Performing Religion on the Secular Stage

Performing Religion on the Secular Stage

This book examines the relations between Western religion secularism and modern theater and performance. Sharon Aronson-Lehavi posits that the ongoing cultural power of religious texts icons and ideas on the one hand and the artistic freedom enabled by secularism and avant-garde experimentalism on the other has led theatre artists throughout the twentieth century to create a uniquely modern theatrical hybrid–theater performances that simultaneously re-inscribe and grapple with religion and religious performativity. The book compares this phenomenon with medieval forms of religious theater and offers deep and original analyses of significant contemporary works ranging from plays and performances by August Strindberg Hugo Ball (Dada) Jerzy Grotowski and Hanoch Levin to those created by Adrienne Kennedy Rina Yerushalmi Deb Margolin Milo Rau and Sarah Ruhl. The book analyzes a new and original historiography of a uniquely modern theatrical phenomenon a study that is of high importance considering the reemergence of religion in contemporary culture and politics. | Performing Religion on the Secular Stage

Black Women Centre Stage Diasporic Solidarity in Contemporary Black British Theatre

Black Women Centre Stage Diasporic Solidarity in Contemporary Black British Theatre

This book examines the political alliances that are built across the diaspora in contemporary plays written by Black women playwrights in the UK. Through the concept of creative diasporic solidarity it offers an innovative theoretical approach to examine the ways in which the playwrights respond creatively to the violence and marginalisation of Black communities especially Black women. This study demonstrates that theatre can act as a productive space for the ethical encounter with the Other (understood in terms of alterity as someone different from the self) by examining the possibilities of these plays to activate the spectators’ responsibility and solidarity towards different types of violence experienced by Black women offering alternative modes of relationality. The book engages with a range of contemporary works written by Black women playwrights in the UK including Mojisola Adebayo Theresa Ikoko Diana Nneka Atuona Gloria Williams Charlene James or Yusra Warsama bringing to the fore a gendered and intersectional approach to the analysis of the texts. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in contemporary theatre gender studies and diaspora studies. | Black Women Centre Stage Diasporic Solidarity in Contemporary Black British Theatre

From Playtext to Performance on the Early Modern Stage How Did They Do It?

From Playtext to Performance on the Early Modern Stage How Did They Do It?

This book reconsiders the evidence for what we know (or think we know) about early modern performance conditions. This study encourages a new recognition and treatment of certain aspects of the plays as evidence – and demonstrates the significance of the implications of that new information. This book is also an assessment of the competing narratives about the processes involved in early modern performance: about the status of manuscript playbooks about the parts that players memorized about the functions of the bookkeeper about casting about prompting and about rehearsal practices. Leslie Thomson investigates the bases for the interdependent beliefs that an early modern player relied only on his part to prepare for a performance that rehearsal was minimal and that a bookkeeper compensated for these circumstances by prompting any player who was out of his part. By focusing on often ignored (or downplayed) requirements and challenges of early modern play texts Thomson provides evidence for answers that will foster a more nuanced and thorough understanding of original performance practices. That will in turn influence how we read study and edit the plays. This exploration will be of great interest to theatre and performance researchers graduate students teachers of early modern drama at the undergraduate and graduate levels performers directors editors. | From Playtext to Performance on the Early Modern Stage How Did They Do It?

Claudio Monteverdi’s Venetian Operas Sources Performance Interpretation

Claudio Monteverdi’s Venetian Operas Sources Performance Interpretation

Claudio Monteverdi’s Venetian Operas features chapters by a group of scholars and performers of varied backgrounds and specialties who confront the various questions raised by Monteverdi’s late operas from an interdisciplinary perspective. The premise of the volume is the idea that constructive dialogue between musicologists and musicians stage directors and theater historians as well as philologists and literary critics can shed new light on Monteverdi’s two Venetian operas (and their respective librettos by Badoaro and Busenello) not only at the levels of textual criticism historical exegesis and dramaturgy but also with regard to concrete choices of performance staging and mise-en-scène. Following an Introduction setting up the interdisciplinary agenda the volume comprises two main parts: ‘Contexts and Sources’ deals with the historical philosophical and aesthetic contexts of the works - librettos and scores; 'Performance and Interpretation’ offers critical and historical insights regarding the casting singing reciting staging and conducting of the two operas. This volume will appeal to scholars and researchers in Opera Studies and Music History as well as be of interest to early music performers and all those involved with presenting opera on stage. | Claudio Monteverdi’s Venetian Operas Sources Performance Interpretation
