Download Stage Flying Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The idea of flying has always captivated earthbound humans. When mortals invented gods and demons, the supernaturals came equipped with the power of flight. And humans, being envious, wished that they too could float free, soar like a bird or stand calmly on nothing. So from the beginning, when the legends of gods and the stories of man were told in theatre, flying has often been a part of the action. The theatrical act of a human flying is a scenic wonder. It began in religious plays, continued in church celebrations, and has had a place in a host of theatrical forms -- opera, the fairy play, vaudeville, melodrama, pantomime and spectacle. The apparatus for staging flight has taken its place among a host of other stage machines intended to illustrate a play's story.

Download Taking to the Air Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The possibilities of flight have long fascinated us. Each innovation captivated a broad public, from those who gathered to witness winged medieval visionaries jumping from towers, to those who tuned in to watch the moon landings. Throughout history, the visibility of airborne objects from the ground has made for a spectacle of flight, with sizeable crowds gathering for eighteenth-century balloon launches and early twentieth-century air shows. Taking to the Air tells the history of flight through the eye of the spectator and, later, the passenger. Focusing on moments of great cultural impact, this book is a visual celebration of the wonder of flight, based on the large and diverse collection of print imagery held by the British Library. It is a study of how flight has been pictured through time.
