        Adaptation and resilience in the performing arts

        The pandemic and beyond

        by Pascale Aebischer, Rachael Nicholas

        This book offers insights into some of the digital innovations, structural adaptations and analogue solutions that enabled live performance in the UK to survive through the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides evidence of values-led policies and practices that have improved the wellbeing of the creative workforce and have increased access to live performance. Through sections that address digital innovations, workforce resilience and programming live performances outdoors and in community settings, this book provides practical insights into the challenges live performance faced during the pandemic. It shows how, in order to survive, individuals and companies within the sector drew on the creativity and resourcefulness of its workforce, and on new and existing networks. In these accounts, the pandemic functioned as catalyst for technological innovations, stock-taking regarding exploitative industry structures, and a re-valuing of the role of live performance for community-building.

        Ulysses

        by Nicolas Mahler, James Joyce

        Dublin, 16. Juni 1904: ein Tag im Leben des Anzeigenakquisiteurs Leopold Bloom und die Sensationen des Gewöhnlichen – James Joyce hat aus einem Minimum an Stoff ein Maximum an Buch erschaffen: den Ulysses, den bedeutendsten Roman der Moderne, ein Jahrhundertwerk. Joyce' auch in formaler Hinsicht spektakuläre Schöpfung hat Nicolas Mahler zu einer Bilderzählung inspiriert, die keine bloße Illustration oder Adaption des Romans darstellt, sondern ein eigenständiges und ebenso erfindungsreiches wie witziges Werk. Mit den Mitteln des Comics werden hier die verschiedenen literarischen Techniken des Originals zeichnerisch verwandelt. Mahler montiert, zitiert und schwadroniert dabei ganz im Geiste von Joyce. Mit seiner Comic-Interpretation des modernen Klassikers, die zugleich eine Hommage an eine goldene Ära des Zeitungscomics darstellt, ist der Ulysses auf ungeahnte Weise ganz neu zu entdecken.

        Roger Michell

        by Brian McFarlane

        This book offers the first serious critical study of Roger Michell's career as a filmmaker. Best known for Notting Hill, Michell brought a distinctive sensitivity to his work in both the UK and the US, across genres ranging from romantic comedy to historical drama. While Michell had success in theatre and television, the focus here is on his twenty-year career in film and the particular qualities he brought to adaptation and character-driven storytelling. The book explores his handling of relationships and place, from the quiet emotional detail of Persuasion to the observational humour of The Duke, and highlights his ability to subvert narrative conventions through careful attention to mood, tone and performance. McFarlane's study positions Michell as a perceptive and underappreciated figure in contemporary British cinema, whose work continues to reward close viewing.

        Andrew Davies

        by Sarah Cardwell, Jonathan Bignell, Sarah Cardwell, Steven Peacock

        One of Britain's foremost TV practitioners, Andrew Davies is the creator of programmes such as 'A Very Peculiar Practice', 'To Serve Them All My Days', 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Othello' and 'The Way We Live Now'. Although best known for his adaptations of the work of writers such as Jane Austen and George Eliot, he has written numerous original drama series, single plays, films, stage plays and books. This volume offers a critical appraisal of Davies's work, and assesses his contribution to British television. Cardwell also explores the conventional notions of authorship and auteurism which are challenged by Davies's work. Can we identify Davies as the author of the varied texts attributed to him? If so, does an awareness of his authorial role aid our interpretation and evaluation of those texts? How does the phenomenon of adaptation affect the issue of authorship? How important is 'the author' to television? This book will appeal to both an academic readership, and to the many people who have taken pleasure in Davies's work. ;
