Folk festivals should not be confused with the gatherings of folk revival musicians or the traditional indigenous celebrations of shared values. Folklorists and administrators create folk (or folklife) festivals in order to demonstrate and nuture folkways. These events represent attempts to demonstrate traditional culture to the public in formats other than scholarly articles. They generally include traditional music, crafts and food in a performance and/or workshop format, aiming for a down-home spirit between performers and patrons. We describe these festivals variously as created, contrived, induced, constructed, synthetic, or simulated.

Abstract The aim of this article is to identify the role and the identity of the young Romanian dramatist within the context of the collaborative theatre in our country. The main means of research have been the interview and the participatory assistance by actual involvement in the making of a performance. We started from the premise that the difficulties met throughout the work process begin as early as the study years at the faculty, as a result of the lack of communication between the departments from the Faculties of Theatre.

Chapter 2 concerns the free fantasy and its relationship to the public concert life that emerged after 1815. Its main protagonists are Johann Nepomuk Hummel, the undisputed master of improvised free fantasia in this period, and his rival Ignaz Moscheles. Hummel’s free fantasias were admired for hybridizing the learned style of the kapellmeisters with the popular style associated with modern virtuosi, modeling a solution to one of the period’s major problems: the gap between experts and laypersons. In private circumstances Hummel improvised in a different way addressed to the values of connoisseurs alone, and some critics objected to his more “popular” public fantasies on given themes. Moscheles’s approach to free fantasies accented the hedonistic values of the genre, and in his reception we find the first stirrings of the improvisation imaginary. This chapter considers how improvisation served as a performance of authority and learnedness rooted in the kapellmeister network, a network that includes Mendelssohn, the little-known Carl Maria von Bocklet, and Hummel’s most celebrated student, Ferdinand Hiller.

As the public voice to protect traditional culture is upsurging gradually today, it is significant to study the wood drum of the traditional Wa culture so as to better protect and exploit the culture. This essay, mainly consisting of three parts: the origin of the wood drum, its functions and its cultural meanings, aims to interprate the important role of the wood drum in the Wa community form a new perspective. Through the study of the three aspects, it is concluded that the reasons why wood drums have played such a crucial role in the Wa community are mainly derived form the primitive society the Wa nationality was in and its surroundings. Therefore, to exploite the wood drum of the Wa nationality can not only protect the nation’s traditional culture but can also improve its tourism economy.

This article focuses on an incident of censorship and police intervention at the Königstädtische Theater in Berlin in 1828, occasioned by a performance of Gotthilf August von Maltitz'sThe Old Student(Der alte Student). Identifying how the playwright and his actors sought to represent political topics onstage allows me to explore how theatre functioned as a potential player in an incipient public sphere. In turn this reveals how the desire to represent political topics onstage and to become a performative player in the public sphere was already under way in the 1820s, well before the revolutionary turbulence of 1848.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a creative-comprehensive approach (CCA) when compared with a performance approach (PA) on the acquisition of basic music concepts and skills by general college students. In the CCA, students were directly involved in the process of creating original music by assuming the roles of composer, performer, and analytic listener. Students in the PA were engaged in the performance and aural analysis of preselected folk and traditional music. A pretest-posttest design involving intact groups was used as the method of research. The resulting effects of the two instructional modes on three dependent variables revealed no difference in achievement on aural discrimination competence from pretest to post-test in the sampled groups. There was, however, evidence suggesting that the CCA was superior to the PA in developing students' self-confidence in dealing with basic music concepts and skills. Additional data indicated a slight, but not significant, difference in performance achievement between the two groups in favor of the CCA.
