Free Download Frank J. Korom, "Hosay Trinidad: Muharram Performances in an Indo-Caribbean Diaspora" English | 2002 | pages: 316 | ISBN: 0812218256, 0812236831 | PDF | 164,6 mb The multivocalic rite known as Hosay in the Caribbean developed out of earlier practices originating in Iraq and Iran which diffused to Trinidad by way of South Asian indentured laborers brought to the Caribbean by the British from the mid-1800s to the early decades of the twentieth century. The rituals are important as a Shi'i religious observance, but they also are emblems of ethnic and national identity for Indo-Trinidadians. Frank Korom investigates the essential role of Hosay in the performance of multiple identities by historically and ethnographically situating the event in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Caribbean contexts. Hosay Trinidad: Muharram Performances in an Indo-Caribbean Diaspora is the first detailed historical and ethnographic study of Islamic muharram rituals performed on the island of Trinidad. ![Acting Naturally The Magic in Great Performances [Audiobook]](https://i121.fastpic.org/big/2023/0213/1a/570f2064d2da3bf655c6bfa82dd8871a.jpeg) Acting Naturally: The Magic in Great Performances (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0B646GRK7 | 2023 | 10 hours and 58 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 302 MB Author: David Thomson Narrator: David Thomson  Acting Naturally by David Thomson English | 2023 | ISBN: 059331929X | 288 pages | True EPUB | 6.65 MB  Fiona Macintosh, Justine McConnell, Stephen Harrison, "Epic Performances from the Middle Ages Into the Twenty-First Century" English | 2018 | ISBN: 0198804210 | PDF | pages: 666 | 96.6 mb Greek and Roman epic poetry has always provided creative artists in the modern world with a rich storehouse of themes. Tim Supple and Simon Reade's 1999 stage adaptation of Ted Hughes' Tales from Ovid for the RSC heralded a new lease of life for receptions of the genre, and it now routinely provides raw material for the performance repertoire of both major cultural institutions and emergent, experimental theatre companies.  Jeanne Scheper, "Moving Performances: Divas, Iconicity, and Remembering the Modern Stage" English | ISBN: 0813585457 | 2016 | 200 pages | EPUB | 5 MB Fabulous yet fierce, imperious yet impetuous, boss yet bitchy-divas are figures of paradox. Their place in culture is equally contradictory, as they are simultaneously venerated and marginalized, hailed as timeless but then frequently forgotten or exhumed as cult icons by future generations.  Doris Kolesch, "Staging Spectators in Immersive Performances " English | ISBN: 0367729296 | 2020 | 222 pages | PDF | 9 MB At present, we are witnessing a significant transformation of established forms of spectatorship in theatre, performance art and beyond.

 Performances that Change the Americas (Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies) by Stuart Alexander Day 2021 | ISBN: 036748949X | English | 248 pages | PDF | 12.7 MB This collection of essays explores activist performances, all connected to theater or performance training, that have changed the Americas―from Canada to the Southern Cone. Through the study of specific examples from numerous countries, the authors of this volume demonstrate a crucial, shared outlook: they affirm that ordinary people change the direction of history through performance. This project offers concrete, compelling cases that emulate the modus operandi of people like historian Howard Zinn. In the same spirit, the chapters treat marginal groups whose stories underscore the potentially unstoppable and transformative power of united, embodied voices. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of theatre, performance, art and politics.  Cultural Performances in Medieval France: Essays in Honor of Nancy Freeman Regalado By Eglal Doss-Quinby, Roberta L. Krueger, E. Jane Burns 2007 | 342 Pages | ISBN: 1843841126 | PDF | 3 MB This collection of essays pays tribute to Nancy Freeman Regalado, a ground-breaking scholar in the field of medieval French literature whose research has always pushed beyond disciplinary boundaries. The articles in the volume reflect the depth and diversity of her scholarship, as well as her collaborations with literary critics, philologists, historians, art historians, musicologists, and vocalists - in France, England, and the United States. Inspired by her most recent work, these twenty-four essays are tied together by a single question, rich in ramifications: how does performance shape our understanding of medieval and pre-modern literature and culture, whether the nature of that performance is visual, linguistic, theatrical, musical, religious, didactic, socio-political, or editorial? The studies presented here invite us to look afresh at the interrelationship of audience, author, text, and artifact, to imagine new ways of conceptualizing the creation, transmission, and reception of medieval literature, music, and art. EGLAL DOSS-QUINBY is Professor of French at Smith College. ROBERTA L. KRUEGER is Professor of French at Hamilton College. E. JANE BURNS is Professor of Women's Studies and Adjunct Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
