读书小组：Return of a New Semester!

[Zhao, Xuan]

亲爱的读书小组的童鞋们~

懒惰的我实在是太久不骚扰大家了，所以有必要在适当的时候出现一下~希望大家新学期一切顺利 :D

这个学期读书小组精彩继续，目前日程上的讲座讨论专题有国画、公共艺术、茶艺与插花、道德经等等，还在热切寻找有趣的话题和有才的同学！

（旁白：你这个懒人倒是把第一次活动组织起来啊~pia飞！）

所以，在开始第一次活动前，我先搭读书小组的顺风车征人一起去看戏。9月27日周五晚8点，学校里的Leeds Theater将上演2012年普利策戏剧奖得主、Brown04届校友Quiara Alegría Hudes的获奖作品Water by the spoonful。貌似是一部比较轻松愉快的话剧，探讨”how we make family in a 21-century world“。

正如大家所知，Brown有一个非常杰出的戏剧系，所以不要错过领略其风采的机会！如果如果对于舞台表演有什么好奇，只在Brown上过一门acting课程的本人也可以不懂装懂地胡诌一下~

Subject: Pulitzer Prize winning "Water by the Spoonful"-Presented by Brown TAPS
To: xuan...@brown.edu

Brown Theatre Arts and Performance Studies  and Sock & Buskin proudly present 2012 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Drama Water By the Spoonful by Quiara Alegría Hudes, MFA '04 directed by Patricia Ybarra   A CONFIDENT AND ARRESTING VOICE. --The New York Times ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PLAYWRIGHTS OF HER GENERATION. --The Atlanta Journal Constitution     September 26-October 6, 2013 Thursday-Saturday @ 8PM, Sunday @ 2PM Leeds Theatre 77 Waterman Street Providence, RI TAPS and Sock & Buskin proudly present Water by the Spoonful, the 2012 Pulitzer Prize winning play by Brown University alumna Quiara Alegría Hudes. The second play in a trilogy, Spoonful invites us into the life about Elliott Ortiz, a young Puerto Rican marine who served in the second Iraq War, six years after returning home. Elliott, now 24, is working at a Subway sandwich shop while trying to kick start his acting career; his cousin, Yazmin, a music professor is recently divorced and their aunt Odessa (who is actually Elliot s birth mother) is running a chat room for recovering crack addicts like herself. In this compassionate yet brutally honest play, each of the characters learns to embrace the challenge of living honestly and openly in a world filled with unintended risks and unexpected pleasures. Set in Philadelphia and the virtual world, Spoonful explores how we make family in a 21-century world. SPECIAL EVENT: The playwright will be in attendance during opening night (Thursday, September 26th) and will stay to answer questions about the play, her process and her career during a talkback immediately following the performance. Those not able to attend the performance are still encouraged to attend the talkback. The event is expected to begin at approximately 10:15pm on the 26th. The talkback event is free of charge and open to the public. Seating is limited. Tickets are $15; $12 for staff, faculty, and seniors and $7 for students.

听说楼上这位同学这周末要去Boston听莎拉布莱曼的音乐会了，表示非常羡慕嫉妒恨⋯⋯

票都是无座号的，所以早一点去就会有好位置~

有好几场啊，大家是准备去看哪一场？

[Zhao, Xuan]

我在想周四或者周五的那场。

不过：

1. 获得了普利策奖的Quiara Alegría Hudes要在周四（Opening night）晚上10：15讲她的本剧创作思路，所以想听的不妨周四去看戏。

2. 如果有人参加A better world by Design，周五、周六晚上是social event，所以万一有人想去这些event，照顾一下自己的schedule :)

P.S.: Brown真是太好玩了有木有！

轩

[Qian, Chao]

那都去周四的那场吗？我就买周四晚上的票了～～

又有一部好戏看了：A Streetcar Named Desire，1948年普利策戏剧奖得主，讨论永恒的主题love and desire, sex and violence, loss and loneliness。剧情介绍看起来还有点intense的。

本戏导演是我的表演老师和好朋友，TAPS教授 Lowry Marshall. 

同去？

轩

Brown Theatre Arts and Performance Studies  and Sock & Buskin proudly present

A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams directed by Lowry Marshall October 31 - November 10, 2013 Stuart Theatre 75 Waterman Street Providence, RI           Under the direction of Brown professor Lowry Marshall, Williams 1948 Pulitzer prize winning masterpiece is given an even grander New Orleans flair with the help of a large ensemble of performers and their dynamic array of instruments.        Written at the tale end of the American fascination with melodrama, A Streetcar Named Desire follows Blanche DuBois, a Southern belle whose melodramatic sighs and cries for rescue thinly veil her delusions of grandeur and her struggles with alcoholism. Self-effacing and deferential, Blanche s sister Stella lives in fear of her brutish and emotionally abusive husband Stanley. Chaos ensues as passions fly, when Blanche s visit puts her and Stanley on a collision course.        In this inventive new production of Tennessee Williams' tragic masterpiece, the vibrant world of the New Orleans French Quarter becomes a not-so-innocent bystander to Blanche and Stanley's fatal pas de deux.  Arguably the greatest American play of the 20th century, Streetcar grapples with the deepest, most persistent challenges of our never-ending quest for connection:  love and desire, sex and violence, loss and loneliness.  If you've never visited Tennessee Williams' New Orleans, now's the time and if you're ready for a return visit, get on board the Streetcar.

Tickets are $15; $12 for staff, faculty, and seniors and $7 for students. Group discounts and season tickets are available. Contact the box office at 401-863-2838, boxo...@brown.edu, or in person at Leeds Theatre, 77 Waterman Street. Tickets always available online at brown.edu/go/tickets.

我今天才后知后觉地晓得，这就是当年费雯丽和白兰度曾经演过的「欲望号街车」了。先有了drama，再有了1951年的电影。

顺便提一下，导演Lowry也来自南方。

昨晚看《欲望号街车》归来，觉得这确实是我在Brown看过的最好的一部戏，再次强烈推荐！赞得让人合不拢嘴~

还有周六晚上一场和周日下午一场 :)

Second that. Engrossing plot with an fair amount of drama and humor, strong acting, meticulously setup and all-functioning stage. A fantastic rendition of the classics.

[Zhao, Xuan]

我记得Lowry上课的时候曾经给我们说过，即使是悲剧也不能忘记幽默。这部戏显然便是如此，悲剧得不给人留下任何希望的余地，但是整场都非常幽默，张弛非常漂亮。

舞台设计对空间的运用真是太赞了！对空间的切割和划分非常有效~演员的表演非常专业到位，而且在剧本固定的台词之外，在肢体动作上有很多非常有创意的精准的表现。

没看过剧。看过个电影叫关于我母亲的一切。不知你们有看过没。你们女主角就和欲望号街车一直牵连着。电影还不错。看过剧的可以考虑看下电影

看到在讨论阿莫多瓦的电影，进来插一句，虽然没看过这部电影，但看过他其他的，好导演。

另，回复Xuan：如果对人体，空间，舞蹈，光影感兴趣的话，推荐看下这个视频：http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS1WALmBqUw&oref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DpS1WALmBqUw&has_verified=1
