Theater

Stomp started in Brighton, England in 1991. It was created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas. It is a theater performance that uses objects and the body to create music.

The stage is in the center of the room and the audience seated on all sides.

It depends on which one you see. most are about two hours though.

Please come see the Jose mateo nutcracker this year. I am in it!

Physical Theatre started in the late 1800 by a man called Hozden Swidecoft. Hozden was a person that was not very good telling people how he felt through words so he decided to try express himself through his movements.

Greek theater has given us many things, and admittedly boredom was one of them. Greek shows went on for hours without stopping but it influenced the world around us now. It influenced stand-up comedy, the art of standing up alone in front of an audience was first done by the Greeks. Theater in genral. Greeks gave us audiences and acting with others on stage.

DBMS Three-Schema Architecture and Data Independence

WHAT IS DBMS ?

- To be able to carry out operations like insertion, deletion and retrieval, the database needs to be managed by a substantial piece of software; this software is usually called a Database Management System(DBMS).

- A DBMS is usually a very large software package that enables many different tasks including the provision of facilities to enable the user to access and modify information in the database.

- Data Description Languages (DDL) and Data Manipulation Languages (DML) are needed for manipulating and retrieving data stored in the DBMS. These languages are called respectively.

An architecture for database systems, called the three-schema architecture was proposed to help achieve and visualize the important characteristics of the database approach.

THE THREE-SCHEMA ARCHITECTURE:

The goal of the three-schema architecture is to separate the user applications and the physical database. In this architecture, schemas can be defined at 3 levels :

1. Internal level or Internal schema : Describes the physical storage structure of the database. The internal schema uses a physical data model and describes the complete details of data storage and access paths for the database.

2. Conceptual level or Conceptual schema : Describes the structure of the whole database for a community of users. It hides the details of physical storage structures and concentrates on describing entities, data types, relationships, user operations, and constraints. Implementation data model can be used at this level.

3. External level or External schema : It includes a number of external schemas or user views. Each external schema describes the part of the database that a particular user is interested in and hides the rest of the database from user. Implementation data model can be used at this level.

IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER :

Data and meta-data

- three schemas are only meta-data(descriptions of data).

- data actually exists only at the physical level.

Mapping

- DBMS must transform a request specified on an external schema into a request against the conceptual schema, and then into the internal schema.

- requires information in meta-data on how to accomplish the mapping among various levels.

- overhead(time-consuming) leading to inefficiencies.

- few DBMSs have implemented the full three-schema architecture.

DATA INDEPENDENCE

The disjointing of data descriptions from the application programs (or user-interfaces) that uses the data is called data independence. Data independence is one of the main advantages of DBMS. The three-schema architecture provides the concept of data independence, which means that upper-levels are unaffected by changes to lower-levels. The three schemas architecture makes it easier to achieve true data independence. There are two kinds of data independence.

- Physical data independence

* The ability to modify the physical scheme without causing application programs to be rewritten.

* Modifications at this level are usually to improve performance.

- Logical data independence

* The ability to modify the conceptual scheme without causing application programs to be rewritten.

* Usually done when logical structure of database is altered.

Logical data independence is harder to achieve as the application programs are usually heavily dependent on the logical structure of the data. An analogy is made to abstract data types in programming languages.

there are men and female characters performing, the theatre is indoors and there are seats

By helping to found the Lord Chamberlain's Men, Shakespeare became a shareholder (co-owner). He shared in the profits of the company.

No, but check with the theatre that Lion King is on at.

If you are in the UK, there are legal age resitrictions on children entering the auditorium (check with the theatre). If the child is older than the minimum age they will need a ticket, which will be full price.

Deus ex machina is a literary plot device that means "god from the machine." It is where a hard problem is suddenly resolved by an unexpected event occurring.

The original stagings didn't. Having female performers on stage was largely seen as immoral at the time. This view is a sort of remnant from the period the Catholic Church had dominance as England's primary religious group. The Church believed at points in the Middle Ages that all non-spiritual theatrical productions were blasphemous. Faced with this obstacle, the Elizabethan acting company used young men and boys without beards and whose voices hadn't yet changed to portray the parts of women.

the theme of swansong is realy powerful, it has loads of meaning in it for example, human rights, humiliation, victimisation, under mining emotions and the brutality of political interrogation:)

As for plays he wrote only a comedy: the Cassaria

According to the Documentary "'Show Business", 9 to 11 million dollars is the average today. In interviews about "Spamalot" , Eric Idle has stated that that show has cost 11 million, But this includes lawyers, cast album, out-of-town try outs etc.

Mrs. Mooney is the woman that Mrs. Lovett refers to in the songs "The Worst Pies in London" and "A Little Priest". It says in the songs that she used cats as her source of meat.

However, Mrs. Lovett at the time used lard of some sort which is what made her pies especially gross. However after she meets Sweeney, she uses human flesh.

The language is what makes Shakespeare's plays Shakespeare's. Other playwrights wrote plays about the same stories: there is another King Lear (spelled Leir), another Taming of the Shrew (called "a Shrew"), another Hamlet, and other versions of the histories including Edward IV which covers the same ground as part of Shakespeare's Henry VI Part 3.

Shakespeare left virtually no directions as to set, props, costuming or even the movement of people on stage. All we have is the hints given in the language.

Shakespeare and his contemporaries used language to describe the physical surroundings, describe the weather and the time of day, describe offstage events which could not be shown onstage, and express their emotions, as closeups were not available.

Most of all, Shakespeare's language is musical. He was very careful about what his words sounded like, and what rhythm they made. That is why we cannot substitute other words into what he wrote: it may have the same surface meaning but will not have the same music.

Paraphrases always sound flat and ugly compared to what Shakespeare wrote.

People in the theatre world tend to spell it "theatre" and those who are not spell it "theater." The basic difference as it was explained to me by one of my theatre professors in college is: Theatre is the art form and Theater is the building.

Example- I am going to the Kodak Theater to see a theatre performance.

Also, theatre is the (British) English spelling of the word theater.

By Puritans: Tools of the devil--they kept people from going to church and reading the Bible.

By Civic Fathers: Subversive of the public peace. Getting thousands of people together in one spot attracts criminals and might spread disease. Sometimes these theatre patrons caused riots.

By Everone Else: Awesome. The best entertainment money could buy. Better even than bearbaiting.

the different kinds of theater are the following...................
