THIS EVENT HAS TAKEN PLACE
Presented by BRYONY DIXON, HELEN DAY-MAYER and PROFESSOR DAVID MAYER
The purpose of this lecture-demonstration is to explicate the Victorian and Edwardian Stage on Film Project and to exhibit films which captured performances, theatrical repertoire, and technologies of the Victorian stage. There will be discussion of the resources available to researchers, of reading Victorian performance in the gestural codes of early film, and of theatrical materials and theatrical scenery adapted for the screen.
Bryony Dixon is Keeper of Silent Film at the BFI. David Mayer is Emeritus Professor and Research Professor in the School of Music and Drama at the University of Manchester; his many publications, of which the most recent is Stagestruck Filmmaker: DW Griffith and the American Theatre (2009), are often concerned with the interstices between theatre and early film.
