[Comedias] FW: acting during the Spanish Golden Age

[Lauer, A Robert]

Dear Comediantes,

Actually, a remarkable book on Spanish Golden Age actors is Teresa Ferrer Valls' Diccionario biográfico de actores del teatro clásico español (DICAT), Bibliografías y catálogos 50, Kassel: Edition Reichenberger, 2008.  ISBN: 978-3-937734-62-0.  You might want to check the link here: <http://home.snafu.de/reichenberger/>.

Also, with respect to Nelson López's edition of El valiente negro en Flandes, by Andrés de Claramonte, I don't see any reason for modesty.  That is a unique edition that deals with the poetic and the spectacular text.  It is useful not only for scholars but for directors and actors as well <http://www.reichenberger.de/Pages/l101.html>.

Kind regards,

Robert

A great source is Evangelina Rodriguez Cuadros La tecnica de Actor  Español en el barroco, a human source: Dean M. Zayas, and why not? A plug-in El valiente negro en Flandes, edición para actores y directores, by yours truly, Nelson Lopez. I know, shameless, but in the year of Facebook and twitterdom, self advertisement is the latest trend.

Happy new Year!

theatre of the 16th century under  conditions similar to those of the Golden Age. Much documentation.

Performing outdoors, at night: Only lighting: candles and torches.

Performing outdoors in daylight: overcoming all the distracting visuals and sound in our surroundings.

A totally different set of concerns.  Everything truly in the hands of the actors.

Perhaps someone on the comedias list can help.

Subject: acting during the Spanish Golden Age

Dear all,

I have a student who is writing a paper on acting during the Spanish Golden Age - but is having a very hard time locating sources.

How valid would using the character types of the commedia dell'arte be as a possible approach?

Are there any good sources on acting during the Spanish Golden Age?

Anything else that might be helpful that I am not thinking of???

Thanks for any help you might be able to give.
