Acting in Opera by George E. Shea Pdf

Excerpt from Acting in Opera: Its A-B-C, With Descriptive Examples, Practical Hints and Numerous Illustrations Now, the human body's capacity for varied expression is extensive, but this variety is formed through differing combinations of a relatively few primary positions and movements of the trunk, head, and limbs. Some of these I wish to dissect and explain, subsequently indicating their use in connection with the poetical text and the musical phrase of Opera, after which a few practical sug gestions for stage deportment will follow. The beginner, once in possession of these fundamentals, will find them applicable to parts of widely dif ferent character. This modest work does not pretend to catalogue all, or even a majority, of the phases of plastic art applicable to Opera. It but aims to disclose to the neophyte the possi bilities of this art and the principles its foundation.

Acting in Opera, Its A-B-C; with Descriptive Examples, Practical Hints and Numerous Illustrations by George Edward Shea Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII "coming On" And "going Off" Stage; How To Take Other Side Of Stage; The Feet; General Remarks. "coming On" And "going Off" Stage In stepping onto the stage from the wings, be sure that your "up-stage" leg or boot conies first into the audience's view; and when coming onto stage with an arm raised, let it always be the up-stage arm (see illustrations, page 46). Thus, if you came on from the left wings--i. e., to the audience's left--your raised arm would be the left one, and your left leg or foot would step out first into view. The above rule holds good for the arm, but not for the leg, when you "come on" retreating, walking, running, or staggering backward in fright, apprehension, bewilderment, or in an unbalanced state. In coming on thus backward it is the up-stage arm that would be raised, but it is the down-stage leg that first appears, and the face would be slightly turned down-stage unless there be a special reason for the contrary. If one comes on gaily--in the guise of a peasant or a gondolier, or of any character not burdened by a sense of his dignity and importance--one can skip on, precisely as a child skips, waving one's hat; up-stage leg and waving, up-stage arm come first into view, unless the up-stage arm happens to be around a dainty peasant waist or reposing on a muscular peasant shoulder. The same general rule holds for "going off" stage: the up-stage leg takes you out of sight of the audience, and the up-stage arm makes the final gesture; because, if made with the downstage arm, your head would be hidden by it from the audience. In "going off" backward, the downstage leg takes the step that carries the body out of the audience's sight. How To Cross To Right Or Left Your taking the other side of the stage, in...

TV in the USA [3 volumes] by Vincent LoBrutto Pdf

This three-volume set is a valuable resource for researching the history of American television. An encyclopedic range of information documents how television forever changed the face of media and continues to be a powerful influence on society. What are the reasons behind enduring popularity of television genres such as police crime dramas, soap operas, sitcoms, and "reality TV"? What impact has television had on the culture and morality of American life? Does television largely emulate and reflect real life and society, or vice versa? How does television's influence differ from that of other media such as newspapers and magazines, radio, movies, and the Internet? These are just a few of the questions explored in the three-volume encyclopedia TV in the USA: A History of Icons, Idols, and Ideas. This expansive set covers television from 1950 to the present day, addressing shows of all genres, well-known programs and short-lived series alike, broadcast on the traditional and cable networks. All three volumes lead off with a keynote essay regarding the technical and historical features of the decade(s) covered. Each entry on a specific show investigates the narrative, themes, and history of the program; provides comprehensive information about when the show started and ended, and why; and identifies the star players, directors, producers, and other key members of the crew of each television production. The set also features essays that explore how a particular program or type of show has influenced or reflected American society, and it includes numerous sidebars packed with interesting data, related information, and additional insights into the subject matter.

Materiality and Popular Culture by Anna Malinowska,Karolina Lebek Pdf

This book critically approaches contemporary meanings of materiality and discuses ways in which we understand, experience, and engage with objects through popular culture in our private, social and professional lives. Appropriating Arjun Appadurai’s famous phrase: "the social life of things", with which he inspired scholars to take material culture more seriously and, as a result, treat it as an important and revealing area of cultural studies, the book explores the relationship between material culture and popular practices, and points to the impact they have exerted on our co-existence with material worlds in the conditions of late modernity.

Try Whistling This by Andrew Ford Pdf

Perceptive and entertaining, Try Whistling This is a pleasurable journey through music, ideas and history. Andrew Ford traces the concept of dirty dancing back to the sixteenth century, marvels at the weirdness of Percy Grainger and considers the decision of Wilhelm Furtwängler to keep conducting under the Nazis. He explores the intersection of words and music, the bugbear of Australian musical identity, and the fundamental importance, in music and in life, of listening. There are essays based on Ford’s acclaimed radio series Music and Fashion, as well as illuminating examinations of music-makers from Mozart to Shostakovich, Elgar to Britten, Cole Porter to Bob Dylan. In Try Whistling This, a brilliant communicator offers a fresh take on music and changing times.
