Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Applied Theatre Voice
Book SynopsisApplied Theatre: Voice is a unique exploration of the conceptual and practical understandings of voice in relation to applied theatre. Voice is fundamental to much practice that takes place in applied and community performance and is regularly the go-to word to articulate community involvement and engagement, be that in terms of creativity, or social, cultural and political activity. Yet often in these references, the preciseness of what we mean by voice is lost. Is voice in applied theatre simply another word for representation, as in finding' or giving' voice? Or is voice also referring to the material, sonic and embodied phenomenon of human communication, when we consider the relationship between voice, performance and social justice? In this book, voice in applied theatre is critically examined in a range of practical case studies, discussing both its symbolic and material function, demonstrating the necessity of considering both when working in app

Bloomsbury Academic Affect Ethnography
Book SynopsisPlaying with the relation between truth and representation in the stories we tell as ethnographers and theater makers, this book contributes to the current debates around experimental research methodologies and ethnographically grounded theatrical forms. It departs from other studies by proposing a unique and accessible methodology that brings together theatrical devising practices and anthropology. Through its theoretical exploration and performative script, the book bridges the relation between ethnographic writing and performativity, and simultaneously troubles conventional narrative practices in theater and anthropology. The practice described in the book, Affect Theater, also emphasizes embodied and affective approaches to empirical research and defines a process for rendering this type of material into imaginative academic writing, collaborative performance, and other inventive forms, applicable across a range of academic disciplines.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Korean Pansori as Voice Theatre
Book SynopsisThis book introduces readers to the historical, performative, and cultural context of pansori, a traditional Korean oral story-singing art. Written by a scholar-practitioner of the form, this study is structured in three parts and begins by introducing readers to the technical, aesthetic, and theoretical components of pansori, as well as the synthesis of vocal and percussive elements that stage the narrative. It moves on to reflect on the historical contexts of pansori, alongside Korea's transformation from Joseon monarchy to modern statehood. It argues that with colonial annexation came modernist influences that Korean dramatists and audiences used to create new genres of performance, using the common thread of pansori. The book's third part explores the interplay of preservation and innovation, beginning in the post-war period and continuing with developments in the 20th and 21st centuries that coincide with Korea's imprint on cultural globalization. Along with Korea's growth as a

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Tragedy as a Travelling Form
Book SynopsisCovering a broad historical spectrum from Greek Antiquity to the 21st century, this open access book asks how tragedy's formal features have impacted its travels, and how these travels have shaped its forms.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) John Gielgud Matinee Idol to Movie Star Biography and Autobiography
Book SynopsisJonathan Croall is the author of Buzz Buzz: Playwrights, Actors and Directors at the National Theatre. He worked as features editor on the Times Educational Supplement and as editor of Arts Express magazine, the National Theatre's magazine StageWrite, and programmes at the Old Vic.Trade ReviewHis public loved him, and so does the author of this thoroughly readable biography. * New Statesman *John Gielgud's life makes such a good story...the book is a significant reminder of a silken-voiced, altogether singular talent. * Sunday Times *An authoritative, nicely balanced account of both Gielgud's public and private lives... Croall also emphasizes what an important, modernizing figure he was as a director... This is by no means an uncritical biography of Gielgud - Croall illustrates his character defects of snobbery, tactlessness...and impatience...but overall he comes across as an attractively modest man with a mischievous sense of humour, possessing an evergreen enthusiasm for and deep understanding of theatre. This book does full justice to a protean performer who bestrode the stage like a Colossus. * Exeunt *The work of a stage actor, however great, is writ on water...It was for his theatrical work that Kenneth Tynan (who, mind you, preferred Laurence Olivier) could refer to [Gielgud] as 'not an actor, but the actor.'...So, whatever the limitations of merely reading about a magnificent actor, it is gratifying to have such a well-researched and fluently written, committed yet not adulatory biography...[Gielgud] emerges as a witty, charming, conversationally apt human being. (refers to the previously released edition) * New York Times *(A) tremendous biography...the result of a great deal more material which had become available to the biographer -- mostly letters, but also people more willing to speak openly. (The contents) illuminate not only the man himself but also the great changes that have taken place in social and legal attitudes in the past half-century. This is a splendid book, impressively researched and extremely readable. * Harriet Devine's Blog *Elegantly written...scented with the aroma of fresh revelations...riveting. * Independent *As entertaining and full of variety as the subject himself * Oldie Magazine *I really enjoyed reading it. In fact it's marvellous - and best of all FACTUAL! That's something of a rarity these days. * Peter Hall *I am so grateful for the close scrutiny you give the performances: their context, their aspiration, their achievement. It's compelling, grown-up analysis. * Simon Callow *If what you want from the genre of showbiz biography is sleaze or sycophancy, you'll have to look elsewhere. What is on offer here is something else. Croall manages the difficult balancing act of maintaining a discreet distance from his subject while at the same time seeming to have immersed himself in that subject's complexity. * Inside Story *An unexpectedly enjoyable book to read... I found Croall a good navigator through the curious narrative of Gielgud's life...Croall manages to round out his portrait with nuance, new information and a gusto that drives the narrative... the larger story of a man with a mercurial talent, utterly committed to his craft, alive to instinct and nuance with a magical quota of talent, is well told. * The New Zealand Herald *By the end of Jonathan Croall's massive homage to Sir John Gielgud, the great actor seems like an old friend... This meticulously researched book can be read as more than merely a biography of a single man, since it is wide-ranging enough to place his life in the context of theatre across the 20th century. Readers are therefore able to learn much about trends in drama throughout Gielgud's lifetime. Sir John Gielgud was a man of the theatre the like of whom we may never see again. Therefore, the ever-readable Jonathan Croall should be warmly congratulated on researching and writing what must surely be the definitive biography. * British Theatre Guide *A glorious tome. * Ronald Harwood *Jonathan Croall's book gives an authentic flavour of the real Gielgud. * Richard Eyre *Both the career and the man are brought to brilliant life...Jonathan Croall stakes a serious claim to be the most notable theatrical biographer of the day. -- Brian McFarlane * Australian Book Review *John Gielgud was all light and humour, the most mercurial of men, and the most poetic of actors: Jonathan Croall is perfectly tuned in to every one of his qualities. * David Hare *A huge new overview that will surely become definitive. * New Statesman *A magnificent book – a model of meticulous research and sympathy with the subject. * Derek Parker, writer and broadcaster *

Flom even covers aspects of the process that are often overlooked—how to read audition announcements properly, the best head-shot styles and résumé layouts—and includes an updated list of repertoire styles and genres. Finally, Flom provides sound advice about how to negotiate a job offer. In other words, this one little volume is an invaluable resource for anyone who plans to audition for a musical theater production—whether in high school, college, or professional theater.
