Taylor & Francis Composing Audiovisually
Book SynopsisWhat does the Coen Brothersâ Barton Fink have in common with Norman McLarenâs Synchromy? Or with audiovisual sculpture? Or contemporary music video? Composing Audiovisually interrogates how the relationship between the audiovisual media in these works, and our interaction with them, might allow us to develop mechanisms for talking about and understanding our experience of audiovisual media across a broad range of modes. Presenting close readings of audiovisual artefacts, conversations with artists, consideration of contemporary pedagogy and a detailed conceptual and theoretical framework that considers the nature of contemporary audiovisual experience, this book attempts to address gaps in our discourse on audiovisual modes, and offer possible starting points for future, genuinely transdisciplinary thinking in the field.Trade ReviewSituating practice firmly at the heart of her discourse, Dr. Harris unpacks the creative process from a composer's perspective, revealing valuable insights which challenging traditional media hierarchies and elaborate nuanced understandings of audiovisual composition. This text will be of importance to students, fellow composers and auiodvisuolologists, providing a desperately needed injection of new perspectives into the topic.Andrew Knight-Hill, University of Greenwich, London.Harris courageously crafts transdisciplinary inroads into difficult territory, providing teachers, composers, students and theorists multi-perspectival approaches to a broad range of audiovisual practice and identifying and challenging limits of current language and conceptions.Bret Battey, De Montfort University, LeicesterTable of ContentsIntroductionSection 1 - Thinking AudiovisuallyThinking AudiovisuallyChapter One - Discourse on Audiovisual ExperienceChapter Two - Analysis of questionnaire resultsChapter Three - Defining Transperceptual AttentionCoda - some terminology for Transperceptual AttentionSection 2 - Composing AudiovisuallyComposing AudiovisuallyChapter Four - the elements of audiovisual compositionChapter Five - Teaching AudiovisuallySection 3 - Analysing AudiovisuallyAnalysing AudiovisuallyCase Study 1 - For TashiCase Study 2 - CinechineCase Study 3 - pebblesCase Study 4 - Hitchcock EtudesCase Study 5 - Close to be close to meCase Study 6 - A Love StoryCase Study 7 - Open AirReflectionsEpilogue - Final Reflections

Taylor & Francis Ltd AuralOral Dramaturgies
Book SynopsisAural/Oral Dramaturgies: Theatre in the Digital Age focuses on the aural turn' in contemporary theatre-making, examining a number of seemingly disparate trends that foreground speech and sound -- post-verbatim' theatre, ''amplified storytelling'' (works using microphones and headphones), and gig theatre' that incorporates live music performance. Its main argument is that the dramaturgical underpinnings of these works contribute to an understanding of theatre as an extra-literary activity, greater than the centrality of the script that traditionally dominated many historical discussions. This quality is usually expressed in terms of the corporeality in dance and physical theatre, but the aural/oral turn gives an alternative viewpoint on the interplay between text and performance. The book''s case studies draw on the ways in which a range of theatre companies engage with the dramaturgy of speech and sound in their work. It is further accompaniedTrade Review"How does an audience hear a live performance? What are the relationships between speech and sound, polyphony and counterpoint, that generate meaning for a viewer/listener at the theatre? How is theatre as a form situated within the oral and aural domains? In this book, Radosavljević radicalises and reclaims sound as central to the act of theatre-making, and how its aural contours and shapes have changed and are changing new work in amplified storytelling and gig theatre and post-verbatim theatre. This book is thorough, deeply considered, provocative and alters with whispery and sometimes loud insistence on the material, technological and spiritual dimensions of speech and sound in performance. Animated and situated within interstitial cultural and linguistic spaces, Radosavljevic asks their reader to take into account the effect and affect of text and non-text-centered works and artists that are creating pieces that demand acts of replay, rewind and multi-tracking, taking audiences on journeys through spatial and temporal orientation and disorientations in order to achieve new dramaturgical forms. This book is a complex, symphonic work that demands multiple re-readings!" — Caridad Svich, Rutgers University-New Brunswick, USA"Duška Radosavljević’s book gives a critically and creatively rigorous and meta-sensitive analysis of dramaturgical intersections between Post-Verbatim, Amplified Storytelling and Gig Theatre. Operating in-between the disciplinary borderlines – and yet firmly rooted in theatre and performance studies – the book offers a needed discussion on dramaturgical innovations within contemporary sound and speech-based performance-making and its dialogue with digital developments. Radosavljević’s explorations are enriched by her international and multilingual outlook and sensitivity evident in compelling examples, her meta-criticality towards language, and aurality and orality as concepts. The book makes an exemplary case – additionally spelt out in its final section – for interdisciplinarity within theatre research methodology and the ethics of dialogue between oneself, research, artists, and the broad theatre community. It is an academic gift for scholars of all levels. It will also be an invaluable addition to reading lists in modules exploring dramaturgy, digital theatre, contemporary performance making, and research methodologies." — Dr Kasia Lech, Canterbury Christ Church University, UKTable of Contents1.
