This book was released on 1991-05-09 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume includes major theoretical writings on drama from the Greeks, through the Renaissance up to the late seventeenth century, compiled and edited for students of drama and theater. There are substantial extracts from twenty-eight writers including Plato, Aristotle, Horace, Scaliger, Castelvetro, Guarini, Sidney, Jonson, Corneille, Racine, Dryden and Congreve. The compilers have chosen writers who present detailed arguments about issues that are still relevant to our understanding of drama and theater. Many of the texts have been freshly translated and all have been newly annotated and introduced by the compilers, who draw attention to recurrent themes by a system of cross-references. Michael Sidnell's useful introduction explores the issues that frequently concern these writers and practitioners: the nature of imitation, the relation of dramatic text to live performance, the effect of stage action on audience emotion and behavior--issues that still concern critics and theorists of drama today. Later volumes will cover the period from Diderot to Victor Hugo, modern dramatic theory, and performance theory.

Download or read book DRAMA THERAPY written by Robert J. Landy and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging from the first degree-granting program in drama therapy, this text is the first to examine drama therapy as a discipline. It deals not with drama in therapy but with drama therapy itself, documenting its legitimacy as a distinct field. After reviewing its dramatic and psychotherapeutic context, the author examines the conceptual basis of drama therapy, tracing its interdisciplinary sources and delineating important concepts from related fields. A theoretical model of drama therapy is offered, based on the source material. The most widely practiced techniques of drama therapy are examined, including psychodramatic practices and projective techniques. The author also focuses on appropriate populations and settings: the emotionally, physically, socially, and developmentally disabled in schools, clinics, hospitals, prisons, and other environments. Special attention is directed to therapeutic theatre performances. The text concludes with reports of research, past, present, and future, and offers observations based upon the significant role drama therapy can play in fostering balance within individuals and among peoples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from European Theories of the Drama: With a Supplement on the American Drama; An Anthology of Dramatic Theory and Criticism From Aristotle to the Present Day, in a Series of Selected Texts, With Commentaries, Biographies, and Bibliographies European Theories of the Drama is an attempt to set before the reader the development of the theory of dramatic technique in Europe from Aristotle to the present time. It has been my purpose to select such texts and parts of texts as have been influential in shaping the technical form of plays. Sometimes this doctrine appears as criticism of particular works, sometimes as the playwrights own theory of his art, and sometimes as a history, a summing up of the dramatic products of a particular epoch. The texts I have selected are arranged according to countries, and generally in: chronological order, so that the whole volume, texts and preliminary historical remarks taken together, will furnish the reader an idea of the changes in dramatic technique as they were gradually introduced from country to country, and century to century. It was no easy task to choose from the vast amount of material exactly what theories were most important, and reject what were foreign to my pre-conceived idea, for I have tried to include only the theories of dramatic form, and not venture into the fields of ethics and esthetics. This was, of course, an impossible task, because the technique of no true art is separable from ethical and esthetic considerations. It was inevitable that in the greater part of the writings I was called upon to consider, there should be constant reference to the purely psychological side of dramatic art, and to the moral intent and influence. However, as it was out of the question to give space in a book the size of the present one, to any of the exclusively esthetic or moral disquisitions on the subject, I have contented myself with including theories dealing primarily with dramatic structure. But it will be seen that even in these, there is a constant tendency on the part of theorists to enter into the moral side of the drama: from Aristotle to Bernard Shaw there is a school of dramatic critics which demands that the drama shall shape the morals and manners of men; to these critics, morality is itself a part of their theory of the form. To Dumas fils, for instance, it is the end of the drama, its excuse for existence. I have naturally allowed these critics to speak for themselves, and not attempted to select from among their utterances the passages dealing exclusively with dramatic form in itself. On the other hand, the estheticians like Hegel and Croce have no place in my scheme, for to include them meant the inclusion of the psychologists: it is only a step from esthetics to psychology, and it would be necessary to add the interesting, but from my point of view hardly pertinent books of Gustave Le Bon and Henri Bergson,: mention but two modern writers. The texts in the present collection are culled from many sources. First is the work the critics pure and simple.
