Theatre), and Don Carlos (Lyric).

    Issue 4 (2009)

    NEW VOICES IN CLASSICAL RECEPTION STUDIES Issue 4 (2009) RECENT THEATRICAL AND MUSICAL ADAPTATIONS OF APULEIUS´ METAMORPHOSES © Hendrik Müller-Reineke, University of Göttingen Undoubtedly, no other work of ancient literature is so full of theatrical episodes, masquerades, and pantomime as Apuleius’ novel Metamorphoses, also known as The Golden Ass from the second century AD,1 in which Lucius, a young man, is accidentally turned by witchcraft into asinine form and in this guise experiences a stream of adventures before he gains his human form back only by initiation to the cult of the goddess Isis. As Regine May has recently shown convincingly, drama is used constantly as an intertext in all of Apuleius’ works, and especially in the Metamorphoses the author makes use of the readers’ knowledge of contemporary drama, in particular comedy, to interpret the comic adventures of his protagonist.2 It is therefore unsurprising that soon after this only Latin novel to have survived as an entirety was translated into the modern languages, it was also, at least partially, adapted for the stage. In earlier centuries though, these adaptations are limited to the inset story of Cupid and Psyche. The reason for that is the overall atmosphere of the story which forms the framework of Apuleius’ novel with its somewhat loose morality: Lucius’ sexual encounters with Photis and even more his carnal adventures in asinine form were for many centuries not considered as a suitable topic for a literary or a theatre audience. However, with the radical changes in the attitudes of the Western world towards sexual morality and ever growing sexual freedom since the 1960s our attitude towards certain aspects of classical literature has fundamentally changed, and this change also had an enormous influence on the reception of this most fascinating piece of ancient literature.

    109-112 BOOK REVIEW Lorna Hardwick

    http://akroterion.journals.ac.za BOOK REVIEW Lorna Hardwick. Translating Words, Translating Cultures. London: Duckworth, 2000 (in the series “Classical Interfaces”). Pp. 160. ISBN 0 7156 2912 3. Paperback. £9.99 Reviewed by Richard Whitaker (University of Cape Town) What exactly does (or should) translation from one language into another try to do? Attempt to convey to readers of the target language (the language into which one is translating) something of the strangeness, difference and historicity of the original in the source language (the language from which one is translating)? Or must translation try to bridge the gap between source and target language, by rendering the original in a thoroughly contemporary style and diction, as if this were a work being written now for the first time? And related to these the further questions: how closely should a translation render the genre, language, metre, style and content of the original? How far can a translation depart from the original without ceasing to be a translation – in other words, where is one to situate the border between “translation”, “version” and “adaptation”? This book’s approach to such questions is discursive rather than normative. Hardwick offers no grand theory of translation; she describes rather than prescribes. Obiter dicta, however, such as “the main function of a translation from classical poetry...is to provide a contemporary means of understanding and responding to the ancient work” (pp. 11-12), together with her choice of translators for discussion – Christopher Logue, Tony Harrison and Derek Walcott, among others – suggest the direction of her sympathies. Hardwick’s way of proceeding is to look in some detail at a particular instance of a translation/version/adaptation of a classical work, and while so doing to comment on the implications this has for our understanding of translation as an art.

    LEDBURY POETRY FESTIVAL 2O15 03–12 July 2015 Programme poetry-festival.co.uk @ledburyfest Ledbury Poetry Festival 3 -12 July 2015 Thank you to all the generous and enthusiastic people who give their time and energy to making the Festival the jam-packed, fun-filled, world-class poetry event that it is. Thank you to all our volunteers who help with administration, stewarding, hospitality, accommodation, driving and much more. Thanks also to all our sponsors and supporters. This Festival grew out of its community and it remains a community celebration. Community Programme Poets Brenda Read Brown and Sara-Jane Arbury work all year round with people who may never be able to attend a Festival event, who have never attempted creative writing before, or have never taken part in any cultural activity. The impact this work can have is astounding. The Community Programme reaches out to people facing social exclusion due to physical or mental health issues, disability or learning challenges and engages them in life-affirming ways with poetry and the creative process. See the Mary and Joe event on Sunday 12th July. Recent projects have included poetry writing in doctors’ surgeries and hospital waiting rooms, and with vulnerable women at a women’s shelter. Opportunities for self-expression in these communities are hugely rewarding for all involved. “You’ve woken something up in me!” said one participant. This is only possible due to funding from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Garfield Weston Foundation, Herefordshire Community Foundation and Sylvia Adams Charitable Trust. Poets in Schools All year round the Festival sends skilled and experienced poets into schools across Herefordshire to enable pupils to read, write and thoroughly enjoy poetry.
