Publisher: Currency House PubDate: July 2011 PhysDes: vii, 72 p. ; 21cm Series: Platform papers ; no.28 Subject: ACTING; VICTORIAN COLLEGE OF THE ARTS, SCHOOL OF FILM AND TELEVISION Summary: "THE VICTORIAN COLLEGE OF THE ARTS was founded in 1972 to provide education and training in all the visual and performing arts within the one institution. It has remained unique in Australia in that charter. Since 2009, however, it has been headline news as a training institute in crisis, a situation fed by government intervention, public commentary and disputes with the University of Melbourne which now administers it. What financial pressures began has now become a deeper struggle about the nature of arts training in the twenty-first century. This period of crisis, writes Murphet, brought to the school a new vitality and purpose, and raised questions that go way beyond the VCA case alone. As the college begins its restoration, he presents the case for repositioning the VCA as a centre of artistic invention, shifting the debate from the maintenance of past traditions to the creation of a new paradigm in arts training for a world in which instability has become the norm." -- publisher's web site Includes reader's responses to previous Platform Papers ISBN: 9780980798258 More info

This one is neither. In his powerful, angry and passionate book, Kirk Douglas tells the story of his life in his own words, holding back nothing. Born Issur Danielovitch Demsky, the son of an illiterate immigrant Russian-Jewish ragman, in Amsterdam, New York, Douglas paints a searing and unforgettable picture of an almost Dickensian childhood of brutal poverty - the background that has dominated his life as an actor, father and man, fuelling the great creative anger that has added such depth to his performances. With profound and moving insight, he shows how the determination to overcome that childhood and succeed on his own terms led him to take on roles that most stars of his magnitude would never have risked - Van Gogh, in LUST FOR LIFE; Spartacus the slave; the courageous, conscience-stricken Colonel Dax, in PATHS OF GLORY; the agonized boxer Midge, in CHAMPION, to name only a few - and to fight the studios and the Hollywood establishment for the right to control and produce his own movies, long before it was common practice for stars to do so."

book		Reframing screen performance / Cynthia Baron and Sharon Marie Carnicke Ann Arbor Mich.: University of Michigan Press, c2008. Call No: 227:635.27 BAR Author: Baron, Cynthia; Carnicke, Sharon Marie Source: US Place: Ann Arbor Mich. Publisher: University of Michigan Press PubDate: c2008 PhysDes: 301 p. : ill. ; 24 cm Subject: ACTING; ACTORS Summary: "Reframing Screen Performance is a ground-breaking study of film acting that challenges the long held belief that great cinematic performances are created in the eiting room. Surveying the changing attitudes and practices of film acting- from the silent films of Charlie Chaplin to the rise of Lee Strasberg's Actors Studio in the 1950s to the eclecticism found in contemporary cinema - the authors argue that screen acting is a vital component of film and that it can be understood in the same way as theatrical performance. This richly illustrated volume shows how and why the evocative details of actors' voices, gestures, expressions, and actions are as significant as filmic narrative and audiovisual design. The book features in-depth studies of performances by Anjelica Huston, John Cusack, Julianne Moore, and many more actors alongside subtle analyses of directors such as Robert Altman, Akira Kurosawa, Sally Potter, and Orson Welles. The book bridges the disparate fields of cinema studies and theater studies as it persuasively demonstrates how theater theory can illuminate the screen actor's craft." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 277-290) and index ISBN: 9780472050253 Contents: Pt.

Within these pages is Bogdanovich on Charlie Chaplin, Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, James Cagney, John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Marlene Dietrich, Jack Lemmon, Boris Karloff, Dean Martin, Marilyn Monroe, James Stewart, Frank Sinatra, and many more. With an acute and affectionate eye, Bogdanovich shows us Lillian Gish, the first virginal hearth goddess of the silver screen; Marlon Brando, refusing to play the same from one picture to the next, yet ever recognisable as the great actor, in spite of himself; Jerry Lewis, whose goofy comedy represented the nine-year-old in all of us; and Cary Grant, the epitome of screen elegance, benignly aware that in life even he could never live up to his own legend. Bogdanovich captures brilliantly - in their own words and his - the personality, the work, the style and the enduring iconic appeal of America's movie greats. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9780571224319 Donation: James Sabine More info
