A Critical Analysis Of Edinburgh ' Fringe ' Festival '

Above all, I wouldn’t be where I am today without theatre. Without the chance to perform throughout my life, I would be disconnected from the wide array of communities and histories that’s been imbedded in my daily routine. Unfortunately, it’s speculated that the theatre is a dying art form, because of the expanding popularities of movies (“Is”), but I think that it’ll remain a well renowned part of expressing imagination and interpreting history as years pass; it only takes cooperation with school faculty and young students that go above and beyond to change their

Toronto is famous for its liberal, expressive arts, and the local performing arts scene has been in the spotlight many times and received numerous rewards (Henry, C., 2009). Every year, flocks of tourists are drawn in by world-renowned theatre events and festivals. Examples include (Toronto International Film Festival Inc., 2011):

Ever since I can remember I have loved theatre. It’s been a constant presence, and an important touchstone, in my life. However, for as long as I’ve loved theatre, I have also been ridiculed for my enjoyment of it. As a child, my interest was tolerated as something precious, something I was bound to grow out of. My parents and teachers would sit in the audience, clapping and cheering me on, all the while thinking to themselves “I bet she’ll make a great lawyer one day.” They thought, like most of society, theatre was an unnecessary luxury; a pastime for the rich and powerful, for those who didn’t have to worry about putting food on the table, or clothes on their children’s backs. Certainly not

On the 31st of July, the Brisbane Bayside State College Drama students viewed the production ‘Slammed’ by crosstown artists at the Brisbane Powerhouse. The production was performed by the Brisbane based production company, Crosstown Artists. Crosstown Artists strive to produce and promote a range of quality artistic works with fiscal sustainability. From graffiti to hip hop to burlesque to poetry, Crosstown Artists passionately provide extraordinary opportunities for performers through their outstanding productions. ‘Slammed’ is directed by John Peek and focuses on real life issues that teenagers face daily. The extended response will examine and analyse the dramatic elements and conventions used throughout this thought provoking and engaging performance.

During the 19th century, theater adopted a realistic viewpoint by romanticism but also a rise in modern nationalism to give people a sense of belonging in a community or culture (Carlson 2014: 21). In the 20th century, realism in theater was challenged and plays were now easier to attend due to the improvements of communication and the ability to reach other areas of the world by travel (Carlson 2014: 23-24). Theater is another addition to the world of art that is continuously evolving and adapting to the world and cultures influencing its

However, this conception of traditional mas does not represent the reality and range of the festival. Therefore it is unfair to classify specific characters as the hallmark of traditional mas when independent Mas bands, like Vulgar Fraction, who stray from performing these characters are arguably more “traditional” in their methods of creation than any other contemporary mas band as they place emphasis on forgotten skills such as wire-bending and costume-making. Yet, this begs the question: Is there a desire from the public for independent mas bands in contemporary Carnival?

Shaw’s works were only sporadically performed before 1962. This changed when lawyer Brian Doherty offered up the idea of having a theatre company attributed to Shaw the way Stratford was to Shakespeare. The company was created as “A salute to shaw” to help give the town a financial boost. In the year of 1962 Doherty was named both artistic director and producer bring the shows ‘Don Juan in Hell’ and ‘Candida’ to the stage. Throughout all of the changes in titles Doherty worked on “A salute to shaw” that produced a major milestone on June 12, 1973. That milestone being the opening of the new Shaw Festival theatre by Queen Elizabeth herself. During this time Calvin Rand arts Professor from the University of Buffalo became president of the company and help move the company forward.

Qu1. – Theatre allows one to express emotions, escape from reality and fantasise over desired endings. Theatre re-enacts past events in an over-exaggerated, dramatic form. It is considered living art. Theatre performances require a scriptwriter, sound designer, costume designer, lighting designer, director, scenic designers, actors, technicians, dramaturges, historians and audiences. The performance can be entertaining and/or educational. For example theatrical performances are based on previous events (history), which is both visually pleasing and educational.

Each suggests are “quandary” orientated in that it tackles such social problems or individual matters that have a social forex equivalent to rape, drug abuse or sexual identification difficulty.

The first art piece that I’m going to be discussing is a theatrical production that has a special place in my heart, and it is the Jakarta Performing Arts Community’s rendition of the hit Broadway play, ‘Fame.’ The reason why this piece is so important to me is because it was the first ‘real deal’ production that I’ve meddled in, and was the first production that I was appointed stage manager of. The play itself has a great message and great tunes, to be honest. I really like this play because it’s so naturally high school, the problems are so realistic that it almost didn’t feel like it was some sort of a make believe, and it also addressed things that are so simple yet are so scarcely discussed.

Last Sunday, I attended the Melbourne improv conspiracy theatre session called "Girl Jam" of the Melbourne Fringe Festival with my group members. The show is run monthly from 6pm to 7pm and it is led by a group of professional actors. The "Girl Jam" is a comedy improv show where self-identifying women get to jump on stage and share the joy of improvising together. The show is very much related to playback theatre style except one story could be divided into 6 scenes and each scene went on for about 10 minutes.

Talking points must adjust as I jump to the next stakeholder. I rely on an ecosystem to make theater and depend solely on an audience to support my artistic practice and value system. Without the value system supported, the work and those who create it will not thrive. I strive to make meaningful, inclusive content with a high production value and pay a fair wage to every artist involved with the company. Accessibility becomes a top priority, striving to reach as many differently abled, racial and economically diverse children an opportunity to come to the show. To adhere to these values, I need an audience to buy tickets to support this work.
