Abstract:

The Russian School of Acting was a term encountered amongst theatre-practitioners in 1990s' Moscow. Its roots lay in Stanislavsky's system with influences from Michael Chekhov and Jerzy Grotowski. In defining the phrase, this investigation follows Stanislavsky's psycho-physical technique through three practices: (1) pre-determining a production through a detailed mise-en-scene; (2) analysing the play through round the table discussions and (3) exploring the Method of Physical Actions. Chekhov's `creative individuality' and Grotowski's via negativa are also considered. The contemporary Russian

Abstract:

This paper considers two purposes for actor training—textual interpretation and devising original works—through the teaching of a class based on contemporary theatrical clown and physical theatre exercises which are then applied to Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. Devised work can be used to interpret a script, and a script can be used as a jumping-off point to devise new works. Beginning with an explanation of the teaching methods for the class, the paper then gives a background of clowns who performed in Beckett’s plays, and analyzes various productions' use of games to enliven text.

The purpose of this thesis is to showcase the importance of God-inspired Theatre and to manifest the transformative effects of living in accordance to the Word of God. In order to share my vision for theatre such as this, I will examine the biblical elements in Zora Neale Hurston's short story Sweat (1926). I will write a stage adaptation of the story, while placing emphasis on the biblical lessons that can be used for God-inspired Theatre. When viewing the stage adaptation based on Sweat, the audience members will understand how God-inspired Theatre aims to help members of society utilize the

Abstract:

Playwriting theory has, from its beginning, been concerned with the search for the essential nature of dramatic writing. Early playwriting treatises (poetics) defined the essential aspects of drama as being the plot (creation of sequences of fictional events), the moral character of its heroes, the idea of enactment, or the rhetorical and lyrical qualities of the text. These categories were kept through later treatises with different emphasis being put on each category. An understanding of drama as a sequence of fictional events (plot) has been central in acting theory. Modern theories and tec

This thesis is an exploration of movement pedagogy as a continuation of basic acting lessons from Stanislavski. Using the example of an introductory semester of movement instruction, physical acting and movement concepts are explained in terms of their connection to and derivation from universally accepted acting terminology and ideas. This is put forth as a way to facilitate the synthesis of movement instruction with other acting curriculum, as well as providing a new way to view some familiar acting concepts.

Experiments suggest that such compartments can be described as liquid-like droplets. In this thesi

Abstract:

This thesis has been performed at Öhlins Racing AB which is known world-wide for its high quality racing shock absorbers. Öhlins have been developing shock absorbers for more than 30 years and in addition to this they also develop a technology for semi-active suspension. Semi-active suspension technology makes it possible to achieve an intelligent and dynamic vehicle chassis control. Compared to standard passive suspensions, semiactive dampers allow improving vehicle cornering performance while still providing good comfort when cruising. This is achieved by a real time adjustment of the suspen

Abstract:

Le cortex d'actine est une fine couche de gel d'une épaisseur de l'ordre du micron, attaché à la membrane lipidique de la cellule. Il est constitué d'un réseau de filaments d'actine qui sont constamment polymérisés à la membrane puis dépolymérisés, dans un mouvement de « tapis roulant ». Des moteurs moléculaires, les myosines, génèrent des contraintes internes dans le gel.Le cortex contrôle ainsi les variations de forme de la cellule. Dans cette thèse nous utilisons le modèle des gels actifs pour explorer certaines propriétés du cortex d'actine. Le gel est décrit a l'échelle mésoscopique comme

Abstract:

Research shows that the dominant pedagogical practices of physical education are irrelevant to young people in the 21st century, and that physical education currently exists in a time of innovation without change. Subsequently, physical education as a curriculum subject is at risk of becoming extinct unless the 'talked' about pedagogical innovations that provide authentic, relevant and transferable learning experiences can become sustainable 'actioned' futures. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to explore how a pedagogical innovation, the Cooperative Learning model, could be used over

Abstract:

In this thesis the algorithms and strategies for active magnetic bearing should be analysed, implemented and simulated in Matlab as well as experimentally tested in the real-time computation system for a prototype of active magnetic bearing. Develop a general method and algorithm identi cation for active magnetic bearings prototype and get real system parameters that allow generate the equation of state of the system to control its further development. The specific objectives in this Thesis are: Develop a data acquisition system for the AMBs. Analyse the mathematical model of the system from
