Theatre is a collaboration of various forms of fine art which utilizes live performances presenting before the audience on a stage at a specific place within a scheduled time (Dugdale 10). The message is communicated through a combination of various channels like songs, speech gestures or dances. Stagecraft skills are combined with elements of art to make the performance more physical and near to real life experience. Theatre is categorized broadly into drama, musical theatre, comedy, tragedy and improvisation. Any form of these accepts integration of various production modes and collective reception to influence the artwork being presented. As a result of this cooperation of items in the theatre

Many people from different countries across the world have been coming to United States, including Austrian director Billy Wilder. He directed many film with different genres including Film Noir. Film Noir translates to “Dark Film,” the name was given by the French after watching Hollywood crime thrillers that began to show after World War II. These films typically had dark lighting style closely related to those in German Expressionist films. However, Film Noir borrows its form from influences of major Hollywood popular genres, using themes that were related to social context and civilian life in the United States. Two films that demonstrate how Film Noir was influenced by Hollywood and the social context in America include Sunset Boulevard (1950) and Ace in the Hole (1951) both directed and written by Billy Wilder.

Cirque Du Soleil’s show in Downtown Disney is a show that I have wanted to see for a very long time. The creative marketing that I have seen has made me very interested in the shows. Many of my friends and colleagues have already seen the show and have highly recommended it. “Cirque du Soleil is one of the rare companies that utterly redefine their industries. It takes the circus’s raw materials – trapeze artists, contortionists, strong men, clowns – combines them with surreal costumes, nonstop New Age music, and dazzling stagecraft, and then ties it all together with a vaguely profound theme like “ a tribute to the nomadic soul” or “a phantasmagoria of urban life”” (Kreitner, 231).

Having knowledge and involvement in both the acting and the technical aspects of theater, I expected the production to deliver a qualitative performance that gave its audience the full experience. This experience is achieved by the elements of theater such as acting, lights, sounds, props, costume and set design

Introduction The art form of theatre can be traced far back several centuries, with its origin not properly identified. We can find many different styles of it in civilizations from the Ancient Greeks, Ancient Romans, Ancient Chinese and more. It has developed through many styles in order to become what we see on stage today. As new technologies began to emerge in the late 20th century, lights, sound and visualization became increasingly important to theatre.

Through its dynamic directing and acting the show captured the audience and took us to the 1920s City of Chicago. All performs in the production were wearing costumes of black color and the style in the 1920s, along with a simple orchestra in the background, this made clear the setting in which the story takes place. The production is unlike others in that the whole production is made of many smaller simpler acts based of the theater genre called “vaudeville acts”.

Our company will workshop the project over several months with fine local and regional actors, guiding them to the truth within the given circumstances of each scene. At that point, we'll match this realistic foundation of performance with an inspired, contemporary production designer (who understands minimalism, projection and the abstract/non-traditional use of an environment) to create a freshly immediate

The story begins with our protagonist, eleven-year-old noir film fanatic Alex, she discovers that her neighbor has gone missing. Clues lead Alex to locate her neighbor, and to rescue him Alex and her acquaintance nine-year-old Tubs must the urban area of their town. The story resolves with Alex locating her neighbor within the home of a

I have to say right from the word go that this is classic film noir in true Hollywood style, and as detective films go might just be the best acted, best scripted and best directed whodunnit you will ever have the privilege of watching. Bogart plays private eye Phillip Marlowe, hired by a dying old man with two beautiful, but uncontrollable daughters.

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.

What is Film Noir? Film Noir literally means “Black Film” in French, the French coined this after World War 2 when they were finally able to view American films again after the war and they found that these films were quite different than what they used to be. These films had a completely different atmosphere, a different emotion that was displayed. Film Noir had a very distrustful air about its nature, lacking integrity. Every scene was cloaked in darkness and the plot had a looming sense of despair (TheBook). The war left America in dark times and Film Noir was one of the ways from them to express it.

American film noir didn’t start as a genre but a visual style of film as depicted in 1940s American films like This Gun for Hire, but following the coining of the term by post world war II french scholars film noir especially from the 70s to the present day through films like LA Confidential has evolved to a very recognizable and full featured genre . We are able to recognize films within the noir genre as with any genre films for their distinct syntactic and semantic qualities, the same theories/concepts Rick Altman uses to define the difficult concept of genre remain very similar between the 1940s noir and today’s contemporary neo noir. In talking about the syntactic and semantic list of film noir its pretty helpful to know and understand what these elements are. It’s difficult to say that there is a sole formula for every noir film, but there are many recognizable commonly occuring traits that remain constant from the genre’s inception over 70 years ago going forward into contemporary neo noir. In terms of syntactic elements as identified in the Belton text’s noir chapter the most universal elements would be the complex narrative structure, the violent nature and involvement with crime, fem fatales, arbitration of justice, tough guys, and loneliness. These are really what drive the film non visually whereas the semantics contribute to the visual stylings of the film. Noir films share the common semantic elements of low key lighting, dark and rainy nights, sequencing,

This paper posits that the media product of film noir produced by Hollywood between the 1940’s and 1950’s exemplifies a Gramscian approach to ideological views of America’s post war societal expectations. Film noir, basing its content of crime, corruption, sex, and power found an acceptance with American audiences who could relate directly to the tensions felt by the genre’s cadre of characters. As a result, the requirement for Gramsci’s theory of ideology and popular culture exists through the consent of audiences of film noir’s themes and provides an example of a hegemonic ideology that is won. This paper will provide the reader with the social and cultural context in which film noir existed, link Gramscian theory to its political economy production purpose, and include a semiotic analysis of the complex themes and coding of film noir, specifically focusing on the use of female sexuality.
