Book excerpt: High school students all across the world dream of being the future stars of the stage or screen, but many do not know how to achieve those goals. It begins with receiving the proper education. Performing-arts programs prepare students for the competitive but rewarding industry, but how does one go about entering one of those programs? College auditions are often new and challenging for most high school students; many only have experience in their high school drama club or local community theater. This process does not have to be so intimidating. The tips in this book will help any high school student get into the performance program of their dreams. All the necessary information is here. The various sections of this book include the differences between majors, how to schedule auditions, how to find audition material, and how to ace the audition. It also covers logistical aspects of the process, like finding schools, applying, making travel plans, and good terms to know. Many high school students have no idea as to how intricate the college audition process truly is, but now they can be prepared for it. Soon those dreams of dancing on a Broadway stage, performing in a professional symphonic orchestra, or becoming the next big movie star will become a reality. With the proper education, any hardworking student can do anything they set their mind to. All they need is a little guidance along the way, which is exactly what this book provides.
Download or read book Performing Arts as High Impact Practice written by Michelle Hayford and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-21 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates how the performing arts in higher education nationally contribute to the “high impact practices,” as identified by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU). Using the well-known map of the HIPs for illustrating the centrality of performing arts practices in higher education, the editors and authors of this volume call for increased participation by performing arts programs in general education and campus initiatives, with specific case studies as a guide. Performing arts contribute to the efforts of their institution in delivering a strong liberal arts education that uniquely serves students to meet the careers of the future. This is the first book to explicitly link the performing arts to the HIPs, and will result in the implementation of best practices to better meet the educational needs of students. At stake is the viability of performing arts programs to continue to serve students in their pursuit of a liberal arts education.
Download or read book Off Sites written by Bertie Ferdman and published by Southern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honorable Mention, ATHE's 2018 Outstanding Book Award Contextualizing the techniques and methods of the incredibly rich and vital genre of site-specific performance, author Bertie Ferdman traces the evolution of that term. Originally used for experimental staging practices and then later also for engaged situational events, site-specific is no longer sufficient for the genre’s many contemporary variations. Using the term off-site, Ferdman illustrates five distinct ways artists have challenged the disciplinary framework of site-specific theatre: blurring the traditional boundaries between the fictional and the real; changing how the audience and actor interact with each other and whether they are physically together or apart; fabricating sites from physically bound, conceptually constructed, or virtual spaces; staging live situations in real/nonreal and often mediated encounters; and challenging our preconceived notions of time and space. Tracing the genealogy of site-based work through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Ferdman outlines the theoretical groundwork for her study in the introduction. Individual chapters focus on distinct types of off-sites—the interdisciplinary discourse of disciplinary sites; the spaces of audience engagement with spectator sites; the dislocation of time for temporal sites; and the historiographical spaces of mapping for urban sites. Ferdman examines site-based work being done in the Americas by contemporary companies and artists experimenting with new forms and practices for site-driven theatre. Key productions discussed include Private Moment by David Levine, Geyser Land by Mary Ellen Strom and Ann Carlson, Jim Findlay’s Dream of the Red Chamber, and Lola Arias’ Mi Vida Después.

Download or read book The Caterwauling Critic written by Burney Garelick and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caterwauling Critic A Selection of Theater and Concert Reviews from Florence, Oregon, by Burney Garelick There is no denying that the central Oregon coast is a picture-perfect marvel of scenic splendor. But it also rains a lot and frequently the wind blows hard and cold, putting a damper on outdoor recreational pursuits. That's when the arts come to the rescue. Florence, a small town with a population of about 9,000 located at the center of the coast, is home to actors and musicians and fine artists and art galleries. But the visual arts are another story. The Caterwauling Critic focuses on the performing arts. The Caterwauling Critic includes twenty-seven reviews of plays and concerts performed from 2013 to 2017. Burney Garelick has selected these from an abundant archive of reviews she wrote since the turn of the 21st century. The reviews review drama, musical drama, comedy, musical comedy, and a variety of musical performance including classical, jazz, pop, and country. Many of the reviews have appeared in the Siuslaw News, Florence's twice-weekly newspaper. Some have been posted on Facebook, and some have not yet seen the light of day. Among the theater pieces are Florence's extraordinary productions of Broadway classics-The Sound of Music, Chicago, Les Miserables, Once Upon A Mattress, The Addams Family, and The Pirates of Penzance. And there are lesser known hilarious and poignant plays. The reviews do not only cover who, when and where; these reviews embrace the ambiance of the performance, allowing the reader to experience or re-experience the show. Florence residents of all ages participate in theater, children learning their craft in a youth troupe taught by professionals, working adults making time from their employment, and retired seniors treading the boards as long as they can tread. Sometimes visiting thespians and musicians from other Oregon cities will strut their stuff and blow their horns on Florence stages and the Florence concert association books an annual season of multiple concerts featuring music makers from other states and Canada. Florence, Oregon, is a center for the performing arts, according to The Caterwauling Critic. Although truth be told, that adjective is ironic because there is very little cat fighting in this book. Writing reviews has been a labor of love for the author. Enough said. Whatever the weather, visit Florence because there's always another opening of another show. In the meantime, enjoy The Caterwauling Critic.
Download or read book Performance Media Art Culture written by Jacki Apple and published by Intellect (UK). This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience the interdisciplinary performance scene of the 1980s and beyond through the eyes of one of its most compelling witnesses. Jacki Apple's Performance / Media / Art / Culture traces performance art, multimedia theater, audio arts, and dance in the United States from 1983 to the present. Showcasing thirty-five years of Apple's critical essays and reviews, the collection explores the rise and diversification of intermedia performance; how new technologies (or rehashed old technologies) influence American culture and contemporary life; the interdependence of pop and performance culture; and the politics of art and the performance of politics. Apple writes with a journalist's attention to the immediacy of account and a historian's attention to structural aesthetic and personal networks, resulting in a volume brimming with big ideas but grounded in concentrated reviews of individual performances. Many of the pieces featured in this collection originally appeared in small press journals and magazines that have now gone out of print. Preserved and republished here for current and future readers, they offer a rich portrait of performance at the end of the millennium.
Download or read book Innovation in the Arts written by Jason C. White and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise guide aims to increase what we understand by innovation in the arts and identify and support opportunities and strategies for the unique ways in which artists and arts administrators think about, engage in, and pursue successful innovation in their diverse creative practice. Innovations in the Arts are often marginalised from a research perspective, in part because of the lack of a sound and compelling theoretical framework to support and explain process distinctions from business and management innovation. This book identifies three key concepts - art innovation, art movement innovation, and audience experience innovation - supported by formal theory for each concept presented and evidenced through case studies in art history. In this way, the book enables readers to identify, explain, and support their innovation efforts as visual, literary, and performing artists and arts administrators. It also explores strategies for pursuing innovation in practice. Drawing attention to the unique ways in which artists and arts administrators think about and engage in innovation, this readable book will be an essential reading for students in all aspects of the creative and cultural industries and an essential guide to developing and promoting innovation in the arts for practitioners and researchers alike.

Download or read book Introduction to Fine Arts First Edition written by Gary S. Towne and published by Cognella Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perspectives on Humanity in the Fine Arts takes a historical approach to western art and helps readers envision times and places by studying their unique forms of artistic expression. Students first learn about the elemental principles of the four basic arts: visual art, music, theater, and dance, as expressions of the vibrancy of different cultural environments. They then learn to understand the arts in their geographical and historical contexts, as the text immerses the student in the fabric of western cultural history through artistic experience. Within the historical domain of each era, a rich variety of visual and performing arts examples brings the period and its culture to life. The arts offer a way for the student to understand each culture's ideals, aspirations, and search for perfection. By studying a diverse grouping of arts within a specific geographical and historical niche, the student can experience each culture as a contemporary participant might. Areas covered include prehistory, the ancient Near East and Egypt, classical Greece and Rome, the Byzantine Empire, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, baroque, neoclassical, romantic and twentieth-century art forms, and others. Students come to understand the position and impact of art as expressions of a culture's soul in the development of western history. Rooted in this conception of the collective arts as expressions of unique cultures, Perspectives on Humanity in the Fine Arts is intended for survey courses that cover the fine arts for non-majors.

Download or read book Performing Arts Center Management written by Patricia Dewey Lambert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performing arts centers (PACs) are an integral part of the cultural and creative industries, significantly influencing the cultural, social, and economic vitality of communities around the world. Virtually all PACs are community-based and serve the public interest, whether structured as a public, nonprofit, for-profit, or hybrid entity. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the important community role of performing arts centers, especially those that mainly host and present work produced by other arts organizations. This gap is startling, given the ubiquitous presence of PACs in urban centers, small communities, as well as colleges and universities. This co-edited reference book provides valuable information at the intersection of theory and practice in the professional field of executive leadership of performing arts centers. Drawing on the expertise of leading academics, consultants, and executives, this book focuses on institutions and practices in the United States, and is contextualized within additional fields such as cultural planning, urban revitalization, and economic development. Performing Arts Center Management aims to provide valuable theoretical, conceptual, empirical, and practice-based information to current and future leaders in creative and cultural industries management. It serves as a unique reference for researchers, university students, civic leaders, urban planners, public venue managers, and arts administrators aspiring to improve or advance their work in successfully managing performing arts centers.
