Indicate how the influences and ideas of other playwrights and/or directors, designers and performers (i.e. practitioners) have been used. Antonin Artaud was the creator of the 'Theatre of Cruelty'; Artaud was attempting to change the view of the word and society as he now thought that the world of theatre had become nothing but an empty shell. Artaud believed that the Theatre should affect the audience as much as possible, therefore he used a mixture of strange and disturbing forms of lighting, sound and performance. He aimed to affect audiences on an entirely non-rational level. We liked this idea as we wanted the audience to feel intimidated, and figured this technique would work well to keep them interested. We used Artaud's work in a few scenes. Firstly in the scene after the child has been kidnapped. Our intention in that scene was to provoke an emotion from the audience. So in the next scene we wanted to change that emotion, by letting them feel involved. Laura walked around the audience helplessly, and handing out leaflets to them. We used the theatre of cruelty again in the abuse scene. We wanted to intimidate the audience and make them feel trapped an insecure, and momentarily make them feel like that had done something wrong. We did this by shouting at them a scenario in which we believed they had done us wrong. The subject I used was cheating. I made the

In Hobson's Choice, how does Harold Brighouse make the audience aware of the changes in Willie Mossop's character?

Twentieth Century Drama Rachel Cormack 10JGR/H1 "Hobson's Choice" by Harold Brighouse In Hobson's Choice, how does Harold Brighouse make the audience aware of the changes in Willie Mossop's character? In this assignment, I will be looking at the play "Hobson's Choice" which was written in 1914 by Harold Brighouse. I will scrutinize the way that the playwright makes the audience aware of the changes in William Mossop's character using quotes from the script. "Hobson's Choice" was a saying used in the late eighteen and early nineteen hundreds and to have Hobson's choice was to have no choice at all. Brighouse saw this as a title with scope for a play and wrote the script to fit the title. He set the play back in eighteen eighty, in Salford, Lancashire two years before he was born near Salford. "Hobson's Choice" tells the story of the Hobson family who live in Chapel Street, Salford and run a prosperous family boot making business. The head of the household is Henry Horatio Hobson, a widower with three daughters, Alice, who is twenty-three, the twenty-one, pretty Victoria and Maggie, the eldest at thirty. Maggie is invaluable to Hobson as she is an incomparable shop hand and obliging to the customers. The story begins with an argument occurring between Hobson and his daughters, concerning their manner towards himself. He proposes that, if their "uppishness" towards him

How does the film Witness show the clash between Amish culture and modern American culture?

How does the film Witness show the clash between Amish culture and modern American culture? Peter Weir used directorial devices to produce a piece of theatrical prominence and importance. This spiritual and social journey of a New York policeman, John Book (Harrison Ford) conveys a strong message of morality, corruption and requests understanding of the often misunderstood Amish lifestyle. From the offset this film is a significant study of the Amish and modern, urban American cultures' co-existence. The intricate plot exposes the effect of corruption on the life of an Amish child named Samuel Lapp and his mother Rachel. They leave the Amish community in Baltimore and proceed to Philadelphia in order to visit relatives. Whilst awaiting their delayed train Samuel witnesses a significant and vicious murder of a drugs officer, disclosing the corruption of two manipulative police officers (McFee and Paul) with much influence within the system. As the plot develops Samuel and his assigned detective John Book's knowledge finds them submerged in life threatening circumstances. John Book returns to the Amish community suffering ill-health due to a shoot-out with McFee. He is detained as a consequential member of the Amish. The main theme of the film is the progression of John Book's attitude and position amongst the community's citizens. The Amish sect was founded in 1512 by Swiss

The aim of this investigation is to discover how the length of a wire affects its resistance.

Finding the resistance of a wire investigation Aim The aim of this investigation is to discover how the length of a wire affects its resistance. Apparatus > Power Pack (AC voltage) > Ammeter > Voltmeter > 100cm of Nichrome wire > Crocodile clips > Circuit Wires > Meter Rule Firstly, I will briefly explain what voltage, current and resistance is. Voltage- Voltage is a measure of the amount of "push" given to electric charge in a circuit. We nearly always consider electrons as the charges (charge carriers) being pushed around a circuit. If there is no "push", electrons will not be moved around the circuit. This voltage would normally be supplied by a cell, battery or power pack. Current- An electric current is the flow of charged particles. Inside a copper wire, current is carried by small negatively charged particles, called electrons. The electrons drift in random directions until a current starts to flow. When this happens, electrons start to move in the same direction, toward the positive terminal. The size of the current depends on the number of electrons passing one place per second. Resistance- Resistance determines how much current will flow through a component. Resistors are used to control voltage and current levels. Resistance is the atoms of a material getting in the way of electrons, as they travel in the direction of the negative terminal. The

How Does Hobbes Justify The Authority Of

How Does Hobbes Justify The Authority Of In this essay, I shall define the modern state and put Hobbes in some sort of historical context. I shall then go on to study the way that he justifies the type of state that he argues for in Leviathan. Finally I shall critically look at the problems with Hobbes theories and see how he dealt with alternative forms of authority. During Thomas Hobbes life, Europe was politically very unstable. It had just recovered from the Protestant reformation and the English civil war was happening actually as Hobbes was writing Leviathan, his seminal work. The modern state is a 16th and 17th Century institution that is distinct from the pre-modern and post-modern states. Hobbes is often thought of as one of the founding fathers of the modern state. Hobbes spends a great deal of time examining human nature in his book "Leviathan". This culminates in the description of 'The Natural Condition of Mankind'. It is believed that 'The State of Nature' has never existed. It is merely a rational fiction that allows Hobbes to strip man of society and show how he would really act. The closest comparison to 'The State of Nature' could be North America just after colonial rule and the settling of the relatively lawless west. Another example could be the book, "The Lord of the Flies," by William Golding, a story about a group of boys marooned on a desert island

Explain the importance of team building, the stages in the development of team cohesion and analyse the impact of good and poor team cohesion on the British Army, with reference to relevant theorists.

Explain the importance of team building, the stages in the development of team cohesion and analyse the impact of good and poor team cohesion on the British Army, with reference to relevant theorists. Whenever people are brought together as a team to accomplish a task, there are stages that they must go through in order to work together effectively. The forming of the team is the beginning of team dynamics and depending on how team members proceed after this initial meeting usually depends on how the team reacts to one another and how the team can overcome the conflict that will ultimately arise. Very simply team cohesion is the ability of a team to stick together during a project or an exercise. According to Adair a team is: "an energetic group of diverse individuals who are committed to achieving common objectives, who work well together, enjoy doing so, and who produce high quality results."1 Bruce Tuckman is one of the leading researchers in group development. Tuckman's model is a successive-stage theory and specifies the usual order of the phases of group development. He argues that these processes are paramount to a team's success or decline. Each stage identifies major processes that a group goes through and the characteristics demonstrated by the group and its members. The initial forming of a team involves the team members coming together, introducing one another

Why do sources A to F differ in their attitudes to the evacuation of children?

Why do sources A to F differ in their attitudes to the evacuation of children? Sources A to F do differ in their opinion of Evacuation, some give the perception of evacuation as a success while others, believe it to be a failure, I will look at why they differ in their attitudes and also at why the individual sources were produced. Source A shows, what appears to be school children being evacuated, most of the people within the photograph appear to be smiling, however this is unreliable as a view onto their feelings at the time, as it appears that all those taking part in the photograph are aware that they are being photographed, and therefore they would smile towards the camera even if they had been in tears previously, also this photograph may have been produced as a piece of propaganda. This piece although a primary source does not give enough detail, in order to give a general view on the beliefs towards evacuation. Source B is probably more reliable as it is an extract from an interview with a teacher who was present during the evacuations. This source appears to differ from source A as it gives a much more negative view of Evacuation, yet this may be because the source is an extract from an interview, and the interviewer may have asked for the negative point of the evacuation, and also since the piece is a memory is subject to the inaccuracies of this type of source.

Migration and Sense of Place.

GTR - Intensive Interviewing Migration and Sense of Place Introduction This investigation focuses on a student at Durham University, Miss Becky Woodhouse, and studies her sense of place in relation to her home area and the notion of home she has formulated over the course of her life to date. Miss Woodhouse has experienced a different upbringing to many of her contemporaries at university, as her father has been in the armed forces since she was at a young age. This has resulted in her moving abroad, in more than one country, and also moving around between various places in England, experiencing different home areas and different communities. Thus our group's aims were to explore whether or not Miss Woodhouse had any fixed notion of a place of origin, what constitutes 'home' for her, and what factors help to construct a feeling of attachment to a place as she moves from one place to another. The questions we designed were tailored to suit Miss Woodhouse's circumstances, and much of our thought was given to sense of attachment and the causes of it relating to our aims, and whether or not she had a notion of a single 'home' area, leaving our questions as open as we could to accommodate answers that would lead in either that direction or any other that her answers may lead us in. Through intensive interviewing, we aimed to find themes which would aid us in establishing

T totals. In this investigation I aim to find out relationships between grid sizes and T shapes within the relative grids, and state and explain all generalizations I can find

Maths GCSE Coursework 2000 - T-Total INTRODUCTION - Tell the reader what the project is all about - get a friend/family member to read it - do they understand what it's all about? Introduction In this investigation I aim to find out relationships between grid sizes and T shapes within the relative grids, and state and explain all generalizations I can find, using the T-Number (x) (the number at the bottom of the T-Shape), the grid size (g) to find the T-Total (t) (Total of all number added together in the T-Shape), with different grid sizes, translations, rotations, enlargements and combinations of all of the stated. EXPLAIN WHAT THE LETTERS STAND FOR Relations ships between T-number (x) and T-Total (t) on a 9x9 grid 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 From this we can see that the first T shape has a T number of 50 (highlighted), and the T-total (t) adds up to 187 (50 + 41 + 31 + 32 + 33). With the second T shape with a T number of 80, the T-total adds up to 337, straight away a trend can be seen of the larger the T number the larger the total. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20 21
