Описание:
Theatrical scene design is one of the most beautiful, varied, and lively art forms. Yet there are relatively few books on the subject, and almost none for a general audience that combine expansive scholarship with lavish design. Making the Scene offers an unprecedented survey of the evolving context, theory, and practice of scene design from ancient Greek times to the present, coauthored by the world's best-known authority on the subject and enhanced by three hundred full-color illustrations.
Individual chapters of the book focus on Greece, Rome, Medieval Europe (including liturgical drama, street pageants, festival outdoor drama, Spanish religious drama, and royal entries), the Italian Renaissance, eighteenth-century Europe, Classicism to Romanticism, Realism and Naturalism, Modernism, and contemporary scene design. Making the Scene's authors review everything from the effects of social status on theatre design to the sea changes between Classicism, Romanticism, and Naturalism and the influence of perspective-based thought. Particularly intriguing is their rediscovery of lost tricks and techniques, from the classical deus ex machina and special effects in coliseums to medieval roving stage wagons and the floating ships of the Renaissance to the computerized practices of today's theatres. Such ingenious techniques, interwoven with the sweeping beauty of scene design through the ages, combine with the keen scholarship of Oscar Brockett and Margaret Mitchell to create a book as involving as the art it showcases.
A Touchstone of Determination - Ture Grit is a story of one man's career journey from North Carolina by way of Florida, ultimately to the Black Belt of Alabama. Dr. James Mitchell was driven by his dreams, vision and determination to transform the education and economic trajectory of blacks along the way. Due to his own economic circumstances earlier in life, he never wanted education to be outside the reach of any child. The challenges, opposition and resistance he encountered during his first decade in the Black Belt would have sent most packing. He also confronted all the stereotypical studies and the age-old civil rights programs that were not a fit with what the region needed. He poked the 'bear of change' and won. Most of his innovative programs at Wallace Community College Selma were the first in the state.
