Unit 5: Music, Cinema And Theater Evidence of Learning 2

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

As in the rest of the artistic disciplines, the theater created in the United States was
born as an imitation of the European, especially English, dramatic tradition.
However, he soon acquired a tone of his own that would reach its peak in the
twentieth century, with the Nobel Prize of 1936, Eugene O'Neill (1888-1953) and
other writers of the stature of Tenesee Williams (1911-1983 ). Today, the United
States is the most important professional theater center in the world, and there is a
proliferation of companies, workshops and theater schools covering all kinds of
genres.

After the Actor's Studio and the beat movement, the theater, especially the musical,
lives a renewed splendor. On Broadway there is a great effervescence during the
60s. The civil rights movement, social instability and the moral openness of the time
result in works of great success like "Hair", which include nudes and drug use on
stage. Others, such as "West Side Story," beat up new audience records on
Broadway, while Bob Fosse's "A Chorus Line," which honors the vaudeville, does in
Chicago. It is a time of openness, and there is a continuous transfer between
established Broadway industry and off-Broadway, or experimental theater. In the
works openly talk about issues such as homosexuality, AIDS and drugs.
ENGLAND

From its origins until Shakespeare traces the development of the dramatic genre
from its preliterary vestiges until the moment of maximum hatching at the end of
century XVI, with the irruption of Shakespeare and the construction of the first
theaters.

The relationship between theater and ritual, the pagan origins that still survive on
English soil, the stage shows that are rooted in Christian rites and the typically British
theatrical forms, the interludes, which, mixed with classical theories in the
Renaissance, gave Result the comedy and tragedy of the Tudor period, are some of
the aspects that run its pages.

The study of stage spaces and actors is also a novel contribution, essential to
complete the configuration of the theatrical spectacle at a time when hardly anyone
could read and write. The evolution of the scenarios and the involvement of the
actors, both amateur and professional, as well as the supposed and arguable
absence of women, are other attractive contents of this volume, a useful book to
study and understand the evolution of theater Only in England but throughout
Europe.
