Max Reinhardt
Author: Peter W. Marx
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 0810138921
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Max Reinhardt was one of the formative directors of modern theater. Starting as an actor, it soon became clear that he wanted more. His vision of a theater "that returns joy to the people" was vast and expansive: It included intimate theatrical arrangement as well as mass production in the circus arena. Reinhardt's aesthetics were not restricted to a single program but indulged in a playful eclecticism. Thus, his career as a director that lasted for almost 40 years comprises a broad variety of artists of various genres as well as many different styles. At the same time, Reinhardt soon longed for an international range: guest performances throughout Europe and to the US soon made him into a global star – and even a brand. He represents a metropolitan culture that roots in the late nineteenth century but comes to an end when Fasicsm in Europe ended any hopes for an international culture. As a Jew, Reinhardt himself had to flee the Nazis but when he eventually arrived in the US, he could not follow up with his earlier successes. Marx provides a broad panorama of Reinhardt's work, portraying not only his work method and some of his best known productions, but also the cultural conditions of his visionary enterprise.

Pantomime
Author: Karl Toepfer
Publisher: Vosuri Media
ISBN: 1733249737
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 1320
Book Description
This book offers perhaps the most comprehensive history of pantomime ever written. No other book so thoroughly examines the varieties of pantomimic performance from the early Roman Empire, when the term “pantomime” came into use, until the present. After thoroughly examining the complexities and startlingly imaginative performance strategies of Roman pantomime, the author identifies the peculiar political circumstances that revived and shaped pantomime in France and Austria in the eighteenth century, leading to the Pierrot obsession in the nineteenth century. Modernist aesthetics awakened a huge, highly diverse fascination with pantomime. The book explores an extraordinary variety of modernist and postmodern approaches to pantomime in Germany, Austria, France, numerous countries of Eastern Europe, Russia, Scandinavia, Spain, Belgium, The Netherlands, Chile, England, and The United States. Making use of many performance and historical documents never before included in pantomime histories, the book also discusses pantomime’s messy relation to dance, its peculiar uses of music, its “modernization” through silent film aesthetics, and the extent to which writers, performers, or directors are “authors” of pantomimes. Just as importantly, the book explains why, more than any other performance medium, pantomime allows the spectator to see the body as the agent of narrative action.
