Expressionist Theater: Crash Course Theater #38
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лис 2018
- Join us here, in the darkness. Our theater journey takes us into the heart of expressionism today, as playwrights in the late 19th and early 20th centuries explored the limits of human beings' tolerance for a mechanized, industrial world. Spoiler alert: those playwrights didn't think humans fared very well in the industrialized world. They EXPRESSED that concern about modernity through some pretty dark plays, with pretty dark sets, and pretty dark content.

The person who decided to make Crash Course theater should get the world's most awesome nerd ever award!
The real question is how this series gets me emotionally attached to a strung-up fake skull.
I am also very attached to Yorick. -stan
No one truely knows!
😂😂😂😂😂
Expressionist theater, the goth of the drama world.
I recall watching the opera Wozzeck.
Scary stuff.
From the way I see it, Expressionism was like the echo of all the screams of the dying in the first World War.
Amazing, and perfectly uncomfortable show.
By Alban Berg wich I didn't know class test and now can never Forget..
every episode:
*Me:* _ooh, that's interesting_
*Mike:* _... but, we're saving that for [another time]_
Literally most of crash courses videos
See I'm pissed cause they keep beating around Susan glaspell
Wow, perfect upload timing. I have an essay on expressionist film due at the end of this weekend for my university film history course that I've been suffering with writer's block towards, but this gave me tons of inspiration. Time to go write a killer introductory paragraph.
Watching these each week is one of my favorite parts of Friday night. :)
Ahhh. Mike is always here to make my Theatre Elective heart soar, even when I feel awful!
this course has given more more information on the history of theatre than my theatre degree so far... big love
Great video i‘ve been waiting for a long time for! Thanks
I've never been so interested in theatre before. Thanks crash course
YASSS! THANK YOU!! Thanks for not letting us wait😊☺‼❗
I’m sorry but “sentient skulls” is probably the best term for humans that I’ve ever heard.
I’ve been waiting for this Spring Awakening reference for so long, yes!
Please bring it back for something with Deaf West later when we get to musicals, because deaf representation is cool
I know this is theater and not movies, but I notice a style overlap between this and the silent film "Metropolis."
Metropolis is also considered to use Expressionist aesthetics, so you're right for sensing similarities ;)
Expressionism was huge in cinema too, look up The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
They're part of the same movement
loved the chair creek in the intro, nice touch.
Just THANK YOU for all your great work :-))) Not even a theatre buff, but muchly enjoyed nonetheless.
I love the way he shoots out facts like bullets lol like a machine gunn
Love this series.
Love this channel ❤️🔥🔥
This is my favorite of this series
*You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.*
You are aware this is a theater series not literature. 2/10 for loss of focus
Example of expressionist acting today: Nicholas Cage! He cites it as his number 1 inspiration.
"Uggh, reality. Have you seen reality? Why bother."
Same
Great episode!
Mike great job. Clear, well written, and well spoken. Compare the other mealy mouthed rambling videos of others on UA-cam.
8:44 SOME OF THOSE WHO WORK FORCES-
Love that intro.
I studied "Hairy ape" in one of my uni courses,it's really interesting ❤👏
Interesting video :) But what a weird combo reference to the music group Aqua and Queen at 7:56. And it was not that "Doctor Jones".
"Curtain...but a weird one!"
Can't wait for the broadway musical episode!!
I had to read Woyzeck in class, I learned that you really can get shizophrenie from Eating to much peas.
yay new video
heh. in charge of bavarian ssr for a red hot second.
also i believe at 7:12 you possibly mispronounced it. Wheezywaiter pronounced it in what i'm guessing is the original french in the movie series.
Educational!
Expressionists do it grotesquely.
I'm really surprised he didn't mention anything about Kandinsky in this video!
Is Mike afraid of the dark? I like the Van Gogh connection to expressionism theater
When are you getting to Brecht and epic theater? Can’t wait for that episode!
Soon!
@@crashcourse Phew, I just scoured through all the episodes, thinking I must have missed it. I teach drama and wanted my students to watch it... Looking forward to it!
Also Beckett
Mike, it's going to more than a malfunctioning 135 to keep me away from you
This is a long shot, but I was wondering if Crash Course has a link to "Truth in Error" by Strindberg
Crash course should do a series on law!
2:37 Please does anybody know where this image is from??
What about the expressionist focus on the thought the world needs to be broken to be fixed, which made everything so dark
But hey! That's just a theory!
A drama theory!
Nice intro
What about Edith Sitwell in 'Facade'?
Do an episode on absurdism!
I bet he'll forget Eugene Ionesco too
SUSAN GLASPELL!!
*Metal Crotch Guy*
Curtain... but a weird one.
Hoopla i'm alive
This is weird to watch right after watching "a lukewarm defense"
how come?
@@qwertyman1511 Mike read out loud Christian Grey's dialogue for Dan Olsen's "a lukewarm defense of fifty shades" series. The last installment was published at about the same time as this.
+radicalbacon ah, i got used to hearing everyone everywhere.
A lot plays are based "on actual murders" what's up with that?
Fernando Franco Félix Pulled from the headlines is a standard that predates police procedurals.
EXPRESSIONist types in america all went to Europe to express, Gordon -Craig was love of isadora Duncan the 1st expressionist dancer. it too bad you didnt combine the dance-theater in Germany n France as part of this section, n new cinema-art. but over al OUTSTANDING exposer to the nitemare of pre/post WW I on the western world...life informs art
В школе нам рассказывают меньше, чем я узнаю на этом канале!
I hate to be this guy but "mise en scène" is pronounced mise en "sayne" not "seen"
As said correctly many times in Crash Course Film History
He's also severely butchering the name Van Gogh. If you asked for what he's saying in the Netherlands, you'd just get a bag of liquorice. Venco is a popular brand. Don't people do any research before making a video?
@@Marco_Onyxheart buddy chill. Crash course does a lot if research for every episode. Just because he doesnt say "VAHN GAUCGH" or however you pronounce it, doesnt mean the facts he presents about the man are wrong. Thats a fallacy in itself.
No it isn't? Should be senn not sayne.
He's just a floating head why am i uncomfortable
Why does everybody always pronounce Vincents van Gogh last name as: van Go? the gh in his name is a hard G. not a silent vowel
Please Get Turkish subtitles
The more I learn about theater, the less I like it.

See you brought up American expressionism and Eugene O'Neil but you continue to ignore Susan glaspell who inspired Sophie Treadwell stop erasing this women she was amazing and was a mentor to O'neile i am so angry
Why can people making videos never research how to pronounce names correctly before talking about them? It's Van Gogh, not Venco. There are letters. They're supposed to be pronounced.
I studied "Hairy ape" in one of my uni courses,it's really interesting ❤👏
