  • 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.

  • A "Merry War": Synetic's Much Ado About
    A "Merry War": Synetic's Much Ado About Nothing and American Post-war Iconography Sheila T. Cavanagh, Emory University Abstract Synetic Theatre, a Washington, D.C. area theatrical company with artistic roots in the Republic of Georgia, has achieved significant renown for its ongoing series of "wordless" Shakespeare performances. Highly choreographed, these "physical theater" productions vary dramatically in tone and presentation, although they each use distinctive costuming, music, and movement in order to offer nuanced interpretations of Shakespearean drama despite the absence of spoken language. Although their style closely resembles dance, they push against those definitional boundaries and encourage audiences to view their presentations as movement-based genre pieces that defy ready categorization. Shakespeare without Spoken Language Synetic Theatre, a Washington, D.C. area theatrical company with artistic roots in the Republic of Georgia, has achieved significant renown for its ongoing series of "wordless" Shakespeare performances.1 Highly choreographed, these "physical theater" productions vary dramatically in tone and presentation, although each uses distinctive costuming, music, and movement in order to offer nuanced interpretations of Shakespearean drama, despite the absence of spoken language. Although their style closely resembles dance, they push against those definitional boundaries and encourage audiences to view their presentations as movement-based genre pieces that defy ready categorization. Beginning with Hamlet . the Rest is Silence in 2002, Synetic has created award- winning productions of eleven Shakespearean plays, including Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Antony and Cleopatra, Othello, King Lear, The Taming of the Shrew, and Twelfth Night. Their eleventh offering in this series, Much Ado About Nothing, premiered in February 2015.

  • Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet: Making Art and Memories a Note from the Founding Artistic Director
    2 Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet: Making Art and Memories A Note from the Founding Artistic Director This is Chesapeake Shakespeare Company’s 50th production. That’s a lot of plays. Most of the plays we’ve produced have been written by Shakespeare (35), and we have performed some of these Shakespeare plays more than once. These productions have run the gamut of style and intent. From the medieval palette of our Hamlet and Henry V to the modern-dress of our Twelfth Night and The Merry Wives of Windsor, our Shakespeare productions have tried to capture what is universal about these works. We’ve visited the 19th and 20th centuries most frequently, and set some productions in fan- tastic worlds that don’t relate to specific times in history. We’ve also produced works by other great playwrights, including Moliere, Lope de Vega, Thornton Wilder, Anton Chekhov and Oscar Wilde, and adapted works by Aristophanes, Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. Our plays have wrestled with our shared agonies and highlighted life’s absurdities. The productions have been about war, love, ambition, deception, sex and politics. They’ve been side-splittingly funny and devastatingly heartbreaking. They’ve been grand and in- timate, light and dense. Imperfect? You bet. We’ve always firmly believed in taking artistic risks. We are always asking “what makes Shakespeare and other classic theater great?” I’ve been proud of all of our work, but I must say I’ve been especially proud of our work that tries new things -- that succeeds and fails with brave attempts to connect audiences to these great plays.

QUAKER LANE ALEXANDRIA, VA 22302 www.bravespiritstheatre.com From the Artistic Director William Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616, at the age of ffty-two. This year, 2016, marks the passage of four hundred years since his death. Around the globe, theatre companies and artists are celebrating with lectures, performances, readings, and other cultural events. It may seem strange to celebrate the anniversary of someone’s death, but I think what we have to be glad of here is the fact that Shakespeare did not end on that day in April so many years ago.

    By William Shakespeare Directed by Ian Gallanar September 16 – October 9, 2016 The Perils of Isolation A Note from the Founding Artistic Director This play, Othello, is different from the 25 other Shakespeare plays we have produced since 2002. Unlike his plays that are set in tightly woven communities, Ian Gallanar. Photo by Theatre Othello depends so much more on isolation – physical Consultants Collaborative Inc. isolation as well as isolation of thought. The action moves from the metropolis of Venice to the island of Cyprus, where we spend most of our time in the play. On Cyprus is a castle, a fortress where Othello is himself isolated—he has no family other than his new wife. He has no fellow countrymen. There is only his army to protect him in his isolation. After Othello, Iago, Desdemona, Emilia, and Roderigo have arrived in Cyprus, they have nothing to do but prey upon one another. Isolation enables many of the play’s most important effects: Iago frequently speaks in soliloquies; Othello stands apart while Iago talks with Cassio in Act IV, scene I; Roderigo seems attached to no one in the play except Iago. And, most prominently, Othello is visibly isolated from the other characters by his physical stature and the color of his skin. Iago, an expert at manipulating emotion and environment, knows exactly how to use this isolation to his benefit. The characters fall because they are isolated, the play seems to say. That is unique among Shakespeare’s plays, and it is the source of the sadness that exists in the community of the play.
