Taylor & Francis Ltd Collaborative Playwriting Polyvocal Approaches
Book SynopsisIn Collaborative Playwriting, five collectively written plays apply polyvocal methods in which clash and frisson replace synthesis, a dialogic approach to collective writing that has never before been articulated or documented. Based on the EU Collective Plays Project, this collection of plays showcases each voice in dialogic tension and in relation to the other voices of the text, offering an entirely novel approach to new play development that challenges the single (and privileged) authorial voice. Castagno's case-study approach provides detailed commentary on each of the various experimental methods, exploring the plays' processes in detail. The book offers an evolutionary path forward in how to develop new work, thus encouraging and promoting the writing of collective, hybrid plays as having profound benefits for all playwrights.The ground breaking approaches to playmaking in Collaborative Playwriting will appeal to playwriTable of ContentsBiographies of Contributors Preface: Testimonial Acknowledgments Introduction written by Paul Castagno 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Opera Coaching
Book SynopsisOpera Coaching: Professional Techniques for the Répétiteur, Second Edition, is an update to the first practical guide for opera coaches when working with opera singers to help them meet the physical and vocal demands of a score in order to shape a performance. Opera coaching remains a mystery to many musicians. While an opera coach (or répétiteur) is principally tasked with ensuring singers sing the right notes and words, the coach's purview extends well beyond pitches and pronunciation. The opera coach must have a full understanding of human physiognomy and the human voice, as well as a knowledge of the many languages used in Western vocal music and over four centuries of opera repertoire all to recognize what must happen for success when a singer steps on stage.NEW to this second edition: New and updated chapters throughout, featuring new discussions on large ensembles, twenty-first-century demands, and more.

Taylor & Francis Language and Power on the Rhetorical Stage
Book SynopsisThrough a fusion of narrative and analysis, Language and Power on the Rhetorical Stage examines how theater can enact critical discourse analysis and how micro-instances of iniquitous language use have been politically and historically reiterated to oppress and deny equal rights to marginalized groups of people.Drawing from Aristophanesâ rhetorical plays as a template for rhetoric in action, the author poses the stage as a rhetorical site whereby we can observe, see, and feel 20th-century rhetorical theories of the body. Using critical discourse analysis and Judith Butlerâs theories of the performative body as a methodological and analytical lens, the book explores how a handful of American plays in the latter part of the 20th centuryâthe works of Tony Kushner, Suzan Lori-Parks, and John Cameron Mitchell, among othersâ use rhetoric in order to perform and challenge marginalizing language about groups that are not offered center stage in public and political spheres.Trade Review"Language and Power on the Rhetorical Stage, is part of the Routledge Studies in Rhetoric and Communication series and is a valuable resource for voice and speech practitioners who specialize in text, and for those who teach public speaking."Liz DeBetta, CEW+, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA"Language and Power on the Rhetorical Stage, is part of the Routledge Studies in Rhetoric and Communication series and is a valuable resource for voice and speech practitioners who specialize in text, and for those who teach public speaking."Liz DeBetta, CEW+, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USATable of Contents1 Performing Rhetorical Theory 12 “And My Life Blood Out They Suck”: Embodying Logos in Clouds 203 “I I I” Is for Ideology: Staging Metaphor in Torch Song and Angels in America 504 Acts of Silence and Silences’ Acts in Amiri Baraka’s Slave Ship and Suzan-Lori Parks’ Venus 775 Blonde Wigs and Butterflies: Queering the Intertextual Binaries in M.
