Qualities of theatre
The document discusses the three basic elements of theatre - the text, performance, and audience. It explores how these elements interact and influence each other. The text can take many forms from plays to improvisation. The performance brings the text to life through elements like acting, design, and staging. The audience completes the experience and provides feedback through their engagement. Theatrical works exist on a spectrum from popular entertainment to challenging avant-garde works, and economics plays a role in who can access and appreciate live performances.

Reflection Paper On Theatre
Theatre plays an important role in society by allowing self-expression, sharing history and culture, and promoting higher thinking. Many playwrights use drama to reflect contemporary society and teach lessons, creating catharsis and community for audiences. While television rose, theatre has continued as entertainment and an artistic medium, with plays often exploring social issues and human emotions.

The document discusses strategies for museums to cultivate meaningful engagement with cultural audiences through conversation and collaboration, examining how museums can move from being places that simply interpret cultural inheritance to becoming public squares that foster open discussions and welcome participation from visitors in interpreting artworks and cultural objects. It also explores how museums can optimize visitor experiences through approaches like identifying visitor motivations, providing interpretive materials focused on ideas, objects, or people, creating opportunities for flow states and epiphanies, and giving visitors a voice.

Essay On Epic Theater
The document discusses the relationship between theatre and politics and how it has evolved. It refers to Brecht's epic theatre as challenging Aristotle's approach by integrating economics and politics into plays to stimulate intellectual response in audiences rather than emotional response. The document also discusses how Brecht sought to dismantle the traditional naturalistic theatre and its illusion of reality by creating a new drama based on critiquing the ideological assumptions of bourgeois theatre.

The document discusses a museum's efforts to get visitors to provide comments and feedback on an art exhibition through a blog on the museum's website. Over 400 comments were received from over 200,000 page views, but comments only represented 2% of total blog visitors. The comments provided some useful insights but the discussion lacked depth and meaningful dialogue between visitors and the museum. Moving forward, the museum hopes to better facilitate genuine discussions between experts and novices and bridge the cultural divide through new approaches beyond just a blog.
Chapter 1: Theatre, Art, and Entertainment
The document discusses the definitions of art and theatre. It defines art as a skill, act of beauty, and human expression that selectively recreates reality. Theatre is defined as a "seeing place" where a performance takes place. Drama tells stories about people in conflict. Both theatre and drama are live, about human beings, and collaborative art forms. Common categories of theatre discussed include commercial, historical, political, experimental, and cultural theatre. The document contrasts how art challenges audiences and examines life critically, while entertainment aims to gratify and indulge without intellectual demands.

1) Art is performed by everyone in many forms and is essential to society. It allows people to express themselves and communicate with others.
2) Creating art allows people to focus their minds and better understand their experiences and surroundings. It tells stories and conveys emotions in a profound way.
3) Art has existed for thousands of years, dating back to early humans drawing pictures in caves. It has continued to evolve over time but remains a vital part of human culture and expression.
Public History: 25 Years, 5 Questions
This document discusses the evolution of public history over the past 25 years through examining 5 key questions: who, what, when, where, and why. It explores how perspectives have shifted from experts dictating public taste to embracing more diverse audiences and viewpoints. Museums are transforming from authorities of static content to platforms for generative sharing and social interaction where visitors can become users. The field has broadened its focus from the past alone to engaging relevant communities and stories for today.
Identity 2
This document provides information about a course on identity, including contact details for the lecturer, class times, assessment details, and required readings and resources. Students are expected to submit their first assignment, an illustrated written piece on their identities, by March 15th. The document also shares examples of artworks addressing themes of self-portraits and identity, including works by Ema Tavola, Albrecht Dürer, Kazimir Malevich, and Frida Kahlo. Concepts around reflexive identity from sociologist Anthony Giddens are discussed.

Theatre Definition Essay
Here are a few key reflections on my experience with theatre this semester:
- I've gained a deeper appreciation for all of the work that goes into a theatrical production. Directing taught me about the immense responsibility of overseeing all aspects of a show from conception to performance.
- Working directly with actors helped me understand how to give clear, thoughtful direction to help bring out their best work. Building trust and finding the humanity in each character were important lessons.
- The technical rehearsal process opened my eyes to the coordination required between all production elements. It's rewarding to see a fully-realized vision come to life on stage.
- Exploring different theatrical styles and conventions increased my understanding of how to craft authentic performances
Online04 chapter3
The document discusses the importance of the audience in theatre. It begins by explaining that the actor-audience relationship is unique and dynamic, as each performance is influenced by the audience. It then provides a brief history of audiences from ancient Greek/Roman times to modern contemporary audiences. It notes that audience trends have declined in recent decades. The document concludes by outlining some "rules of being a good audience member."

Pushing at the Margins: Intentional Innovation for Managers
This document discusses opportunities for managers to intentionally innovate projects at museums. It outlines four opportunities: 1) treating new projects as experiments, 2) empowering staff as experience designers, 3) building digital and museum literacy into projects, and 4) creating a workplace culture. It also presents five "useful dialectics" to consider when innovating projects: transformation vs. change, network vs. hierarchy, design vs. tradition, literacy vs. fluency, and culture vs. values. The document provides discussion on each of these topics and questions for managers to ask themselves to guide intentional innovation on new projects.
Museums and Digital Technologies
Four trends are accelerating change in U.S. museums: 1) indoor navigation and location-based services, 2) new ways of seeing like 360 video, 3D, AR, VR, 3) external pressure from grassroots initiatives and network effects on social media, 4) internal pressure to undergo a digital transformation and develop a digital culture. Museums are experimenting with technologies like indoor maps, augmented and virtual reality to improve the visitor experience, while social media activism and informal networks also influence museums to change and adopt digital strategies.
2016.12.07 Jewish Museum lecture
This document discusses four trends accelerating change in U.S. museums in 2016: indoor navigation, new technologies like 360 video and VR/AR/MR, external pressure from grassroots initiatives, and internal pressure to undergo digital transformation. It provides examples of how museums are implementing indoor navigation apps, using new technologies to enhance visitor experiences, and responding to activist campaigns. It also examines how museums are shifting to network organizational models and the challenges of building a digital culture within institutions.

NMC Future of Museums Virtual Conference - Crowdsourcing
The author does not like to use the term "crowdsourcing" because it implies taking advantage of or exploiting the crowd for one's own purposes. It makes the crowd sound like a natural resource to be mined rather than acknowledging the relationship between those asking for and receiving help. Crowdsourcing and related ideas are significant because they move people away from seeing audiences as passive visitors and toward seeing them as active co-creators and partners who can form longer term relationships.

New Media, Cthulu, & the Adjacent Possible
Ed Rodley discusses new media in museums. He provides a brief history of new media, from screens and television to computers and the internet. Rodley explains that old media do not disappear with new media, but take on new roles, similar to H.P. Lovecraft's character Cthulhu continuing to influence from death. Rodley also discusses the concept of the "adjacent possible" and how it relates to new media's potential to reinvent itself at the edges of present capabilities. Museums are experimenting with new media like games, 3D scanning and printing, and interactive digital experiences to engage audiences where they are already using media.
MCN 2012 Blog session
Ed Rodley's blog post discusses how blogging has evolved from a personal notebook to a way to share ideas and bring new ideas to colleagues. Blogging allows one to explore ideas with interested people and connect with people worldwide. While operating without an institutional persona can be tricky, blogging has helped the author learn that content is still king and people are hungry for reports from the field. The blog discusses blogging as a form of personal and professional development.
Matching the Media to the Message
Ed Rodley gave a talk on matching media to messages in museum exhibits. He discussed the Museum of Science's exhibit development process, which includes figuring out goals, learning content, prototyping experiences, and evaluating the final exhibit. Rodley also described how the Star Wars exhibit utilized over 120 artifacts, video, and interactives to convey its messages about science and technology. He emphasized choosing media based on clear goals and criteria rather than any single technology.
Looking Down vs. Looking Around: Process design for mobile experiences
The document discusses different types of mobile experiences that museums can develop, including in-gallery multimedia tours, in-museum scavenger hunts and tours, wayfinding apps, augmented reality campaigns, and standalone field guide apps. It emphasizes that the type of mobile experience should be clear and appropriate for the capabilities of mobile devices like touchscreens, GPS, and sensors. Successful mobile apps will take advantage of these capabilities and provide an engaging experience, story, or access to content for audiences. The document encourages museums to launch initial mobile projects now rather than waiting, and to continuously update and improve apps over time.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used.
