In 1973, Christopher Bruce heard about the murders going on in the small villages and towns of Chile on the orders of the government; just to show off their power, and how they were not afraid to use it. Bruce found out as a result of a letter received from a widow of a Chilean folk singer who had been murdered. He was asked to do work for the Chilean Human Rights Committee. The dance first premiered in 1988, the costume designer being Belinda Scarlett and the music being by Incantation, playing the song ‘Ojos Azules’ which is Spanish for ‘Blue Eyes’.

Beyond the vague, minimalist packages with which Beckett presented weighty questions to us as audiences of the ages, he is also the source of much debate of recent theatrical times. The line is both particularly fine and blurry between where a production has creative license to put on a show the way the director interprets it and where the playwright had specific intentions that are integral to the plot and themes of the play. As somewhat of a control freak when it came to how strictly a production had to follow his exact parameters within the stage directions, Beckett also provided the theatre world with opportunity for legal and philosophical debate on this matter specific to drama as an art form. He had much to offer to the literary world on a whole, evident in his peak achievement of the 1969 Nobel Prize for

    Since this film is a mostly female lead cast , with an exception of a few notable male actors, the praiseworthiness of the cast is a suitable criterion for Ghostbusters because many of the movie critics were expecting for this movie to crash and burn due to the cast being mostly female . In the Metro.Co.Uk article by Caroline Westbrook, She sites Original Ghostbusters cast member Bill Murray , who played a small cameo in the

During the Communist regime in the former Soviet Union, life was very difficult. The people who lived within the countries controlled by the Soviet government experienced levels of oppression akin to slavery. They could not express themselves through any means and had to conform both body and soul to the views of the Communist Party. People could be arrested, imprisoned, shipped off to exile or executed often without trial. Some twenty million people died while Joseph Stalin led the USSR and for many years after his death it was still dangerous to dare criticize his regime, although some scholars put that number closer to forty million people who died. Now that the Soviet Union has broken up and Russia is its own country there is more freedom, but the people still live under the yoke of an oppressive leader who does not tolerate political or social challenges. The people do nothing to stand up to this government because they have all been scarred by the decades they lived under Stalin.

The novel, Ghost Soldiers, written by Hampton Sides, is a great work of literature, depicting the true horrors of war, friendship, and the one thing that was never lost, hope. The non-fictional book takes place in the Philippines during the Japanese occupation of the islands from 1942 and goes through three gruesome years to end in the year of 1945. The book begins with the idea of surrendering Bataan, an American occupied area of the Philippines, because of the severe amount of wounded and very little defense to last out or defeat the incoming Imperial Army. General Edward King formally surrendered Bataan and this marked the start of what would be later called

In my list of movies that always make me cry is the movie “Ghost” which was released on July 13, 1990. This movie made that summer really worth while and gave us romance, comedy and much to think about. The movie starred Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg.

Ghosts, as with any other misunderstood group or people, have been preyed upon by others without understanding. The lack of knowledge about ghosts and haunting activity has led people astray as to what they really are. What Hollywood and television portrays is very inaccurate and cannot be relied upon as truthful. They show these spirits of the dead as being evil in nature, filled with malice and harmful intent. But that this is not the case. The field of paranormal activity is amazing. It has caught the imagination of people from every walk of life. It has always interested me and has influenced me to pick this as the topic for my research. Through this research I wish to uncover the truth about the existence of ghosts.

When I first began directing, to me, the play was the thing. My mind was focused on the goings on of the stage with limited awareness beyond its borders. It seemed that dealing with the audience was somebody else’s job. If I directed a great play, I thought, people would come and like it. Job done. “Why this play now?” was a philosophical, intellectual question—but not something I really confronted in an educational setting.

In the words of Gay McAuley, “for an activity to be regarded as a performance, it must involve the live presence of the performers and those witnessing it…” (McAuley, 2009, cited in Schechner, 2013, pp.38). This statement recognises the importance of both the actor and the audience for something to truly function as a performance. In addition, Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones highlights the significance of the theatrical space and how it can influence an audience stating that “on entering a theatre of any kind, a spectator walks into a specific space, one that is designed to produce a certain reaction or series of responses” (Llewellyn-Jones, 2002, pp.3). The relationship between actor, audience and theatrical space is no less important today than it was at the time of theatre during the Spanish Golden Age and the creation of Commedia dell’arte in Italy. Despite being very close geographically with theatre thriving for both in the same era, sources that explore the social, cultural and historical context of these countries and the theatre styles will bring to light the similarities and differences. This essay will analyse the staging, the behaviour of the audience as well as the challenges the actors faced, and how this directly influenced the relationship between actor, audience and theatrical space.

This film will provide you with an enhanced understanding of the play. Although, it is misleading at times, this version of the play will keep you fully entertained for the full 111 minutes and provide you with extra knowledge of the play. Casting The majority of the cast was well selected,

The above example illustrates not only how the theatrical performance affects the audience, but also how the audience influences its dynamics, development and the characters within it. The actors feel a certain level of acceptance from the viewer, who demands a certain way of depicting the character. Theatre is not just entertainment, itís something much more than that ñ itís education. Theatre should always represent things, rather than

While reading one of our assigned plays, The Ghost Sonata by August Strindberg, I found myself confused throughout most of the play, for this reason, I attended one of the performances at Tulsa Community College’s Southeast Campus in the Studio Theatre. I was present for the Friday show, October 7, 2016 at 8:00 p.m. The play was directed by, TCC’s Coordinator of Theatre Faculty Chair of Visual and Performing Arts and Assistant Professor, Mark Frank. The cast includes, Guest Actor, Jim Runyan as The Old Man, Jacob Hummel; TCC Students, Matthew Gerow as The Student, Arkenholz; Emily Surber as The Milkmaid, a ghost; Holly Cummins as The Superintendent’s Wife; Cristhian Ayala Suruco as The Superintendent;

The song I chose for my english poetry assignment is called “Ghost” by American Authors. I chose this song because it helped inspire me to be active and positive. The song “Ghost” gives me a chance to look back at my past mistakes and how I can prevent them from happening more than once. The song helps me relax as I walk by 24 hour fitness, Mills High School, or any other place in downtown Millbrae. The band called American Authors has a variety of different songs to listen to like “Best day of my life,” “Hit it” or “Believer.” But my favorite song by American Authors is “Ghost” because it was my first song by this band and that I started to like watching ghost shows like Danny Phantom. The reason it made me think of Danny
