Week 6
The Golden Age
I want to expose you to this film as it holds real magic and inspiration with icons of the broadway stage being interviewed. It contextualises the magic, hardship and dream fulfilling nature of Broadway that bloomed in the Golden Age.
Treat this like a research task.
Absorb, posit, note, ingest, question & conclude.
Today's lecture will be spent watching an 11 award winning documentary:
Broadway: The Golden Age, by the Legends Who Were There
The Golden Age
Golden Culture:
Resonance with the Times | Values of Americana displayed on Stage. Enrapturing experiences | New York Characterised | Training is legit & jazz Theatre. Community. Camaraderie | Hollywood Happenings | Instinct for Naturalism, Birthed from Showtime | Fantasy of the Real | Fallacy of Genius relating to Suffering | Undercurrent of poverty | American Dream Idolised
Notes I picked up on:
There's a real beauty and ability showcased with every interview here, it feels that a community is being let loose with the idea of establishing a fantasy, executing it flawlessly and in doing so, becomes real.
Fantasy reality Dynamic at play.
