His theatrics trumped his message about Spears, a 25-year-old woman who got called "trailer trash" for not appearing at an awards show with a flat belly, and Chris became one of the first Americans to become a household name through YouTube, a celebrity phenomenon now known as YouTubers.

While maintaining that it remains in lockstep with the United States, South Korea has forged ahead with efforts to engage with North Korea, even as critics accused Moon of naively focusing on feel-good theatrics at the expense of real progress in persuading North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons.

Juventus then wilted and finished with 10 men after Juan Cuadrado was sent off in the 84th minute – 18 minutes after coming on as a substitute – following a second booking for the mildest of pushes on defender Sergio Ramos, whose theatrics left a sour taste on an otherwise uplifting occasion.

Of the many directors Fassbinder admired, Mr. Thomsen says, the closest thing to an idol was Douglas Sirk (born Klaus Detlef Sierck in Hamburg) who used Hollywood conventions only to subvert them in movies like "Imitation of Life," a film with soap-opera theatrics that disguised an underlying social critique.
|
|
And it was perhaps Trump's most effective effort yet to harness the theatrics and symbolism of the presidency to position himself as the dominant player at a key political moment -- a skill he was slow to master in a tumultuous first year in office when his erratic behavior alienated many voters.

New York is lucky, however, to have seen the two dissimilar genres in quick succession: Kathakali is all-male (with some performers playing women), and dance is an incidental part of its physical theatrics; Nrityagram is all-female (with some dancers representing male deities), and dance is central to it.

For all of Mr. Trump's theatrics, the fear in the executive suites of ending up in the cross-hairs of the president-elect is real, according to Bill George, a former chief executive of Medtronic, a large medical equipment maker based in Minneapolis with over $30 billion in global revenues.

So loud are the theatrics in the film, and so absent is any semblance of a coherent storyline that we actually have the opposition lawyer sitting on a dharna (strike) when he doesn't agree with the judge, and people walking in and out of the witness box without so much as a notice.
|
|
Absent many details about the closed-door meetings, much of the coverage focused on the theatrics around the summit, including the seemingly "Game of Thrones"-themed gifts (the two leaders exchanged ornate swords) and the North Korean leader's somewhat sinister-looking choice of transport (Kim arrived from Pyongyang on an armored train).
|
|
Gucci's creative director Alessandro Michele, who's serving as a co-chair at this year's gala, regularly embraces camp themes whether it's with his gender-bending suits (beloved by Cate Blanchett and Harry Styles) or exaggerated theatrics at his shows (remember when he sent models down the catwalk carrying replicas of their own heads?).

The Saudi royal family is well known for its opulent tastes and love of theatrics, so having Trump, Sisi, and Salman simultaneously press their hands against the glowing orb — which, if you look closely, is a globe — was just their characteristically flashy way of officially declaring the new center open for business.
|
|
Over the series' eight episodes, Zeman's narrative, tone, and editing style shift from annoying theatrics and frustrating leaps from one unsourced hypothesis to the next into what it should have been all along: a sober, mostly straight-faced attempt to answer a much larger question about class and crime among America's underprivileged communities.
|
|
But then there are the less obvious similarities: The reality TV nature of the whole production, the winking "we all know this is fake, right?" element, the theatrics, the wildly-swinging storylines and the massive divide between the hoi polloi who love it and the elites who turn their noses up at it.
|
|
Looking back on the fight, on the eve of Tuesday's New York Republican primary, one can see Mr. Trump waging a much different sort of campaign, but with many of the same tactics — the threats, the theatrics, the penchant for hyperbole — that he has deployed in his quest for the Republican presidential nomination.

Lilienthal's seven volumes of published journals, written between the late nineteen-thirties and the early eighties, provide a distinctly mixed view of Willkie on his way up: "proud as the devil"; "too fast on his feet to be very dependable on any issue"; "a terrifically vital personality," but prone to bullying theatrics.
|
|
"It is deeply disappointing that elected representatives of the American people have chosen to engage in such inappropriate political theatrics," Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said, adding that no one would force the department "to break the law" by handing over documents that cannot be disclosed such as secret grand jury material.
|
|
The tawdry dance theatrics with which, in the final scene, Mr. Cranko accompanies Tchaikovsky's sublime "Francesca da Rimini" overture are especially wretched; at one point Tatiana lies flat on the floor so that (wow!) Onegin can tug her up into the air, with one of her feet coming near to kicking her head.

"Certainly in the six hours between the time that email hit your email box and the theatrics that happened in this chamber today you could have actually found out that you didn't have to be Spartacus, you didn't have to go interact with civil disobedience, you got what you wanted," Tillis said.

Onstage—where I was lucky enough to catch him multiple times through the years—Prince was an insatiable dynamo, someone who lived to deliver up there and tirelessly sang and pranced for hours, with a wealth of musical genius at his fingertips and a plethora of bad boy theatrics on his tongue.
|
|
But the hearing highlighted two things: First, there is a real opportunity for a televised trial of President Donald Trump's behavior; and second, such a trial, if it harnessed all the theatrics and color that Democrats can muster, could seize control of the news cycle from the man who has dominated it for years.
|
|
Aside from offshoring and drugs, there are a host of areas where Democrats could start pushing a more populist message that offers concrete alternatives to Trump's theatrics: support for unionization, raising the minimum wage, and a real infrastructure plan that involves not just tax incentives for private firms (as Trump's does) but actual government spending.

Service dogs-in-training — poodles and golden retrievers who help humans with autism and post-traumatic stress disorder — last week attended a live theater performance in Canada of the hit musical "Billy Elliot" as part of the canine curriculum, and the photo of attentive pooches calmly watching the theatrics from their seats went viral.
|
|
The combination of sonic textures and visual theatrics—a span of outfit changes, the swirl of undulating Kanda visuals projected on a huge screen behind which Arca periodically mixes when not singing on the runway— makes this a performance that first grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you, before enclosing you in a hug.
|
|
But when fears of Ebola gripped the city during his first year in office, Mr. de Blasio employed similar theatrics to calm fears — hugging an Ebola patient and eating at a restaurant where that man had dined — and he used his pulpit to support the broader efforts by medical workers to combat the deadly virus.
|
|
Last year, despite a constant series of bombshells about Donald Trump's evasion of taxes, allegations of sexual assault, racism and xenophobia, and his ties to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, the billionaire reality star was—with stunning support—elected to highest office in the world, based almost entirely on egregious lies, political theatrics, and unhinged emotion.
|
|
So does a painting from a parallel series, "Tribute to Winston Rose," which memorializes the 1981 death in police custody of a friend of Mr. Forrester's, and instantly shifts the ecstatic group portraiture and theatrics of the club pictures into a funereal register, with an open coffin ringed by mourners under a glowing streetlight.
|
|
After the gratuitous theatrics of the season premiere, watching Carol attempt to navigate the bizarre terrain of The Kingdom with a combination of incredulity and mistrust is both fascinating and unexpectedly hilarious — the look on her face when first confronted with "King Ezekiel" (Khary Payton) and his pet tiger Shiva is worth the price of admission alone.

"It is deeply disappointing that elected representatives of the American people have chosen to engage in such inappropriate political theatrics," Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement, adding that no one "will force the Department of Justice to break the law" by handing over documents that cannot be disclosed, such as secret grand jury materials.
|
|
I was there in Darien, New York, and in Camden, New Jersey, in 2003, for the first taste of Taking Back Sunday and the theatrics of Adam Lazzara, who would twirl a long microphone cord around like a yo-yo, in a manner which seemed both reckless and romantic, the mic swinging but always returning to his body.
|
|
The exaggerated androgyny of Missy Elliott, for instance, or the drag-inspired theatrics of Lady Gaga, or the tightly choreographed dance routines of Beyoncé, or even the way the word "work" seems to have crept into so many major pop songs in the past ten years, all of which harken to the pure DNA of the scene.
|
|
It would be a win-win partnership for both Italy and the US. Even if the Washington meeting turns out to be just theatrics of populist rhetoric, common intents and reciprocal praise, it is set to further irritate Germany and France and widen the rift between European allies at a delicate moment when Europe faces its deepest identity crisis.

" Students might consider their own American history textbook, especially as it portrays the events "Hamilton" covers, and then try to answer some of the questions we pose in that lesson, such as: "Hamilton" and Politics Today "Rarely has political theater overlapped so much with political theatrics," wrote Patrick Healy in an August 2015 piece, " 'Hamilton' and the Republican Hopefuls.

In private conversations over the last year, people who were new to Mr. Trump in the White House, which was most of the West Wing staff, have tried to process the president's speaking style, his temper, his disinterest in formal briefings, his obsession with physical appearances and his concern about the theatrics and excitement of his job.
|
|
His absence has left a disappointed House majority with little option but to stage political theatrics like Thursday's 12-hour reading of the entire redacted Mueller report in a hideaway Capitol committee room before a few reporters, a guest appearance by the liberal activist actor John Cusack and the unblinking eye of a C-Span camera.
|
|
And as impulsive and unpredictable as the president's actions may be, firing Mr. Bolton reveals a certain consistency in Mr. Trump's worldview: Though attracted to never-been-done theatrics like bringing the Taliban to Camp David or meeting with Mr. Kim, the president is also moored by suspicion of military adventures and has a huge appetite for deals.
|
|
Trump resigned the presidency already — if we regard the job as one of moral stewardship, if we assume that an iota of civic concern must joust with self-regard, if we expect a president's interest in legislation to rise above vacuous theatrics, if we consider a certain baseline of diplomatic etiquette to be part of the equation.

Interwoven in Xanther's story is her father, Anwar, whose work in game design provides some of the book's more compelling evocations (proving Danielewski isn't devoid of talent, and that perhaps he should rely on language more often than formatting theatrics), but still only semi-absently revolving around references to the structure of the characters as characters, the plot as illusory and hyperbolically blank.
|
|
And yet, perhaps what is equally important to remember – in this age when people are famous for being famous – Plimack Mangold does not claim to make a big statement, does not resort to sturm und drang theatrics, does not make a post-easel-sized painting, does not declare that some aspect or occurrence in her early life has made her special.
|
|
Such a quaint ideal and needless effort this service obligation seems now, when exhibitionism in the pseudoraw is what gets rewarded, thanks in large measure to the phony theatrics of reality TV, which turned the social theorist Daniel Boorstin's notion of a celebrity — someone famous for being famous — into a terrarium thronged with dance moms, mob wives and Honey Boo Boos.
|
|
Highlights from the rookies and relative newcomers included absurd theatrics (think mud-caked dancers) and sumptuous tailoring from Charles Jeffrey with his label Loverboy, and the charming work of James Theseus Buck and Luke Brooks, known collectively as Rottingdean Bazaar, who found many fans with their jerseys emblazoned with socks and stockings and T-shirts heat-printed with fragments of Coptic textile.

Naturally, Mama — "founder and director emeritus of the Mt. Vernon High Dramatic League as well as the first soloist at the Greater Centennial A.M.E. Zion Church, lead pastor Reverend Winston Rice, for the past 15 years" — takes the lead once again, drastically dialing down the theatrics when she coaches her granddaughter through the scene in which Elizabeth mourns her son.
|
|
While White House counsel Pat Cipollone is still expected to play a central role in Trump's defense, Trump has seriously considered bringing on at least four of his fiercest House allies to lay out a minority response to Democrats' report, which could provide the President with some of the theatrics he believes he deserves in his quest to clear his name.
|
|
The much-threatened courtroom drama over Celeste's husband's death never fully materialized, and the reveal of the oft-hinted-at details behind the death of Mary Louise's other son turned the in-court boxing match between the two women into the kind of over-the-top soap opera theatrics this show has never quite learned how to balance with its straight-faced tone and deeply earnest acting.
|
|
As for Trump — whose campaign theatrics feel like a one-man show, and whose history as a registered Democrat can make his contorted appeals to the far right seem like put-ons — well, not for nothing is there a conspiratorial segment insisting that his candidacy is a winking performance, which will eventually end with the admission that he may have laid it on a little thick.
|
|
The less said the better about the theatrics of an opening ceremony that combined elements of Cirque du Soleil with a visit to Epcot to produce a spectacle with all the appeal of a public service announcement, one whose oddball highlight might have been the Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen's taking a victory lap in what was billed as her last-ever strut down a catwalk.
|
|
At that time, Ms. Twain was a cross-genre titan, a country singer who — with her then-husband Mutt Lange, the producer who boosted the sound of AC/DC and Def Leppard — made titanic, eclectic music that infuriated Nashville purists with its flashy embrace of pop theatrics, but still dominated the charts and made Ms. Twain a megastar with a Rolling Stone cover and rotation on MTV.
|
|
The last two represent a fresh dose of culture war aimed at rallying Putin's politically conservative base—which, along with the parliamentary theatrics, the Kremlin deems necessary because only about a quarter of Russians in polls wish to see Putin remain president after his current constitutional term ends in 2024—statistically the same as the share of Russians who say Putin should become a private citizen.
|
|
The first was a straight tango (full of give and take, constantly suspenseful), the second a tango-valse (rapturous and witty), the third a near-tragic piece of lyricism that, for all its lack of theatrics, turned out to contain its own drama: an attempted kiss on his part, a break away from her, a forlorn retreat by him, and finally a sudden, tender reconciliation and embrace.
|
|
Such a pity that this patchiness persists, because I strongly believe that if this collection were halved — forgoing completeness for a much slimmer critical anthology without the flamboyant theatrics — and made into a leaner, smaller, less expensive, more portable and accessible paperback book (like the ones that made Semiotext(e) rightly famous in the '80s) the inherent worth of Indiana's cultural contribution to art history would be greatly enhanced.

"The reason the world pays attention to him is not just because he has a few nuclear weapons, but more because of his image as a leader with mystical power, his absolute control over a highly consolidated, regimented and disciplined country," said Chung Byung-ho, an anthropologist at Hanyang University in South Korea, who examined the role of theatrics in North Korean politics in a book he wrote with another scholar.
|
|
It may not have matched the theatrics of the first meeting between Mr. Trump and Mr. Kim last June in Singapore, when Mr. Kim took a nighttime walk through the city center (and posed for selfies with the Singaporean foreign minister), and Mr. Trump showed Mr. Kim a slick Hollywood-style video on an iPad, touting the promising future he says awaits the North if it gives up its nuclear arms.
|
|
At the same time, he's taking the world closer to the brink with North Korea, exacerbating a nuclear crisis with no clear face saving exit for himself or dictator Kim Jong Un. And he took another blow on the chin on Tuesday night, when his favored candidate lost Alabama's Republican Senate primary to Roy Moore, an iconoclast who showed up to vote on horseback and who makes his own theatrics seem tame.
|

And in turn I think Catholicism totally fed my love of horror films—but my love of these films, and of dark music with gruesome theatrics—Alice Cooper was a favorite as a kid—also made me realize that it was possible to engage with these things and not be evil—so when musicians like Ozzy Osbourne were persecuted, or kids who played Dungeons and Dragons were portrayed as being under Satan's spell, I felt it, because I knew that could be me.
