Epique ou dramatique, chanté ou dansé, le théâtre est au coeur de toutes les civilisations d'Asie. Issues de pratiques rituelles, ces dramaturgies très codifiées mettent en scène des dieux, des esprits ou des héros légendaires, à qui des acteurs magnifiquement masqués et costumés donnent vie. C'est ainsi que perdurent, depuis près de deux mille ans, des traditions spectaculaires et stylisées, telles que le kathakali inspiré des grandes épopées indiennes, l'Opéra de Pékin, les théâtres d'ombres, le kabuki ou le nô.De l'Inde au Japon, en passant par la Chine et l'Asie du Sud-Est, cet ouvrage, qui accompagne l'exposition «Du Nô à Mata Hari, 2000 ans de théâtre en Asie», dresse un panorama complet et inédit de tous ces genres théâtraux et en révèle l'extraordinaire raffinement à travers une profusion d'images. Parures, costumes, masques, marionnettes ou estampes sont ici réunis pour célébrer cet art du spectacle millénaire et toujours fascinant.

How is the look of a film achieved? In Art Direction and Production Design, six outstanding scholars survey the careers of notable art directors, the influence of specific design styles, the key roles played by particular studios and films in shaping the field, the effect of technological changes on production design, and the shifts in industrial modes of organization. The craft's purpose is to produce an overall pictorial "vision" for films, and in 1924 a group of designers formed the Cinemagundi Club-their skills encompassed set design, painting, decoration, construction, and budgeting. A few years later, in recognition of their contributions to filmmaking, the first Academy Awards for art direction were given, a clear indication of just how essential the oversight of production design had become to the so-called majors. The original essays presented in Art Direction and Production Design trace the trajectory from Thomas Edison's primitive studio, the Black Maria, to the growth of the Hollywood "studio system," to the influence of sound, to a discussion of the "auteur theory," and to contemporary Hollywood in which computer-generated imagery has become common. By 2000, the Society of Motion Picture Art Directors became the Art Directors Guild, emphasizing the significance of the contributions of art direction and production design to filmmaking. Art Direction and Production Design is a volume in the Behind the Silver Screen series-other titles in the series include Acting, Animation, Cinematography, Directing, Editing and Special/Visual Effects, Producers, Screenwriting, and Sound.

Die vorliegende Arbeit fokussiert erstmals die Ursprünge des zeitgenössischen Bildertheaters, welche sich bis ins ausgehende 19. Jahrhundert zurückverfolgen lassen. Das Untersuchungsfeld umfaßt einen Zeitraum von ca. fünfzig Jahren (1870-1920), in denen ein grundlegender kulturhistorischer Paradigmenwechsel vonstatten ging. Als ein Symptom dieses Wandels kann die allmähliche Veränderung der Funktion und Bedeutung des Optischen auf dem Theater angesehen werden, welche im Zentrum des ersten Hauptteils steht.

Moving Sites explores site-specific dance practice through a combination of analytical essays and practitioner accounts of their working processes. In offering this joint effort of theory and practice, it aims to provide dance academics, students and practitioners with a series of discussions that shed light both on approaches to making this type of dance practice, and evaluating and reflecting on it. The edited volume combines critical thinking from a range of perspectives including commentary and observation from the fields of dance studies, human geography and spatial theory in order to present interdisciplinary discourse and a range of critical and practice-led lenses through which this type of work can be considered and explored. In so doing, this book addresses　the following questions: How do choreographers make site-specific dance performance?; What occurs when a moving　body engages with site, place and environment?; How might we interpret, analyse and evaluate this type of dance practice through a range of theoretical lenses?; How can this type of practice inform wider discussions of embodiment, site, space, place and environment? This innovative and exciting book seeks to move beyond description and discussion of site-specific dance as a spectacle or novelty and considers site-dance as a valid and vital form of contemporary dance practice that explores, reflects, disrupts, contests and develops understandings and practices of inhabiting and engaging with a range of sites and environments.
