Theatre vs. TheaterSlide9
Origins of TheatreSlide10
Let’s blow your mind….Slide11
Define Performance
Play, musical, film, acting, dancing, singing, ceremonies, religious acts/rituals, brushing your teeth, everyday conversationSlide12
Mind………blownSlide13
But…how was performance in the beginning?Slide14
Early “Performances”
Ceremonies (still continue today)
Dances: tribal, religious
Movements: gathering food, making a fire, etc.
Speeches
Rituals: religious
Storytelling: legends, histories, etc.
Any others?Slide15
GreekSlide16
Theatre in the Traditional SenseSlide17
Aesop and Aristotle
Who was Aesop?
Who was Aristotle?Slide18
Aesop’s Fables and Aristotelian Plot StructureSlide19
Let’s review Aristotle again
Aristotle created a structure for a WELL MADE PLAY including the various parts of a plot. He studied Greek plays from festivals to create his structure which we will talk about later.Slide20
Aristotelian Plot Structure
Exposition
Inciting Incident/Hook
Climax
Rising Action
Falling Action
DenouementSlide21
Other Elements Needed for Theatre
Actor
Audience
Place
LightSlide22
Historiography
“
The
study of the way history has been and is written
— the history of historical writing... When you study 'historiography' you do not study the events of the past directly, but the
changing interpretations of those events in the works of individual historians
."
The study of the way history has been and is written
The changing interpretations of historical evens in the works of individual historians
ESSENTIAL
: it is looking at history either through someone else’s perspective, opinion, etc.Slide23
You: Interpreting History/Styles
When you watch the performances today, you will look at them through your lens (your understanding or view on things)
Basically: you are
all
historians who understand or see history based on your own opinions, understanding, ideas, etc.
Some styles may seem silly, “bad storytelling”, bad acting, hard, etc. But, you label them yourself.
Note: the actors are also “historians” who are interpreting their style according to their own understanding and even desiresSlide24
GreekSlide25
Greek Playwriting/Festivals
Greek plays were written:
Mostly in trilogies
(3 plays to tell 1 story: think The Lord of the Rings or Hunger Games)
Written for festivals
. Main one being the festival for Dionysus, the god of wine and merrimentSlide26
Types (genres) of Plays
Tragedy
Comedy
Satyr
modern day satire (make fun of society)Slide27

Slide37
Actors
Only men acted. Women not considered citizensSlide38Slide39
5 Main Playwrights
Aeschylus:
Oresteia
.
Introduced the concept of a second actor
Possiblities
for plot and
historionics
Interaction of the two (interplay)
Sophocles:
Oedipus Rex
Chorus
starts to go away
Interplay between actors increases
Third actor addedSlide40
5 Main Playwrights Cont.
Euripides,
Medea, Electra, Trojan Women
Won less competitions
than Aeschylus
or Sophocles but most prolific and existing works produced today
Foreshadowed
the ultimate form of drama as we know
it
employing
a
far more
naturalistic or human approach
in his works, in contrast to the remote scale
and formalized
conventions used by his contemporaries
.
Aristophanes
and Menander
Comedies
End of Greek reign, fall of the empire
Outlet for frustration and economic downfallSlide41
Roman TheatreSlide42
Greek to Roman
Fall of Greek empire marks the rise of the Roman Empire
The Romans borrowed a lot from the Greeks, especially in art (theatre)
Roman theatre not as well known as Greek, but modern theatre owes much to Roman theatreSlide43Slide44
Roman Theatre
The word “PLAY” comes from Greek
ludus
: recreation or playSlide45
Roman: 2 forms
Fabula
Palliatia
: from Greek
Translated Greek plays
Also, Roman plays based on Greek plays
(Note: this happens from here on out with theatre)
Terence
: introduced
subplot
Subplot
:
enabling us to contrast the reactions of different sets of characters to the same events
or circumstancesSlide46
Roman: 2 forms
Fabula
Togata
: from Rome
Native origin: original work written by Romans
farcical situations and humor of a physical nature
Plautus:
playwrightSlide47
Roman Theatre
Spectacles
gladiators
chariot
races madeSlide48
Roman Plays
Plays of a more
serious, literary
nature
Plays not
intended to be performed so
much as
read or recited
.
Again, only men performed/attended
Few works
by Roman playwrights surviving to us
in forms
that would lend themselves to
revivalSlide49
Roman Stage
Roman theatre had a greater effect on performing space (theater)
The semi-circular orchestra of the
Greek theatre became a
raised stage
More physical style of acting (meaning they used physicality/movement more)Slide50
Roman and the Church
However, the greatest impact Rome may have had on
the theatre
was to
lower it in the esteem of the
Church
This impact
that was to retard the
growth of
the dramatic arts for several centuries.
low
comedy
and its
mass appeal
-- coupled with its association with
the entertainment
of the arena (which involved the martyrdom of early
Christians)Slide51
Rome and the Church Cont.
Plays, or
ludii
were associated with either comedy of a coarse and scurrilous nature, or with pagan rituals and holidays.
These rituals may be the reason theatre continued through middle agesSlide52
Bawdy
Appealed to the masses
Exciting
Course
“
Innappropriate
”
Sermons
Street preaching (missionary)
Later performances based on Bible writings
Rome and the Church
Secular (Rome)
Religious (Church)Slide53
Discussion
In your opinion, which is more popular today? Why do you think it is more popular?Slide54
Greek/Roman Performance
Greek
Masks
Declamatory
“Monotone” or emotionless speech
Violent acts happen offstage, chorus or servant tell the stories to the audience of what happened
Roman
More interplay between actors
More movement/actionSlide55
Greek/Roman Performance, Cont.
Do not
Add contemporary movement to it
Speak in slang, or as you would to your friends
Stay as true as you can to they styles and the genre of the playSlide56
Romans
Celebrated the human body (just as the Greeks)
Art, statues, performance, etc.
Gladiator performances in the nude
Only men performed and attended (again, women not considered citizens)Slide57
Medieval
“Middle Ages”Slide58
People of the Time
Pagan
A person holding religious beliefs other than those of the main world religions
Of or relating to such a people or beliefs: “ a pagan god”
Illiterate
Could not read (Bible) or were not allowed toSlide59
Fall of Rome
Players (performers/actors) tried to make a living by performing where they could (traveling)
Kept theatre alive in Europe during Dark Ages, thought the
Catholic Church tried to silence them in every way possible
Church’s belief that the end of the world was near, it argued that
people should turn away from worldly interests (performing being one of them) and prepare for the Day of JudgmentSlide60
Dark Ages-Medieval
Players traveled with what they could carry
Stages were improvised trestle stages (folding and portable)
Since the world did not end, the Church started to see less harm in entertaining diversions, but said they
(plays/performances) should be religious in natureSlide61
Start of Medieval Theatre
Since the people could not read
priests started acting out parts of the Bible
to help them understand Christianity
First plays were about Christ
The nativity (advent)
The resurrection
Other biblical events
Noahs
ark, Adam and Eve (Cain/Able), Moses and the Red Sea, Jonah and the whale, the Good Samaritan, etc.Slide62
Medieval Theatre
Passion plays
Christ: birth, life, death
The Catholic Church looked at theatre as an “unholy”, negative and wrong practice
….until it needed theatre to spread it’s message during the Medieval EraSlide63
Medieval Theatre Practices
Street players
Jugglers
Acrobats
Animal trainers
Ironically, it is because of the Church that theatre survived the middle agesSlide64
Medieval Theatre Practices Cont.
Seasonal pagan festivals
(rituals and superstition) still continued
As a result:
the Church linked it’s own religious holidays (i.e. Easter, Christmas) with these festivals and began to use theatre to illustrate the stories behind the holidaysSlide65
Pagan and the Church
Easter: the resurrection. The time of Easter is based on the cycles of the moon, the equinox, and seasons and things in nature.
In simple terms Easter occurs on the first Sunday following the first full moon that occurs on or after the day of the vernal equinox (the first day of spring).
Christmas: became generally associated with the southern solstice (i.e., the Roman winter solstice), with a sun connection being possible because Christians consider Jesus to be the "Sun of righteousness”Slide66
The Catholic Church Theatre
Re-enactments of the first passion plays (nativity and adoration of the Magi)
Played by priests in the church (cathedrals/sanctuaries/etc.)
Priests would stand at various locations in the church (building), acting out scenes
Choir would sing
Audience would move from scene to sceneSlide67
Church Theatre cont.
Eventually moved outside the church
Members of the towns began to contribute, plays became more elaborate
Passion plays became super popular (like a new movie coming out)
Added subplots and elements of humorSlide68
Pageant WagonsSlide69
Pageant Wagons, cont.
Roll from one town to another
“To teach”
Mysteries: plays performed on pageant wagons
Wagon: stored scenery, dressing room space, offstage space
People would pay more money than they could really afford to see themSlide70
Church Theatre, cont.
Held in a more permanent place
Often scenes centering around the life of Christ
Single stage with an elevated “heaven” and one end and a “
hellmouth
” at the other (usually belching flames and
deamons
)
In between
: “mansions”, or small buildings, that represented various points in the New Testament story
“
Hellmouth
” the most popular because it used flashy special effects favored by the crowd (think summer blockbusters)…the dead boiled in cauldron, etc.Slide71
Types of Church Plays
Passion Plays
: Christ’s life
Mystery Plays/Miracle Plays
: Bible stories
Morality Plays
: Taught moralsSlide72
Theatrical Advancements
Stage (as discussed before)
Stock characters that were contemporary (Everyman)
When the protestant reformation took hold and
stable government came into Europe, theatre became more secular (next time period)Slide73
Morality Plays: teach a moral, duh
Morality plays held several elements in common:
The hero represents
Mankind
or
Everyman
.
Among the other characters are
personifications
of virtues, vices and Death, as well as angels and demons who battle for the possession of the soul of man.
The
psychomachia
, the battle for the soul
A character known as the
Vice
often played the role of the tempter in a fashion both sinister and comic. Slide74
Morality Plays
Dramatized allegories of the life of man, his temptation and sinning, his quest for salvation, and his confrontation by death
Developed most fully in the 15
th
century, handled the subjects that were most popular among medieval preachers and was inspired by preaching techniqueSlide75
Everyman
An allegory about life and death
There’s this guy named “Everyman” because he represents, well, EVERY MAN (all mankind)
God sends Death to summon Everyman to die
Everyman will present himself before God to have his deeds tallied before him (final judgment)
He goes around to get “friends” to go with him after death to make his account to God better
These characters represent (allegories) various human actions, virtues and vices (Fellowship, Goods-material, Knowledge, Good Deeds, Confession, Beauty, Strength, etc.)
Conflict of good and evil seen in each interaction with a new character
Only Good Deeds goes with himSlide76
Morality Plays, cont.
Certain themes found a home in the morality plays:
The theme of the
Seven Deadly
Sins (lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride)
The theme of Mercy and Peace pleading before God for man's soul against Truth and
Righteousness
The
Dance of Death
, which focuses on Death as God's messenger come to summon all, high and low. Slide77
Decline in Theatre
Although much occurred during Medieval times with theatre, it’s sole focus on Christianity ideals limited it’s growthSlide78
In the first section of our History of Theatre, we looked at the beginnings of theatre
in Greece
, its migration to Rome, and its decline during the Middle Ages. In this
section we'll
examine the rebirth of the theatre and its domination by a playwright of genius. It
is during
this period that theatre re-emerges from the Church and becomes secular
theatre-
- although it remains largely under the control of the state, be that sovereign King
or Republic
.Slide79
The InterludeSlide80
Commedia
d’ell
Arte was more fully developed and performed from the 1500s onSlide81
Interlude
Morality play
BUT….
Added: more realistic and comic elements
Term “interlude” might be from a short play performed between the courses of a banquet
End of 15
th
century (1400s)Slide82
Interlude
Transition from MEDIEVAL RELIGIOUS drama to TUDOR SECULAR dramaSlide83
Interlude Cont.
Gives us the beginnings of English Comedy,
the beginning of prose (everyday speech in a play),
and English TragedySlide84
Tudor playwrights
Henry
Medwall’s
Fulgens
and
Lucres
(end of 15
th
century)
Earliest secular play in English
Tudor Plays=written as part of the evening’s entertainment at a
nobleman’s house
and their emphasis is more on
amusement
than instructionSlide85
Renaissance and Reformation
15
th
and 16
th
Centuries
Renaissance=“rebirth” or rediscovery
of Greek/Roman
Movement towards Nationalism (Protestant Reformation)
Secularization of art
Italy: Roman plays revived and performed, proscenium stages (“picture frame”) usedSlide86
R & R Cont.
“
Play-Makers”, stages, included enclosed courtyards open to air
Apron stage, or open stage=
THRUST
stage (audience on 3 sides)
Groundspace
for standing (groundlings)
Elevated StageSlide87
R & R Cont.
Emphasis on dialogue
, not blocking and action
Plays still had a moralistic tone
“Play-maker”=emphasis on performer
Troupes created with owner-actors, journeymen and hirelingsSlide88
Reformation
Protestant Reformation and the establishment of the Church of England (break from Catholic Church)
Intellectuals based plays on Greek (Protestant) and Roman (Church in Rome)
Caused them to be called “Heretic”=life or death
Thus they avoided revivals of classics and wrote original, secular works of a general, non-political and non-religious natureSlide89
Theaters
the banning of troupes
Traveling troupes were feared to carry the
plague
Possible
civil unrest
(riots, etc.) by people who drank and went to the performances
Possible idleness and
taking people away from work
Theatres were associated with
women of ill-repute
Civil authorities banned performances of traveling troupesSlide90
Theaters cont.
Previous things led to
Established
theatre companies
Permanent
theater
spaces
Licensing of official companies by the throne
Domination of theatre by the stateSlide91

Elizabethan Theatre and Shakespeare
Elizabethan and Jacobean playwrights:
Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson
Shakespeare

Born in Stratford-upon-Avon
Plays are timeless for their understanding of human nature and characterSlide96
Shakespeare Cont.
Member of Lord Chamberlain’s and King James I’s own company, part owner of the
Globe and
Blackfriars
playhouses
Open-air theaters
Acting style is more “natural”. Encouraged a more natural style of speaking

th
century)Slide97
Shakespeare TextSlide98
Shall I compare thee to a summer's
day
?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of
May
,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven
shines
,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime
declines
,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou
ow'st
,
Nor shall death brag thou
wand'rest
in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou
grow'st
.
So
long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So
long lives this, and this gives life to thee.Slide99
I left no ring with her: what means this lady?
Fortune forbid my outside have not
charm'd
her!
She made good view of me; indeed, so much,
That sure
methought
her eyes had lost her tongue,
For she did speak in starts distractedly.
She loves me, sure; the cunning of her passion
Invites me in this churlish messenger.
None of my lord's ring! why, he sent her none.
I am the man: if it be so, as 'tis,
Poor lady, she were better love a dream.Slide100
BENEDICK:
O, she misused me past the endurance of a block! An oak but with one green leaf on it would have answered her; my very visor began to assume life and scold with her. She told me, not thinking I had been myself, that I was the Prince's jester, that I was duller than a great thaw; huddling jest upon jest with such impossible conveyance upon me that I stood like a man at a mark, with a whole army shooting at me. She speaks poniards, and every word stabs.Slide101
Nay
, I'll show you the manner of it.
This shoe
is my father: no, this left shoe is my
father: no
, no, this left shoe is my mother: nay, that
cannot be so neither: yes, it is so, it is so,
it hath
the
worser
sole.
This shoe, with the hole
in it
, is my mother, and this my father; a vengeance
on't
! there 'tis: now, sit, this staff is
my sister
, for, look you, she is as white as a lily
and as
small as a wand: this hat is Nan, our maid:
I am
the dog: no, the dog is himself, and I am
the dog-
-Oh! the dog is me, and I am myself; ay,
so, so
. Now come I to my father; Father,
your blessing
: now should not the shoe speak a word
for weeping
: now should
I kiss my father
; well,
he weeps
on. Now come I to my mother: O, that she could
speak now like a wood woman! Well, I kiss her; why, there 'tis; here's my mother's breath up and down.Slide102
Cordelia
.
Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave
My heart into my mouth. I love your Majesty
According to my bond; no more nor less.
Lear.
How, how,
Cordelia
? Mend your speech a little,
Lest it may mar your fortunes.
Cordelia
.
Good my lord,
You have begot me, bred me,
lov'd
me; I
Return those duties back as are right fit,
Obey you, love you, and most
honour
you.
Why have my sisters husbands, if they say
They love you all? Haply, when I shall wed,
That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry
Half my love with him, half my care and duty.
Sure I shall never marry like my sisters,
To love my father all.Slide103
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!Slide104
