Melodrama in Theatre

A melodrama is a work (usually dramatic) that uses exaggerated characters, events, and plot in order to get a strong emotional reaction from the people in the audience. Before the realism movement, melodrama was one of the most prevalent forms of storytelling on the stage: many operas and operettas are melodramas because of their overdramatic and expressive nature.

Characters in melodramas are often given specific stereotypes and archetypal roles: the sensitive hero, the mean villain, the persecuted heroine, the clown, the faithful friend, and the villains accomplice are all common stereotypes found in melodramas.

The dialogue found in melodramas is typically verbose and wordy with flowery and sentimental language used to get a reaction from audience members, focusing less on action and more on sentimentality. Conflicts found in melodrama typically focus and revolve around love, home life, family issues, and marriage with an outside source often serving as the catalyst for the conflict; whether it's a stereotypical aristocratic villain or a temptress.

calling it now: the barbie movie is either gonna be

a critique on the expectations of women in society throughout the ages (the main barbie will go through a journey meeting past and present barbies)

barbie needing to save ken and it being a girl empowerment movie

a young girls story enacted by barbie’s (most want to see this, little girls come up with awesome stories)

how barbie has managed to stay popular for almost seventy years (maybe her fighting other dolls that represent doll brands like bratz, monster high, american girl, or cabbage patch)

literally just a normal barbie movie where she has to save the world and i’m overanalyzing this movie made for little kids

#jokes aside i will be in theatre watching this no matter what the plot is #the practical affects look amazing and the styling/cast is on point #barbie #barbie movie #barbie (2023) #my post

Installation - Realism

Realism is a movement in theatre that strives to be as realistic and as close to life as possible. It began as a way to include political philosophy, evolution, and human observation into a scene dominated by melodramas. The movement began with the purpose to better mankind as opposed to simply be entertaining. By using realistic and natural language, minimal spectacle, and usually simple lighting, realism was able to become a direct observation of human behavior on a stage. The goal of this theatre movement was to create a snapshot of real life; a look into something that could actually happen to someone, only in a theatre setting. Much of the time, the plots of these plays were day-to-day moments and ordinary scenarios that most audience members could personally relate to, whether it was something similar to the events of their own lives or the lives around them. Other movements and subsequent styles eventually sprung from the works of realism, like naturalism and independent theatre. Though these are fairly similar to realism, they are different in the fundamentals that make them up. Examples of this style include Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen and many of Anton Chekhov's works. In modern entertainment, many films and television shows have adopted the style of realism.

My installation is made up of everything that I use in my space as a stage manager. I set everything up as early as I could before a rehearsal and left it for people to observe. Each piece is placed in a way that I would actually place it were I truly there and working. I tried to make it as close to my actual setup as possible while also making it look nice and especially organized in the way that realism tends to shape realistic scenarios into a piece of art.
