His father was a failed corn-merchant, with a drinking problem and a squint (which Oscar Wilde's father, a leading Dublin surgeon, tried unsuccessfully to correct); his mother was a professional singer, the sole disciple of Vandeleur Lee, a voice teacher claiming to have a unique and original approach to singing.

Largely based in the cities of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, it is performed throughout the country by professional artists, mainly men, who have passed down the art among family members for numerous generations. There is also a wide following of both male and female amateurs who practice and perform its chant, dance, and instruments. KYOGEN Kyogen is the classical comic theater which balances the more serious Noh. While Noh is musical in nature, Kyogen emphasizes dialogue. The two are traditionally performed alternately on the same program and they share a common heritage. Read More Go to Site eOneill.com: An Electronic Eugene O'Neill Archive Votes:0 New!

Some students chose to discuss texts from the middle ages only, others compared texts from this period with texts from the "renaissance." The essays below are organized in broad categories to suggest the variety of the responses. Many essays fit several categories. A separate archive contains the original proposals for these essays.

Its inception goes back to the latter part of the 16th century and, with extensive and continuous evolution, it has now been perfected into a state of classical refinement. Though not as flourishing as it once was, the kabuki theater retains a wide popularity among the people, and is in fact drawing quite large audiences even now. During the period generally referred to as the Edo Era, during which much of the development of kabuki took place, distinction between the warrior class and the commoners was more rigidly observed than at any other time in Japan's history. The art of kabuki was cultivated mainly by the merchants in those days. They had be come increasingly powerful economically Read More Go to Site Federal Theatre Project Collection: Home Page Votes:0 The Library of Congress Music Division, Library of Congress Browse: Productions of Macbeth, Power, and The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus Playscripts | Administrative Records (This collection is not searchable at this time.)

Although accounts of this period are inadequate, it appears that the poet Thespis developed a new musical form in which he impersonated a single character and engaged a chorus of singer-dancers in dialogue. As the first composer and soloist in this new form, which came to be known as tragedy, Thespis can be considered both the first dramatist and the first actor. Of the hundreds of works produced by Greek tragic playwrights, only 32 plays by the three major innovators in this new art form survive. Aeschylus created the possibility of developing conflict between characters by introducing a second actor into the format. His seven su Read More Go to Site History of Theatre in the ?esk?

The Easter plays showing Christ's life were already played in the 14th century in the Zlat? Koruna monastery. From the 15th century rather secular theatre plays started to take off among common people. Their actors were mostly the jugglers acting out different events. Plays played in the castle, in the Jesuits college and also later in the town theatre in ?esk?

The first Harlequin we hear of is Alberto Naselli, from Bergamo, in 1572. Harlequin, a poor character, wearing a colorful patched costume, the patches probably remnants of richer costumes. From a primitive na?ve and simple character, he evolves into a smart, more sophisticated one, that with his simplicity outwits all the arrogant and greedy personages with whom he interacts. Anarchic kind of behavior, always hungry and with no money, in modern times he could have been a hippie. The evolution of the character went on until the 18th century, when it became too sophisticated, no more wit, the hunger and fantasy gone.

Votes:0 Menander After the Macedonian conquest, Greek comedy moved away from the daring personal and political satire of Aristophanes . Lacking complete political independance, writers of this New Comedy found themselves moving towards safer more mundane subject matter. They found their inspiration in the daily life of Athens. Their characters were drawn from the cooks, merchants, farmers and slaves of the city. According to ancient report, the most gifted of these new writers was Menander. Menander, the child of a distinguished family, wrote more than 100 plays during a career that spanned about thirty-three years. He was known for the delicacy and truthfulness of his characterizations, and his poetic style was often mentioned in the same breath as Homer's.

These menimitated black musical and dance forms, combining savage parody of blackAmericans with genuine fondness for African American cultural forms.

It pre-dates the invention of writing, since long before we started writing scripts we were telling stories by acting them out. The Commedia Dell'Arte Over the centuries, there have been many different improvisational styles. The most direct ancestor of modern improv is probably the Commedia Dell'Arte , which was popular throughout europe for almost 200 starting in the mid-1500's. Troupes of performers would travel from town to town, presenting shows in the public squares and on makeshift stages. They would improvise all their own dialog, within a framework provided by a set "scenario". After the Commedia died off, improv theatre faded into obscurity until it was separately and spontaneously re-invented b Read More Go to Site Site-Molière (Introduction) Votes:0 Molière Moliere Read More Go to Site Sivua ei l?ydy!

To escape these yokes and thus attain internal freedom, the ability to express oneself (the heart) without any conflict from within (grief) or external oppression (gods), is highly desirable, yet rarely possible. Therefore, a great deal of conflict transpires internally as well as externally: in Greek tragedies "mere mortals" spend a large portion of their time worrying about Read More Go to Site The History of Costume by Braun & Scheider Votes:0 (Click on Pictures Above to go Directly to the Book.) THE HISTORY OF COSTUME By Braun & Schneider - c.1861-1880 The "History of Costume" or "Zur Geschichte der KostÜme" was printed from 1861 to 1880 in Munich by the publishing firm of Braun and Schneider. It was originally published as individual plates in a German magazine titled "MÜnchener Bilderbogen". Later, these plates were collected and bound into book form. The total publication consisted of 125 pages, with four pictures per pages, for a total of 500 costume designs. These plates consisted of historical dress from antiquity to the end of the 19th century. This book is an excellent source for students who are studying the history of fashion and for costume designers.

Before there was spoken language, mime was used to communicate what the primitive people needed or wanted. Instead of fading into obscurity when the spoken language was developed, mime had became a form of entertainment. It then developed into a true theatrical form in ancient Greece, where performers enacted everyday scenes with the help of elaborate gestures. The principle mimes were known as ethologues , and the scenes they would Read More Go to Site The Patrin Web Journal - Roma (Gypsies) in the Theater Votes:0 French German Italian Portuguese Spanish From Campfire to Footlights: Gypsies in the Theater by Nikolai Slichenko A n Oriental sage once said that to know the truth one must go beyond one's limits. We should never have realized the validity of this maxim if we had not crossed the borders to our country for what was the first foreign tour of our Romany theatre troupe, Romen . It was in 1982, and we were to perform in distant Japan "We the Gypsies" , one of the fifteen plays in our repertoire. After playing for six weeks to packed houses, sometimes to over 2,000 spectators, we realized that translation of our dialogue and lyrics was not necessary. The public called us back for encores many times, and the famous Japanese signer Okada Yoshika said, "Their songs resemble our traditional songs b Read More Go to Site The Plays of Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) Votes:0 Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) This website grew out of my desire to have the plays of Thomas Middleton in one collection, personally edited and available on word processor. Having done that, I thought it worthwhile to take the next step and bring Middleton to the Web. One inspiration was seeing what a convenient resource there is in a Complete Online Shakespeare , which I used--along with the OED, a Bible search engine , and other resources, electronic and hard-print--to edit these plays. In editing, I've consulted quarto facsimiles and critical editions when and where available, and I've hypertexted significant textual decisions, along with glossed words and phrases; so while these editions are not refereed, a good deal of care has been taken in their preparation.
