[edit] Hi

Hi April, good to see another permacultralist on wikipedia. You edits to permaculture look good, although I feel the page might be repeating itself a bit. The whole article could do with a tidy and restructuring. --Salix alba (talk) 13:41, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vaudeville edits

Just dropping a line to say that I'm reverting most of your recent edits on the vaudeville page. I must confess I don't understand where a lot of the contentions come from. Vaudeville was (and the genre is avowedly past tense in the 21st century) not a melodramatic form. As an historically situated dramatic genre, "melodrama" has a fairly well defined place in theatre history. (See David Grimstead's Melodrama Unveiled for a good overview.) If, however, you employ the term "melodramatic" as a metaphor (i.e. overly emotional, overly dramatic), it was not that either (in any cumulative sense). Some sketches were brief melodramas, of course--though few--but others were juggling dogs, yodelers, or opera vocalists. More important, the vaudeville written of in this WP article is the historically situated United States/Canadian entertainment form that lasted from the the early 1880s to the early 1930s. Traditionally, it began with Tony Pastor's "clean show" (1881) and ended with the Palace shifting over to predominantly cinema (1932). Definitionally, vaudeville depended on a performer base, a travel route, circuits, a star system, etc., It has therefore not been practiced in any real sense for over seventy years. Sponge Bob and Monty Python are in no way vaudeville. One might say they often play upon the Rabelaisian spirit associated with many vaudeville comic acts (e.g., The Three Keatons), but keep in mind vaudeville also contained harp soloists, classical recitation, clog dancing, scenes from "Faust," and lectures from famed explorers. Simply locating one small element in other forms--in this case, the madcap comedy you seem to seem to associate with it--does not resuscitate a deceased form of entertainment. Many of the examples you name, in fact, would be more fairly described as "variety performance:" variegated acts presented in a related sequence. "Muppet Show" or "Saturday Night Live" would also be instances of this. Folks who use the term "vaudeville" to refer to any of these phenomena do so in the loosest, most colloquial, and/or least historically grounded manner. One would never include the example of Watergate, which John Dean described as "a cancer on the presidency," for example, in the WP article on cancer. For a good overview of vaudeville, see Robert Snyder's The Voice of the City. Thanks for all your interest in the field. --Patchyreynolds 05:46, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
