Talk:Tableau vivant

message: Some of the mathematical literature defines a generalization of Young tableaux (with fewer restrictions) called "tableaux", and apparently semantic tableaux are also sometimes so called. Would there be any objection to making "Tableau" a disambiguation page and moving this page to "Tableaux vivant" (and then of course re-directing "Tableau vivant" there)?

message: The new headmistress at Loughborough High School has done away with many of the traditions at the school. Let us hope that the tableaux remains. It was only performed three times this Christmas

message: Would the end of 1776, wherein the (fictional) signing of the Declaration of Independence is freeze-framed and morphed into the famous painting thereof, qualify as an example? --Davecampbell (talk) 00:58, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say no - really it should be a complete performance in itself (or a series of them should be one) Johnbod (talk) 01:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Some pieces of classical music that are currently in the concert repertoire were originally written to accompany tableaux vivants -- Sibelius comes to mind, but there was also a melodramatic fascist French composer whose name escapes me that Chicago Symphony Orchestra played maybe five years ago. Sorry not to have any citations, but I hope this elicits some memories in somebody else with a better classical music reference library ready to hand. 14:08, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Classical Music 

message: We need a section on painting, especially from Romanticism through Art Nouveau, and its use of tableau presentation, and the influence this had, in turn, on photographic tableaux.  We're basically jumping straight from theatre to photography, and even the photography section makes it clear that photographic tableaux developed from painting tableaux, not theatrical.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  12:32, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Painting 

message: The photography section needs to be pruned by about 50% or more, to reduce the WP:UNDUE dwelling on Jeff Wall's ideas, excessive quotation of him, and what reads like a community college art teacher's original research about what Wall really means.  The entire segment is largely unencyclopedic, but could be boiled down to WP-appropriate content.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  12:35, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Undue over-quotation, citation, and explication of Wall's ideas 

message: This doesn't seem to belong here, and should be its own article, imo. It's long enough, with plenty of refs. Thoughts? Johnbod (talk) 03:19, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. The 4th(?) paragraph begins "The photographic tableau has its roots not in the theatrical tableau vivant, but in pictorialist photography..." so it would be better either in its own article or perhaps in Pictorialism. Maybe the Tableau vivant article could conclude by saying it has influenced pictorialism perhaps. --Northernhenge (talk) 12:26, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
