Abstract:

During the span of thirty years from 1968 - 1997 the Western Australian Opera Company grew from its infancy into a major regional performance group. Its significant contribution to the local entertainment industry is not solely the presentation of opera but also its support and fostering of technical theatre training in Western Australia.

Abstract:

This creative project focuses on the research, planning, design and field-testing of a kit of basic architectural elements that can be used to build simple spaces and small constructions. These elements are reusable, easy to handle, and allow for a nearly infinite number of configurations.The environment in which the system was developed is a setting of an improvisational outdoor theatre, called 'Live-Action-Role-playing-Games'- (LARP). Therefore the system does not provide a high quality indoor space, but rather focuses on the critical requirements of theatrical stages, such as flexibility, e

Abstract:

This study provides an examination and application of heterotopic dérive, a concept that combines spatial theories originated by Foucault and psychogeographical methods advocated by the Situationists, as enacted within theatrical performance spaces. The first chapter reviews theories related to space, place, and heterotopias, as well as the psychogeographical methods of the Situationists, particularly the dérive. The literature review is augmented with accounts of my experiences of serendipitous heterotopic dérive over a period of several years as a cast member in, or a technical director fo

Abstract:

This thesis documents my creative process as the Production Designer on the feature length micro budget film The Last Two Years of David Brachman, written and directed by Marc Casilli. The film is a dark comedy chronicling the life of David Brachman, a twenty-five year old with a stagnant life that is seemingly leading nowhere, as he pledges on his twenty-fifth birthday to change the path of his life in the next two years or commit suicide if he fails. The overall design concept of the film is rooted in realism, but allowed to contain elements that will remove the audience in order to lig

Abstract:

The following thesis aims to investigate the structure of the left periphery of the sentence, focussing on scene setting adverbs. In the introduction I will be discussing the structure of the left periphery, starting from Rizzi's (1997) analysis and the Cartographic approach. I will be then examining the structure of Topic and Focus, including studies on both Italian and Russian. In the third chapter scene setting adverbs will be analyzed. I will take into account studies on their position in both main sentences and embedded clauses. I will then move on to a comparative analysis between Italia

Abstract:

The correspondence and antagonisms between writing and looking and fiction and painting were continually being explored by James, and this thesis continues that exploration, but with a view to seeing how the analogies collapse, writing and seeing often becoming interchangeable activities. This thesis is concerned with visual anxiety, the circulation of textuality and the construction of female identity in James, and, by extension, it also discusses the anxiety or 'blindness' of James's readers. My argument draws heavily on both the theory of the visual and anamorphosis discussed in Jacques Lac

Non-francophone teachers of French as a second or additional language (FSL) often struggle with overwhelming oral anxiety, consequent low self-confidence, and workplace marginalisation. Core French or Basic French teachers, in particular, and their subjects have been undervalued (Carr, 2007; Lapkin, McFarlane, & Vandergrift, 2006; Richards, 2002). Moreover, recent national FSL research points to challenges in the areas of teacher attrition, lack of methodological and /or linguistic preparation, and lack of professional development opportunities in the FSL context (Karsenti, 2008; Salvatori,

During the 500th Commemoration of the Reformation in 2017 a huge emphasis was placed on the main Reformation characters of 1517, especially Martin Luther. Those that preceded him were side-lined. Jan Huss was hardly mentioned, although the 600th anniversary of his execution by fire was only two years earlier, in 2015. Valdes of Lyon did not feature at all. This study shows that this lay person, Valdes, about whom hardly anything is known, had a significant impact on the 16th Century Reformation. This impact is not immediately obvious.

This dissertation demonstrates that seventeenth-century dramatists and theatrical practitioners invented a dazzling series of specialized technologies for representing space.

The selection was made in light of each set designer’s unique design concepts for The Magic Flute which were all realised as stage settings in a proscenium arch theatre.

In 1945, with the published version of The Glass Menagerie, Williams launched his theory of 'plastic theatre,' a theatrical mode that would, he believed, answer the problems he perceived in American war-time theatre, a
