Forced entertainment started working together in 1984 and is made up of six artists Tim Etchells (Artistic Director), Richard Lowdon (Designer), Robin Arthur, Claire Marshall, Cathy Naden and Terry O’Connor. The work they make tries to investigate what theatre and execution can mean in contemporary life and is dependably a sort of discussion or transaction, something that should be live. They are occupied with making exhibitions that energize, test, address and divert other individuals and inspired by perplexity and additionally

    Weep In The Playtime Of Others Analysis

    Weeping in the Playtime of Others In reading Weeping in the Playtime of Others: America’s Incarcerated Children by Kenneth Wooden, I learned about the devastating, heartbreaking truths about how corrupt our juvenile legal system is. I knew there was probably some violence within the facilities, but I didn’t realize the extent of the torture and physical abuse the youth experienced within in the juvenile correctional facilities across America. I was shocked by the amount of youth that weren’t actually what we would consider criminals. These children were incarcerated because they were emotionally disturbed, mentally handicapped or because they ran away from home to escape a bad situation.…

    Speech And Debate Play Analysis

    I was extremely excited to watch Brooklyn College’s rendition of Speech and Debate. The reasoning behind my excitement was that whilst reading the play written by Stephan Karam, I quickly realized that it’s humor and authenticity were aspects that I typically enjoy to a great extent in stories, whether that be in the form of a television show, movie, or play. I also felt that I was readily prepared to watch the show meticulously and focus on its acting and casting aspects. I chose the acting facet of the production to be the focal point of my review yet again because I understand that I could have pushed further and been more detail oriented when writing my previous review. Brooklyn College’s Speech and Debate had a small cast of four actors.…

    Our Kids Analysis

    The overall theme of the book, Our Kids, by Robert Putnam was how the access to upward mobility has changed for low income and many students in this generation. Putnam does this by using several examples starting with his childhood. I think he has a very valid point, although many have made it out of poverty into successful careers, there are many that have not and have no idea how to make a change. The world was very different back in the 1950 when Putnam grew up and we have since lost that overall sense of community that was so important very present in those days. Although there were major problems present for that generation, the student of the newer generations are dealing with a different world.…

    Taichman And Sholem Asch: Play Analysis

    In a society where people often become comfortable in everyday routine, artists who invoke controversy and change always break away from the pack. Rebecca Taichman and Sholem Asch both incite tensions into theatre to promote change and acceptance. Taichman and Asch challenged the views of audiences by including different races, religions and sexual orientations in shows that they write and produce. They faced adversities and criticism, but did what they loved despite the inevitable negative responses and backlash from audiences and their peers. Sholem Asch was a Yiddish novelist and playwright best known for his extremely controversial play, God of Vengeance.…

    Many people in today’s society are struggling to find their why. We question our meaning or our greater purpose that makes us feel significant on this planet. Constantly, as human being, we try and find ways to make us feel larger than we actually are. In other words, if we believe that our lives had a deeper and more profound impact on others, then we feel our lives had meaning. In McGonigal’s article, he explains that video games, such as Halo, can help gamers feel a greater sense of depth in their lives.…

    Fake It Til You Make It Analysis

    During high school, I took public transportation to school every morning, but unlike Peta Cox, I never wanted anyone to sit next to me. I preferred sitting alone for two reasons: first, because people often eat their breakfast on the bus, and the smell of food makes me hungry. Second, because I was mentally ill. I had long-term depression and I was anti-social; I saw the world in a shade of grey. However, one day I decided to change and escape the grip of depression.…

    Independance or organization, it is actually a tough question for most parents to answer without their own opinion. I however would choose independance, which in this case is refered to as creative play. Creative play fosters one of the most needed things in today's society, independance. I get that it relies on the parenting 'style' of the person but they can't make their kid, them. These day's are some of the most trying times for parents and their kids.…

    Disman says, “there seemed to be no way to opt out of the live streaming: the absence of a ‘no’ taken as a ‘yes,’” (Disman 47). Although this many not be as traumatizing as sexual assault, it still is an example of how consent is often manipulated or wholly disregarded in performance art. To conclude, it is clear that performance art is a great medium…

    Othello Analysis

    On Friday 24th October 2014, I went to see Frantic Assembly’s version of William Shakespeare’s ‘Othello’, directed by Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett. Frantic Assembly are a theatre company whose performances are primarily dominated by their unusual use of physical theatre to express emotions of characters and uncover hidden meanings within the play through the use of movement. The play was performed to an audience of mostly young adults and teenagers, perhaps because it had been reconceptualised, which possibly appeals to younger generations. Before the play began, there was a very clear and deliberately created atmosphere.…

    Creative Play Direction

    In the chapter covering blocking, Cohen and Harrop introduce several ways of blocking with different intentions. They stress on ways of blocking with an overriding focus on presenting intrinsic interpretation of a script. The chapter also includes a number of different images to demonstrate which blocking facilitates which visual effect correspondingly, thus very helpful for visualization. Another chapter “Working with Actors” explains different acting systems including Stanislavski’s system, Meyerhold’s biomechanics, Copeau’s poetic physicality, Artaud’s theatre of cruelty, and Brecht’s epic theatre. In this section, Cohen and Harrop take an extra step by offering a general guideline of how directors should react and interact with actors corresponding to each system.…

    Bring It On Movie Analysis

    David Denby paints us a picture of how Hollywood portrays high school life in movies. The very first movie of the Bring It On series, titled Bring It On, fits his description almost perfectly. The main characters in this movie are high schoolers that are very passionate about cheerleading. It sounds like an innocent movie that everyone can watch, but this movie contains a lot of adult humor. Denby described Hollywood’s portrayal of high school as a “never ending nightmare” (p. 366).…
