The thesis treats the theatrical scenes and single figure portraits of actors and actresses en role by George Clint. The development of theatrical scene painting in England during the eighteenth century is traced from its antecedents in The Netherlands and France through to the arrival of Clint. There is a brief review of Clint's career to 1816 when he exhibited his first theatrical scene at the Royal Academy. To define the area in which Clint worked, a chapter explores the theatre of the time. His theatrical scenes are discussed for each of the three phases of his work which I have identified. The first phase terminated in 1821 when he was elected ARA. His second phase ran through the 1820s when he continued his earlier manner of painting scenes from staged productions, with portraiture. In the last phase during the 1830s his style and subject material changed. He was essentially a painter of the comic, initially of largely contemporary comedy and farce, but after 1830 of the more substantial comedies of Shakespeare. At the same time his style changed to a more distanced treatment of the theatre without reference to specific productions or casts. The treatment of his theatrical scenes is followed by a consideration of his single figure theatrical portraits of actors and actresses. An important goal for Clint was full membership of the Royal Academy; that he never achieved it led to his resignation in 1836. The position of the Academy at the time, and in particular Clint's situation, is considered. Clint is seen as a peculiarly representative figure in the debates on both the fine arts and the theatre, working as he does at the junction of the two arts and affected by the problems of both.Prints from Clint's theatrical scenes and individual theatrical portraits, both as independent works and as book illustrations are also discussed. Finally, his influence and the reason why the genre of theatrical scene painting came to an end in him are considered 3

Abstract The Fourth Level of Theatrical Awareness By Greg Scurria, MFA A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in Theatre Pedagogy at Virginia Commonwealth University. Virginia Commonwealth University, Master of Fine Arts in Theatre Pedagogy Virginia Commonwealth University, 2010 Major Director: Dr. Noreen C. Barnes, Director of Graduate Studies, Theatre Department This text is a partial record and narrative of the production of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men that opened on May 1st 2009 for a three day run ending May 3rd 2009 and Shel, a collection of Shel Silverstein short plays and poems, which opened on September 18th for a three day run that ended September 20th. It also covers the work done by a small group on Yazmina Reza’s The God of Carnage during the Spring of 2010. The text details the creative process of the two productions while also examining two hypotheses that grew out of that work. It will examine the heightened sense of ownership experienced while working on Of Mice and Men and the subsequent unsuccessful attempt to recreate that atmosphere during Shel. The other hypothesis involves the discovery of the fourth level of theatrical awareness and how it can be used to help actors. The fourth level of theatrical awareness exists outside of the traditional character based exploration of text. Students who examine the text using the fourth level attempt to view the play in its entirety without character bias. Actors using the fourth level look at shape, major themes of the play, and spatial awareness in order to analyze the play using a directorial eye. The possible applications of this work will be discusses as well as concerns about its use. The attempts to apply this fourth level of theatrical awareness in Shel will be discussed, as well as the attempts to find practical applications for the fourth level while working with The God of Carnage. Finally, this paper will outline a plan for implementing the fourth level of theatrical awareness in a production and highlight other areas of exploration involving dramaturgical investigation. As a whole, it will trace the growth and transformation of these ideas and plot a plan to continue expanding on them in the future.

Streszczenie:

Since the fifth century, the theatre has been a place for seeing. In spite of this, blind figures repeatedly appear on the stage, from Oedipus, Polymestor, Tiresias and the Cyclops to Shakespeare's Gloucester, Beckett's Hamm, Friel's Molly Sweeney and Kane's Ian. These blind characters have an important role to play in articulating the task of the spectator, both in their aural and imaginative construction of the fictional world in pre-naturalistic theatre, and also in their ability to see through the dramatic illusion in later drama. These scenes of blindness and blinding also have consequences for reception studies, since the relationship between them is not straightforwardly a textual reception history. Instead, these blind characters and the scenes in which they appear are read as what Deleuze and Guattari term an 'assemblage': a heterogenous multiplicity that is produced at the moment of reading / watching with reference to other scenes of blindness and blinding. This thesis sketches out a grammar for such an assemblage, and each chapter focuses on a rule in this grammar. When read as part of an assemblage of blindness, blind characters always have a special relationship with death (Chapter 2), showcase their own performance (Chapter 3), undermine the fictional setting that has been established onstage (Chapter 4), have access to a kind of superhuman knowledge (Chapter 5) and alter the position of their spectators (Chapter 6). Each chapter is structured around a particular moment when the theatre's interest in blind characters resurges, as a response to changes in the social, cultural or scientific understanding of vision and visual impairment. In each chapter, the grammar that is outlined in Chapter 1 with reference to ancient plays returns to the fore, but is refracted through the historical period back on to the grammar of the assemblage.

This research aims to chart four modes of engagement in post-verite documentary films, devoted to an exclusive examination of theatrical formats, that being those documentaries which are originally intended for a cinema audience. As these theatrical documentaries provide a means for spectators to see through the cinema screen and into the real world, it is important to understand how this 'seeing through' is constructed by the documentary production itself. This thesis acknowledges that the 'learning' of documentary stories and subjects has broadened for the global audience of today. After exploring various separate critiques of documentary voice theory, the definition of documentary and film semiotics, I have devised eight paradigms for creating this 'learning' or 'documentary consciousness' in these theatrical or cinema documentaries. I have explored how these eight paradigms can be observed to function in four different modes. These modes contribute to an evolving understanding of viewer comprehension; that thing called documentary consciousness. This is demonstrated through the audio-visual appendix of clips taken from the proto-typical theatrical documentaries I have chosen to analyse, which are: 'Bowling For Columbine' by Michael Moore (2003), which is illustrative of what I have dubbed the 'Outcome Mode'; 'Etre et Avoir' ('To Be And To Have') by Nicholas Philibert (2004), which exemplifies what I call the 'Participant Mode'; 'My Architect' by Nathaniel Kahn (2005), an example of the 'Journey Mode'; 'Baraka' by Magidson Films (1996), a model of the 'Mandala Mode'.

Streszczenie:

A theatrical portrait is an image of an actor or actors in character. This genre was widespread in eighteenth century London and was practised by a large number of painters and engravers of all levels of ability. The sources of the genre lay in a number of diverse styles of art, including the court portraits of Lely and Kneller and the fetes galantes of Watteau and Mercier. Three types of media for theatrical portraits were particularly prevalent in London, between c.1745 and 1800 : painting, print and book illustration. All three offered some form of publicity to the actor, and allowed patrons and buyers to recollect a memorable - performance of a play. Several factors governed the artist's choice of actor, character and play. Popular or unusual productions of plays were nearly always accompanied by some form of actor portrait, although there are eighteenth century portraits which do not appear to reflect any particular performance at all. Details of costume in these works usually reflected fashions of the contemporary stage, although some artists occasionally invented costumes to suit their own ends. Gesture and expression of the actors in theatrical portraits also tended to follow stage convention, and some definite parallels between gestures of actors in theatrical portraits and contemporary descriptions of those actors can be made. Theatrical portraiture on the eighteenth century model continued into the nineteenth century, but its form changed with the changing styles of acting. However the art continued to be largely commercial and ephemeral, and in its very ephemerality lies its importance as a part of the social history of the eighteenth century.

Streszczenie:

Sound design is a comparatively young member of the theatrical design family. Computer technology for sound and music, much of which emerged over this past decade, continues to become cheaper and more widely available, making intricate sonic designs more accessible now than in the past for designers and theaters alike. While this is a big step for the art of sound design, the field is still adolescent in comparison to the scenic, costume, and lighting design fields. Sound design has become a regular part of the creation of modern theatre; that said, modern sound designers might collaborate with other theater professionals who trained without significant collaboration with or influence from sound designers and sound design. As such, collaborative practices between a sound designer and the rest of a theatrical team continue to develop. Through this thesis, I hope to provide a comprehensive snapshot of the role of sound design and sound designers in modern theatre, and to illuminate important strategies for successful collaboration between sound designers and a theatrical team.

This modified qualitative study focused on observations of learning procedures and performance outcomes of two theatrical learning environments (TLE), using a select set of phenomenological observation and recording procedures to ensure minimization of researcher bias. Observational results were compared to previously published observations of a large lecture hall learning environment at a Midwestern university. Observational results were also compared to a select set of learning theories to determine similarities in observed learning procedures to those theories. This study reveals differences in methods of acquisition of knowledge and skills in a TLE and the acquisition of same in the lecture hall environment. In the large lecture hall descriptions, the individual learner’s preset learning measurement options of ABCDF or Pass/Fail, individual option of choice to be present but non-interactive within the learning environment, individual option of choice of when to learn material and in what manner (for instance, cramming for a final), option of choice of attention level when physically present in the learning environment, and other options all affect the individual learner’s achievement level while minimally impacting the learning and achievement options of other members of the lecture class. This contrasts with a TLE, where failure is not a pre-listed option, maximization of learning and skills development is a constant goal individually and severally, interactivity with other learning environment members is mandated, material must be progressively learned and mastered by all members at essentially the same rate of progress, attention level must remain high, and there may well be multiple ‘final exams’ wherein virtually 100% of text materials must be transmitted verbatim in a meaningful way to a third party (an audience) through skills learned. Comparisons of learning theories reveal this process to be most closely allied with, but still significantly different from, collaborative learning theory.

Everyday we find ourselves making hundreds of decisions, often without noticing the relevance of even the most miniscule choice that can grow and form into a life altering state of mind. The human brain is the most elaborately complex structure in existence, enabling us to be able to function and comprehend our surroundings. With complexity, also comes malfunctions, which will inevitably occur occasionally ranging in a wide variety of defects from mental illnesses, to super genius abilities. What a certain individual may see as reality, may be completely opposite of the reality you or I see. This poses the question, who decides which reality is true? This paper contains documentation of my research and process through writing and performing an original short film confronting observations that we all experience in our daily lives in the form of a very extreme circumstance that will attempt to force a new way of thinking about what ties us all together as a species, despite our many unique and diverse perceptions. "Metamorphosis" was shown November 30th, 2012 as a short film. To coincide with the film, a promotional website was made to accompany the piece, as well as graphics.

Streszczenie:

Libertines’ behaviour does not go unnoticed at Charles II’s licentious court. Social figures of the Restoration age, libertines have a strong Hobbist sense of self-preservation which mingles with an inclination towards the pleasures of life, yet, the inability to find a compromise with society causes their social failure. However, the theatrical dimension seems the only one where libertines, as comic characters, can freely perform their credos. The purpose of this study is to offer a metatheatrical reading of libertine characters drawing on some metatheatrical concerns. The libertine’s conscious appropriation of the genre’s tools unmasks, beneath the fictional stage, a real society made of excesses and creates, in a process which often involves the audience, an alternative theatrical reality. Firstly, the character will be analysed on a plot-level in the roles of the ‘trickster’ and the ‘director’. Secondly, the character’s performative use of language and his overpowering wit shows him mastering language with an awareness alien to the other characters. The final chapter explores the idea of dramatic irony in the aged-old metaphor of theatrum mundi through phenomenological lenses. The study will consider the forty-year period from 1660 to 1700, in particular, selected comedies of Dryden, Etherege, Wycherley, Behn and Congreve will be used to provide examples of the aforementioned concepts.

Thesis advisor: Rena A. Syska Lamparska
This dissertation presents a new analysis of theatrical improvisation, not as a theatrical practice but as a condition of the creative process; the focus is on the processes of the actor as signifier and site (producer) of a complex system of exchange. It explores the actor as creator of a macro-text that consists of the fixed element of the script and its variable interactions with the other actors and the audience. I demonstrate that improvisation is the condition that allows the actor to establish non-linear relationships between the text and the spectators through parallel subtexts that he creates ex novo. Such relationships happen in virtue of a ‘complexisation’ of the text that enriches its literal meaning. I observed the Spanish director José S. Sinisterra’s work in which he trained his actors to develop parallel subtexts in order to improve their ability to make a text complex. He argued that the actor’s expression of the text needed to provoke the spectator, through chaos and order. I then, studied the creativity process from a scientific point of view in order to understand in which way chaos and order work inside the mechanisms of performance. Thanks to the application of the chaos and complexity theory to the theatrical processes, attempted here for the first time, I consider the actor and the performance as ‘complex dynamic systems’ like a cell, a human being or life itself, in which, paradoxically, order and chaos coexist and maintain the system in balance; the continuous passages from chaos to order and vice versa, create the necessary tension and energy that put the spectator in the condition of building his own meanings. This study intends to define the fields of action of order and chaos, in both actuation and reception of text, as well as to identify fixed and variable determinant factors which could alter the components of the actor and the whole play’s system, to the and of increasing the necessary tension for complexity. Important theories on semiotic aspects of theatre and reception processes are taken in consideration like those by Iser, Eco, Ubersfeld and De Marinis as well as those by the mayor theatre directors of the Twentieth century, from Stanislavski to Mejerch’old, Kantor, Grotowski

A detailed account and analysis of a six week theatrical devising workshop and culminating performance event which occurred in March and April of 2017 in the Theatre Arts Department at California State University, Long Beach. In The Telling was an independent project that utilized movement-based ensemble practice and improvisation techniques to develop text and movement into an immersive theatrical storytelling event. Through the synthesis of contemporary theatre making practice and traditional rehearsal techniques, a diverse group of student participants collaborated to create an original work based on personal narrative and the theme of “change”.

Rooted in a broader discussion regarding the ideal foundational elements for contemporary performance training, this project report poses the question: how can performance educators train the next generation of theater makers to excel at creating vibrant, inclusive and innovative work? The In The Telling project posits that theatrical devising practice as performance pedagogy is one approach.

Streszczenie:

In recent years Ireland, North and South, has undergone a period of rapid transition. Social and economic advancements in the South and political developments in the North have brought benefits, but have also created for some a sense of confusion and disorientation. Many have become caught between the residual problems of the past and the impact of the new. In the ongoing process of redefining boundaries and attempting to build a more inclusive society, it is important to be aware of the dislocation which exists among groups and individuals in the current cultural climate. My experience of these changing times has been, broadly speaking, as a female Catholic from a middle-class, nationalist background. It is from this perspective that I have explored a variety of political, religious and gender issues, related to the overriding theme of the internal exile in contemporary Irish theatre. Specific chapters address particular concerns. Chapter one provides a historical and cultural context which seeks to place the theme within the macrocosm of a society undergoing change, in addition to outlining the way in which it is represented in and affected by contemporary Irish drama. Chapter two is entitled 'States of mind and the lyricism of theatrical conventions'. It explores a selection of post-sixties plays and identifies a number of different styles of theatre which are being practised in Ireland at the present time. Chapter three discusses the politics of spirituality in relation to Brian Friel's Dancing at Lughnasa. Chapter four focuses on three plays by Marina Carr and considers the role of women. Chapter five looks at politics and gender in two plays about Oscar Wilde; Saint Oscar by Terry Eagleton and The Secret Fall of Constance Wilde by Thomas Kilroy. Chapter six involves a consideration of the political situation in Northern Ireland in respect of the peace process and post-cease-fire plays by a number of playwrights such as Gary Mitchell, Declan Gorman and Michael Harding.

Streszczenie:

When John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln in Ford's Theatre in Washington on the evening of April 14,1865, he destroyed any possibility that his reputation as an actor would be dispassionately assessed for the foreseeable future. A bitter, fratricidal war was drawing to its close, and Northern newspapers were not interested in being fair; opprobrium was heaped on Booth's name, beginning in the press the following day. Twelve days later he was dead, shot during an attempted arrest. In 1890, his fellow player Clara Morris asserted hopefully, ‘At this late day the country can afford to deal justly with John Wilkes Booth.’ That time had not yet come: in fact, some of the worst -- and silliest -- slanders have been perpetrated in the twentieth century. But surely now, over a hundred years later, it should be possible to set aside that April evening and look dispassionately at Booth's career in the theatre of his time. As well as extending simple justice to a man who seems to have been extremely likeable and idealistic, and an actor interesting enough to deserve study, such a reassessment may serve to correct a distortion which the 'mythologized' view of his career has created: the idea that Edwin Booth was the only promising young tragedian in the early 1860s, which falsifies both Edwin's career and the period in general. Moreover, John's entire career covered a mere ten years, and his four full seasons as a star occurred during the Civil War, an under-researched period. The necessary concentration on so brief a time-span allows a more detailed treatment than would be possible in examining a career of average length, which may in turn illuminate some broader aspects of American theatre during an unsettled and transitional period.

My thesis explores Restoration repertory theatre in the 1670-71 season, examining all of the new and revived works performed, including the premières of plays by dramatists such as Behn, Dryden, Shadwell, and Wycherley. These canonical writers are studied alongside the lesser-known works of playwrights including John Crowne, Edward Howard, Elizabeth Polwhele, and Elkanah Settle. Offering new readings of neglected plays by resituating them within their theatrical, literary, and political contexts, I use contemporary evidence from diaries, letters, pamphlets, and parliamentary records to demonstrate how theatre was inextricably bound with wider circumstances. Tracing the interaction between the playhouses, print, manuscript, and court cultures, my thesis argues that it was in this season that drama became evermore focused on King Charles II and his court, as playwrights looked for answers to increasingly pressing dramatic and political questions and offered cautious, and often cautionary, comments on the monarch. Analysing the main anxieties and impulses evident within drama, including the political influence of the royal mistresses, the emergence of female playwrights, worry about the succession, and the contentious influence of libertine ideology, my thesis concludes with a discussion of Buckingham’s The Rehearsal, a play that looks back to, and reflects on, the 1670-71 season.

In this thesis I assert that Robinson’s theatrical heritage positioned her uniquely to confront the revolutionary explosions of 1790s radical thought. In her writings, Robinson’s onstage experience of gender performativity is transformed into a bold feminist critique of gender roles for women (and men) everywhere. In Chapter 1, I study writings by eighteenth-century theatrical women to argue that Robinson’s feminism must be understood within a theatrical context to appreciate the unique radicalism of her feminist vision. In Chapter 2, I explore how Robinson’s powerful identification with Marie Antoinette lies at the roots of her feminist project. In Chapter 3, I explain how Robinson then turns to the voice of Sappho to develop a radical vision of transcendent genius. In Chapter 4, I demonstrate how Robinson turns her critique of gender on men through the performative space of the masquerade in Walsingham (1797). Finally, in Chapter 5, I explain how this radical feminist critique is moulded to utopian ends in The Natural Daughter (1799), as Robinson rewrites the ending of Wollstonecraft’s Wrongs of Woman in a vision of the revolutionary family. I read three strands into Robinson’s feminism: 1) the rejection of incommensurable sexual difference; 2) the union of rational virtue and benevolent sensibility in the development of transcendent genius; and 3) a radical critique of the anxious crisis in 1790s masculinity. The result of this was a utopian vision of the future quite different from Wollstonecraft’s better-known brand of ascetic feminism. Instead, Robinson’s feminist theory works to rescue the original values of the French Revolution from beneath the ravages of Jacobin corruption. Beyond the limiting categories of incommensurable sexual difference, Robinson envisions a family in which woman would no longer have to renounce her sexual body in order to engage with society, and man could finally accept her as his equal.

Edgar Allen Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne are arguably two of the most highly read and heavily debated nineteenth-century antebellum authors in America. Their writings fascinate readers, while their character depictions, particularly their characterizations of fictional women, prompt intense academic debate. This thesis examines the previously less-studied historical developments surrounding Poe and Hawthorne in the antebellum era that shaped their approach to writing fiction. In particular, this study scrutinizes the effects of the development of a newly popular art form, ballet, the ascendency of female authorship, and the impact of American theatrical reform upon antebellum authors’ authorial faculties, especially Hawthorne and Poe.

The study analyses the representations of Greek ritual in plays and fragments of Old Comedy within the religious framework of the dramatic festivals. The main focus is on the rites performed by comic characters as part of fictional plot, such as sacrifices, processions, libations, and prayers. The aim of the study is to explore how playwrights use the elements of Greek religion while building the imaginary world of comedy and linking it to Athenian religious practices. Comic representations of ritual retain basic aspects of actual Greek cult such as the interconnection between ritual speech and ritual act, the centrality of animal sacrificial offerings, and the ritualisation of space and time. These fundamental similarities make Old Comedy a valuable source for the study of Greek cultic performances as well as their religious and social function. At the same time the imitation of rituals in comedy is selective and distortive and cannot be taken for granted as direct reflection of real life. Furthermore, theatrical representations of ritual claim to be authentic and to transform the performance of the comic play into a religiously significant event. The complex multilevel interrelationship between the ritual experience of the audience and the manipulation of this experience in drama through representations allows poets to achieve comic effect and mediate crucial meanings.

This arts-based thesis focuses on notions of mapping a home of belonging. By investigating creative ways to re-story our past, present, and future, it considers what we might do to satisfy this basic human longing and necessity. Born out of a personal need, the study could be seen as a response to the growing social problem of loneliness and anxiety throughout the Western world and, more particularly, in the arts industry. Underpinned by a social constructionist paradigm, the research has engaged with a range of ideas and methods from Theatre, Postmodern Therapies, and the Human Potential Movement, as well as studies in Home culture and mythology. This interdisciplinary approach has been driven by my own arts practice, which was deployed to devise and stage three original performances—Home (2012, 2015), Eve (2012, 2017), and He Dreamed a Train (2014, 2017)—collectively entitled The Belonging Trilogy. These shows, generated over six years, became a way of writing new personal mythologies to create, and re-create, my own personal map of belonging in my world as a social artist. An outcome of this process was the development of the “Relational Impulse Cultural” (RIC) Process, a method that can enrich artists’ professional and personal lives. The embodied inquiry has pioneered an artistic and therapeutic method that can be used for understanding and articulating where and what is “home” and “belonging.” While home is constantly changing, depending on who one is becoming, the dissertation details how it can be productively created through the active re-storying of Place/Space, Mythologies/Stories, and Relationships. This original framework offers a simple yet effective model of personal and professional transformation. Coupled with the RIC Process, the process moves the social artist into a place of curiosity, vibrancy, and awareness, with an ability to push the boundaries, knowing that things constantly change. It is no longer a question of “Who am I?” or “Who are you?” but rather “Who am I becoming?” and “Who are you becoming?” Relationally, it allows for difference, diversity, and acceptance, improving the social bonds within our communities, both personally and professionally.
