...PHILIPPINE THEATER Theater in the Philippines is as varied as the cultural traditions and the historical influences that shaped it through the centuries. The dramatic forms that flourished and continue to flourish among the different peoples of the archipelago include: the indigenous theater, mainly Malay in character, which is seen in rituals, mimetic dances, and mimetic customs; the plays with Spanish influence, among which are the komedya, the sinakulo, the playlets, the sarswela, and the drama; and the theater with Anglo-American influence, which encompasses bodabil and the plays in English, and the modern or original plays by Fihpinos, which employ representational and presentational styles drawn from contemporary modern theater, or revitalize traditional forms from within or outside the country. The Indigenous Theater The rituals, dances, and customs which are still performed with urgency and vitality by the different cultural communities that comprise about five percent of the country’s population are held or performed, together or separately, on the occasions of a person’s birth, baptism, circumcision, initial menstruation, courtship, wedding, sickness, and death; or for the celebration of tribal activities, like hunting, fishing, rice planting and harvesting, and going to war.

...Assignment Analyze how regionalism and nationalism are related to different modes of listening to the radio in the United States from 1920 to 1980. For long it has been discussed how the radio changed the American people – but this analysis is far too diverse and particular to each individual, since the United States have a wide arrange of ethnicity, religions, races, generations and other remarkable differences between different people. This essay will therefore focus on how the different modes of listening to the radio brought together different nation feelings to society in different timings and places. A Cornell scholar, Benedict Anderson, while reflecting about the emerge of nationalism in one country said one day that it had to be imagined, since all the nation elements and individuals may never meet one another and “yet in the mind of each lives the image of their communion”. The first notable change in general knowledge and feeling about a nation was conceived on the newspaper, that would allow several people to read the same stories about the nation and its people at the same time. The newspaper was the first proof of a country to a regular citizen that through it, would get to know people from distant lands with whom he would share his first sense of non-local community. The importance of the radio wasn’t shadowed by the newspaper’s prior timing. Radio added one more sense to the world of mass communication. The air around the device would tremble with ...

Even though the story concerning the closing of local park due to the fact of the city saving money might be considered important to the city and the people in the city, the story about the celebrity death will grab the attention of people to watch our television station which is something that we want as the media. Covering this sort of story will be an advantage of both traditional and non-traditional media, this goes for radio, newspaper, Internet and television. Its mainly about what sells and sometimes it is about what is important but as a news director this is not the case due the fact of choosing what is important to the television station, as a director and media. As a news director you know what is right for the people and for the television station as a whole. When viewing television, radio station and media through the Internet, the stories...

...A6-A Sabotaging Encounter Commentary Our group began the production, Dry Heave, by organizing each member’s role and identifying their involvement in each stage of the film. I chose director, in which my role was to oversee the film's artistic and dramatic aspects, while guiding the rest of the crew and actors. We did not have a scriptwriter, so I worked with the cinematographer and editor to create a realistic story, in terms of our equipment and cast. Being that our genre topic was Drama, we had a vision of it involving “high school drama.” We came up with the idea of two boys fighting over one girl, but we struggled in giving the film a meaningful ending. This is where the script supervisor and I came up with idea that the girl would be intentionally killed by one of the boys in revenge of her acting interested in both boys. I knew that we had to emphasis drama through facial expressions and body language, so I made sure to communicate with the cinematographer that in conversational shots we had to go CU or even ECU. Additionally, I collaborated with the set designer and cinematographer to construct a realistic high school environment. We agreed that we should utilize our schools locker area, workout facility, and parking lot to portray high school in a true sense. Once we moved into the production stage of the film, we found that construction noises were inhibiting the quality and consistency in the sound of the film. However, I suggested that we turn off the...

...to really analyze and dig deeper into this story. People seem to take reading this story into a whole different perspective. Even though the story may show different negative sides to humans you have to really understand the story to say this. Shakespeare is a very influential poet he persuades and explains to the readers a lot of different things in his poems and short stories. Shakespeare is basically in this story telling humans to be aware of their surroundings because you never know when something my go bad. While on the other hand Macbeth’s themes and other literary elements usually talks about the disaster of something or just tragedy. In my opinion, his whole story would be considered as a tragedy. In this play it shows a lot of drama and gives off a fiery but attractive tome that draws the reader into the theme in the play. Shakespeare’s is known as the encyclopedia of humanities as they examine the most realistic and controversial issues of human nature. Shakespeare’s describes Macbeth’s inhumanity and human nature, which continually struggles against the evils in his soul. “To be or not to be” is about the choices we make in our everyday lives. I think Macbeth sometimes shows the negative side of the human nature. This play shows the character of people. A poet once said, “Macbeth is an example of how power destroys personality and ruins one’s life, where the pursuit of absolute power of King Macbeth ends with establishment of justice and his death.” In this play...

...D. and the beginning of the Renaissance in approximately the 15th century A.D. Medieval theatre covers all drama produced in Europe over that thousand year period and refers to a variety of genres, including liturgical drama, mystery plays, morality plays, farces and masques. A theatrical performance in the Middle Ages was much more than just an example of a literary genre; it was often a social, religious, and commercial event affecting a whole community and involving not only the spoken word, but also spectacle, music, and even dance. 2. HIGH AND LATE MEDIEVAL THEATRE As the Viking invasions ceased in the middle of the 11th century A.D., liturgical drama had spread from Russia to Scandinavia to Italy. Only in Muslim-occupied Spain were liturgical dramas not presented at all. Despite the large number of liturgical dramas that have survived from the period, many churches would have only performed one or two per year and a larger number never performed any at all. The Feast of Fools was especially important in the development of comedy. The festival inverted the status of the lesser clergy and allowed them to ridicule their superiors and the routine of church life. Sometimes plays were staged as part of the occasion and a certain amount of burlesque and comedy crept into these performances. Although comic episodes had to truly wait until the separation of drama from the liturgy, the Feast of Fools undoubtedly had a profound effect on the development of comedy in both...

...To All Who Have Ears, Look! To All Who Have Ears, Look! Many couples want to show their love to the other. By ways by which the other might not understand, love is shown. The challenge to having a successful relationship is being able to interpret one’s love and how they show it. In a short play called I’m Going! A Comedy in One Act Tristan Bernard enlightens the audience on the struggle between couples who have not yet mastered the art of communication. He sets the stage in a couple’s apartment where a discussion regarding going to the races ensues. Bernard masterfully pits the two against each other. Why do these two people who are in love with each other seem to be making the other miserable? This very argument has taken place in my home between my husband and me. The appeal was the familiarity of the situation. This literary work is a typical farce or “a short play, in which both subtle humor and hilarity are developed through improbable situations, exaggeration and (often) ridiculous antics” (Clugston, 2010). Bernard exaggerates the argument beyond what might be probable in reality. As Jeanne and Henri seem to argue in a circular way, coming back to the same argument after it seems they have moved on to a conclusion, the humor is evident. The tone is one of frustration as felt by the reader. Anyone who has ever been in a relationship understands how frustrating it is to try to get your partner to see your side of the argument. As any...

...NAME: EMMANUEL ALICE LAMBAJO COURSE: STUDIES IN DRAMA QUESTION: ATTEMPT A DRAMATIC ANALYSIS OF THE PLAY ANTIGONE BY JEAN ANOUILH Dramatic analysis is the process of identifying the elements of the structure of a dramatic work such as a play, or film. There are six elements used when analyzing a drama which includes: exposition, inciting incidence, rising action, climax, falling action and the resolution. The exposition provides the background information needed to properly understand the story, such as the problem in the beginning of the story. It introduces the characters and the basic conflict in a play. Inciting incidence is an incidence which comes after the introduction of the characters and the basic conflicts. The rising action is when the basic internal conflict is complicated being the introduction of related secondary conflicts including various obstacles that frustrate the protagonist attempt to reach his goal. Climax, also referred to as turning point marks a change for the better or the worse in the protagonist affairs. Falling action therefore, is a moment of reversal after the climax. The conflict between the protagonists unravels with the protagonist winning or losing against the antagonist. Denouement, resolution or catastrophe comprises the event between the falling action and the actual ending scene of the drama. It serves as a conclusion of the story where the conflicts are resolved. Jean Anouilh’s Antigone is an adaptation of Sophocles’...
