Download or read book Amateur Theater written by Van H. Cartmell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Amateur Theater: A Guide for Actor and Director This book is designed to be a practical guide for the beginner in the amateur theater. It touches on almost all the aspects of producing a non-professional play except the financial ones. The organization is presupposed. This book deals with the choosing, casting, directing and staging of plays. It is not aimed at making a professional of anyone - only to interest and, possibly, help those for whom the production of plays seems to be a pleasant hobby. It is primarily intended for the ones responsible for putting on the play and, particularly, for the amateur director who finds himself facing a new play with a mixed flock of relatively determined but variably equipped interpreters. Much of it is based on a similar book first published twenty-five years ago. The principles and problems have not much changed in the interim. The theater-in-the-round has come into greater use and "the method" in acting has received much critical notice, but for all practical purposes, the problems that face the inexperienced remain the same. The writer has simply had twice as much practice as he had had before in working and playing with that generally intelligent and delightful individual - the amateur actor.

Download or read book Reflections on Play Sport and Culture written by Felix Lebed and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The psychological dependence of humanity on playing is huge. Its nature and functional utility are unclear. These linked yet contradictory issues have created the intrigue that has fed philosophical thought for more than two hundred years. During this period, philosophy transferred many of the subjects of its analysis to the aegis of the humanities that it spawned. Each of them pays close attention to human play and studies it with its own methods of theoretical and experimental research. Thus, what was once a general philosophical comprehension of human play has branched out into different directions, definitions, and theories. This new book represents a renewed general view of human play. The unique quality of the volume lies in its fairly rare interdisciplinary methodology, encompassing a broad spectrum of the humanities: philosophy, anthropology, sociology, and the history of play, and behavioral analysis of playing, which have been done by the author. As a result, the volume ends with the proposition of a new general approach to human play that is named by the author “play field theory”. Such an approach makes reflections on play, sport, and culture a source for all scholars studying play, by widening their knowledge through both a new general view and their familiarization with notions from neighboring fields and disciplines.
