O objetivo desta dissertação é examinar as articulações entre o teatro e as mídias digitais no âmbito dos espetáculos Isadora.Orb- A Metáfora Final (2005), do brasileiro nascido nos Estados Unidos Ricky Seabra, e A Un Certo Punto Della Vita Dovresti Impegnarti Seriamente I Smetteredi Fare Il Ridicolo (2007), do argentino radicado na Espanha Rodrigo García. Considerando o espetáculo teatral como um espaço intermedial por excelência, a análise das obras permitiu a identificação dos procedimentos de composição da cena onde se destacam os princípios operatórios aqui denominados como montagem revelada e acontecimento teatral como experimento. / This thesis aims at examining the manner in which the theatre articulates with the digital media in two plays, Isadora.Orb - A Metáfora Final (2005) - by the Brazilian director Ricky Seabra, born in the United States - and A Un Certo Punto Della Vita Dovresti Impegnarti Seriamente e Smettere di Fare Il Ridicolo (2007) - by the Argentinian director Rodrigo García, who has established himself in Spain. By considering that the theatrical spectacle is the intermedial space par excellence, the analysis of these works allows the identification of the procedures employed for the composition of the scene. Among the most important of these, two procedural principles stand out, which are designated here as the revealed montage and the theatre event as an experiment.

Master of Music / Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance / Major Professor Not Listed / This report is extended program notes that focus on romantic selections from four composers, prepared for a graduate vocal recital, completed in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Master of Music degree. The recital was held April 25, 2017 at seven-thirty in the evening at Kirmser Hall on the campus of Kansas State University. The selections for this recital were chosen for their portrayal of the theme romance. The four composers selected for this report are Fernando Obradors, Franz Schubert, Ricky Ian Gordon and Alessandro Scarlatti. Each chapter will include biographical information on each composer, a textual analysis, as well as stylistic and technical considerations one must consider for the songs researched in this document. Romance is a topic that has often inspired composers and writers. This paper focuses on “romance” as a topic, which has been the focus of music for centuries. In vocal literature, a theme of romance can create an immediate connection to the listener as it is a topic that all genders can relate to.

Does the individual really matter in the post-modern world, brimming with countless signs and signifiers? My main objective in this writing is to demonstrate how this happens in Verhoeven's films, exploring his central themes and subtext and doing what science fiction does: hold a mirror up to the contemporary world and critique it, asking whether our species' current trajectory is beneficial or hazardous.; Dutch director Paul Verhoeven is a polarizing figure. Although many of his American made films have received considerable praise and financial success, he has been lambasted on countless occasions for his gratuitous use of sex, violence, and contentious symbolism--1995s Showgirls was overwhelmingly dubbed the worst film of all time and 1997s Starship Troopers earned him a reputation as a fascist. Regardless of the controversy surrounding him, his science fiction films are a move beyond the conventions of the big blockbuster science fiction films of the 1980s (E.T. and the Star Wars trilogy are prime examples), revealing a deeper exploration of both sociopolitical issues and the human condition. Much like the novels of Philip K. Dick (and Verhoeven's 1990 film Total Recall--an adaptation of a Dick short story), Verhoeven's science fiction work explores worlds where paranoia is a constant and determining whether an individual maintains any liberty is regularly questionable. In this thesis I am basically exploring issues regarding power. Although I barely bring up the term power in it, I feel it is central. Power is an ambiguous term; are we discussing physical power, state power, objective power, subjective power, or any of the other possible manifestations of the word? The original Anglo-French version of power means "to be able," asking whether it is possible for one to do something. In relation to Verhoeven's science fiction work each demonstrates the limitations placed upon an individual's autonomy, asking are the protagonists capable of independent agency or rather just environmental constructs reflecting the myriad influences surrounding them.
