For Marc Chagall (1887-1985), painting was an intricate tapestry of dreams, tales, and traditions. His instantly recognizable visual language carved out a unique early 20th-century niche, often identified as one of the earliest expressions of psychic experience. Chagall's canvases are characterized by loose brushwork, deep colors, a particular fondness for blue, and a repertoire of recurring tropes including musicians, roosters, rooftops, flowers, and floating lovers. For all their ethereal charms, his c

Hailed as the first American-born art movement to have a worldwide influence, Abstract Expressionism denotes the non-representational use of paint as a means of personal expression. It emerged in America in the 1940s, with lead protagonists including Jackson Pollock, Philip Guston, Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning.

...The name music contains two ideas, both of them important in our modern use of the term: The general meaning is that of a pleasing modulation of sounds. In this sense the term is used constantly by poets, novelists and even in conversation—as when we speak of the music of the forest, the music of the brook or the music of nature. There is also a reminiscence of the etymological derivation of the term, as something derived from the Muses, the fabled retinue of the Greek god Apollo, who presided over all t

Despise m me if I do not. Three great ones of the city, In personal suit to make me his lieutenant, Off-capp'd to him; and by the faith of man, I know my price, I am worth no worse a place. But he, as loving his own pride and purposes, Evades them, with a bombast circumstance, Horribly stuff 'd with epithets of war: And in conclusion, Nonsuits my mediators: for Certes, says he, I have already chose my officer. And what was he?

From fa fairest creatures we desire increase, That thereby beauty's rose might never die, But as the riper should by time decease, His tender heir might bear his memory: But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes, Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel, Making a famine where abundance lies, Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel: Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament, And only herald to the gaudy spring, Within thine own bud buriest thy content, And tender churl mak'st waste in

Scene.I. A Room of State in King Lear's Palace. Enter Kent, Gloucester and Edmund. Kent. I thought the King had more affected the Duke of Albany Than Cornwall. Gloucester.

Gon. Good, yet remember w whom thou hast aboard. Boats. None that I more love than myself. You are a 20 Counsellor; if you can command these elements to silen­ce, and work the peace of the present, we will not hand a rope more; use your authority: if you cannot, give thanks you have lived so long, and make yourself ready in your cabin for the mischance of the hour, if it so hap. Cheerly, good hearts! Out of our way, I say.

The development of performance theory as social science and rejection of theatre solely as aesthetic entertainment in performance studies offers scholars and students an outlet to explore alternative human expression. It is necessary to provide the students of social sciences with the theoretical and methodological devices that will encourage and enable them to research the performances of real life in order to make the invisible social issues perceptible through the lens of theatricality. As an interdisci
