  Theatrical constraints - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theatrical constraints are various rules, either of taste or of law, that govern the production, staging, and content of stage plays in the theater.
Whether imposed externally, by virtue of monopoly franchises or censorship laws, or whether imposed voluntarily by actors, directors, or producers, these restraints have taxed the creative minds of the theatre to tackle the challenges of working with and around them.
In cinema, the Dogme 95 films form a body of work produced under voluntary constraints that severely limit both the choice of subjects and the choice of techniques used to bring them to the screen.

 Constraints
In law, time constraints are placed on certain actions and filings in the interest of speedy justice, and additionally to prevent the evasion of the ends of justice by waiting until a matter is moot.
Constraint programming is a programming paradigm in which a set of constraints that a solution must meet are specified rather than set of steps to obtain such a solution.
The constraint programming approach is to search for a state of the world in which a large number of constraints are satisfied at the same time.

 Verdict: You Be the Judge - CITY-TV re: Silence of the Lambs | Handout
No one ought to confuse the theatrical classification of any film with the entitlement of that film to be aired on television.
Theatrical films are as long as the producers, distributors and exhibitors wish them to be.
The shape and content of a theatrical film may vary until the director, producer(s), financiers and distributor have "locked" it, but television networks - if not stations - have always reserved for themselves the right to cut a theatrical film to conform to time and content requirements.

This present is the real time and space shared by the audience and the performers; only when the audience consciously perceives the present can they perceive the theatrical experience as relevant to their lives, and not as escapist fiction.
The Living Theater blazed the trail for alternative theatrical exploration, and their merging of politics and theater set the stage, either by example or for opposition, for avant-garde performance troupes to follow.
While the Living Theater began their theatrical exploration from the outer realm of politics and the community, Chaikin began his exploration from the inner experience of the actor and his relationship to the community.

 Between Performative and Performance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Theatrical dialogue has strong affinities with the discourses of a society: translating this dialogue, the translator is subject to double constraints, not only those of a given source text but also those of the pragmatics of the target milieu.
Cultures use theatrical moments and rituals as spaces in which ordinary social relations are suspended so that a culture may see itself, reflect upon its processes, and potentially alter, as well as affirm, its social structures.
Theatrical conventions of physical movement and the horizon of audience expectation differ radically in different places and at different times.

 Essay: Consider the relationship between the use of theatrical space and thematic development in Ibsen's A Doll's ...
Consider the relationship between the use of theatrical space and thematic development in Ibsen's A Doll's House The prominent theme in A Doll's House is that of male supremacy and the subsequent suppression of women's participation in society, particular to the nineteenth century and early twentieth century.
In conveying the prevalence of Nora's constraints and the restrictions placed upon her, Ibsen uses subtle visual nuances of space within the setting to compliment and emphasise the idea of imprisonment and limitation.
One of the most evident of these being the idea of the set on stage acting as a realist representation of a house, symbolic of the doll's house that Nora, the metaphorical doll, inhabits.

The system must be compatible with the time and budget constraints common to the not-for-profit world of the arts and still offer a flexible cue-based structure familiar to theatre practitioners.
Leveraging technology from the realm of industrial automation for application to stage effects in live theatrical performance has proven to be a successful strategy in negotiating the demanding time and funding constraints common to artistic endeavor.
A theatrical motion control system should offer similar capabilities to the lighting consoles that have served live theatrical performance for almost 30 years--at a minimum, the ability to save and replay cues at the touch of a button.

Although Denise has two brothers with her in the novel, it is only Pepe that remains in focus throughout the book, and I chose to involve him considerably in the play.
In his hands, this classic of 19th century French Literature is transformed into a modern theatrical parable of globalisation and corporatisation and their impact on individuals and society.
Justin is developing a style for the piece that offers a pastische of 19th century epigrammatic dialogue and romantic melodrama - combined with a 20th century absurdist/expressionistic dramaturgy, and refined with a sensibility that is international in outlook but Australian in its irreverent flavour.

 Reconstruction 6.2 (Spring 2006)
From an advaitan perspective, however, witnessing consciousness antedates discourse and narrative constructs.[6] Gallimard, as theatrical witness, observes with the audience the dramatization of his thought-stream: his love for Song—however delusional—and his desire for sympathy from the audience as judge and jury.
Performer and spectator may taste this theatrical void (rasa) for only a fleeting succession of subliminal moments, but to deny the intersubjective space of the witnessing observer as a real presence would be in effect to contradict the demystification of unitary, fixed identities.
While the dramatic irony allows the audience to see through the sham, and even to sense the (self-reflexive) void in thought of Gallimard’s subtext, Gallimard himself is always at risk as he floats in and out of his various roles, intermittently sharing with the audience a liminal presence/absence of the self as consciousness.

The mini-series does stick to the book more closely than this new movie, but with the time constraints of a two-hour film, the movie-makers had to make some decisions about Austen´s story.
Some reviewers have complained about the changes in scenery with regard to certain plot points, the casting, the costuming, etc., but, unfortunately, these reviewers have made these complaints without any consideration to the movie-makers´ well-considered reasons for their decisions.
The only issue I have with this adaptation of such a timeless and beloved story is that it isn´t longer.

 The Literary Explorer - Drama, the Literature of Plays
A play is a dramatic composition in verse or prose that has been written for theatrical performance and tells a story of conflict and emotion using action and dialogue.
It is an oral and visual creation whose written form is first a preparation (the script), secondly an aid to performance (the actors' lines), and lastly a printed text for critical and educational scrutiny.
Like a short story, a play has time constraints that require continuous action moving into new situations and relationships.

BTW, the voice-overs had to be added to the original release because of a number of careless edits that made the storyline hard to follow.

In the first part, the author deals with theatrical discourse proper and distinguishes between its two main modes: dialogue and stage directions.
Both modes address the problem of the specificity of theatrical discourse in contrast to other types of discourse, both literary and non-literary.
The second part, with its focus on space and discourse, examines the context of dramatic discourse and hence the various constraints - spatial, topographical, or political - that shape the meaning of utterances on stage.
