A pesquisa desenvolvida analisa alguns modelos de grupalidades que fizeram parte da trajetória do teatro de grupo no Acre, bem como as características dos grupos que ainda encontram-se atuantes no Estado, em especial os que fazem parte dos principais pólos urbanos, a saber, Vale do Acre, Vale do Juruá e Vale do Purus, tentando entender, de forma mais ampla, como está atualmente estruturada a prática de criação de cenas teatrais. Além disso, visa, especialmente, entender de que maneira o discurso sobre identidades regionais vem sendo utilizado como componente de criação em espetáculos criados no Estado. Para tanto, fez-se uma análise de questionário, por meio da análise do conteúdo, que foi aplicado em grupos vinculados à Federação de Teatro Amador do Acre - FETAC e, também, uma análise particular de um espetáculo teatral com estilo temático regional, a saber, o espetáculo ?Manuela e o Boto?. Assim, as perguntas a serem respondidas são: De que forma e com que características os grupos de teatro se estruturaram, e estão estruturados atualmente, no Estado do Acre? Existe uma relação dos espetáculos apresentados hoje com o regionalismo acriano ou com os mitos fundadores do Acre? Como essa relação está estabelecida em parte dos elementos da cena espetacular? Pensar a produção artística local, sobretudo no que diz respeito ao teatro e aos grupos de teatro do Acre, é um desafio, mas ao mesmo tempo uma necessidade. Esse trabalho nasce da preocupação de entender essa produção artística, sobretudo no que tange ao teatro de grupo e as composições e contradições que vez por outra aparecem manifestas no discurso e prática dos sujeitos fazedores de teatro da região / Abstract: The present dissertation analyses the formation and characterisation of the instances of theatre groups organised in the state of Acre, as well as a panorama of the circumstances of production of the theatrical spectacles by these groups, with a more specific ambit concerning the productions of the regional thematic style, integrating some of the spectacles held by part of such groups.The inquiry carried out analyses some models of groupness which made up part of the trajectory of the group theatre in Acre, as well as characteristics of groups that still find themselves active in the state, in particular those which comprised the main urban hubs - namely Vale do Acre, Vale do Juruá and Vale do Purus, aiming at understanding, in a more encompassing fashion, where exactly the exercise of the creation of theatrical scenes presently is at. Moreover, it particularly strives for understanding in exactly which way the discourse about regional identities has been put to use as a component of creation in spectacles created in the state. In order to achieve that, a survey analysis was conducted - through the analysis of its content, which was applied to groups pertaining to the Federação de Teatro Amador do Acre [Amateur Theatre Federation of Acre] and, furthermore, an analyses of a theatre spectacle in particular, with a regional thematic style - namely 'Manuela e o Boto'. Therefore, the questions to be answered are: in which way and with what characteristics were the theatre groups constituted, and in which way are they currently constituted in the state of Acre? Is there a relation between the spectacles presented nowadays and the Acraniano regionalism or the founding myths of Acre? How exactly is this relation stablished in part of the elements of the spectacular scene? Pondering over the local artistic production, especially regarding what concerns theatre and theatre groups in Acre, is a challenge, but at the same time a necessity. This work is born from the effort to understand this artistic production, especially concerning group theatre and the compositions and contradictions which sometimes arise manifest in the discourse and praxis of the individuals who shape the theatre in the region / Mestrado / Artes Cenicas / Mestre em Artes

The purpose of this project was to observe and analyze Takis Muzenidis' methods of casting, rehearsal procedures and philosophy of directing as illustrated.in his production of The Libation Bearers at North Texas State University. Chapter I is an introduction to Muzenidis' background, qualifications and purpose for being at North Texas. Chapter II is a subjective description of Muzenidis' methods of casting, style of directing and relationship with the cast and crew. Chapter III discusses problems that occurred in the production. Chapter IV examines the production results through an audience analysis and interviews with the cast and crew. Chapter V is a summary of the thesis with a personal evaluation of the production and the director.

Without consciousness we become victim instead of actors- even if it is only a question of acting victims. And in the make belief of our lives, the audience is self (Fugard in Frank 2004: 53). The primary concern of this study is the comparison of video interpretations of Athol Fugard with their adaptations as visual texts. It has been argued that 'the playwright's creative labour ends with the completion of the script' (Kidnie 2009: 15).Therefore, amongst other issues this dissertation will explore the politics of production at play during adaptation from printed version to screenplays. My assumption is that a comparison between the printed texts and video versions will add to the understanding of the effectiveness of Fugard's dramatic techniques and comprehension of literary texts; images are easy to decipher by inexperienced interpreters if guided. For the purpose of my presentation I adapt the reader response theoretical position of Stanley Fish based on a comparison that will be explored in terms of my own response to both the written text and visual texts, and in line with other responsed to the play. / English Studies / M.A.

Thesis (MDram)--Stellenbosch University, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this thesis the author investigates aspects of the use of improvisation and improvisational methods, techniques and exercises by modem practitioners. The study commences with a look at the beginnings of modem improvisation in the nineteenth century, when improvisation was used only tentatively by performers as a preproduction aid to the exploration of character and personal response. In more recent times the process has become one of collaboration and research; as a means of selfdiscovery, as a means of text creation and as a vehicle for finding a 'voice' for the silent majority within a particular community or society. This study also traces the use of improvisation in South Africa where the improvisational process has been incorporated into democratic and collaborative forms like workshop theatre and workers' theatre, and serves as a useful method of political investigation and conscientisation. The study will also briefly touch what on is now termed 'theatre-fordevelopment', since its practitioners make extensive use of improvisational techniques, and its techniques are allied to those of workers' and workshop theatre. The final chapter provides an application of the theories discussed in the bulk of the study in a brief discussion of the author's own attempts at utilising improvisation as a directing and scriptwriting tool in a student production. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie tesis ondersoek die outeur die gebruik van improvisasie en die verskillende metodes, tegnieke en praktiese toepassings daarvan deur moderne praktisyns. Die tesis begin deur te kyk na die oorsprong van moderne improvisasie in die 1ge eeu toe imporvisasie slegs tentatief deur akteurs gebruik is om vóór die produksiefase as 'n hulpmiddel te dien om 'n karakter en persoonlike reaksies te ondersoek. Die proses het onlangs tot een van samewerking en navorsing verander; as 'n methode tot selfontdekking, 'n hulpmiddel by teks-skepping en as 'n medium om 'n "stem te vind" vir die 'stille meerderheid' binne 'n gegewe gemeenskap of samelewing. Hierdie studie ondersoek ook die gebruik van improvisasie in Suid Afrika waar die improvisasieproses in demokratiese en spanwerk vorme soos bv. werkswinkelteater en werkersteater geïnkorporeer is, waar hulle as uiters nuttige vorme van politieke ondersoek en -bewusmaking dien. Die studie raak ook vlugtig aan 'teater-virontwikkeling', aangesien die praktisyns daarvan grootliks gebruik maak van improvisasie-tegnieke en die tegnieke wat hulle gebruik redelike ooreenstem met dié van werkswinkelteater en werkersteater. Die finale hoofstuk verskaf 'n toepassing van die verskeie teorieë wat in die hoofgedeelte van die tesis bespreek word, in 'n kort bespreking van die outeur se eie pogings om improvisasie as 'n regie- en teksskeppingsinstrument in 'n studenteproduksie, te gebruik.

The purpose of this study was to collect and annotate the musical dramas for children of elementary school age published since 1972. Musical dramas selected were limited to those having a story line rather than just a narrator and chorus, having dialogue interaction between the characters, containing mostly original music, and written for grades kindergarten through six. This document is intended as a resource for elementary school teachers and church workers who are searching for appropriate material for performance or study. Annotations of 210 musicals for children, sacred and secular, are the main emphasis of the study. Pertinent information in each annotation includes: basic story line, voice span (extreme range of the music), tessitura (range where most of the tones lie), recommended grade level, duration, type of accompaniment available, 1985 prices and required purchase for performance rights, staging requirements, number and characteristics of the songs, and personnel needed. Musicals were obtained through publishers, music retailers, and leasing firms. A part of the study is a history of musical drama in America and in America's schools. Musical drama has been a part of elementary education in America almost from its inception. The first musical drama in America was presented in Charleston, S.C., in 1735, and the first school music drama was presented in New York in 1853. Because children's musicals involve the child voice, information is contained in the study concerning practices which might cause vocal damage. Current research and theory about children's voice range is reported. Opinion is divided about proper natural voice range for children. Each viewpoint has supporting research. The study shows that an abundance of musical drama material is available for children of elementary age, especially the upper grades. A sourcebook for directors and producers of children's musicals has been included to assist those who have a limited knowledge of stage lighting, choreography, make-up, sound systems, sets, and costumes. Suggestions are provided for choosing a musical, holding auditions, scheduling rehearsals, and involving parents and community. 1973 was selected as the beginning date for inclusion of musicals in the study because of the resurgence of writing and publishing elementary school musicals and because of the growing number of musicals written for church children's groups. Recommended areas for further research concerning children's musicals include the present usage figures for published musicals, an annotated list of musicals using only narrators and choir, and usage figures of musicals by geographic areas.
