Considering the idea that there is a game between the sensory substances, from an act in concert among different expressed plans, we intend to describe, in the expressed plans and in the purport of the drama enunciation, how the music is organized and how it contributes to the construction of the scenic narrative and speech. The corpus of this research is a video recording of a scene chosen among various performances of a theater group from São Paulo, Circo Grafitti. Their work is characterized by musical comedy plays, that have not been performed yet, and they are produced based on a collaborative research, composition or adaptation of scripts and songs. The theoretical framework of the analysis of this dissertation is the French Semiotics by Greimas, because it considers the purport plan of the texts in several planes of expression as well as the syncretization in terms of expression, also it understands the script as an organization which carries the effects of meaning. / A presente dissertação aborda questões referentes à sincretização da linguagem musical à cena teatral. A partir da ideia de jogo entre as substâncias sensoriais, do contracenar entre diversos planos da expressão, visamos a descrever, nos planos da expressão e do conteúdo da enunciação teatral, de que modo a música se organiza e contribui para a construção da narrativa e do discurso cênicos. O corpus desta pesquisa constitui-se da gravação em vídeo de uma cena escolhida dentre vários espetáculos do grupo teatral paulistano Circo Grafitti. O trabalho da companhia se caracteriza por montagens que cultivam o gênero da comédia musical, sempre inéditas, em processo colaborativo no trabalho de pesquisa, composição ou adaptação de textos e canções. O quadro teórico utilizado para proceder à análise é o da Semiótica de linha francesa, greimasiana, por esta trabalhar com o plano de conteúdo dos textos em diversos planos de expressão e com a sincretização no plano da expressão, bem como por entender o texto como uma organização que produz efeitos de sentido.

My first semester pursuing my MFA in Voice and Speech Pedagogy I vocal-coached an openly gay student playing a straight character who would mask his sexual identity in such a manner that his performance became stiff and uninteresting. Rather than using his personal identity as an asset in the pursuit of a successful performance, his chosen vocal tactics removed any sense of theatricality from his performance. I confronted the student and suggested such extreme vocal suppression diminished the quality of his overall performance. He replied, "So you want me to get the gay out."His use of the phrase, "get the gay out" to describe a fuller adaptation of his sexual identity to suit the character fascinated me and led to me to create a performance seminar course that used open acknowledgment of Camp performance styles as a valuable way to prepare students, gay or straight, for careers on the stage and screen. This thesis is a record of the course taught in the spring of 2007; CAMP: RIDICULOUS THEATRE AS SERIOUS DRAMA.

This dissertation examines selected love lyrics composed during the 1930s by Cole Porter, whose witty and urbane music epitomized the Golden era of American light music. These lyrics present an interesting paradox – a man who longed for his music to be accepted by the American public, yet remained indifferent to the social mores of the time. Porter offered trenchant social commentary aimed at a society restricted by social taboos and cultural conventions. The argument develops systematically through a chronological and contextual study of the influences of people and events on a man and his music. The prosodic intonation and imagistic texture of the lyrics demonstrate an intimate correlation between personality and composition which, in turn, is supported by the biographical content. / English / M.A. (English)
