Monica Attard

Monica Attard ħadmet bħala attriċi sa minn età żgħira ħafna. Hija ssemmi tliet elementi ewlenin li sawru l-formazzjoni u x-xogħol tagħha fuq il-palk. Fost dawn, insibu qabelxejn it-talent spontanju – li fuqu Attard kienet partikolarment tistrieħ meta ħadmet l-ewwel interpretazzjonijiet tagħha mal-grupp [[Chains]] (Tas-Sliema). It-tieni element huwa l-osservazzjoni ta’ atturi oħrajn; fosthom [[Johnny Navarro]], [[Ġemma Portelli]], [[Karmen Azzopardi]] u [[Charles Clews]]. Clews kien propju l-bniedem li inkoraġġiha biex taħdem fuq ir-rejdjow. Aktar tard, Attard saħħet dawn iż-żewġ elementi bl-esperjenza aktar teknika li kisbet mit-taħriġ li ħadet fl-iskola tal-i[[MTADA]]. Fost l-għalliema tal-i[[MTADA]], hija ħadmet ma’ [[Adrian Rendle]] u [[Peter Cox]] u tgħid kif l-għarfien tal-impostazzjoni tal-vuċi kienet l-aktar prassi teknika importanti li kisbet minn dan il-kuntest.

Attard ħadmet ma’ kumpaniji varji bħal [[Maleth]], [[Atturi]], [[Koperatturi]] u, aktar riċenti, [[Masquerade]]. Hija tiddeskrivi x-xogħol fuq il-palk bħal opportunità li tesperjenza karattri u emozzjonijiet differenti, riżultat tal-varjetà kbira ta’ interpretazzjonjiet li tat matul karriera li llum tlaħħaq l-erbgħin sena. L-ewwel li Attard għamlet isem kien permezz ta’ interpretazzjonijiet fi drammi ta’ [[William Shakespeare]], fosthom Hermione ([[The Winter’s Tale]]), Cleopatra ([[Anthony and Cleopatra]]), [[Lady Macbeth]] (Macbeth), u Beatrice ([[Much Ado About Nothing]]). Ma’ dawn, Attard iżżid bħala milestones personali x-xogħol tagħha fuq il-karattri ta’ Selima ([[Il-Ġaħan ta’ Binġemma]], kitba ta’ [[Francis Ebejer]]) u, aktar riċenti, Sylvia Gellburg ([[Broken Glass]], kitba ta’ [[Arthur Miller]]) u Sister Aloysius Beauvier ([[Doubt: a parable]], kitba ta’ [[John Patrick Shanley]]).

Karmen Azzopardi

Karmen Azzopardi twieldet fl-1934, u ma damitx m’għamlet isem bħala attriċi versatili ħafna. Matul is-snin ħamsin, it-talenti tagħha kienu mfittxija minn bosta kumpaniji. Fost dawn kien hemm il-[[Malta Drama League]], il-[[Kumpanija Gioventù Cattolica]], il-[[Manoel Amateur Dramatic Club]] u l-[[Maleth]].

Partikolarment importanti kienet l-esperjenza li Azzopardi kisbet mal-grupp Ingliż f’Malta, il-[[British Institute Players]]. Din mhux talli wasslet biex Azzopardi taħdem ma’ diretturi professjonali Ingliżi bħal [[Adrian Stanley]], [[Ken Dodding]] u [[Cecil Bellamy]], iżda wkoll biex titħarreġ Londra mal-[[Actor’s Studio]] fl-arti drammatika, u saħansitra fix-xogħol tar-radju mal-BBC.

Is-snin sittin raw lil Azzopardi taħdem mill-qrib ma’ [[Francis Ebejer]], il-kittieb li hi tqis responsabbli għall-iżvilupp tat-teatru modern f’Malta. Ebejer u Azzopardi rawmu relazzjoni professjonali mibnija fuq l-għarfien li t-tnejn kellhom tal-kwalitajiet ta’ xulxin. Azzopardi tgħid li Ebejer fassal bosta karattri maħsuba speċifikament biex jiġu interpretati minnha u oħrajn biex jiġu interpretati minn atturi speċifiċi oħrajn.

Fl-1974 Azzopardi waqqfet il-grupp [[Atturi Theatre Group]], flimkien mal-Kav. [[Paul Naudi]]. Din ġiet deskritta bħala l-ewwel kumpanija ta’ repertorju f’Malta maħsuba biex jittellgħu xogħlijiet ta’ kwalità, kemm bil-Malti kif ukoll bl-Ingliż, u dan fuq bażi konsistenti. Azzopardi kienet waħda mill-attriċi ewlenin tal-grupp, u ħadmet partijiet impenjattivi bħal [[Hedda Gabler]] (fid-dramm bl-istess isem, ta’ [[Henrik Ibsen]]), [[Filumena Marturano]] (ta’ [[Eduardo de Filippo]]) u [[Mother Courage]] (ta’ [[Bertholt Brecht]]). Azzopardi serviet ukoll bħala chairperson tal-istess kumpanija, u kienet tikkontribwixxi kemm fl-għażla tat-testi u tal-parteċipanti kif ukoll fil-ħidma ta’ kuljum tal-kumpanija.

Fost premjijiet oħrajn, fl-2002 Azzopardi rċeviet il-[[Midalja għall-Qadi tar-Repubblika]], għall-kontribut li tat lejn l-iżvilupp tat-teatru f’Malta.

John Suda twieled il-Marsa fl-1951. L-esperjenza tiegħu fuq il-palk bdiet minn età tenera ħafna, kemm fl-iskola primarja kif ukoll f’kuntesti oħrajn amatorjali. Sa mill-ewwel esperjenza tiegħu fit-[[Teatru Manoel]], meta interpreta l-parti ta’ Pilatu fid-dramm [[Proċess lil Ġesù]] (kitba oriġinali ta’ [[Diego Fabbri]], maqlub għall-Malti minn [[Joe Friggieri]] u [[Frans Sammut]]), Suda ħadem biex jiżviluppa t-teknika teatrali tiegħu – żvilupp li jqisu bħala proċess ta’ formazzjoni kontinwa li jgħin lill-attur jaddatta l-prassi tiegħu għall-età li jkun fiha. Suda jidentifika wkoll l-osservazzjoni bħala għodda teatrali importanti, kemm fil-ħajja ta’ kuljum kif ukoll fix-xogħol teatrali u artistiku b’mod ġenerali. F’dan is-sens, Suda jħossu xxurtjat li kellu l-opportunità jaħdem ma’ personalitajiet bħal [[Karmenu Gruppetta]], [[Francis Ebejer]] u [[Oliver Reed]].

John Suda kellu sehem fit-twaqqif tal-kumpanija [[Koperatturi]] (1985), flimkien ma’ [[Alfred Mallia]], [[Karmenu Aquilina]], [[Michael Tabone]] u [[Manuel Cauchi]]. Il-versatilità ta’ Suda bħala attur tidher fl-għażla tal-aktar karattri sinifikattivi li interpreta tul is-sittin sena karriera tiegħu fuq il-palk: [[Richard III]] ([[William Shakespeare]]), [[is-Surmast]] ([[Trevor Zahra]]), [[Faust]] ([[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]]) u [[Edipu s-Sultan]] ([[Sofokli]]). Suda ta wkoll sehem estensiv fl-iżvilupp tal-edukazzjani teatrali f’pajjiżna, kemm fi ħdan l-i[[MTADA]] u d-[[Drama Unit]] kif ukoll mal-[[Ministeru tal-Edukazzjoni]] u, aktar reċenti, mal-kumpanija [[Bronk Productions]].

L-interess ta’ Paul Xuereb fit-teatru, speċjalment fil-kitbiet ta’ [[William Shakespeare]], nibet fil-Liċeo. Dan l-interess kompla jikber meta, fis-snin tal-Università, Xuereb ħadem ma’ [[Arthur Colby Sprague]] – espert tat-teatru Ingliż Rinaxximentali. Minn dak iż-żmien, l-interess baqa’ jikber. Kien f’dan il-kuntest li Xuereb interpreta l-parti ta’ Claudius fid-dramm [[Hamlet]], produzzjoni mtella’ mill-istudenti fl-1952 fin-[[Knights Hall]] (illum [[Dar il-Mediterran]]). Fl-istess sena, Xuereb ħadem ukoll partijiet minuri mal-kumpanija professjonali Ingliża [[The International Company]]. L-interess ta’ Xuereb f’Shakespeare jidher ukoll fl-ewwel direzzjoni li ta, dik tad-dramm [[Julius Caesar]] maħdum fl-1957 fuq stil modern, fit-[[Teatru tal-Università l-Antika]] (illum l-[[MITP]]).

L-ewwel inkontru ta’ Paul Xuereb ma’ [[Francis Ebejer]] kien fl-1962 fil- produzzjoni tad-dramm [[Vaganzi tas-Sajf]], li fiha Xuereb interpreta l-parti prinċipali ta’ [[Hakob]]. Xuereb interpeta wkoll bosta karattri mir-repertorju modern Ewropew u Amerikan, speċjalment mal-kumpanija [[Atturi Theatre Group]], li kienet tispeċjalizza f’dawn id-drammi. Fost dawn l-interpretazzjonijiet, Xuereb isemmi dik ta’ Trigorn ([[The Seagull]], kitba ta’ [[Anton Chekhov]] u direzzjoni ta’ [[Ethel Farrugia]]) u dik ta’ Tesman ([[Hedda Gabler]], kitba ta’ [[Henrik Ibsen]] u direzzjoni tal-Pakistani [[Zia Mohyeddin]]).

Xuereb huwa wkoll il-kritiku ewlieni tat-teatru f’Malta, pożizzjoni li ilu jżomm sa mis-snin sittin. Tul dawn is-snin, Xuereb żviluppa stil ta’ kritika bbażata fuq l-interpretazzjoni tal-atturi fl-isfond tal-funzjoni li jkollhom il-karattri tagħhom fil-kuntest aktar wiesa’ tad-dramm. Fost il-kitbiet tiegħu, insibu [[The Maltese opera libretto: a catalogue of the librettos in the University of Malta]] (2004) u [[The Manoel Theatre: A Short History]] (Ed. 2, 2012), kif ukoll numru ta’ kitbiet oħra dwar aspetti varji tal-istorja tat-teatru f’Malta.

'''Josephine Mahoney''' twieldet l-[[Isla]] fis 5 t'Ottubru 1932 u, fit-Tieni Gwerra Dinjija, marret toqgħod [[Tas-Sliema]]. Kien propju Tas-Sliema li Mahoney bdiet il-karriera tagħha fuq il-palk, mal-kumpanija [[Sliema Dramatic Company]], immexxija minn missierha stess. Isem Mahoney jibqa’ sinonimu mat-teatrin, ġeneru ta’ teatru popolari li l-għeruq tiegħu jmorru lura sas-seklu dsatax. Fuq dan, Mahoney tikteb fid-dettal fl-awtobijografija tagħha [[Oh Żmien Ħelu]] fejn, fost l-oħrajn, tgħolli l-istatus tat-teatrin billi titkellem b’mod riflessiv dwar l-elementi li l-aktar kienu jikkaratterizzaw din ix-xena, fosthom il-vestwarju rikk, il-messinxena u x-xenarju, kif ukoll il-passaġġ mid-deklamar u r-reċtar artifiċjali għal interpretazzjoni aktar realistika. Interessanti kif Mahoney tiġbor il-vokabularju u t-terminoloġija li kienu jintużaw bejn l-artisti u tippreżentahom bħala element importanti biex il-palk jiġi rikonoxxut daqs ‘kull sengħa, arti jew professjoni oħra’.

L-għażliet li għamlet Mahoney jirriflettu l-elementi l-aktar popolari fix-xena kulturali Maltija. Fil-fatt, dan l-element jiġri tul il-karriera tagħha, mis-snin ġa msemmija tat-teatrin, għar-[[Redifussion]] u r-radju u finalment is-soap opera fuq it-televiżjoni. Għax-xogħol tagħha fuq il-palk, Mahoney żviluppat prassi ċċentrata fuq bilanċ bejn il-kitba tal-awtur, il-ħsieb tad-direttur, u l-interpretazzjoni personali tagħha. Dan jidher fl-hekk imsejħa ‘għaxar kmandamenti’ li Mahoney fasslet għaliha personalment, fejn tirreferi b’mod ugwali għal dawn it-tliet elementi importanti. Tul is-sittin sena karriera tagħha fuq il-palk, Mahoney ħadmet ħafna ġeneri differenti bħal vaudeville, buzzetti, drammi sagri, oħrajn soċjopolitiċi, traġedji u kummiedji ta’ Shakespeare, xogħol realistiku, u oħrajn.

John Suda twieled il-Marsa fl-1951. L-esperjenza tiegħu fuq il-palk bdiet minn età tenera ħafna, kemm fl-iskola primarja kif ukoll f’kuntesti oħrajn amatorjali. Sa mill-ewwel esperjenza tiegħu fit-Teatru Manoel, meta interpreta l-parti ta’ Pilatu fid-dramm Proċess lil Ġesù (kitba oriġinali ta’ Diego Fabbri, maqlub għall-Malti minn Joe Friggieri u Frans Sammut), Suda ħadem biex jiżviluppa t-teknika teatrali tiegħu – żvilupp li jqisu bħala proċess ta’ formazzjoni kontinwa li jgħin lill-attur jaddatta l-prassi tiegħu għall-età li jkun fiha. Suda jidentifika wkoll l-osservazzjoni bħala għodda teatrali importanti, kemm fil-ħajja ta’ kuljum kif ukoll fix-xogħol teatrali u artistiku b’mod ġenerali. F’dan is-sens, Suda jħossu xxurtjat li kellu l-opportunità jaħdem ma’ personalitajiet bħal Karmenu Gruppetta, Francis Ebejer u Oliver Reed.

John Suda kellu sehem fit-twaqqif tal-kumpanija Koperatturi (1985), flimkien ma’ Alfred Mallia, Karmenu Aquilina, Michael Tabone u Manuel Cauchi. Il-versatilità ta’ Suda bħala attur tidher fl-għażla tal-aktar karattri sinifikattivi li interpreta tul is-sittin sena karriera tiegħu fuq il-palk: Richard III (William Shakespeare), is-Surmast (Trevor Zahra), Faust (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe) u Edipu s-Sultan (Sofokli). Suda ta wkoll sehem estensiv fl-iżvilupp tal-edukazzjani teatrali f’pajjiżna, kemm fi ħdan l-iMTADA u d-Drama Unit kif ukoll mal-Ministeru tal-Edukazzjoni u, aktar reċenti, mal-kumpanija Bronk Productions.

Monica Attard ħadmet bħala attriċi sa minn età żgħira ħafna. Hija ssemmi tliet elementi ewlenin li sawru l-formazzjoni u x-xogħol tagħha fuq il-palk. Fost dawn, insibu qabelxejn it-talent spontanju – li fuqu Attard kienet partikolarment tistrieħ meta ħadmet l-ewwel interpretazzjonijiet tagħha mal-grupp Chains (Tas-Sliema). It-tieni element huwa l-osservazzjoni ta’ atturi oħrajn; fosthom Johnny Navarro, Ġemma Portelli, Karmen Azzopardi u Charles Clews. Clews kien propju l-bniedem li inkoraġġiha biex taħdem fuq ir-rejdjow. Aktar tard, Attard saħħet dawn iż-żewġ elementi bl-esperjenza aktar teknika li kisbet mit-taħriġ li ħadet fl-iskola tal-iMTADA. Fost l-għalliema tal-iMTADA, hija ħadmet ma’ Adrian Rendle u Peter Cox u tgħid kif l-għarfien tal-impostazzjoni tal-vuċi kienet l-aktar prassi teknika importanti li kisbet minn dan il-kuntest.

Attard ħadmet ma’ kumpaniji varji bħal Maleth, Atturi, Koperatturi u, aktar riċenti, Masquerade. Hija tiddeskrivi x-xogħol fuq il-palk bħal opportunità li tesperjenza karattri u emozzjonijiet differenti, riżultat tal-varjetà kbira ta’ interpretazzjonjiet li tat matul karriera li llum tlaħħaq l-erbgħin sena. L-ewwel li Attard għamlet isem kien permezz ta’ interpretazzjonijiet fi drammi ta’ William Shakespeare, fosthom Hermione (The Winter’s Tale), Cleopatra (Anthony and Cleopatra), Lady Macbeth (Macbeth), u Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing). Ma’ dawn, Attard iżżid bħala milestones personali x-xogħol tagħha fuq il-karattri ta’ Selima (Il-Ġaħan ta’ Binġemma, kitba ta’ Francis Ebejer) u, aktar riċenti, Sylvia Gellburg (Broken Glass, kitba ta’ Arthur Miller) u Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Doubt: a parable, kitba ta’ John Patrick Shanley).

Karmen Azzopardi twieldet fl-1934, u ma damitx m’għamlet isem bħala attriċi versatili ħafna. Matul is-snin ħamsin, it-talenti tagħha kienu mfittxija minn bosta kumpaniji. Fost dawn kien hemm il-Malta Drama League, il-Kumpanija Gioventù Cattolica, il-Manoel Amateur Dramatic Club u l-Maleth.

Partikolarment importanti kienet l-esperjenza li Azzopardi kisbet mal-grupp Ingliż f’Malta, il-British Institute Players. Din mhux talli wasslet biex Azzopardi taħdem ma’ diretturi professjonali Ingliżi bħal Adrian Stanley, Ken Dodding u Cecil Bellamy, iżda wkoll biex titħarreġ Londra mal-Actor’s Studio fl-arti drammatika, u saħansitra fix-xogħol tar-radju mal-BBC.

Is-snin sittin raw lil Azzopardi taħdem mill-qrib ma’ Francis Ebejer, il-kittieb li hi tqis responsabbli għall-iżvilupp tat-teatru modern f’Malta. Ebejer u Azzopardi rawmu relazzjoni professjonali mibnija fuq l-għarfien li t-tnejn kellhom tal-kwalitajiet ta’ xulxin. Azzopardi tgħid li Ebejer fassal bosta karattri maħsuba speċifikament biex jiġu interpretati minnha u oħrajn biex jiġu interpretati minn atturi speċifiċi oħrajn.

Fl-1974 Azzopardi waqqfet il-grupp Atturi Theatre Group, flimkien mal-Kav. Paul Naudi. Din ġiet deskritta bħala l-ewwel kumpanija ta’ repertorju f’Malta maħsuba biex jittellgħu xogħlijiet ta’ kwalità, kemm bil-Malti kif ukoll bl-Ingliż, u dan fuq bażi konsistenti. Azzopardi kienet waħda mill-attriċi ewlenin tal-grupp, u ħadmet partijiet impenjattivi bħal Hedda Gabler (fid-dramm bl-istess isem, ta’ Henrik Ibsen), Filumena Marturano (ta’ Eduardo de Filippo) u Mother Courage (ta’ Bertholt Brecht). Azzopardi serviet ukoll bħala chairperson tal-istess kumpanija, u kienet tikkontribwixxi kemm fl-għażla tat-testi u tal-parteċipanti kif ukoll fil-ħidma ta’ kuljum tal-kumpanija.

Fost premjijiet oħrajn, fl-2002 Azzopardi rċeviet il-Midalja għall-Qadi tar-Repubblika, għall-kontribut li tat lejn l-iżvilupp tat-teatru f’Malta.
