- W53243676 abstract "The central purpose of this thesis is to explore and document the position of thetechnical director within the American theatre during the 20th century and into the presentday. The research focuses more heavily on the earliest origins found in the existingliterature and subsequently traces the position into more recent years and the manifestationsof the job therein. The thesis also endeavors to lay a framework for bridging the origins ofthe job to its current incarnations. To this end, a significant amount of new research iscontributed to the field of theatre history. To the author's knowledge, no such workpreviously existed in the historical canon of theatre literature prior to this thesis. Much ofthe information contained herein was assimilated from various technical manuals writtenthroughout the 20th century. These manuals were not written to be historical sourcematerial, but were concerned with the pragmatic details of technical theatre. Much had to beascertained by reading between the lines. The research is not merely concerned with numbers or statistical data, but also withwhat type of individuals are drawn to this position and how they got there. To this end personal interviews were utilized and incorporated as a significant part of this project. Theinformation gleaned from the interviews offers a clear picture of who is currentlyperforming this job, the career trajectory those individuals followed to arrive at their currentpositions, and presents unique insights into what draws people into this type of work andholds their interest throughout a career. The findings show that the role evolved significantly regarding aspects such asspecific job functions within certain types of producing organizations. Other aspects such asattention to detail, organization, decision-making, and proficiency in a range of skills haveexisted virtually unchanged since the advent of the position, when it was often notacknowledged as a separate and specific role in the theatre. In light of ever-increasingtechnological demands the findings also demonstrate that, gradually, the position oftechnical director is being more widely recognized as critical and integral to the theatre as anindustry." @default.
