Fishamble Tiny Plays

Beschreibung

Over a decade, Fishamble commissioned and called for submissions of tiny plays that reflected major changes in Irish society from 2011-2021. Inviting playwrights to submit plays of less than 600 words, the company produced 50 tiny plays in Tiny Plays for Ireland, 10 tiny plays in Tiny Plays 24/7, and 10 tiny plays in partnership with ESB in Tiny Plays for a Brighter Future.
These productions of tiny plays created a patchwork quilt of theatre to reflect the times through which we were living.  They were performed in Project Arts Centre Dublin, Irish Arts Center New York, and Kennedy Center Washington DC, as well as shared online.  This anthology publishes all 70 tiny plays, providing an invaluable resource of four-minute plays for actors, directors, students, and teachers.

Rocky - The Ultimate Trivia...

Film Trivia Metaverse

ROCKY
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY JOHN G. AVILDSEN
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE
ABOUT THE FILM
Rocky (1976) is a powerful sports drama directed by John G. Avildsen, written by and starring Sylvester Stallone. The film follows Rocky Balboa, an uneducated but determined Italian-American boxer living in Philadelphia. Working as a debt collector for a loan shark, Rocky gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight Apollo Creed, the heavyweight champion, after Creed's opponent drops out. With the help of his trainer Mickey and support from his love interest Adrian, Rocky trains for the biggest fight of his life. The movie explores themes of perseverance, self-worth, and the pursuit of the American Dream against all odds.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“According to Burt Young, during filming of the scene where Paulie walks home drunk, an actual drunk wandered onto the location and told Young he wasn't acting drunk convincingly, so Young asked the man to demonstrate it. Young then copied the man's actions for the scene.”
“The ice rink scene was originally written to feature 300 extras, but the production couldn't afford so many people. When Sylvester Stallone turned up to shoot the scene, to his horror, there was only one extra. So, Stallone hastily threw together the scene as it exists in the completed film. This scene has become one of the most popular in the entire Rocky saga.”
“Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers suffered injuries during the shooting of the final fight: Stallone suffered bruised ribs, and Weathers suffered a damaged nose, the opposite injuries of what their characters had.”

Whiplash - The Ultimate Trivia...

Film Trivia Metaverse

WHIPLASH
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY DAMIEN CHAZELLE
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE
ABOUT THE FILM
Whiplash is a psychological drama that follows Andrew Neiman, an ambitious young jazz drummer at a prestigious music conservatory. Eager to prove his talent, Andrew is pushed to the extreme by Terence Fletcher, a ruthless and demanding bandleader who uses harsh, abusive tactics to shape his students into perfection. The film explores themes of obsession, sacrifice, and the cost of pursuing greatness. Through intense, emotional practice sessions and competition, Andrew faces the tension between his artistic ambition and personal well-being. The narrative delves into the extremes of mentorship and the pursuit of excellence in a highly competitive environment.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“During intense practice scenes, director Damien Chazelle wouldn’t call for a “cut,” forcing Miles Teller to keep drumming until he was physically exhausted.”
“Damien Chazelle, the film's director and writer, struggled to get funding for Whiplash, so he turned it into a short film. The short was well-received and helped him secure funding for the feature-length version.”
“In the slapping scene, J.K. Simmons and Miles Teller filmed several takes where the slap was mimed. However, for the final take, they decided to go for a real slap, which made it into the film.”
“All of Andrew's drumming scenes were performed by Miles Teller, though a visual double was used in some shots. Approximately 40% of Teller’s drumming was included in the film’s soundtrack.”

Miles Davis' Bitches Brew

George Grella Jr.

It was 1969, and Miles Davis, prince of cool, was on the edge of being left behind by a dynamic generation of young musicians, an important handful of whom had been in his band. Rock music was flying off in every direction, just as America itself seemed about to split at its seams. Following the circumscribed grooves and ambiance of In A Silent Way; coming off a tour with a burning new quintet—called ‘The Lost Band’—with Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette; he went into the studio with musicians like frighteningly talented guitarist John McLaughlin, and soulful Austrian keyboardist Joe Zawinul. Working with his essential producer, Teo Macero, Miles set a cauldron of ideas loose while the tapes rolled. At the end, there was the newly minted Prince of Darkness, a completely new way forward for jazz and rock, and the endless brilliance and depth of Bitches Brew.Bitches Brew is still one of the most astonishing albums ever made in either jazz or rock. Seeming to fuse the two, it actually does something entirely more revolutionary and open-ended: blending the most avant-garde aspects of Western music with deep grooves, the album rejects both jazz and rock for an entirely different idea of how music can be made.
