Professor Emeritus Mel Gordon Dies at 71
from UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies
(2018/4/7 7:37)
|
Melvin Gordon, a multifaceted theater scholar who was a world expert in Stanislavsky and acting theory, died on March 22 in Richmond, Calif., due to complications of renal failure. He was 71.
Gordon spent much of his career at the University of California, Berkeley?s department of theater, dance, and performance studies (formerly the department of dramatic art) at UC Berkeley as a faculty member from 1990-2015.
While at Berkeley, the inquisitive and light-hearted Gordon was known for lively and provocative undergraduate teaching, which included theater history, playwriting, acting, and a very popular course on bad acting. He also taught about less-studied theater traditions in circus and Yiddish theater.
Gordon?s wide range of publications included books and articles on Commedia dell’arte (Lazzi); Yiddish theater; the Grand Guignol (1988/1997); and a number of more or less sensational aspects of German popular and political culture of the 1920s and 1930s: ?Voluptuous Panic ...
