Publisher's Notes
A One-Of-A-Kind
Acting Aid With
Young Talent In Mind
In drama classes and at auditions, young actors have continually had to resort to performing roles written for much older men and women -- roles that are often difficult for them to identify with or to fully understand. But this innovative scenebook gives younger performers the opportunity to portray characters their own age. From the classics to the finest in contemporary drama -- from Shakespeare, Shaw, and Chekov to Miller, Williams, and Kopit -- here are sparkling theatrical gems that are perfect for class or theater group study and performance. Complete with thorough character and plot descriptions, Scenes for Young Actors is an absolute must for the talented young beginner and professional alike.

Theatre
by Ronald Wainscott
Theatre: Collaborative Acts stimulates creative thinking through its interwoven themes of theatre as culture, collaboration, spatial art, and a dynamic fusion of past and present. The central premise of the text is that theatre is entertainment and art. It allows us to escape, relax, and refocus. Theatre also stimulates creative thinking and provokes discussion of artistic, social and ethical questions. Through their study of theatre, students develop lifelong tools to help them enjoy, analyze, understand, read, visualize, and get the most out of many different types of theatre experiences. Theatre: Collaborative Acts emphasizes the diversity of purpose and effect of theatre, and the collaborative nature of the theatrical process. It requires the efforts of many people with different skills to create theatre. Features: Four major themes and principles guide the text and provide a consistent backdrop for students as they explore theatre: Theatre is cultural study; looking at theatrical events and how they are created provides a window into the way a society views itself, drawing examples from multicultural theatre, not just the Western tradition. Theatre is collaboration; theatre-making is a shared experience including both theatre practitioners and audience members. Theatre is a spatial art; critical to theatrical collaboration is the way space is used, adapted, transformed, and the way theatrical artists interact in and with that space. Theatre is a dynamic fusion of past and present; it represents a unique opportunity to see how the past and present are interrelated. Boxed features illustrate the core themes of the text and high-interest topics: “Exploring Collaboration” boxes include profiles of successful artistic teams and feature a variety of approaches to the creative process. “Exploring Historical and Cultural Perspectives” boxes provide windows to specific theatrical events. “Artists of the Theatre” boxes introduce colorful and influential theatrical figures in theatre and appear only in Act III. Special features following each “Act” provide additional information on special topics: The photo gallery “Interpreting Space and Design” demonstrates ways in which spaces have been redefined by directors and designers, and examines the human figure in space and the dynamics of three-dimensional performance. Key Theatrical Events Timeline of selective theatrical, social and artistic events allows students to place their explorations in a wider context. The photo gallery “Diversity in the Theatre” demonstrates a range of cultural, racial, stylistic, gender, and topical diversity in type of theatre and theatrical experiences. Student-friendly pedagogy helps students identify important information and aid in their exam preparation: “For Further Exploration” provides a reference list of articles, books, videos, and web sites. “Questions and Activities” provide springboards for class discussion or outside projects. A list of “Key Terms and Concepts” (in boldface in the chapter) are arranged by topic and followed by page reference number. History is integrated throughout the text, helping students make historical and cultural connections. New and unique “Explore Theatre: A Backstage Pass” is a peer-to-peer, interactive, DVD learning tool (available on demand in a free package with the book) developed by students for students under the direction of an award winning teacher of theatre. Seventeen major content areas (director, actor, costume designer, etc.) are covered, with an eye towards introducing students to the people and processes that make theatre happen.
Gran Teatro LA Fenice
by
How does one do justice to a building that is far more than its constituent materials, a building that is a vessel of myth, an embodiment of the dreams and legends of a city and a culture? The living reputation of the Gran Teatro La Fenice was assured from its opening in 1792. It was destined to be exceptional. Unbelievably ornate, an artwork in its own right, it has played host to the widest possible range of creative activity. From the operas of Verdi and Rossini to the postmodern dance theatre of Pina Bausch, with two centuries of music along the way, it has seen it all and made it great. And the huge fire of 1996 that levelled the building once again is just another step on the journey. The Phoenix will rise again, as before. And this volume, magnificent itself, explains how and why. It offers a full history of the Gran Teatro in words and pictures, with stills from the great productions, set designs, elevations, stories of the celebrities, singers and composers, alongside stunningly reproduced old engravings and up to the minute reportage on the recent blaze. A book world that will endure.
