Abstract:

In this chapter, the author talks about his teaching of somatic yoga for relief of trauma, supporting this with current research on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and including parts of his own story with PTSD. He has been practicing yoga since 1992 and expands his bodily pursuits through an active intellectual life. Here he offers an in-depth discussion based on research and his personal experience of the role of body consciousness in trauma and traumatic illnesses. He explores various ways to develop conscious embodiment in focused, restorative, and ultimately safe ways through engage

Abstract:

In the late 1970s, the Mexican ensemble Atrás del Cosmos, a pioneering free improvisation collective (1975–1983), held an eight-month residency at El Galeón, a city theater. Jazz and experimental theater were twin touchstones for the ensemble, which adapted ideas borrowed from Alejandro Jodorowsky, a Chilean expatriate known for his radical influence on the city’s 1960s theater scene, including the notion that theatrical performance should shatter social decorum and elicit liberating ways of being-in-the-world. For Atrás del Cosmos, art’s transformative potential also lay in articulating a per

This chapter focuses on the decline of the Pekin Theater after Robert T. Motts's death. Motts had died intestate. Chicago's Municipal Court assigned the settling of his estate to Judge Charles S. Cutting. The case seemed simple enough at first. Only one lawyer, Edward E. Wilson, represented all those who initially presented themselves as next of kin. But almost immediately another black lawyer, J. Gray Lucas, presented a suit on behalf of further claimants to the Motts fortune. This chapter first discusses the court hearings over Motts's estate that involved delving into his family history to

Abstract:

In the ruins of World War II, culture was meant to mend the spiritual wounds and traumatic losses of everyday life by providing meanings and orientations unscathed by the functionalization of aesthetic culture during the Nazi era. This article focuses on the culture ballgame cast under the shadow of trauma raged by the war and its aftermath. Art, literature, theater, film, and music, in both emerging Germanys, were no doubt embraced as conduits for a resurrection of the spirit. However, the traumas left by the immediate past led artistic practitioners and their recipients alike to believe that

This chapter focuses on the downturn in the urban theater business from the late 1920s. It begins by considering the lull in theater activities during the sixteen-month-long boycott-strike in Hong Kong and the revival immediately thereafter. The two seasons from 1926 to 1928 were marked by strong competition and sustained profitability among the city companies. The ensuing downturn was stunning, to say the least; one disappointing season after another, long-established xiban gongsi closed down, opera troupes went bankrupt, and actors struggled with unemployment.

A detailed re-examination of Midway, one of the most significant battles in the Pacific Theater of World War II. In April 1942, the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy was at the zenith of its power. It had struck a severe blow against the US Navy at Pearl Harbor in December 1941, before spearheading the Japanese advance through Southeast Asia and rampaging across the South Pacific. Only a few months later, in June 1942, the US Navy managed to inflict a decisive defeat on this mighty force off Midway Atoll and the strategic initiative in the Pacific Theater passed to the US Navy.

The last days of fighting in the Civil War's eastern theater have been wrapped in mythology since the moment of Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House.

But this volume of essays by leading scholars of the Civil War era offers a fresh and nuanced view of the eastern war's closing chapt

Ancient tragedy has played a well-documented role in contemporary theatre since the mid-twentieth century.

It analyses receptions of Greek and Roman tragedy that come under the banner of ‘postdramatic theatre’, a style of performance in which the traditional components of drama, such as character and narrative, are subordinate to the immediate, affe

This chapter discusses an important trait of the Israeli theatre. It is inherently political by nature and it springs from and constantly reflects the complex realities of modern Israeli society: the continual wars, the innumerable cease-fires, ad hoc peace agreements, territorial occupations, military operations in response to terrorist attacks, and painful and disappointing attempts to reach permanent agreements and peace in the region. It is not surprising then that Israeli playwrights and directors who have searched for a suitable response to the Six Day War and the occupation have chosen

It argues that the careers of Mary Wigman, Gret Palucca, Marianne Vogelsang, Jean Weidt, and Fritz Böhme prove that there was no Stunde Null in dance—there was no successful de-nazification process. Nazified dance concepts—together with their proponents— continued well into the 1950s until a new generation gradually emerged to face the burden of the Nazi past with its ideological baggage; some carry that baggage of their teachers to the present day.

Abstract Modernism after the Ballets Russes recovers the striking yet understudied role that Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes played in the development of modernist theatre in Britain. Diaghilev’s company holds a renowned position in modernism across various arts. Yet its contributions to dramatic literature and dramaturgy have remained surprisingly elusive. This book establishes the Ballets Russes as an integral part of British theatre history, revealing how the company’s avant-garde repertoire inspired the creation of new composition strategies and performance techniques that privileged the

This conclusion examines the importance of Woolman’s theology for studies of eighteenth-century Quakerism and colonial theology. Woolman’s apocalypticism and his incorporation of spiritualist themes resulted in an inward spirituality that claimed ultimate authority over human affairs. The themes in Woolman’s theology show that at least some eighteenth-century Quakers maintained a dissenting identity that expected an imminent eschatological resolution to their social angst. Moreover, Woolman’s theology was similar to other colonial voices in its spiritualist emphasis, but the immediacy of Woolm

Scenic representations in the arts and cultural practices create countless forms of contact.

This is achieved just as much through closeness and detachment and illusions of immediacy, or of an infectious or spellbinding nature as through forms of imagery, conceptuality and corporeality.
