Famous for its lush beauty and inviting beaches, Hawai'i also boasts a rich theatrical history dating back to the mid-19th century and spanning its years as a kingdom, U.S. territory, and a state. Its warm, tropical climate and social, cultural, and ethnic diversity contributed to the variety of theatres unique to the islands--from simple, rural plantation theatres on the neighbor islands, to neighborhood movie houses in exotic styles, to an incomparable tropical moderne jewel near the beach at Waikiki. Most of these theatres are now just a memory, except for those few saved by dedicated individuals and restored for another life. This book celebrates the rich history of these theatrical venues through rare archival photographs and little-known details.

The Hard Sell of Paradise examines how mid-twentieth-century Hollywood, negotiating the rhetoric of the tourism industry, offered a complex and contradictory vision of "Hawai'i" for its audiences. From the classic studio system and elite tourism of the 1930s to a postwar era of mass travel, TV, and new leisure markets, the book explores how an eclectic group of populist media reflected the language of tourism not only through its narratives of leisure, but also through its complex engagement with larger cultural and historical questions, such as colonialism, world war, and statehood. Drawing on rare archival research, The Hard Sell of Paradise also explores the valuable role that tourism partners such as United Airlines, Matson Cruise Lines, and the Hawaii Tourist Bureau played in directly and indirectly influencing such films and television shows as Waikiki Wedding, Diamond Head, Blue Hawaii, The Endless Summer, and Hawaii Five-O.

Asian theatre is usually studied from the perspective of the major traditions of China, Japan, India, and Indonesia. Now, in this wide-ranging look at the contemporary theatre scene in Southeast Asia, Catherine Diamond shows that performance in some of the lesser known theatre traditions offers a vivid and fascinating picture of the rapidly changing societies in the region. Diamond examines how traditional, modern, and contemporary dramatic works, with their interconnected styles, stories, and ideas, are being presented for local audiences. She not only places performances in their historical and cultural contexts but also connects them to the social, political, linguistic, and religious movements of the last two decades. Each chapter addresses theatre in a different country and highlights performances exhibiting the unique conditions and concerns of a particular place and time. Most performances revolve in some manner around “contemporary modernity,” questioning what it means—for good or ill—to be a part of the globalized world. Chapters are grouped by three general and overlapping themes. The first, which includes Thailand, Vietnam, and Bali, is characterized by the increased participation of women in the performing arts—not only as performers but also as playwrights and directors. Cambodia, Singapore, and Myanmar are linked by a shared concern with the effects of censorship on theatre production. A third group, the Philippines, Laos, and Malaysia, is distinguished by a focus on nationalism: theatres are either contributing to official versions of historical and political events or creating alternative narratives that challenge those interpretations. Communities of Imagination shows the many influences of the past and how the past continues to affect cultural perceptions. It addresses major trends, suggesting why they have developed and why they are popular with the public. It also underscores how theatre continues to attract new practitioners and reflect the changing aspirations and anxieties of societies in immediate and provocative ways even as it is being marginalized by television, film, and the internet. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of theatre and performance, Asian literature, Southeast Asian studies, cultural studies, and gender studies. Travelers wishing to attend local performances as part of their experience abroad will find it an essential reference to theatres of the region.

Hawaii S Adopted World Class Actor written by Terence Knapp and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2000-11 with Actors categories.

Terence Knapp, an English actor and Inaugural Player of the National Theatre of Great Britain under the direction of Sir Laurence Olivier, appeared frequently in television, films and repertory in England. These are his recollections of working in Great Britain, touring in Africa and Southeast Asia, studying Japanese theatre arts and directing Japanese actors in Shakespeare and Western Theatre in Japan. He has lived in Honolulu, Hawaii since 1970 where he teaches at the University of Hawaii and acts and directs in Hawaii, Japan and England. When he was 11 years old, Terry won a scholarship to Parmiters, an Anglican Grammar School chartered in 1584, at Bethnal Green in London. He was educated in the Classics and exposed to the great tradition of English Literature and, particularly, to Shakespeare. When Parmiters renewed the tradition of an annual Shakespeare production, Terry was cast as Lady Macbeth. His performance led to the offer of a scholarship by the London County Council to the Preparatory Academy and, a year later, when he was 17, a scholarship to RADA, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Terrys studies at RADA were interrupted by mandatory service in the Royal Air Force. He was trained as a paramedic and posted to a Mobil Operating Theatre unit based near Oldenburg, in Northern Germany. There he was befriended by a family of Quakers and by the family of the British Resident. Their encouragement and interest in Terry resulted in his being seconded for a time to Nord West Deutsches Rundfunk where he worked on a great variety of broadcasts as a radio actor. He played HAMLET at the age of 19 as well as a number of other great Shakespearean roles. His apprenticeship in radio has served him well. Years later he worked in radio in Moscow, Tokyo and South East Asia. In 1953, Terry returned to his scholarship at RADA to resume his studies. In 1954, at the Public Show presented by RADA at the Savoy Theatre, he was awarded the Academys Medal for his performance as the Doctor in the play A Month In The Country by Turgenev. He was also given a years contract as the Liverpool Playhouse Scholar. Moving to Merseyside, where he remained for the next four years, Terry became a member of the Liverpool Playhouse, at that time the doyenne of repertory theatres in England. The three weekly productions gave him the opportunity to play an enormous spectrum of parts from every genre of drama. Around the corner from the Playhouse, a quartet of young men were preparing to burst upon an unsuspecting world as the Beatles. Terry received glowing notices for his performance in a play by Gerald Savory, Hand In Glove. After his success in the play, on the urging and advice of his agent, he left the Liverpool Playhouse to return to London. Terry soon became a successful young character actor on both the BBC and ITA, performing a wide range of roles on live television. Gerald Savory, the playwright of Hand In Glove would only consent to having his play performed on television or made into a film if Terry repeated his role. The television production made Terrys name nationwide. In 1962, Sir Laurence Olivier invited Terry to become a member of the Company of the newly formed Chichester Festival Theatre. During that summer, he performed with many illustrious actors of the British theatre---Michael Redgrave, Sybil Thorndike, Joan Greenwood, Joan Plowright, John Neville and, of course, Laurence Olivier. Early in 1963 while performing in London, Terry accepted John Nevilles invitation to join him, Judi Dench and other actors in a British Council Tour of West Africa for three months. They performed Shakespeares Twelfth Night, Macbeth and Arms and the Man in many remote areas of Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra Leone. Returning to London by way of French West Africa, Portugal, Spain and Rome, Terry was invited to attend

Japan S Modern Theatre written by Brian Powell and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013-12-16 with Social Science categories.

This book endeavours to unravel the complicated skeins of Japanese theatre in the modern period and offers an appreciation of the richness of choice of presentational and representational theatre forms. Since the end of world War II there has been continuing but different conflict between the major theatrical genres. Kabuki continues to defend its ground successfully, but the 'new drama' (shingeki) became firmly established in its own right in the 1960s. It was a vigorous and exuberant 'underground' theatre which exploited anything and everything in the Japanese and western theatre traditions. Now, thirty years on, they too have been superseded. The youth theatre of the 1980s and 90s has thrown aside the concerns of the angry underground and developed a fast-moving bewilderingly kaleidoscopic drama of breath-taking energy.

"[Wichmann's] writing has authority rarely encountered.... Not only a comprehensive study but [a] study of Beijing theater. A marvelous overview, a virtual encyclopedia." --Choice "Overall, this is a pathbreaking book in terms of contributing to our understanding of the important Chinese art form that is the Beijing opera. It is a model of production. Its wealth of detail does not prevent it from being eminently readable. The author has unparallelled mastery of knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of her subject. The book will certainly help not only to make Beijing opera better understood in the West but also to make it more widely performed and appreciated." --China Review International, Spring 1994
