A Teacher's Guide

Teaching Canonic Opera and Musical Theater with Intention

Producing on Broadway: A Practical Guide to Modern Commercial Theater is the first ever in-depth guide to becoming a successful theatrical producer. This book provides a thorough and detailed examination of the various skillsets that must be developed in order to be competitive in the business, and explains how those skills are applied in real life situations. Grounded soundly in the theory, history, realities, and aesthetics of the business, two-time Tony Award winning author John Pinckard explains each aspect of making a Broadway show happen, coloring the text with personal anecdotes and case studies of successful producers.

A Practical Guide to Commercial Theater

Producing on Broadway

How do we study the sonic nature of war when very few of these sounds remain? World War One has left little sonic trace other than the popular music of the time. The sounds of World War One extended beyond sounds of entertainment and into the killing fields of the Western Front, the oceans of the world, and for the first time into the skies with the development of aviation. But beyond this, they entered into peoples homes, their streets, and indeed their thoughts, emotions, and feelings. Book-length studies exist on the sounds of many other recent major wars, but there is a lack of sonic coverage of World War One. Here, Michael Bull investigates the sounds of war as experienced by those who participated in it by drawing upon a wide range of written testament of the time. These written "voices" are subjective, living memories expressed as fragmentary, often unreliable testimony but provide us with the only living sonic testimony of the time. The book filters these accounts through the technologies of "total war," from the trench whistle to the tank, from the newly developed airplane to the submarine. It asks: how did the wartime population experience these sounds and what were the physical and cognitive consequences of the implementation and use of these often invasive technologies of destruction, instruction and sometimes protection? In doing so, the the book re-evaluates just how we should understand the sounds of World War One and the sounds of war more generally.

The Sonic Experience of World War One

Shakespeare in Performance

Boika Sokolova and Kirilka Stavreva's second edition of the stage history of The Merchant of Venice interweaves into the chronology of James Bulman's first edition richly contextualised chapters on Max Reinhardt, Peter Zadek, and the first production of the play in Mandatory Palestine, directed by Leopold Jessner. The main focus of the book is on post-1990s productions across Europe and the USA. The Segue provides a broad survey of the interpretative shifts in performance from the 1930s to the second decade of the twenty-first century. Informative chapters on productions of the play by major contemporary directors present the work of Trevor Nunn, Robert Sturua, Edward Hall, Rupert Goold, Daniel Sullivan and Karin Coonrod's staging in the Venetian Ghetto. An extensive section engages with the cinematic history of the play, from silent-era adaptations, like Peter Paul Felner's Der Kaufmann von Venedig (The Jew of Mestri), through Pierre Billon's talkie Le Marchand de Venise; it includes a close analysis of Don Selwyn's Te Tangata Whai Rawa or Weniti (The Maori Merchant of Venice) and Michael Radford's William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. This broad picture of key theatrical and film transformations of The Merchant of Venice will prove essential to students of the history of performance, scholars interested in the general trends and local specificities of the play's staging and reception, as well as to theatre practitioners and all those who are prepared to look into the dark history of anti-Semitism and oppression, reflected in the stage fortunes of Shakespeare's play.

'Every day we are overwhelmed by advice on how to live better. Art Cure is an amazing antidote to the deluge of nonsense . . . Everyone should read this book.' XAND VAN TULLEKEN 'This rigorously researched, scientifically informed book is a revelation . . . It could not be more timely, nor make a stronger, more urgent case for placing the arts at the centre of our communities.' MELVYN BRAGG Many of us consider making and consuming art to be a hobby, or even a luxury. But what if arts engagement - from classical music to salsa, poetry to pop concerts, galleries to graffiti - was in fact one of our most powerful tools for unlocking health and happiness? What if art could help you live longer - and even save your life? In Art Cure, Professor Daisy Fancourt reveals the life-changing power of the arts: Songs support the architectural development of children's brains. Creative hobbies help our brains to stay resilient against dementia. Visual art and music act just like drugs to reduce depression, stress, and pain. Dance build new neural pathways for people with brain injuries. Going to live music events, museums, exhibitions, and the theatre decreases our risk of future loneliness and frailty. Engaging in the arts improves the functioning of every major organ system in the body. Art helps us not only to survive, but to thrive and flourish. Informed by the results of decades of scientific studies, Art Cure explains why the arts - alongside diet, sleep, exercise and social connections - are the forgotten fifth pillar of health, and gives you the tools to write your own 'arts prescription'. 'Fascinating, comprehensive, compelling, inspiring.' DR CHRISTOPHER BAILEY, WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION

Guido Adlers Aufsatz „Umfang, Methode und Ziel der Musikwissenschaft“ von 1885 ist das wohl einflussreichste Gründungsdokument der Universitätsdisziplin Musikwissenschaft. Aber auch vor und v.a. nach Adler haben Fachvertreterinnen und -vertreter immer neu darüber nachgedacht, was Musikwissenschaft sein kann und soll, in welchem Verhältnis sie zur musikalischen Produktion steht und wie sie sich zu gesellschaftlichen und politischen Anforderungen verhalten soll. So haben sie Wandlungen der Musikwissenschaft entweder selbst bewirkt oder reflektierend begleitet.

Dieser Band enthält über 50 solcher grundlegenden Konzeptionen der Musikwissenschaft und ihrer Teilgebiete von deutschsprachigen Autorinnen und Autoren seit 1777. Eine Edition (von Auszügen) des Textes wird dabei jeweils begleitet durch einen Kommentar, der den Text vor dem Hintergrund der Fach- und Zeitgeschichte erschließt. Auf diese Weise wird das Nachdenken der Musikwissenschaft über sich selbst nachvollziehbar. Erkennbar werden aber auch die verschiedenen Motivationen für inhaltliche oder methodische Veränderungen und die Auseinandersetzung mit den Fragen und Herausforderungen der jeweiligen Gegenwart.

Charlie Chaplin rose from the hard streets of Edwardian London to worldwide fame. But his work and outlook were always shaped by the world he came from, a place of cheap entertainments and the threat of the workhouse, radical politics and desperate poverty.Framed through the life of this iconic success story, acclaimed historian Jacqueline Riding reveals working-class London at the turn of the twentieth century. Breathing life into forgotten stories of mothers and sons, labourers and actors, vagrants and sex workers, of suffering, survival and success against the odds, this compelling social history paints a striking portrait of a vanished city.

Marvin Gaye sang like he lived in bed. He could croon, deliver a political commentary, and sing to you like you were the only other soul on this earth. And in 1976 he gave us a taste of his erotic imagination with I Want You. An album made in honor of his ongoing love affair with Janis (Jan) Hunter, Gaye delivered excess and restraint to sound his desire. I Want You is an album that stands apart from Gaye's earlier collaborations with Diana Ross, Tammi Terrell, Mary Wells, and Kim Weston. Though not technically a duet, Gaye forges another kind of collaboration with Jan, the result of which is an album that provides an intimate portrait of an artist in love and lust. Using interviews, visual art, poetry, criticism, and gossip, this book explores ecstasy, funk, sensation, and a host of other delicious and fleshy concerns that animate I Want You. It does not attempt a strict historicization of the album as that would do it a disservice. Instead, this book seeks fidelity to the album by centering Gaye's fantasies, his engagement with Ernie Barnes' painting Sugar Shack, and sonic expression of desire for Jan.
