The plaza and the small concert hall are suited to a wide range of music and theatre performances. All these forms of entertainment are examples of the performing arts.

...(programme coordinator): ‘No performances have been planned for 11 and 12 March 2000, a weekend. Since he is one of the best known Dutch comedians, we thought Tom Hek might be willing to give two more performances at our theatre. But he thinks the five performances planned for May 2000 are sufficient proof of his love of Groningen. Well, I have just been told by a theatrical agency that a Latvian company is going to stage the operetta ‘Der Bettelstudent’ in the Netherlands in March 2000. The agency is asking €22,500,- for two performances – on Saturday and Sunday. I think we should accept this offer. We could price our tickets at €25 each and if each performance draws an audience of 450, we will break even. Just do your sums: 2 x 450 x €25 = €22,500,-’. Jan Dekker (controller): ‘But we had set aside that weekend in March for a big overhaul of the theatre. The theatre is pretty booked up for that period and the technical staff wants to carry out various small repairs’. Karin: ‘Come on Jan, surely you would not leave the theatre empty for a weekend during the high season?’. Jan: ‘Karin, there is something else to consider. We probably would not sell much more than 450 tickets per performance, although I believe we must make a sizeable sum out of that sort of performance’. Harm van Tol (director): ‘I think Jan has a valid point there. Operettas must bring in a good deal of money to cover deficits caused by less marketable performances. But leaving that aside, we have...

...2013 Mark Courtice Chief Executive Officer Theatre Royal Of Winchester Jewry Street Winchester SO23 8SB Dear Mr Courtice, Re: Analysis of the Royal Theatre of Winchesters competitive market forces Further to our recent meeting, I have undertaken an analysis of the macroeconomic market affecting the theatre of Winchester as well as the competitive environment of the market the theatre operates. Further an analyse of the theatre it self has been conducted, and assessed the theatres ability to deal with this changes. Below you will find an outline of the two most significant factors impacting the theatre. An area for concern is the decrease in disposable income for the AB-socio economic group. This is where most of the customers to local theatres can be found and it have resulted in customers being more aware of its spending. Furthermore, customers might choose a competitive product such as a cinema ticket instead due a lower price. As a result of the increased unemployment in the UK, as well as the decreased disposable income consumers may defer trips to the theatre regarding the difficult economic climate. The reluctance to spend money on theatre tickets increases the risk posed by substitutes to the theatre of Winchester. Possible substitutes are: west end theatres, cinemas, TV shows, new technology and big events. Additional, there are several other theatres in UK, which can offer the same actors and plays as Theatre of Winchester, in a similar size and setting...

...is paid and given to the developments and happenings of the theatre scene, I am delighted to have taken up this module to expose myself to this topic on drama. First and foremost, I must admit that I have never attended a single theatre performance and Blue Boy was the first in the twenty three years of my life. I was filled with excitement and anticipation both at the same time, wondering if I would even manage to interpret the idea behind the whole daunting concept of Mise en Scène. True enough, I went home that night with many questions floating in my head. The following report nonetheless describes my interpretation as a first time audience. Experiences of the Performance It was a bit tense going into the performance as a role of a student as certain expectations were already instilled beforehand. I was expected to take note of not only the space and the staging of the play, but also the aesthetics of the building itself. It was as if I had to make sure I had every aspect and element of the theatre covered. As scary as it might have sound, it turned out to be rather fruitful as I had my eyes glued onto the surroundings, seeing and experiencing what other audiences might not have even thought about- the design of the stage, the lighting, the layout of the theatre, the configuration of the seats etc. The Blue Boy is a co-production with Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival. The publicity of the Dublin Theatre Festival is quite prominent with advertisement posters decorating...

...in the inflow of cash while the outflow continues to rise whereby putting the financial status of the hall at risk. The factors responsible for the decline of the state of the hall are both Internal and external, this paper seeks to identify, analyze and provide possible solutions to these problems as the hall holds a potential for growth. Rebranding itself to be functional with the changes of its target market in terms of their needs and preferences, the hall would be seen in a different light communicated through the new experience it would offer and its high service quality. With the implementation of a new marketing strategy, the hall also seeks to expand in terms of popularity, customer base and sales. SITUATION ANALYSIS ORGANISATIONAL ANALYSIS Lincolnshire’s best kept secret, the Grimsby central hall was not always filled with silent halls as it is now, the center for art and events was an historical and cultural heritage for the people of Grimsby back in the early 80’s where it earned its popularity from the influx of people that visited the sea port close to it. Located in a rundown area, it has become very difficult to promote and maintain the hall with the available resources and this has caused the managers to consider closing the hall. For an establishment that has been in existence for over 70 years, business sustainability becomes very important. Business sustainability should be captured as more than a process by which firms manage their financial, social...

...tolerance of the arts provides a level of security unavailable before. The rise of modern theatre was born, however, in a period of political turmoil. During the Russian revolution, another revolution was started: a revolution of theatre. Konstantine Stanislavski is credited as the father of modern theatre. He developed the first documented system of acting known as “the method.” Method acting has revolutionized all aspects of theatre including costume, set design and directing. Directing was also established by Stanislavski but only as a byproduct of his illustrious acting technique (See Figure 1). He positioned himself as a director and guide to implement an acting method (Stanislavski). Years passed before the formal title of director appeared on the playbill. Of the thousands of years theatre has existed only within the past century has the director been considered a necessary part of theatre production. In modern theatre, the director is exalted. They are considered the authority for any creative decision. However, the director can do nothing without the actors. Directors are completely dependent upon others to express their message. This connection creates artistic progression but not without friction. Some experts do not believe directors are necessary in theatre, and it is true. Actors can provide an entertaining and meaningful performance without a director. Theatre has been thriving for millennia without one. The director does not make the production...

All Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District (MSBSD) Charter School programs are open to student’s applications who reside within the school district. Starting a charter school is truly a community effort. However, the rewards we may find by creating a new educational option for children are well worth the effort. The first question we want to answer is why do we want to start a charter school? As a charter developer, we need to have a clear answer to this question. Matanuska-Susitna Valley residents desire a school that provides a rich and comprehensive educational program for students with talents and potential in dance, instrumental music, vocal music, theatre, and visual art or media arts.

...Executive summary Theatre is one of the oldest and most intriguing forms of performance arts. Since time immemorial, it has served as a source of recreation that has delighted as well as inspired audience in equal measure. It has also made immense contributions to other industries, not in the least, the incredibly popular movie industry which owes not only most of its best actors, but its very identity as a whole to the field of theatre. However, with increasing and more easily available avenues for entertainment and rampant commercialisation, the theatre industry has been crowded out and faces a tough challenge for survival as of now. We at ITDB have a dream to revive Indian Theatre to its glorious past and we wish to achieve this using data analytics and IT services to theatre community - producers, Playwrights, customers as well as aspiring actors - so that they have an easy one stop destination for all their theatre needs; and producers have a better understanding of what to play, where to play it and whom to play it for. Products/services Primarily we plan to offer a website itdb.com, which would contain services such as: - * Database of Theatre plays, Artists, playwrights etc. (Similar to that of IMDB). * Data analytics and visualization capabilities for producers and playwrights, who would like to forecast the script, revenue and viewership of their future...

...METATHEATRE in A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM Course : Approfondissement Shakespeare ; theatre, meta-theatre and pact of performance Professor : F. MARCH Student: Louize Zara Dierickx (Erasmus Belgium) Course : Approfondissement Shakespeare ; theatre, meta-theatre and pact of performance Professor : F. MARCH Student: Louize Zara Dierickx (Erasmus Belgium) INTRODUCTION During the Elizabethan era meta-theatre was often used in plays to obtain the interest and participation (imagination) from the audience. Also Shakespeare used a lot of metaphors and references to theatre in his plays. In this research paper we will study the use of meta-theatre in Shakespeare’s famous play A Midsummer Night’s Dream. First, the term ‘meta-theatre’ will be explained. Then, the period in which meta-theatre was an important aspect of theatre, also Shakespeare’s period, namely the Elizabethan Era, will be discussed. Finally, a number of specific scenes in the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be analysed. Midsummer night’s dream is a romantic comedy. The play has 2 levels: the human world, which takes place during the day, and the fairy world, which takes place at night. In the human world the story is about 4 young people, searching their way to true love, as well as about a theatre company, preparing a play for the coming wedding of the king and queen. At the fairy level, the fairy king and queen quarrel about their marriage. These two levels are combined by a love potion, which...
