Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masks and Acting On all these occasions, and on other occasions when the young people danced merely for joy and the sheer delight of dancing, the ancient and earlier custom was for one person to start singing and for the rest of the youth to accompany his song with appropriate gesture-dancing and an occasional cry or e'gbfi/wwv, a cry which, at first but a breathless ejaculation, gradually developed from a mere predicate into a fully formed sentence. But the chorus, once started, were not satisfied to limit themselves to a single sentence: they encroached upon the domain of the soloist who started the dithyramb, the e'fa'pxwv, until the portion which they sang of the hymn became as extensive and artistically even more important than his solo. Finally, indeed, the whole hymn or dithyramb might be sung by the chorus, and the e'fdpxwv performed no solo but sank to the position merely of leader of the chorus and the dance.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masks or Faces a Study in the Psychology of Acting The paradoxes of philosophy generally prove, on analysis, to be contradictions in terms; those Of art, on the other hand, are more often truisms turned inside out. This I believe to be a fair description of Diderot's celebrated Paradoxe sur le It undoubtedly contains a great deal of truth; but in so far as it is true it is not paradoxical. The paradox is brought in, sometimes in the shape of sheer over statement, more Often by means of a little nimble jugglery with ambiguous terms and misleading ana logies. In his arguments from analogy, Diderot does not rise to the fine frenzy of some of his fellow theorists. 'we no more think feeling a necessary ingredient in acting, ' cries one, than we should deem it expedient for a painter, after he had finished a like ness upon the canvas, to represent the heart, liver, brains, and the internal formation, on the back of it.' Another - this time an American - executes a still more surprising feat of logical. Legerdemain. 'did Rosa asks, with withering emphasis, feel like a horse-fair when she painted her great picture on that subject? Or did Longfellow feel like foot prints on the sands of time when he wrote that line of the Psalflé of se?' Diderot would no doubt admit that the zeal Of these disciples outruns their discretion; yet they merely burlesque some Of his own arguments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masks or Faces a Study in the Psychology of Acting To the average intellect, nothing is so alluring as a paradox. The reason is simple: in accepting a paradox, the average intellect feels that it has risen above the average. Any fool can believe what is possible and probable, but it demands no ordinary gifts, whether mental or spiritual, to believe what is absurd. How many an old philosophy has been based, like an inverted pyramid, on an almost imperceptible point of paradox! How many a world-embracing creed has sprung from a tiny contradiction in terms! What is a miracle, indeed, but a paradox in action.? He who has seen a table dancing a hornpipe, or an elderly gentleman reclining on the ceiling instead of on the sofa, naturally feels a certain superiority over the humdrum folk who have seen no miracles save those of Mr. Maskelyne. And if it seems a distinguished thing to believe a paradox, what must it be to invent one? Surely the summit of human ambition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Face and the Mask Lurine, was pretty, petite, and eighteen. She had a nice situation at the Pharmacie de Siam, in the Rue St. Honore. She had no one dependent upon her, and all the money she earned was her own. Her dress was of cheap material perhaps, but it was cut and fitted with that daintiness of perfection which seems to be the natural gift of the Parisienne, so that one never thought of the cheapness, but admired only the effect, which was charming. She was book-keeper and general assistant at the Pharmacie, and had a little room, of her own across the Seine, in the Rue de Lille. She crossed the river twice every day - once in the morning when the sun was shining, and again at night when the radiant lights along the river's bank glittered like jewels in a long necklace. She had her little walk through the Gardens of the Tuileries every morning after crossing the Pont Royal, but she did not return through the gardens in the evening, for a park in the morning is a different thing to a park at night. On her return she always walked along the Rue de Tuileries until she came to the bridge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Exposed by the Mask written by Sir Peter Hall and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-18 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these four lectures Peter Hall reveals a lifetime of discoveries about classical theatre, Shakespeare, opera and modern drama. The central argument is that form and structured language paradoxically give freedom to power of thought and feeling, much as the masks of early Greek drama enabled actors to express extreme emotion. The mask may take many forms – the precise language of Beckett and Pinter, the classical form of Mozart’s operas, or Shakespeare’s verse. Reprinted to form part of the Oberon Masters series, a brand new collection of attractive hardbacks on key themes within the arts written by leading lights in each subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mask John Gombarov's supreme frailty, if frailty it can be called in a world as frail as ours, was his habit of discoursing upon life - his life. This weakness, common enough in old men and philosophers to be overlooked by a none too tolerant world, might indeed have been tedious not to say grotesque in any other young man than Gombarov, upon whom the habit sat like a gallant garment, made by a prince of tailors - so much so that the two or three intimate friends to whom, from time to time, he unbosomed himself, far from frowning upon him, encouraged him. Who, if not this same Gombarov, should discourse upon life? Let every man to his trade. He had lived life, had steeped himself in life, and the blend of his woes and joys produced a brew ironic and piquant rather an insipid or bitter. And in recounting his tragicomic experiences, he spoke quietly and evenly, and used neither the violent gesture of the tragic actor nor the forced guffaw of the comedian; you felt rather the oracular manner of a man who accepted everything and was astonished at nothing. "A man's life," observed Gombarov in one of his reflective moods, "is on the surface a series of isolated pictures, yet in some mysterious way connected or grouped into a harmonious if not always a perfect pattern.
