Theatre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The richness of live theatre today is such that its practitioners can borrow from all of these elements and more, and present something that is a multi-disciplinary melange of pretty much everything. Theatre of the Absurd: Term coined by Martin Esslin, theatre in which characters are engaged in an absurd, that is meaningless, activity or life. Theatre is that branch of the performing arts concerned with acting out stories in front of an audience using combinations of speech, gesture, music, dance, sound and spectacle — indeed any one or more elements of the other performing arts. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Theatre   (1251 words)

Al-Ahram Weekly Rebel with a cause The contemporary infatuation amongst a large section of the new generation of theatre practitioners with "popular" forms of drama, and their immersion into a hazy and, for the most part, self-indulgent and innocuous quest for "authenticity" has acquired a powerful momentum since the late eighties. No theatre director is advised to attempt directing any of his plays before reading the Umiyyat, for it is an essential key to a vital and radical interpretation of his work. There is a typical and ever-recurrent Egyptian phenomenon which consists of trivialising the achievements of its dead artists, writers, playwrights, etc. This highly specialised industry systematically aims at reducing outspoken and daring artists to acceptable and more palatable products to be consumed without much thought. weekly.ahram.org.eg /1998/400/cu5.htm   (1941 words)

Scottish Arts Council - Archive - Theme: Physical theatre So wide is the range of styles and influences clustered under the term, the usefulness of a definition may be challenged.  In deed, a concept embraced by physical theatre is that theatre can be produced without the confines of definition of the artform.   Theatre practitioners involved in physical styles often positively reject the term. Some attempt to describe physical theatre as ‘about the reinvigoration of theatre practice’.  Text is one component of the work, but the importance of non-text elements – visual as well as physical - are weighty.  Not just decorative or complementary, they shape the content as well as the context of the piece. The idea is to relate the body to the theatrical space around them.  Traditional theatre appeals on a mental and often emotional level.  Physical theatre, however, appeals on a physical and emotional level.  It can aim to provide a more immediate and encompassing theatre experience. www.scottisharts.org.uk /1/artsinscotland/drama/features/archive/themephysicaltheatre.aspx   (340 words)

Cloud Gate Dance Theatre - Moon Water - Review The programme states the choreographer’s intend to create a work that is a poetic rendering of the Taoist philosophy as the title is reminiscent of both Buddhist proverbs and the state t'ai chi practitioners seeks to attain. Cloud Gate had managed to mesmerise the audience in both silence and to the strains of Bach, but the onlookers got decidedly fidgety in the wake of water being thrown about the stage. A particularly odd experience of lemon-grass and chilli rice pudding had put me off fusion some time ago, but Cloud Gate are an example to all would-be cultural interminglers as to how to do it with style, panache, ingenuity and imagination. www.criticaldance.com /reviews/2002/cloud-gate_020630.html   (416 words)

Pali Canon Practitioners outside the Theravada school refer to Pali Canon suttas as agamas or nikaya s. These schools canons typically contain an incomplete selection of scriptures from the Pali canon, often with minor additions or alterations, and are usually recorded in Sanskrit, Chinese, or another language other than Pali. While some of the major sections of the Canon (such as the Digha Nikaya and Majjhima Nikaya) have been given more recent translations, the PTS versions remain the only English translations of many of the less accessible texts. www.barndinnertheatre.com /pali-canon.html   (416 words)

We deplore the violent events that have very regrettably led to the cancelling of the remaining performances of Behzti (Dishonour) by Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti at Birmingham Repertory theatre on grounds of the safety of the audience, performers and staff of the theatre. www.guardian.co.uk /letters/story/0,3604,1378817,00.html   (416 words)

Scottish Theatre Year 1999 The idea of an independent body that would commission theatre practitioners to form a national theatre company on a project by project basis is one that recognises that the Scottish National Theatre already exists in spirit if not in name. Perhaps this kind of wastage will be stopped if the Federation of Scottish Theatres has any success with its proposals for a Scottish national theatre, the first such scheme for a long time to reflect artistic rather than nationalistic aspirations and one that could well be taken seriously by the Scottish Parliament. With typical modesty, Clyde Unity Theatre quietly called it a day a couple of months ago, its central operators, John and Mari Binnie, deciding they were better off pursuing their various outside writing and directing commitments. www.mark-fisher.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk /Theatre_Year99.html   (292 words)
