A Beautiful Fight
A Beautiful Fight examines the potentials and limits of capoeira Angola to cohere a multiracial community committed to antiracist struggle. Capoeira, a musical fight-game that originated among enslaved Africans in Brazil, holds special significance for Black Brazilian activists as a spiritual and political practice that affirms the value of Black lives, thus countering anti-Black violence sanctioned by the Brazilian state. However, many capoeira groups count more white practitioners than Black, especially groups of the politicized, Afrocentric style capoeira Angola, raising debates about appropriation of Black culture that resonate across the Americas. A Beautiful Fight addresses these tensions. Drawing on ethnographic research with a multiracial capoeira Angola group in Brazil's Bahian sert瓊o or backlands, Esther Viola Kurtz explores diverse group members' understandings of capoeira's spiritual and political meanings and considers how white participation impacts capoeira's antiracist politics. A Beautiful Fight argues that white practitioners occupying space in capoeira divert attention from Black members' concerns and reproduce racist and colonialist ideologies, albeit unintentionally. In this way, the book complicates claims that shared music and dance bridge differences and facilitate cross-racial unity, yet Kurtz proposes that capoeira still transmits knowledge and tools that, when used with intention, commitment, and care, can be wielded to collaboratively contest racism and imagine a more just world.

Speech and Drama
19 lectures, Dornach, April 10, 1921 and September 5-23, 1924This course was designed for students and professionals in the stage arts and given in the Section for the Arts of Speech and Music School of Spiritual Science at the Goetheanum. Rudolf Steiner begins with a fundamental and spiritually-rooted appreciation of human speech and what actually takes place during human communication. Speech is a spiritual activity as well as an art form, lending itself to real interaction with both higher spiritual worlds and the human world of social conversation.Steiner shows that speech is a powerful tool for any serious dramatist in conveying the reality of worlds, whether visible or invisible, to the individual souls in the audience.This is an essential book for anyone involved in speech work, communication arts, and many kinds of therapies.This volume is a translation from German of Sprachgestaltung und Dramatische Kunst (GA 282).
Film Comedy and Spain
What's so funny about Spanish cinema? Throughout the past half-century, film comedies have flourished across Spain, breaking box-office records by reflecting, praising, or scoffing at the fragile transition from Francoist dictatorship to present-day democracy. But how, exactly, does the nation find itself funny onscreen? And, in this cathartic, self-deprecating humour, what ghosts are exorcised, what anxieties released? In this wide-ranging and lively study, Matthew Hilborn reclaims comedy as politically influential, showing how filmmakers like Pedro Almod籀var, Bigas Luna, Santiago Segura, ?lex de la Iglesia, Emilio Mart穩nez-L獺zaro, and Javier Ruiz Caldera continually reimagine 'Spanishness' amid political contradiction and compromise. How Spain sniggers becomes a vital sign of change, exposing what's really tickling the nation's fancy - or getting under its skin - at key turning-points in recent history.Matthew Hilborn is Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Spanish Studies and Film Studies at University College Dublin.
Parikshita Awaiting and Siddhartha the Other
The plot of the play Parikshita Awaiting is based on social realism, how a small kid gets affected by the incidents happening in the surroundings every day, and fear engulfs the senior most persons in the family and society. I have stated above that culture/ society/environment shapes an individual. Parikshita, the play's protagonist, and other family members, like two sons, Sandeep and Pradeep and wife, Shashwati, are sprayed by the fear complex at home. This fear factor engulfs the entire family members when Parikshita opens the letter inserted in the door stating, 'Your head will be severed from the body'. That was written by a child, Chintu, a classmate of Parikshita's younger son, Pradeep. He writes it out of anger. But the family members and neighbours think that a hardcore criminal or goon has chalked out this evil plan carefully.The protagonist, Siddhartha, in the second play, Siddhartha, the Other, makes the people aware of the life they have been blessed with on this planet. He doesn't discuss salvation, nirvana, moksha, or enlightenment like Goutam Buddha. Here, he advocates for the people on Earth to focus on the work that will make them immortal. In this play, Siddhartha, the only son of the industrialist Rajendra, leaves his father, fianc矇e Lopa and friend Sambit to meditate in the dense forest full of wild creatures of the Mountain of Himalayas. Rajendra, Lopa, and Sambit, accompanied by security personnel, have followed him since he ran away from home. While meditating, he visits heaven in his dream and meets the God of Wealth, Kubera and Agni Deva, the God of Fire, and finally, Vishnu, God the Almighty. Siddhartha asks them, "How can the people on Earth attain the immortal life you all experience here in heaven?" Their answers bring out the new changes in Siddhartha's life. Where there is no death, there is no life. There is nothing new. No changes are marked in the life. Our ever-youthfulness and eternal spring in heaven make our life monotonous and disappointing. We have been suffering this life since time immemorial as if cursed. But the people on Earth like you think that we enjoy life here. Variety is the beauty of life that you all experience there. Sometimes, some of us step down to Earth and get thrilled. Initially, he requests the Almighty to bless the people with jatismara(the power to recollect their past lives). But later, he understood the repercussions of that.
The Middlebrow Musical
Rattled by two world wars, ongoing discrimination, and economic calamity, a group of critics in 1940s New York sought to promote art that would do nothing less than heal the world. The primary obstacle to this project, they believed, was that American culture had splintered into factions, which in turn divided American audiences: highbrow art, which these writers regarded as obscure and elitist; folk art, which they found provincial and alienating; and popular culture, which they considered merely commercial. Blending these kinds of art, they argued, could draw together a fractured society into mutual understanding (if not necessarily agreement) by situating the most sophisticated ideas within longstanding expressive traditions, accessible to all. Their contemporaries called this culture "middlebrow" and believed that its culmination appeared on Broadway. The Middlebrow Musical straddles the study of popular musical theater and opera, and in so doing charts a new path through modernism. Through detailed archival work, this book uncovers the crucial critical networks that originally theorized a middlebrow approach to culture, beginning in the literary circles of Van Wyck Brooks and Archibald MacLeish, and radiating outward to major theater and music critics including Brooks Atkinson and Olin Downes. Their broad influence on theater becomes clear as this book follows three shows from their earliest conceptions to their opening-night reviews: Richard Rodgers's and Oscar Hammerstein II's Oklahoma!, Duke Ellington's and John Latouche's Beggar's Holiday, and Kurt Weill's, Elmer Rice's, and Langston Hughes's Street Scene. Each chapter features behind-the-scenes communications, which reveal how these Broadway writers explicitly deployed middlebrow theories to negotiate high-art aspirations toward operas, symphonies, and experimental theater; toward contemporary folk-music studies; and toward popular-culture accessibility, all with civic intentions of pulling disparate audiences together into a thoughtful reflection upon the modern, war-torn world. While The Middlebrow Musical focuses on Broadway, it also offers new strategies for understanding the relationship between popular and highbrow culture during the early decades of the twentieth century. Compared to the experiments of high modernism, many of the works featured in this book have struck previous scholars as conservative or cautious. The Middlebrow Musical invites readers to take another look, to consider the forgotten principles that inspired these works, and to recognize them as equally daring and controversial contributions to twentieth-century art.
Jack Gelber
This book explores the works of Humanist/Absurdist American playwright Jack Gelber (1932-2003), whose groundbreaking, immersive play The Connection (produced by The Living Theatre in 1959) served as the link between the Art Theatre/Beat Generation and the Off-Off Broadway movement.
Italian Experimental Cinema and Moving-Image Art
This volume presents one of the first systematic inquiries into Italian experimental and avant-garde cinema in English language, thanks to contributions which deepen the history of experimental audio-visual works in Italy. Frameworks of film production, distribution and circulation, as well as theoretical discourses and emblematic case studies are investigated by this edited collection, which tries to provide a broad overview of the complex phenomena that occurred in a century of cinema beyond its industry, its market, and its conventions. The aim of this book is not to offer a comprehensive compendium, but to explore new paths in researching Italian experimental moving image, its history, and new theoretical insights into authors and their works. The volume is structured in thematic sections. Each of them includes different contributions according to two different types: plenary essays, which offer in-depth analyses on historical and theoretical features, and monographic essays, which focus on single authors, collectives, or works.

When Katherine Brewed, a Play
In the sweltering heat of 1381, England's feudal foundations trembled as the Peasants' Revolt erupted-a rebellion that would forever echo through history. Triggered by an oppressive poll tax but fuelled by deeper injustices, this uprising saw land workers, artisans, and commoners rise to challenge the authority of landowners, church, and crown. 'When Katherine Brewed' brings this momentous event to life on stage, blending historical fidelity with a bold, radical perspective.Drawing from chronicles and centuries of literary reinterpretation, this devised play reveals the struggles of the forgotten: those who dared to dream of a world free from exploitation and tyranny. Through the lens of class struggle and solidarity, the story of Wat Tyler, John Ball, and their fellow rebels unfolds, exposing the duplicity of rulers and the undying hope of those who resist.Echoing the spirit of radical theatre traditions, this play reimagines this medieval rebellion with contemporary relevance, urging audiences to reflect on enduring issues of inequality and power. Both an homage to the past and a rallying cry for the future, this production is as much a tribute to those who fought as it is an invitation to envision a world transformed. Witness history, and the lessons it still holds.
Signature Pedagogies for the Playwriting Classroom
Drawing on qualitative research exploring the techniques of playwriting instructors, this book outlines signature pedagogies within playwriting instruction for 'novice' writers and how they may be reimagined and reinvigorated. Through research gathered in interviews with 11 instructors, and surveying their methods, syllabi and handouts, Andrew Black interrogates key challenges within dramatic writing pedagogy: the myth that it, along with creativity, cannot be taught; the lack of clarity about the instructional value of playwriting education for diverse contemporary audiences; the tendency to allow the writing product to drive instruction rather than process; and the tension between traditional and experimental models of play construction and how this can confound instructional techniques. Identifying 3 indispensable and signature pedagogies that are consistently used in the classroom - the writing exercise, the use of mentor texts and the workshopping of student material - this book describes key strategies and practices used by seasoned instructors which bring these pedagogical strategies to life, strategies and practices which can support instructors in reimagining their playwriting classrooms. An intervention for "lorebased" pedagogical models that are often out of date and reflect the biases of previous generations, Black offers a starting point for instructors developing their inclusive lesson plans, offering a comprehensive understanding of pedagogical options available to the instructors.

Sleepaway Camp
Softcover edition contains over 100 NEW BONUS PAGES and more than 50 ADDITIONAL IMAGES about Sleepaway Camp II and III! As featured in Fangoria, Movieweb, ComingSoon, Queerty, Rue Morgue, Yahoo News, Bloody Disgusting, and more! The book and author Jeff Hayes are also profiled in the 2025 Shout! Factory 4K releases for Sleepaway Camp II and III.In 1983, Robert Hiltzik's Sleepaway Camp was quickly disregarded by film reviewers. Variety called it a "tired version of teen oriented horror film formulas," The Philadelphia Enquirer "had more thrills untangling paper clips," and The Cincinnati Post branded it "more horrible than horrifying."But fans saw something different. Very different. 40 years since its release, the film's unique blend of horror, tongue-in-cheek comedy, sexuality, and gender roles--along with an ending to end all endings, was seemingly ahead of its time. Sleepaway Camp is now discussed and debated more than when it was initially released.Longtime official Sleepaway Camp webmaster, writer, and filmmaker Jeff Hayes goes behind the scenes like never before, revealing the development and making of the film, its immediate aftermath, and the more than four decades of fandom since its release. This definitive Sleepaway Camp compendium includes interviews with much of the cast and crew (with many new exclusives), more than 125 production and memorabilia images (including previously unreleased on-set stills), and takes you backstage to the reunions, retro screenings, and convention events that have united fans and reignited interest in this beloved horror tale.Two sequels later, plus Hiltzik's retcon film Return to Sleepaway Camp, Sleepaway Camp continues to resonate in a big way with '80s film buffs, global horror fans, and the LGBT community, all of whom enjoy their horror films...with a twist.

Representing the New AI in Film and Television
The 21st-century has witnessed rapid advances in artificial intelligence, giving rise to a society at once hopeful but also mistrustful of the possibilities that this technology offers. Our hopes and anxieties have played out across a variety of media in recent times, but arguably nowhere more significantly than on our screens.This book explores a phenomenon, which it calls the new AI cinema and television, arguing that since the mid-2010s, a distinctly new phase in the representation of AI has occurred. Discussing films such as Blade Runner 2049, Ex Machina and Ghost in the Shell alongside television series such as Westworld and Humans, it argues that they have moved away from apocalyptic scenarios towards questions of personhood, consciousness, and social inclusion and exclusion. In doing so, it intervenes in some of today's most pressing debates, including gender representation, AI ethics, climate catastrophe, and the rights of artificially intelligent beings.
