Download or read book Dramatic Circumstances written by William Wesbrooks and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book, noted director and educator William Wesbrooks provides an exciting and eminently practical approach for singers and actors who want to think about their work in a way that brings them a greater sense of vitality, freedom, and empowerment. Drawing upon his years of experience and a keen psychological insight, Wesbrooks utilizes our inherent attraction to storytelling. He presents an exciting process that allows you as a performer to extract from the dramatic circumstances of stories everything you need to bring the characters you play and the songs you sing to a place of vibrant realization. His approach will inspire you to trust in yourself and your own ability as you use your mind, body, and spirit, so as to begin “living inside” your stories in a way that brings them to life for yourself as well as your audience. The process is simple in its structure yet profound in its impact. Dramatic Circumstances will prove an invaluable resource for actors, singers, teachers, directors, and anyone else who knows and believes in the power of stories to inform and touch the lives of those who tell and hear them.
Download or read book The Thirty Six Dramatic Situations written by Mike Figgis and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original 36 Dramatic Situations was written in in French by Georges Polti in the 1850s. Polti synthesised all drama as belonging to combinations of 36 situations. In the book he illustrates each 'situation' with examples from classical and French theatre. When Mike Figgis used the book as an aid in putting together a treatment for a film, he found that his landscape of creativity had altered quite radically and ideas came forth with relative ease.He realised that Polti's book was system of reference which could be a powerful tool for writers. So he began updating all of the references, moving the focus away from theatre and focussing primarily on cinema. In the first half, each 'Dramatic Situation' is laid out under the 36 headings. The specific 'Situation' is then explained more fully, followed by an example from a specific film, accompanied by an explanation of how the device is used in the film. In the second half of the book there are a series of charts which analyse 150 great films (of all genres) based on the 36 situations.

Download or read book A Heavenly Chorus written by Justin Jeffcoat Schedtler and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The claim that Revelation's hymns function as did Classical tragic choral lyrics insofar as they comment upon or interpret the surrounding narrative has become axiomatic in studies of Revelation. Justin Jeffcoat Schedtler marks an advance in this line of inquiry by offering an exegetical analysis of Revelation's hymns alongside a presentation of the forms and functions of ancient tragic choruses and choral lyrics. Evaluating the hymns in light of the varieties and complexities of ancient tragic choruses, he demonstrate that they are not best evaluated in terms of choral lyrics generally, but in terms of dramatic hymns in particular, insofar as they constitute mythological-theological reflections on the surrounding narrative, and function to situate the surrounding dramatic activity in a particular mythological-theological contexts.

Download or read book Drama in Education Learning Art Medium written by Dr. Mohamed Abou El-khir and published by Mohamed Abou El-khir. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a PhD thesis from Leeds Metropolitan University on seeking to explore a new direction through the use of resources in the development of learning through Drama in education. The quality of participants experience can be enhanced by "resources" or "the Dramatic environment" (i.e. the use of space, props, costumes, music, sound effects, sets and lighting) Therefore, the book explains the nature of learning through Theatre, Theatre in Education and DIE. Therefore, it is appropriate to look at a range of theories of learning to see where DIE fits such as Piaget, Donaldson, and Vygotsky and also to comprehend which art theories can be related more specifically to DIE, for example, Stanislavski, Craig and Brecht. Consequent on this could be the conceptualisation of the relationship between drama as arts process and as learning medium. Moreover, Action research was used, and different data collection was collected and analyzed. This book contains many examples and case studies that benefit drama teachers and expand their experiences. To conclude, the book is about the theory and practice of drama teaching in primary and secondary schools.

Download or read book Leadership and the Labour Party written by John Gaffney and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationships between narrative and leadership, between rhetoric and performance, between doctrine and its voicing, are crucial to party politics and are underrated by both practising politicians and scholars. This study analyses the ‘performance of leadership’ in the UK Labour Party, and what this means for a new approach to understanding politics. The main focus of this study is the five-year leadership of Ed Miliband, 2010-2015. The fortunes of the party and the party leadership can be apprehended as a series of performed rhetorical events. A political leader’s persona is a construction that performs – rather like an actor – in the political space. The author identifies and analyses the architecture and the modalities of leadership persona construction and performance in contemporary politics.
