Full textBetween 1880 and 1945, theatre creators resort to pantomime to transform dramatic writing, acting and staging. Silent plays (written by Margueritte, Huysmans and Hennique, Champsaur or Gourmont) multiply at the end of the 19th century. As they reveal a « crisis of drama » (Szondi) and a « crisis of gesture » (Agamben), they stimulate the emerging theatre production (at the Cercle funambulesque in particular). As far as miming is concerned, two major trends compete. On the one hand, logocentrist mimes look for codified body movements modeled on language (Séverin, Hacks, Aubert). On the other hand, expressive mimes concentrate on attitude and look (Wague, Colette, Farina). Harmed by the advent of corporeal mime (founded by Decroux assisted by Barrault), pantomime nevertheless represented a major step in the design of stage rhythm and theatrical image (in Claudel, Cocteau, Artaud or Vitrac’s plays)

As the frontispiece signals in spectacular fashion, the pantomime was a vitally popular dramatic form. I believe that my findings have serious implcations for the formation of an Australian theatre industry with regard to the 'development'of Australian drama. Ironically, as J.W. Gough points out in 'The Rise of the Entrepreneur' (1969), the word 'entrepreneur' first appeared in the 'Oxford English Dictionary' in 1897 as referring to "the director or manager of a public musical institution: one who 'gets up' entertainments, especially musical performances."

Full textFrom 1820 to 1846, deburau is very well-known as a mime in the funambules theater and he defines the rules of his art, the "white pantomime". During that time the most famous authors of the mid 19th century interrogate themselves on the relations between language and visual arts. Pierrot, deburau's hero, is the center of a reflexion about the mimesis. The possibilities given by an silent art have been despised during a long time and become fashionable with champfleury, nodier, gautier, flaubert, who start to write some stories for deburau's pantomimes. A "pantomimic writing" begins to emerge with its own rules and some of its caracteristics (the italian characters of commedia dell'arte and the comic scenic plays) begin to appear in the novels, poems and theater plays, until 1880. Pantomime, in its relations with written language, photography, dance, sculpture and cartoon, is a way to study the new complementarity between language and visual arts

This work deals with body modification practices (piercing, tattooing, scarification, stretch) and performance (several hours tattoo sessions, suspension, play piercing and artistic performance). The methodology consists on both quantitative and qualitative study. Quantitative evaluation focuses on variables of symptomatology, personality, emotional and variables associated with "body" dimension in a population of adult body artists and non-practicing. Qualitative evaluation examines discursive productions through the analysis of the grammatical structure of the speech and associated topics

Full textThe subject of this thesis is the poetic dimension of dance in Gluck's work, and allows us to bring his lyric production to light from several points of view. From the eighteenth century on, Gluck’s operas have always encountered staging difficulties regarding dance. Sometimes shortened, shifted or completely removed, the dance part call never stop putting us out of breath : Shall we dance ? Which part, which move ? Shall we dance at all ? Thus, his general work raises the question of the posterity or non-posterity of dance ; Gluck’s operas being quite peculiar with their countless reworks and the incorporation of new musical and theatrical perspective methods, especially for the Parisian public. The tragedies of the Parisian Reform (1774-1779) are studied here, through three concepts that allow an aesthetic and historical entry into the field of dance: representation, imitation and expression. Gluck's arrival into Paris' Opera situation is particularly unstable: the lyric tragedy is declining and the Royal Academy of Music is on the brink of bankruptcy. On one hand, the Royal Academy endures a severe directors turnover while facing the insubordination of its dancers due to their wages and conditions of work. On the other hand, artists don’t agree with artistic lines : the styles are in competition between french old lyric tragedy and ballet which feel devoid of dramaturgy and italian opera, representing modernity. Thereby, in this climate of protest — from both artists and audience — Gluck and his collaborator, Noverre, set up new creative habits that redefine the place of the artist. Thus, we approach Chevalier Gluck's works from the collective creation process perspective and by trying to understand how the circulation of ideas is organized in Europe. Paris becomes then a cultural center attracting famous dancers who share their knowledge throughout Europe. The arrival of new performers in Paris, simultaneously with Gluck, leads to the reconsideration of pantomime as a noble quality of dance. The publication of the Encyclopédie is a major, if not the most important, communication tool to share knowledge : philosophy but also the theater reform with the new ideas of Diderot. In fact, the context of the 1770’s brings some change of direction, while revealing a certain conservatism in reaction to the appearance of a new dance style where expressiveness supplants virtuosity. By comparing sources, scores, librettos and writings of philosophes de la danse we identify how Gluck, who created the ballet-pantomime with Angiolini in Vienne, includes the pantomime in his productions. His new and singular approach of mouvement includes popular practice like pantomime to incorporate dance as an element of dramaturgy throught the intervention of choeur en action and pantomime dansée. Gluck’s parisian operas, and more especially his process of creation, haven't set a precedant. Contrary to Rameau, whose philosopher carrer history is distinct from his composer one, Gluck doesn’t give us theoretical work. His reform is purely an experimental work with different integration processes of dance over his productions, successively in: Iphigénie en Aulide, Orphée et Euridice, Alceste, Armide et Iphigénie en Tauride. The composer faces a divided audience, especially concerning the imitative then expressive power of dance. In the midst of the Querelle des Pantomimes, detractors of this dance will repeatedly make meaningless arguments: the dance cannot be an imitative art because "it is necessary to have a soul, and dancers only have feet ". Yet, Gluck establishes poetic license into dance with increasingly distinctive : musicality, entertainments, ballets, pantomimes and choruses. His poetic dimension of dance is based on expressiveness with the ambition to build a unified opera hinged around dramaturgy coherence but also musically speaking through the orchestra, the tone and the recurrence of motif

Full textThis research concerns the emergence of a cultural phenomenon of European modernity: the ballet-pantomime. Between dance and mime, this new theatrical product claims to represent a story done only by gestures and is at the center of the aesthetic reflections on theater, painting, music by inquiring the relationship between word and body. Along its development in the European stages, a controversy broke out between two ballet masters, the French Jean-Georges Noverre and the Italian Gasparo Angiolini. Vying for the title of "reformer of dance," Angiolini and Noverre support opposites aesthetic principles, whose differences are the subject of a literary feud that excites a large interest in Milan and Vienna between 1773 and 1776. Starting from an analysis of dramaturgy developed by the two rivals in masters-ballet and taking into account their cultural patterns, this thesis explores the aesthetics and semiotics issues raised by the controversy and offers a reading of the "Quarrel of Pantomimes" in its social dimension focusing on two directions: on the one hand it is interpreted as a significant symptom of relations between Italy and France and it allows to examine the conditions for dialogue between the two cultures; secondly it manifests the terms of a social struggle that took place in Milan among men of Letters and it is seen as a sign of the process of "democratization" of culture that ballet-pantomime feeds

Full textThis work shows how the birth of acting in the eighteenth century calls into question the classical mimetic model in favour of a new expressive model. It examines three cultural areas: France, England, and Germany. It also adopts a chronological approch in order to analyse the changes undergone by the parallel between the actor, the painter and the orator. It then appears that acting theory draws its legitimacy from a rehabilitation of visual spectacle, which provokes the settling of an aesthetic of the stage paintng putting into light acting’s specificity. In that sense, acting theory does not emerge against writings on oratory action; on the contrary, it rises thanks to a visual re-interpreting of their principles freed from rhetorical codes. Hence, through the influence of sensualism, the major place given to the creative actor's body leads to theoretical and practical experimentations that concern the way to produce and to receive feelings, and which are nourished by multiple exchanges between the three countries. These hybrid reflections help redefine the art of representation as an aesthetic relation between a creating subject and a receiving subject. It contributes to the transition from an imitative conception of feeling to an expressive one. David Garrick’s spreading of a certain image of Shakespeare, whose dramaturgy offends the classical poetics rules, plays an important role in the development of a theory of visual acting an in the redefinition of theatre as text and representation

Full textIn the second half of the Eighteenth Century, a new kind of ballet emerged on the European stage: known as ballet-pantomime, this new form combined the techniques of the French noble style with the expressive gestures of pantomime. Jean-Georges Noverre’s Letters on dance and ballet, first published in 1760, has long been considered a founding document, largely responsible for initiating this reform of theatrical dance. Our thesis offers a re-evaluation of Noverre’s work, contextualizing it within a broader current of writing by “philosophers of dance” from the period – that is to say, the writing of ballet masters who, in a collective attempt to valorize the state of dance and their own profession, sought to demonstrate specific knowledge and mastery of the codes of the Republic of Letters by publishing their ideas as philosophy. Our thesis takes into consideration both the practical activities of these ballet masters in the context of the theater, as well as the discourse through which they sought to redefine both the poetics of ballet and the manner by which ballet was represented. Our study explores the function of books not only as a discursive tool but also as a means to develop the careers of the ballet composers. We examine how the ballet masters appropriated philosophical discourse in their project, redefining the poetics of ballet pantomime by drawing upon theatrical and linguistic ideas of the Enlightenment. Likewise, ballet masters also used the ballet program as a mechanism for redefining the practice of representing ballet to their public, thus influencing how the public viewed the stage

Full textCette thèse examine l'histoire et l'esthétique du ballet dans les music-halls parisiens au tournant du XXe siècle. Quoiqu'on l'ait longtemps oublié, le ballet constitua pour plus de quatre décennies une forme de divertissement populaire auprès d'un vaste public. Entre 1872 et 1918, près de deux cent nouveaux ballets furent mis en scène dans les music-halls de Paris, dont plus de la moitié furent créés dans trois établissements proéminents, les Folies-Bergère, l'Olympia et le Casino de Paris. Ces uvres aux partitions, chorégraphies et livrets originaux constituaient fréquemment des productions complexes et spectaculaires, faisant appel à des décors et costumes flamboyants, un important corps de ballet et des danseuses étoiles. Bien que les ballets de music-halls aient été comparables, sous plusieurs aspects, aux ballets contemporains présentés à l'Opéra de Paris, ils reflètent néanmoins les préférences de leur audience épicurienne par l'importance accordée à une musique vive et entraînante, au spectaculaire et au corps féminin. Ma recherche met en lumière l'importance de la culture et du répertoire du ballet de music-hall. Je me penche d'abord sur les circonstances historiques qui permirent aux music-halls d'adopter le ballet. J'examine ensuite ce nouveau contexte de représentation du ballet afin d'établir les caractéristiques institutionnelles qui contribuèrent à façonner les ballets de music-hall, et offre de l'information biographique sur les artistes qui créèrent et interprétèrent ceux-ci. J'analyse les conventions du ballet de music-hall, les types de sujets abordés par les librettistes, les structures formelles des ballets populaires, les éléments chorégraphiques communément incorporés et les aspects du langage musical propres au genre. En terminant, j'explore les attributs visuels et musicaux caractérisant le ballet de music-hall comme un genre « populaire », discute de la façon dont il ama

Full textThis paper investigates if it is possible to explain why pictures in Shaun Tans book The Arrival are experienced as unpleasant. The theory of the essay is mainly based on "das unheimlich" coined by Freud and is in the essay described as “uncanny”. Other theories are based on cognitive dissonance and hyperbole. In order to analyse the images content, questions based on the basic points of the theories are defined. As a result, it turns out nearly all pictures are linked to uncanny, sometimes in combination with other theories. Analyses regarding if scale and proportions of objects can make an impact are also made, based on the "frog perspective". Some similarities between images in “The Arrival” and propaganda posters from World War II can be observed, which can be linked to mental triggers. In the discussions, it is made clear that the research could have developed further if more reasons for discomfort were investigated while observing the images. There was also a problem with explaining why many observers are experiencing some elements as unpleasant and these elements are in the paper referred to as phobias, even though this not quite accurate and should be referred to as fears. In order to carry on further research, focus groups are suggested to test perceptions with a quantitative method. Also, to look at the story from a gender perspective, and to see what would be different if the main character was a female.

Full textFrançois Antoine Valentin Riccoboni (1707-1772) exemplifies the intersection between Italian and French theatrical cultures in the 18th century in terms of staging practices, dramaturgy, poetics, and the theory of acting. Rooted in the Italian aesthetic, his acting aimed to achieve a style that was simpler and more natural and would be echoed in a number of ways in the reform of French stagecraft, contemporary criticism and the theory of acting. His work develops in alignment with the tradition of the Comédie Italienne in Paris, thus demonstrating the longevity of the process of poetic composition characteristic of the Italian artistic expertise. Dancer and ballet master, Riccoboni experiments with the possibilities of the ballet-pantomime at the juncture of influences from English dance, fairgrounds, and Italien pantomime. His Art du Théâtre (1750) proposes the transposition of his stage techniques in the areas of theory and aesthetics. A practical handbook designed for aspiring actors, it claims also to be a theory based solely on stage experience. It articulates, for the first time, a theory of acting based on the rational and imitative qualities of the actor, which will influence notably Diderot in Le Paradoxe. Divided in four parts, this doctoral dissertation retraces Riccoboni’s life (Part I); attempts to understand his stage craft in Italian all’improvviso, in French, in song and dance (Part II); analyzes his dramatic works (Part III); and studies his Art du Théâtre (Part IV). Two volumes of appendices offer previously unpublished archival sources as well as the annotated inventory and edition of previously unpublished texts by Riccoboni
François Antoine Valentin Riccoboni (1707-1772) rappresenta un paradigma dell’incontro tra la cultura teatrale italiana e francese nel XVIII secolo, dal punto di vista della pratica scenica, della drammaturgia, della poetica e della teoria della recitazione. La sua arte attoriale partecipa dell’estetica italiana, tesa ad una recitazione più semplice e naturale, che avrà delle eco importanti nella riforma della pratica scenica francese, nella critica contemporanea e nella teoria della recitazione. La sua opera si sviluppa nel solco della tradizione della Comédie Italienne di Parigi, dimostrando la persistenza di processi compositivi tipici del sapere artistico italiano. Ballerino e maître de ballet, François sperimenta anche le possibilità del ballet-pantomime all’incrocio delle influenze coreutiche inglesi, foraines, e dell’arte scenica e pantomimica italiana. Il suo Art du Théâtre (1750) rappresenta la traslazione della sua pratica attoriale nel dominio teorico ed estetico. Manuale pratico all’uso degli aspiranti attori, esso rivendica inoltre una teoria fondata esclusivamente sulla pratica del palcoscenico e definisce per la prima volta un processo interpretativo basato sulle qualità razionali e imitative dell’attore, teoria che influenzerà particolarmente il Diderot del Paradoxe. Diviso in quattro parti, il nostro lavoro ricostruisce la vita di Riccoboni (I Parte); cerca di restituirne la pratica scenica nella recitazione all’improvviso, in francese, nel canto e nella danza (II Parte); analizza la sua opera (III Parte); studia l’Art du Théâtre (IV Parte).

Full textThis is a thesis on the fundamental principles of corporeal mime according to etienne decroux. The author would like to emphasize that this is not a detailed description of exercices and figures. Part one covers the early history of pantomime and outlines the characteristics of the original art form to give, in juxtaposition, definition to corporeal mime. Part two is an overview of decroux's career. Part three consists of several chapters devoted to the decrousian doctrine : the rejection of original pantomime ; the concept of mime as art ; the importance of the body ; decroux's concept of the actor and his attitude toward the audience. Part four takes a look at his productions and his methods of research. Part five studies his accomplishments and illuminates his ideas on realism, as well as his usage of comedy and drama, his choice of subjects, and his style. The conclusion brings into relief : 1) the role of ethics in decroux's aesthetic ; 2) how profoundly decroux is a reflection of his era and ; 3)the relation of corporeal mime with oriental tradition

Full textThis study aims to examine the forms and the issues of pain in graphic arts during the 18th century, as drawings and engravings take on an experimental aspect and constitute precious evidence of patterns diffusion. It considers the conventions, the debates and the codifications determining its figurative representations, in relation to aesthetic, médical, social and political matters. In a time when pain tends to be obscured by people who are supposed to be in charge of it, it seemed important to appraise its occurrences and its past depictions. Seen from this perspective, the French figurative arts through the second half of the 18th century offer a remarkable field of study. The aesthetic debates about the sculpted group of Laocoon and the veil of Timanthes, or, on a medical level, concenring pain persistence in persons convicted and decapitated, reveal that this passion was of great interest for the theorists at that time

Full textAnalyzing the Roman performances of theatre, amphitheatre and circus in a social history approach makes it possible to understand them as a structuring element of Roman culture and society and as a time-space of public life through which it is possible to observe in a privileged way this society, the different groups that compose it and the relations that are formed between them. These spectacular performances took place within the framework of large public celebrations (the ludi and munera) and occupied an ambiguous place in Roman society. Despite their growing success and major role in public life, they were morally denigrated. They were therefore accessible to women because strictly separated from the civic sphere. Women could not only attend but also perform, giving them exceptional visibility in the public space. The practices of exhibition in perfonnances, attested by both literary and epigraphic sources, reveal the contradictions of Roman society: despite their discredit, they provided individuals, according to their status, with a significant source of income and a major media tool. The exhibition of women in Roman shows gives a glimpse of their place in this society. In the continuity of studies on women and gender, it is not a question of disconnecting women's history from that of men and the rest of society, but of studying mixed social practices by specifying the place that women occupied in them and the significance of their integration into these practices

Full textIn the first half of the eighteenth century, the theaters of the Saint-Germain and Saint-Laurent fairs were frequently accused of challenging the monopoly of the Comédie- Française, and they had to find all kinds of strategies to overcome prohibitions against dialogue, speaking French, and even appearing in scenes: plays with monologues, jargon, pantomimes, preceded the development of puppets. The requirements of the French Royal Academy of Music lead to the creation of new genres such as the pieces par écriteaux or the opéra-comique. Despite the popularity of these shows, the rich diversity of the repertoire that was produced in spite of the academic restrictions, is poorly known: the famous anthology of Le Sage and d'Orneval tainted the way the Fair theatre has been known and received. In this thesis we will attempt to edit around thirty plays and to analyse everything that was ruled out, which we call the “other repertoire”. It is also the history of the Fair theatre that we intend to rebuild for the period between 1717 and 1727, relying on many unknown archives, such as notarial protocols. Setting up a calendar allows us to rethink the fairground historiography and to set at 161 the number of plays performed after the return of the Italian actors and before Pontau's beginning at the Opéra-Comique

Full textThe world where nodier lived in during his child hood and his youth put the theatre on the top of his preoccupations, making him an enthusiastic spectator, a pertinent critic and a fertile author, though rarely performed. His admiration for the great classics and shakespeare, who he praises in his dole's litterature conferences and in the newspapers, his frequentation of the theatre world, lead with a certain efficiency only to a whole series of dramatic feuilletons in the journal des debats (1814) (except some creations of which there is very few left); his ideas are classic although he accepts the rights of the genius. - his theatrical carreer covers the 1820-1828 period ; he is the author (jointly) of five plays which show some original characteristics : the frenetic inspiration, the genre -half popular, half litterary- between the melodrama and the romantic drama, the subjects coming from the foreign theatre which he defends actively and with conviction in the newspapers. - however, in his fifties, nodier shows a significant turning point : he doesn't go to the theatre anymore, his creation changes, the tale replaces the drama ; the actress reappears, as a myth ; the criticism hands o- ver to the account of real-life experience ; after having tried the pantomime for a while, nodier rediscovers the qualities of the pup- pets, which he considers now as the essential theatre, incarnating the eminent worths liberty and childhood spirit, satisfying the ima- gination and the sensitiveness

This master’s report focuses on the history, brief analysis, and pedagogy of the four works performed on February 15, 2016 for the author’s Master’s Recital. The first chapter explains the work Pantomime by Philip Sparke. It contains a short biography of Philip Sparke, an in-depth background on the composition of the work, and a theoretical and pedagogical look at the piece. The second chapter centers on Fantasia by Gordon Jacob. This brief biography will explore Jacob’s compositional output and legacy, and the theoretical analysis will focus on his use of chromatics and the interplay between the piano and the euphonium. The pedagogical analysis will focus on performance techniques and practice. The third chapter is devoted to Blue Lake Fantasies, an unaccompanied work for solo euphonium by David Gillingham. The biography will focus on Gillingham’s contribution to euphonium repertoire, specifically and the history of where and why this work was written. There will be a concise theoretical analysis followed by a heavily pedagogical analysis, which will break down the performance techniques used in each of the five movements. The final chapter of the report is about David Werden’s euphonium arrangement for two euphoniums and piano of Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms by Simone Mantia. This chapter will present a short biography of Mantia explaining his historical significance, a brief theoretical analysis, and a pedagogical analysis that focuses on the duet aspect of this piece.

Full textMotivated by the fact that sign linguistics found no consensus concerning the symbolic and systemic properties of pantomimes in sign languages, this PhD study focuses on the epistemological issues at stake concerning the way mimetic faculty and language faculty intertwine. With the iconicity theory as semiological frame, we sought to observe the moving behavior of linguistic iconicity within structures and its semiotic plasticity for adaptive needs. We built consequently a video corpus of spontaneous interactions on the field of linguistic contact in emerging sign language and in internationalized sign language. Our qualitative analysis of our annotation, where linguistic structures were linked with their eventual pragmatic mimetic anchor, shows a great diversity of performative simulations of action and perception and a great diversity of tactile strategies, which all serve mimetic semiosis. Our research also shows interactional semiotic dynamics that deal with mimesis, such as mirror effects and synchronization effects. This PhD study finally offers a rich amount of theoretical and empirical data which deepen the issue of a continuity between doing and saying and which tend to integrate the notion of mimesis within language sciences as an ontological force for cognitive and psychic construction and as a social force for cultural construction, including a entropic side dealing with creativity through poetics, as well as a neguentropic side dealing with conventionalization through imitation
