A Contemporary Application of Boris Goldovsky’s Method for Training the Operatic Singer-actor: a Model for Today’s University Opera Workshop Instructor

Glidden, Jennifer 12 1900 (has links)
Throughout the twentieth century, Boris Goldovsky (1908-2001) played a significant role in training the operatic singer-actor. One of his most significant contributions was integrating music and drama. He taught his students how to develop a character, how to find dramatic clues in the music, and to become expressive artists free from monotonous operatic gestures and posturing. As author of the first textbook for training the operatic singer-actor, his curriculum was developed from experience, acting traditions, and mentor-student relationships. A new forum, Opera Workshop, allowed him to experiment and test his methods. Although Goldovsky is known to some scholars as the “Father of Training the Operatic Singer-Actor,” his presence in modern day training material is almost non-existent. How can we understand the needs of educating today’s operatic singer-actor without knowing the very foundation upon which it was built? This paper applies Goldovsky’s method of training to a staging and performance of Act II scene I from Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel. Providing this modern application of his training will demonstrate the relevance of his contributions for educators in a contemporary university setting. My findings suggest that Goldovsky’s approach and philosophy to training the young singer-actor provides practical and valuable knowledge that is still viable for today’s university singer-actor educator.

O aikido e o corpo do ator contemporâneo / Aikido and Contemporary Actor´s Body

Batista, Renata Mazzei 11 May 2009 (has links)
A presente pesquisa tem como objeto de estudo as técnicas, princípios e filosofia da Arte Marcial Japonesa chamada Aikido, em diálogo com princípios e métodos desenvolvidos por Meyerhold, Rudolf Laban, Eugênio Barba e Grotowski, objetivando criar procedimentos que auxiliem a preparação corporal do ator e sua criação artística. Busca-se, portanto, o corpo cênico, seus movimentos e sua continua (re) organização. Este trabalho foi elaborado a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica e de freqüência em treinos de Aikido, de onde foram extraídos elementos importantes para o estabelecimento dos alicerces que permitiram a conexão entre esta arte marcial e o trabalho do ator. A parte prática constou de exercícios que tiveram como objetivo a busca de formas de transposição do corpo-cotidiano para o corpo em Estado Cênico. Nesses treinamentos foram desenvolvidos conceitos e práticas visando o auto-conhecimento corporal, a preparação para a cena e a criação de ações físicas extracotidianas ancoradas na prática do Aikido. Como principal resultado prático preparou-se a montagem teatral Separação de Corpos, monólogo composto de ações físicas criadas a partir das técnicas pesquisadas durante o treinamento e que tem como personagem uma mulher que, abandonada pela pessoa amada, busca compreender sua situação e superar a perda, recomeçando a vida de outra forma. A presença de uma ferramenta como o Aikido configurou-se como de grande utilidade para o trabalho do ator em cena, pois auxilia na disponibilização do corpo em cena, favorecendo, também, a concentração do ator no ato de representar. / This research has, as its object of study, the techniques, principles and philosophy of Japanese martial art called Aikido, in a dialogue with principles and methods developed by Meyerhold, Rudolf Laban, Grotowski and Eugenio Barba, in order to create procedures that provide assistance to the actord body preparation and their artistic creation. We search, therefore, the scenic body, its movement and its continuing (re) organization. This work was based on bibliographic research and frequency in Aikido training, from where important elements were extracted to establish the foundations that enabled the connection between this martial art and the actor´s work. The practice consisted of exercises that aimed at the search of ways of transposition from the daily-body to the scenic body. In these trainings concepts and practices were developed aiming at body self-knowledge, preparation for the scene and the creation of extra-daily physical actions anchored in the practice of Aikido. The main practical result was the preparation of the play \"Separação de Corpos\", a monologue composed of physical actions created from the studied techniques during the training and that has as character a woman who was abandoned by his lover and seeks to understand her situation and overcome the loss, starting a new life in a different way. The presence of a tool such as Aikido, configured to be a great benefit to the work of the actor on stage, since it helps flexibility of the body on stage, encouraging concentration in the act of play as well.

But how the actor must work the material foundation of his art that is his own body? Starting from a prerogative of a idiosyncrasy that is part of theater, this study intend, from the description and reflection about one physical experience with the Tai Chi, to weave relations between this experience and the possible developments of acting preparation. This research is also aimed to highlight the elements of connection between the principles that rules Tai Chi and the body without organs, idealized by Artaud, with the perspective of pointing possible contributions for actors work. The work presented here refers to a qualitative study that considers the body experience in practice of Tai Chi as a reference to dialogue and reflect about the acting preparation. The process of acting preparation presupposes a constant redoing of the body by certain practices. My experience with Tai Chi within this research allowed me verify that the work from established body techniques could be a way of technical preparation for the actor. As the body conscience expands, Tai Chi promotes a greater freedom of creation and expression, giving the actor the possibility of experience the body without organs, the artistic equivalent of the daily body, present, conscious, the organic foundation of emotions, in wich it is possible the materiality of ideas / Embora a pesquisa no ?mbito das artes c?nicas tenha se desenvolvido substancialmente no ?ltimo s?culo, o ator, de modo geral, ainda hoje, carece de um repert?rio de referenciais espec?ficos para apoiar ou orientar sua pr?tica. Mas como o ator deve trabalhar a base material de sua arte, ou seja, seu pr?prio corpo? Partindo da prerrogativa de uma idiossincrasia presente no fazer teatral, este estudo pretende, a partir da descri??o e reflex?o acerca de uma viv?ncia corporal com o Tai Chi, tecer rela??es entre essa experi?ncia e os poss?veis desdobramentos com rela??o ? prepara??o do ator. A pesquisa tem por intuito tamb?m destacar os elementos de aproxima??o entre os princ?pios que regem a pr?tica do Tai Chi e o corpo sem ?rg?os, idealizado por Artaud, na perspectiva de apontar poss?veis contribui??es no que diz respeito ao trabalho do ator. O trabalho aqui apresentado refere-se a um estudo de natureza qualitativa que considera a experi?ncia do corpo na pr?tica do Tai Chi como uma refer?ncia para dialogar e refletir acerca da prepara??o do ator. No teatro, o processo de prepara??o do ator pressup?e um constante refazimento do corpo atrav?s de determinadas pr?ticas. A minha experi?ncia no Tai Chi no ?mbito dessa pesquisa me permitiu verificar que o trabalho a partir de t?cnicas corporais pr?-estabelecidas pode ser uma forma de preparo t?cnico para o ator. ? medida que amplia a consci?ncia corporal, o Tai Chi promove uma maior liberdade de cria??o e express?o e proporciona ao ator a possibilidade de experienciar o corpo sem ?rg?os, o equivalente art?stico do corpo cotidiano, a experi?ncia do corpo presente, consciente, a base org?nica das emo??es, atrav?s do qual ? poss?vel a materialidade das ideias
