Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ... VI THE IDEAL GYMNASIUM HE standard is not too high, nor the require A ment exaggerated, that demands that "capable teachers in an ideal gymnasium must be well versed in physiology, psychology, and pedagogy; must know something of human kind, its powers and means of growth, and of the world and what kind of men and women it needs; they must be able to develop mental, moral, and physical alike, till each nature acts as stimulant and counterbalance for the others; they must know the laws of motion and expression and their methods, whereby even the exceptional and inexplicable which we call genius may be educated." With such a standard the gymnasium stands high and strong and attractive among the educational institutions of the world; with any lowering of its standard it drops to the ranks of sensationalism and charlatanry. The first problem that confronts a teacher of gymnastics is the adjustment of environment to the work, --the selection and arrangement of a gymnasium whose cleanly convenience and attractiveness shall be of a kind that is inspiring and educating to sense and thought and feeling. The importance of immaculate cleanliness should not need to be emphasized in these days when sanitary safety is very generally appreciated; now, too, the convenience of gymnasium appointment is luxuriously provided with abundant, interesting, wellarranged apparatus and alluring baths. The aesthetic equipment, however, of an educational gymnasium is as important as any other element of the problem. An unlovely environment is a discouraging field for the culture of an instinct for beauty; while aesthetic stimulation from harmonious environment is an immeasurable help to teachers and students alike. A harmonious appointment of the gymnasium cannot...

This study chronicles the American adaptation of the theory and practice of the French acting, singing, and aesthetics teacher, Francois Delsarte. Delsartism was introduced in the United States by Steele Mackaye, Delsarte's only American student. American Delsartism, with its emphasis on physical culture and expression, differed significantly from Delsarte's works in France. The system evolved from professional training for actors and orators to a means of physical culture and expression that became popular among middle and upper class American women and girls. It allowed nineteenth-century women to pay attention to their bodies, to explore their own physicality, and to perform in a socially acceptable venues. In its later manifestations, Delsartism influenced the innovative dance of such artists as Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis, and Ted Shawn. Biographical information on the most notable figures in the development of American Delsartism is presented along with a discussion of the spread of Delsartism throughout the United States and to Germany. The Delsartean approach to training and expression is traced from Delsarte and Mackaye through the theory, teaching, and performance of Genevieve Stebbins, the most notable American proponent of the system. This work will appeal to scholars of dance history and of late nineteenth-century women's studies. Theater historians will appreciate the detailed account of the system as developed and taught by Steele Mackaye as training for actors. Although Delsartism has been acknowledged as relevant to the history of modern dance, scant information and research has previously been published which explores the movement in depth and discusses its importance to women's physical and cultural education in nineteenth-century America. Photographs illustrate the text and an extensive bibliography serves as a useful guide for further research.

This book explores the emergence of Greek tragedy on the American stage from the nineteenth century to the present. Despite the gap separating the world of classical Greece from our own, Greek tragedy has provided a fertile source for some of the most innovative American theater. Helene P. Foley shows how plays like Oedipus Rex and Medea have resonated deeply with contemporary concerns and controversies—over war, slavery, race, the status of women, religion, identity, and immigration. Although Greek tragedy was often initially embraced for its melodramatic possibilities, by the twentieth century it became a vehicle not only for major developments in the history of American theater and dance but also for exploring critical tensions in American cultural and political life. Drawing on a wide range of sources—archival, video, interviews, and reviews—Reimagining Greek Tragedy on the American Stage provides the most comprehensive treatment of the subject available.
