Renaissance Fun is about the technology of Renaissance entertainments in stage machinery and theatrical special effects; in gardens and fountains; and in the automata and self-playing musical instruments that were installed in garden grottoes. How did the machines behind these shows work? How exactly were chariots filled with singers let down onto the stage? How were flaming dragons made to fly across the sky? How were seas created on stage? How did mechanical birds imitate real birdsong? What was ‘artificial music’, three centuries before Edison and the phonograph? How could pipe organs be driven and made to play themselves by waterpower alone? And who were the architects, engineers, and craftsmen who created these wonders? All these questions are answered. At the end of the book we visit the lost ‘garden of marvels’ at Pratolino with its many grottoes, automata and water jokes; and we attend the performance of Mercury and Mars in Parma in 1628, with its spectacular stage effects and its music by Claudio Monteverdi – one of the places where opera was born. Renaissance Fun is offered as an entertainment in itself. But behind the show is a more serious scholarly argument, centred on the enormous influence of two ancient writers on these subjects, Vitruvius and Hero. Vitruvius’s Ten Books on Architecture were widely studied by Renaissance theatre designers. Hero of Alexandria wrote the Pneumatics, a collection of designs for surprising and entertaining devices that were the models for sixteenth and seventeenth century automata. A second book by Hero On Automata-Making – much less well known, then and now – describes two miniature theatres that presented plays without human intervention. One of these, it is argued, provided the model for the type of proscenium theatre introduced from the mid-sixteenth century, the generic design which is still built today. As the influence of Vitruvius waned, the influence of Hero grew.

Theatermaschine und Festungsbau – diese Artefakte des 17. Jahrhunderts dienen Jan Lazardzig als heuristische Schlüssel, um Paradoxien der Wissensproduktion aufzuspüren. Er macht deutlich, dass diese Paradoxien in der Konstituierungsphase neuzeitlicher Wissenschaft wichtige Dreh- und Angelpunkte der Entwicklung waren, insbesondere hinsichtlich der Verlagerung, Transformation und des Sprungs von Fragestellungen aus einem wissenschaftlichen Feld in ein anderes. Systematisch und anschaulich exemplifiziert wird dies anhand eines umfassenden Korpus technisch-architektonischer Schriften zum Maschinen- und Festungsbau sowie ausgewählter Werke von Furttenbach, Andreae, Bacon, Descartes, Skytte und Leibniz.

Stage Flying written by John Alexander McKinven and has been published by David Meyer Magic Books this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1995 with Performing Arts categories.

The idea of flying has always captivated earthbound humans. When mortals invented gods and demons, the supernaturals came equipped with the power of flight. And humans, being envious, wished that they too could float free, soar like a bird or stand calmly on nothing. So from the beginning, when the legends of gods and the stories of man were told in theatre, flying has often been a part of the action. The theatrical act of a human flying is a scenic wonder. It began in religious plays, continued in church celebrations, and has had a place in a host of theatrical forms -- opera, the fairy play, vaudeville, melodrama, pantomime and spectacle. The apparatus for staging flight has taken its place among a host of other stage machines intended to illustrate a play's story.
