Rider University has acquired the Theatre Performance & Design Collection. Acquisition of this database supports the BFA in Acting for Film, Television and Theatre (BFA).
About the Resource:
Theatre Performance & Design Collection brings together Alexander Street’s premiere collections of video performances, audio dramas, and designs. Combining the most important video content types used in theatre education (filmed stage performances, masterclasses, documentaries) with top-of-the-line teaching tools (playlists, video clips, on-screen transcripts), and production designs, there really is no better way for faculty to bring the brilliance of stage right into their classrooms.
Included in the collection are:
• 300 audio plays from L.A. Theatre Works
• 750 hours of filmed stage performances, documentaries, and video training materials, including over 50 premium performances of plays and musicals from the BBC, Royal Shakespeare Company, and the UK's National Theatre
• 100,000 pages of primary and secondary design resources, including sketches, photographs, technical drawings, monographs, articles, and dissertations.
• 40,000 pages of monumental reference works, encyclopedias, images, flyers, playbills, postcards, scrapbooks, and other resources
