Introduction to south african theatre 101 grd 10
This document summarizes the history of theater in South Africa under apartheid. It describes how black African languages and performances were oppressed and banned, and audiences were segregated by race. The national government controlled broadcasting and censorship, allowing only "safe" plays that did not challenge apartheid policies. Indigenous performance was ignored before 1948, and the National Party that came to power that year began implementing apartheid laws that disempowered black South Africans and encouraged Afrikaans language and theater. The full impact of these policies was felt in the 1970s, and theater began to change after Nelson Mandela's release from prison in 1990 marked the beginning of the end of apartheid.

The bald soprano (characters + writer )
Eugène Ionesco was a leading 20th century French absurdist playwright. His most famous play, The Bald Soprano, subverts conventions by having a plotless dialogue between characters that discuss inconsequential topics without meaning or logic. The play features the Smiths, a boring suburban couple, and their guests the Martins. Through empty conversations, Ionesco satirizes concepts like communication, rational thinking, and gender norms. The play highlights the absurdity and banality of everyday life.
Slam Poetry
This document discusses slam poetry, which is a competitive style of performance poetry where poets perform their original works for an audience who then scores the poems. It was invented in 1984 to make poetry more accessible and interesting to broader audiences. The document considers arguments for and against slam poetry, such as whether performance or written quality is more important. It also discusses whether humor and emotion could engage audiences at slam poetry events. Teachers believe slam poetry could keep students interested in poetry by allowing performance and creative elements like rhythm, rhyme, and expression.
Structure of Greek play
The structure of a Greek play consisted of a prologue, parados, episodes separated by songs from the chorus, and an exodus. The chorus' songs included a stasimon after the first episode and a commos at the end involving actors. A Greek tragedy followed specific conventions - it had a beginning, middle, and end; illustrated the downfall of a heroic figure due to a mistake stemming from hubris; and elicited emotions of fear and pity in audiences. The structure of modern tragedies includes an introduction, development/complications, climax, denouement, and catastrophe. Key differences between classical and modern drama include religious focus versus entertainment, mythological versus normal characters, the role of fate versus personal
Classical drama
Greek drama originated as religious performances held to worship gods and goddesses. Plays dealt with myths and legends and aimed to impart moral lessons. The three major classical dramatists were Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, who interpreted the same stories differently. Plays were performed outdoors in daylight for large audiences, with a chorus commenting on the story and no more than 3 actors allowed on stage due to conventions of maintaining unity of time, place, and action within a single day. Prologues were used to explain background events when these conventions were difficult to follow.
Classical Theatre & Drama
Theatre is a collaborative art form that presents live performances before a live audience. Performers use gestures, speech, song, dance and other elements to convey experiences to the audience. Drama is a specific mode of fiction that represents stories through performance. There are different genres of drama including tragedy, comedy, melodrama and tragicomedy. Playwrights use dramatic structures like exposition, rising action, climax, and resolution to organize their material.
Poetic devices (1)
This document discusses poetic devices and provides examples of their use in songs. It defines poetic devices as methods of arranging words to make expressions appealing to readers. Some devices discussed include metaphor, simile, imagery, repetition, onomatopoeia, personification, and alliteration. Examples are given of specific songs that utilize these devices, such as "Price Tag" using onomatopoeia and "California Gurls" using alliteration. The document aims to explain how poetic devices can enhance meaning and help convey the main ideas in songs.

Plato viewed art as inferior copies of ideal forms and a threat to social order. Aristotle saw art as conveying truth through concrete examples and changing forms. Horace said art should be both sweet and useful. Sir Philip Sidney and Sir Francis Bacon viewed art as providing instruction and pleasure by presenting an idealized version of reality.

Absurdism
Absurdism is a philosophy that emerged from existentialism in post-World War 2 Europe. It is based on the belief that the universe is irrational and meaningless. Martin Esslin coined the term "Theatre of the Absurd" in 1961 to describe plays that used irrational or confusing elements to express the senselessness of the human condition. Key figures included Samuel Beckett, Eugene Ionesco, and Harold Pinter. Absurdist plays often lack rational plot or characters, confuse concepts like time and place, and use repetitive or ambiguous language.
Philip Sidney : An Apology for Poetry
Sidney's "Apology for Poetry" argues that poetry is a divine and socially useful art form. It summarizes Sidney's main points that poetry: (1) is the first form of education and instruction for humanity; (2) acts as a channel for divine inspiration; and (3) can teach virtue while delighting readers more effectively than history or philosophy. The work refutes claims that poetry is a lie, unprofitable, or leads to sin by asserting poetry's noble aim to inspire readers rather than corrupt them.
Literary Criticism-Longinus.pptx
Longinus is considered the first literary critic who focused on what constitutes sublimity in literature. According to Longinus, sublime literature goes beyond merely instructing, delighting, or persuading the reader, as was previously thought. Sublime literature transports the reader into ecstasy through the irresistible power of speech. Longinus identifies five principal sources of the sublime: grandeur of thought, capacity for strong emotions, appropriate use of figures of speech, nobility of diction, and dignity of composition. These elements, when blended harmoniously, have the power to exalt the soul and sway the emotions of readers.

History of english drama
Drama was introduced to England by the Romans during the medieval period. Mystery and morality plays performed during this time focused on Christian themes. The English Renaissance in the 16th-17th centuries saw a golden age of English drama led by playwrights like Shakespeare. The Puritans closed theaters in the 17th century but drama flourished again after the Restoration, introducing new genres like restoration comedy. In the late 19th century, musical theater grew more popular and theaters saw larger audiences as transportation improved. Into the 20th century, film began to compete with live theater but English drama continued to evolve, with musicals by composers like Andrew Lloyd Webber remaining popular today.

Bertolt Brecht & Epic Theatre
Bertolt Brecht was a German playwright who developed Epic Theatre, which used techniques like alienation effects to encourage audiences to think critically rather than become absorbed in the story. He wanted audiences to question social issues and power structures, not just passively watch drama. Some techniques included having the house lights on during performances or using placards to provide information rather than fully immersing audiences in realistic characters and plots.
The Death of the Author
Roland Barthes was a French literary theorist who argued against traditional literary analysis that centered on the author's biography. He believed the meaning of a text comes from the reader rather than being determined by the author's intentions or life experiences. According to Barthes, a text is composed of references to other texts and cultures rather than being an original creation, and it has multiple meanings that cannot be fully deciphered or limited by identifying the author. He concluded that the reader, not the author, gives a text its unity and understanding, and that "the birth of the reader must be at the cost of the death of the Author."
