Within the study of drama; the question of how to relate text and performancemdash;and what interpretive tools are best suited to analyzing themmdash;is a longstanding and contentious one. Most scholars agree that reading a printed play is a means of dramatic realization absolutely unlike live performance; but everything else beyond this premise is contestable: how much authority to assign to playwrights; the extent to which texts and readings determine performance; and the capability of printed plays to communicate the possibilities of performance. Without denying that printed plays distort and fragment performance practice; this book negotiates an intractable debate by shifting attention to the ways in which these inevitable distortions can nevertheless enrich a readers awareness of a plays performance potentialities. As author J. Gavin Paul demonstrates; printed plays can be more meaningfully engaged with actual performance than is typically assumed; via specific editorial principles and strategies. Focusing on the long history of Shakespearean editing; he develops the concept of the performancescape: a textual representation of performance potential that gives relative shape and stability to what is dynamic and multifarious.

But need to do it with a teacher because there was not easy to self teach for kids to do it by themselves. Of course if your kids piano prodigy; it should be no problem for them.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy Jenny W.I wish the note can be a little bigger for little ones.
