A Practical Approach to Drama

By: Louise Tourelle,Marygai McNamara

Performance: A Practical Approach to Drama is a textbook that aims to develop expressive skills, improvisation and playbuilding strategies, acting technique, and critical response to live theatre. It has been written to fit any course that focuses on the development and evaluation of performance skills. The book is designed for students to work sequentially through a comprehensive course of study. It is clearly written, logically organised and includes hints, checklists and opportunities for reflection. Performance: A Practical Approach to Drama contains ten chapters divided into small units, each of which begins with an explanation of the skills being taught and an introductory exercise. This 'theory' section is followed by an exploration of related practical skills in workshop exercises, as well as opportunities for students to reflect on their practical work. Chapters conclude with a performance assignment that contains suggestions for assessment and relevant criteria for marking. Key features: concise and clearly written theory combined with a wide range of individual, pair and group exercises, easy-to-follow chapter structure, strong developmental approach, ongoing focus on workshopping and performance, strong emphasis on the value of critical responses to dramatic performance and on self-evaluation, suggestions, hints and pithy quotations positioned at appropriate points in the margin, small margin drawings to assist the completion of exercises (such as movement) and to illustrate stage layouts, carefully chosen scripts (from published and unpublished works, poems and extracts from novels) as stimuli for voice, movement, improvisation and performance exercises, written so that students can use it at home as well as in class.

Red Virgin

Memoirs Of Louise Michel

By: Louise Michel

Louise Michel was born illegitimate in 1830 and became a schoolmistress in Paris. She was involved in radical activities during the twilight of France’s Second Empire, and during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and the siege of Paris. She was a leading member of the revolutionary groups controlling Montmarte. Michel emerged as one of the leaders of the insurrection during the Paris Commune of March-May 1871; and French anarchists saw her as martyr and saint – The Red Virgin. When the Versailles government crushed the Commune in May 1871, Michel was sentenced to exile in New Caledonia, until the general amnesty of 1880, when she returned to France and great popular acclaim and support from the working people of the country. Michel was arrested again during a demonstration in Paris in 1883 and sentenced to six years in prison. Pardoned after three years, she continued her speeches and writing, although she spent the greater part of her time from 1890 until her death in 1905 in England in self-imposed exile. It was during her prison term from 1883 to 1886 that she compiled her Memoires, now available in English. These memoirs offer readers a view of the non-Marxist left and give an in-depth look into the development of the revolutionary spirit. The early chapters treat her childhood, the development of her revolutionary feelings, and her training as a schoolteacher. The next section describes her activities as a schoolteacher in the Haute-Marne and Paris and therefore contains much of interest on education in 19th-century Europe. Her chapters on the siege of Paris, the Commune, and her first trial show those events from the point of view of a major participant. Of particular interest is a chapter on women’s rights, which Michel saw as part of the search for the rights of all people, male and female, and not as a separate struggle. The Red Virgin: Memoirs of Louise Michel will be useful to both scholars and students of 19th-century French history and women’s studies.
