HUMOROUS ENGLISH SEMANTICS
“There’s glory for you!” “I don’t know what you mean by ‘glory.’” Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously.
“Of course you don’t—till I tell you. I meant ‘there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!’” “But ‘glory’ doesn’t mean ‘a nice knock-down argument,” Alice objected. “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
(from Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass)
Rich Hall invented the term “sniglet” for a word that should be in the dictionary, but isn’t.

We would like to discuss the innovative possibilities of Zoom-recorded plays that are then published to YouTube.
SEE our web site and Planet Zoom Players list of plays here:
For example:
Our group, the Planet Zoom Players, have two plays done, the second play, H. G. Wells's "The Crystal Egg," with about 500 views and gaining high praise for its production quality as an animatics video.
Our goal is to bring to attention classic science fiction stories, adapt these to scripts, and make YouTube videos of them. Many people who have read classic science fiction believe that its best works have either never been made into film or video media.Some classic SF texts have been mishandled in the adaptation process.
Please share your thoughts on this important issue in theatre. How do you think this new capability can help our recovery of worthwhile but little know and never adapated fiction?
If you wish to help our efforts via sharing--use my Facebook contact for future communications:
In the most general way, I explore the phenomenon of affect in theater (drama and musical theater). Importantly, in my research I am not talking about feelings and emotions. Rather, I am on the side of the concept articulated by Brian Massumi: affect is an autonomous entity.
In other words, I am in search of a conceptualization of the "autonomous machine" for the production of affect in theater.
However, I have not found any literature that considers affect specifically in the territory of theater.
Deleuze devoted important concepts to affect, but they were related to cinema (the close-up).
Such as arenas, opera houses and performing arts theaters. I am tasked with developing such venues in Saudi Arabia, and we wish to benefit from lessons learned around the globe with such iconic venues.

This survey is designed to assess the differences in participation in arts by art receivers through natural/traditional versus digital/new ways.
We want to find out how the pandemic time - that forced us to move to digital ways of participation in arts - will influence our future behaviors in this area. We focus on the art receiver perspective.

I have my own idea but I will be very much interested in knowing your view/reflection on the matter. Is Shakespeare "translatable"?

Hello everybody,
I'm gathering information about yield management models in order to ultimately transfer them to other markets. Maybe for a cultural tour services like dance shows or theater productions.
Does anyone have any helpful information to find more models?
Thanks Tobias
I am conducting a study on the relationship between authenticty and a Christian tradition of spirituality. ¡We may exchange views some time!
I did not see Klenke among your references, I found was a good author on the relationship between authenticy and spirituality in leadership. Thought that if so, you may want to take a look at it.

Swarms of small, cheap drones, armed with concentrated charges, can take over the theater of operations of the future. These can create a lethal environment where soldiers or armed men can not exist. What do you think about this?
When speaking about the body in theater (and performance as well), we usually have the body of an actor or a performer in mind. But since we have accepted spectators and participants are (equally?) important for production of a play or a performance, the body of the theatergoer has to be (equally?) important, too. And what is the researcher or the reviewer if s/he is not a passionate and regular theatergoer who has the body? However, I have found only a few scholars who take the body of the researcher or the reviewer seriously in this matter (for instance Diana Damian Martin, Jennifer Starbuck-Parker, Roberta Mock and Marina Garcies). How come? And should we go after the researcher’s and reviewer’s body in theater? And if, how?

BOOK PROJECT
I am working on my book project about the sustainability development in cultural management context and try to collect as much examples as possible. Especially I am looking for examples to show formal organizations/institutions/business where a social participation is one of a management method. So if it is possible:
Could you give me some interesting examples where:
- budget
- program / offer
is/was created together with different stakeholders, and especially with the recipients/audience? I think about different organizations like cinema houses, permanent organizations, culture businesses, theaters etc.
Please give me detailed information that will allow me to contact the institution directly, or website address or English-language research/articles etc. on this subject.
I also collect examples of social participation in cultural policy making so this kind of examples are welcome but this first point is more important for me now.
I have prepared a common questionnaire for doctors and nurses and a similar questionnaire for patients with slight variation in few items.

I have been assigned to explore supernatural elements in Theatre, the aim is (or what my professor hopes that I will be able to do my thesis on) to finally look how supernatural elements are used in new realism drama of Rabe, Shepard, Norman (maybe even Williams, Wilson etc). I am to reserch
- The role of supernatural elements in ancient Greek drama. First a brief survey, then a tragedy of your choice.
- The role of supernatural elements in Renaissance drama. Just an overview.
- Ghosts in Hamlet and Macbeth. How do they contribute to the play? The dagger? The three witches? Their dramatic function?
- David Rabe's 'Sticks and Bones': Zung's ghost?
- Sam Shepard's 'Buried Child': supernatural elements?
-Marsha Norman's 'Getting Out': Arlie?
Can you recommend any sources that I can start on for my research. Especially for the Greek drama, as I can find articles on Roman Senecan tragedy but basically nothing on Greek drama for myself.
If you can point out a few sources, articles, books, that would be amazing!
Technically, this is my assignment as the research assistant of the professor, however, as she has pointed out the real project she has been working on has already been completed and she offered the position for me so it could be financial help, I think she assigned me these so I can find a thesis topic (she has previously suggested I might look for supernatural, or extra-natural elements in new realist dramas), as I am notorious for my inability to find a thesis topic. So, I am not trying to cheat here, just looking for suggestions, or starting points for my research.
Thank you in advance
I am referring to stage managers, technical directors (lighting sound vision) and design/craft areas. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
It was during a convention called: MISPERFORMANCE
ZAGREB, 2009
during the current decades, daily increasing development of theater in different countries and new dramatic theories presented on the basis of high capacity of the art in improvement of the quality of life, new aspect of drama have been identified and presented.
An aspect focused by majority of educational and training bodies, scientific and academic circles is Pedagogic Theater.
I am applying the actancial method to a mechatronic performance and I would like to know if there are some research or literature in this area. Thank you
The double take means that the actor is looking at an object twice, thus headlighting its emotional importance. It is a common "trick" in comedy theater and I wonder, if there is there any qualitative or quantitative research on this subject.
I am working on a paper on the relationship between political/social theatre and migration in the Colombian context and I would like to know if anyone knows about similar examples in other contexts (papers, books, etc).
Building such forms will reduce cost and enhance use of traditional building materials in providing structures for theater departments.
