...The play space is not school, and whilst learning may be an important playwork priority, what is even more important is how the child learns and whether s/he retains control over prioritising what is learnt. Play is a process of trial and error in which the error is as valuable to learning as is the success. Within playwork we generally define play as behaviour which is 'freely chosen', 'personally directed' and 'intrinsically motivated' (Hughes, 1984). The definition is seen as having authenticity by playworkers because it recognises not only the child-centredness of play, but its experimental nature (Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1967, 1970). (Hughes, 2001, p. 97) Playwork, as defined in Bonel and Lindon (1996) as 'managing the play environment and providing the resources which enable children's play' (p. 15), for example, by identifying and emphasising play as a powerful biological force which, I believe may only be subsumed into any particular social model at the expense of the children it is attempting to serve. (Hughes, 2001, p. xx) Else and Sturrock (1998) get closer, by defining playwork as 'work[ing] with children in the expansion of their potential to explore and experience through play'. (Brown, 2002, p. 81) Adult supervisors need to be trained observers who understand how to guide children when needed and who are wise enough to then stand back and let children play. While we take precautions to provide safe, challenging, stimulating playgrounds, we understand that risk is inherent...

...Ch8 Study Guide 1. Directors started having rehearsals to work on the play as well as trying to make a more organized and natural approach to staging rather than the artificial acting style that was being used. Actor-managers and pageant masters were in charge of the play before directors. Actor-managers had little concern for a production that was unified, unlike directors who believe the acting should be unified. 2. Gesamtkunstwerk literally means “total art work”. The union of all the theatrical elements to create a thematically unified stage work. Richard Wagner developed the term. It unified the theatrical work and set the tone and mood for the characters. 3. A) Weimer Classicism: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is related to this type of movement. He made rules for actors to follow on stage so the piece would be well-composed. All the actors had to read the text together rather than memorizing it on their own. B) Meiningen Players: Georg II, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, ran this company. He wanted his costumes and setting to be very accurate to history. Crowd scenes displayed each actor as an individual character, while at the same time working in unison with the other actors. C) Naturalism: Andre Antoine used naturalism in his productions. In La Terre he used real hay and live chickens in a farm scene. He also used natural lights from candles showing that a real barn is being presented. 4. A) Choosing the Text: This is the first job of the directors. They may...

...No one should ever work. Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world. Almost any evil you’d care to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to stop working. That doesn’t mean we have to stop doing things. It does mean creating a new way of life based on play; in other words, a ludic conviviality, commensality, and maybe even art. There is more to play than child’s play, as worthy as that is. I call for a collective adventure in generalized joy and freely interdependent exuberance. Play isn’t passive. Doubtless we all need a lot more time for sheer sloth and slack than we ever enjoy now, regardless of income or occupation, but once recovered from employment-induced exhaustion nearly all of us want to act. Oblomovism and Stakhanovism are two sides of the same debased coin. The ludic life is totally incompatible with existing reality. So much the worse for “reality,” the gravity hole that sucks the vitality from the little in life that still distinguishes it from mere survival. Curiously—or maybe not—all the old ideologies are conservative because they believe in work. Some of them, like Marxism and most brands of anarchism, believe in work all the more fiercely because they believe in so little else. Liberals say we should end employment discrimination. I say we should end employment. Conservatives support right-towork laws. Following Karl Marx’s wayward son-in-law Paul Lafargue I support the right to...

...Georgina Whitman 1/20/11 Play Play is something universal that can be done anywhere, at any time, and at any age. It is one of those things that have no language barrier. But what kind of play is the most important? After reading three articles that deal with different kinds of play such as deep play, play at work, and children’s play, otherwise known as child’s play, I believe G. Stanley Hall’s “The Story of a Sand Pile” shows that children’s play just may be the most important. Compared to deep play and play at work, children’s play seems to have no disadvantages or repercussions. Children’s play also can shape kids’ creativity and imagination. But what these three different types of play have in common is the fact that they bring everyone closer together. In “Deep Play: Notes on the Balinese Cockfight” the Balinese men use cocks in a type of play called cockfighting. A cockfight is a type of blood sport in which two cocks are put into an arena to duke it out against one another. The winner is obviously the last one standing. But what good comes out of this type of play? Although there are winners in these types of sports or any sport for that matter, losers are present also. The loser is often the one who is left with the repercussions. They have to deal with their emotion after the loss as well as scrutiny from others. This may be something hard to cope with as they are not used to this kind of thing. That is why child’s play is much better and more important. When...

...August 25, 2010 Let Them Play By Jane Ching Fung ”What is 'Choice Time?,'" she demanded. "Students don’t have time to play." My heart sank when I heard these words coming from the mouth of a district administrator. Everyone on our kindergarten team had included "Choice" minutes in her daily schedule. Choice was a time for students to engage in centers and activities that were not teacher directed, assigned, or graded but intentionally designed to be open-ended, student driven, and to promote unstructured interactions among the children. Dare I say that "Choice" was time set aside for our young students to play? Since when did the word "play" become outlawed in kindergarten? I remember a time when kindergarten classrooms were stocked with wooden blocks, paint, and dramatic-play corners complete with costuming, furniture, appliances, and play food. Not so long ago, there was a period during the day when we encouraged kindergarten students to freely explore, create, and interact with the materials and people around them. On the surface, children may appear to be only "having fun" during this unstructured time, but take a closer look and you’ll discover what I know: Play is so much more than idle entertainment. Play, including the ability to make your own choices, helps children develop and use essential social-emotional and academic-learning skills. Through play, I have seen my students develop social, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities in a safe, risk-free...

...In many minds play is for children, we are meant to leave play behind as we become adults; grow up, work and leave it behind us. During a weekend visit to Tucson I interviewed fifteen seniors; ten live in a non-profit senior community similar to assisted living and the other five live in a trailer park designated for residents over fifty five where my mother lives. Embarking on this project, speaking with seniors, discussing their responses and having them elaborate on their thinking in some cases, shed light on the diversity of thought about what play is, what prevents it, and how it fit in their lives over the decades. Of the fifteen seniors I interviewed, eleven were female and four were men, their ages varied from sixty five to ninety...

...When the young playwright Arthur Miller began writing All My Sons, he was embarking on a project that would be either the beginning or the end of his career. His first and only play to be produced on Broadway, The Man Who Had All the Luck, was an unmitigated failure, lasting only four performances. A practical man who had lived through the depression, Miller decided to give himself one more chance. If he did not have success with his next play, then he would quit the business and find "another line of work." In the meantime, Tennessee Williams had met great success with The Glass Menagerie in 1945, a very personal and psychological play with poetic overtones. Miller's plays, on the other hand, are public works, with straightforward (though not unpoetic) language, and which address issues of the individual's public persona and how people act. But he learned from Williams's success and set out to write a more commercial play, a drama that would "land" with audiences, in the language of the Broadway business. He also chose to write a play in a realistic style, a problem play in the manner of Henrik Ibsen, evoking a style he had not used in many years. The work of Ibsen influenced All My Sons structurally as well, for Ibsen had liberally applied the principle of Greek theater that stresses the influence of the past on the present. When the play was finished after five years of work, Miller asked his agent to send it to the director Elia Kazan. A former member of the Communist...

...Pro athletes play games all the time from football to basketball but many athletes have a problem with how much they should get paid. In my opinion, I believe that they should get paid a good bit of money. I believe this because, they work hard there whole life at that one thing to have success in life. They are almost the same as actors, and they try hard to get there. So lets give them credit for what they do and who they are. Pro athletes work hard their whole life to become famous and accomplish there dreams. That means they play sports their whole life to be super successful and likely work hard in school too. So basically they try hard and meet their goal through doing things that they like to such as school work and long days of practice, but if they want to be a pro they have to try very hard to get there. All them goals, achievements, and successful things they do should afford them a desired salary. In my research, the players get paid based on the sport they play and what I mean by that is they get paid a different amount of money for each sport which shows some work harder than others but they all work hard in my opinion. So basically, they all work hard during all parts of life to make it there. These...

...Shakespeare's plays are largely divided into three parts. Tragedy, comedy and histories. So I'll only be a problem here. Shakespeare plays Should belong to one part? The answer is a tragedy. In some it may even be questioned. Why dealing with the past, Roman histories is not it? My answer to this is simple. This is because all classifications published after Shakespeare's 'First Folio (First Folio)' it is based on. (The First Folio was published the first time Shakespeare's complete works, it is based on a manuscript of Shakespeare 0.2 All plays are recorded was minus the work is a collection which is in fact today the basic work of all Shakespeare also one of today's most expensive book.) First classification of the portfolio is simple: Once happy with the hero comedy, tragedy ends with the death of the hero, and British history, precisely when the King of England plays on histories. Today, Shakespeare's histories of groups mean plays on the kings of England....

...Doran I had not expected to laugh at Hamlet, as much as I did at the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 2009 production of Hamlet. Director, Gregory Doran, does the play an informative justice and favourable effort at guiding the perspective of the audience into focus of certain character’s monologue. This, along with the strings of time being interwoven with the set designs and costumes, adds many more layers than other works by the Royal Shakespeare Company. With these layers and additions, Gregory Doran creates an emphatic and enthusiastic version of Hamlet that, although most modern, can be viewed as the most popular of the few. It had been unusual to me to see such stars as David Tennant and Patrick Stewart bolstering as their respective Hamlet and Claudius. To start, Tennant I found to be the utmost enrapturing version of Hamlet I had witnessed. Tennant uses his limber body to express his emotional responses in every frame he exists within. In (Hamlet, 1.2.4) before and after he discovers news of his Father’s Ghost, Tennant expresses rage, sadness, excitement and doubt, within a few minutes of dialogue. It is here, where you the viewer, are first gazed upon by the nature of the actor, and the rawness you are intended to feel. I compare the eye contact to the effect of being a member of the audience in a stage play. It resembles the notion that a character that addresses outward from the stage, into the crowd, that said character is speaking directly to you. It obviously differs...

...College Course Instructor Date Law in The Merchant of Venice The works of William Shakespeare have always been the most favorite of the readers. His works are not just written in beautiful and poetic language, but touches different problems, actual in every period. Shakespeare’s works are full of sense and poetry; they are able to evoke deep feelings and make consider our life from different perspectives. The present paper is devoted to the discussion of The Merchant of Venice and the problem of law and justice that Shakespeare discusses in it. The Merchant of Venice is one the most famous Shakespearian works, where the theme of law is carefully discussed and it seen through the whole play, either implicitly oк openly. The merchant of Venice is of course, clearly “legal” in content. Virtually this play is tangentially concerned with certain aspect of the law and in the play; Shakespeare uses complex legal jargon and vocabulary to elicit a laugh. This play is closely connected with the theme of law, and it is not surprising that the interdisciplinary learning of law and Shakespeare has grown into a completely recognized field, with main law schools offering the advanced degrees. The Merchant of Venice “ is the first play that evoked so lively discussions among the lawyers more than any other Shakespeare play. It is possible to find a discussion of each legal concept discussed in the play, a detailed legal analysis of the trial scene, presented in Act IV and...
