All the world's her stage

The concept of the Renaissance man or woman, someone who has acquired success or proficiency in
several fields, holds a deep appeal in our multitasking present. This, after all, is the age of the juggler.

6 | Page
Given the limitless opportunities available in our complex society, the notion of pursuing just one career
seems a bit pedestrian. Antonia Campbell Hughes, currently starring on the Dublin stage in the play
Roberto Zucco, appears to be the consummate Renaissance woman. Into her short career she has
crammed stints as a fashion designer (flogging frocks both under her own name and as part of a diffusion
line for the retail chain Topshop), a Paris catwalk model and a star of the big and small screens.

The industries in which Campbell Hughes chooses to work may seem disparate, but they have one trait in
common: glamor. She may, perhaps, be a member of the slasher brigade: an actress-slash-model-slash-
designer who is eager for fame and happy to pursue any route to its attainment. The key distinction
between the Renaissance woman and the slasher is devotion to one's pursuits. So is Antonia dilettante or
devotee?

The woman herself insists that her careers have flowed organically from each other. 'People never really
see the connection between fashion and drama, but I think there's a huge connection. I saw fashion as
creating a scene and a setting and characters, building the entire cast effectively. All my collections were
always about creating a mood and an atmosphere and a character. Fashion seemed the most direct
avenue. I never understood how people who are creative are satisfied with one outlet, one medium. I
always did all kinds of things. In Paris, we didn't have enough money to do catwalk shows, so we'd take
gallery spaces and set up a soiree-type thing. You put the various pieces on mannequins and have
installation videos and all that kind of vibe. I'd do favors for friends as well and act in their videos.

Antonia was born in Derry, in the west of Ireland, but her parents left the country when she was two, and
she grew up in Switzerland and the US. She moved to Dublin in her mid-teens but didn't find the school
syllabus particularly absorbing. 'I didn't go much. I was very much a rebellious teen, and I wanted to
sing in bands and travel the world and be away from my normal environment. I thought art school was
the best avenue, so I went to New York for a bit and got into fashion.

Her move into acting was almost accidental. 'A man called John McGuire stopped me on the street and
asked me to do a music video, some little kind of ambient trip-hop thing,' she says. "That made me quite
uncertain as to which avenue I was going down. From there I very much fell into television, into comedy.
I just went for an audition and got a part in Jack Dee's sitcom Lead Balloon; I never had a hankering to
do British TV and didn't know much about the show. But I think the comedy field in British television is
quite strong, and I really respect Jack's work and it's such a lovely programme to work on. It's very
scripted, but the writers are open to suggestions. If things crop up on the day, they're very much
incorporated, which is a lovely way to work.

In person, Antonia comes across as charmingly childlike, continually fidgeting and changing
conversational tack mid-sentence. This impression is compounded by her elfin appearance - few might
guess she has been on the planet for a quarter century. She's happy to play up this image, and has been
known to spend parties sitting under tables, affecting a girlish blitheness. This insouciance, contrived or
otherwise, does not prevent her from worrying about being typecast as a comic artist. 'I wanted to do this
play because it's a completely different approach from comedy.’

Everyone has a friend who can't decide what to do with their life. While many twenty-somethings trek
through Southeast Asia in search of meaning, Antonia, following her nomadic childhood, is seemingly
keen to travel in other ways. Even when describing her current passion, her mind is never far from her
next move. I'm very much obsessed with what I'm doing at the moment,' she says. "That's the beauty of
acting: you're working on a different, completely diverse project every given month. I'm quite interested
in writing also, but I'd like to do more theater before I start writing plays.' Antonia Campbell Hughes'

Part 4. For questions 1-10, read the following passage and do the tasks that follow. (15 points)
Calisthenics
The world’s oldest form of resistance training

A) Calisthenics has persisted and prospered because of its simplicity and utility, from the first caveman
scaling a tree or hanging from a cliff face to the great armies of the Greco-Roman civilizations and the
gymnasiums of current American high schools. Unlike strength training, which involves the use of
weights, machines, or resistance bands, calisthenics focuses exclusively on the body's own bodyweight.

B) Herodotus' account of the Battle of Thermopylae places Calisthenics in the historical record around
480 B.C. According to Herodotus, before the fight, the god-king Xerxes dispatched a reconnaissance
party to eavesdrop on his Spartan foes. The scouts reported to Xerxes that the Spartans, led by King
Leonidas, were doing some strange, synchronized movements like a tribal dance. Xerxes was amused to
no end. His army numbered over 120,000 warriors, whereas the Spartans numbered only 300. Leonidas
was warned that if he would not retreat, he would be annihilated. The Spartans, on the other hand, did not
retreat, and in the ensuing battle, they were able to hold off Xerxes' massive army for a while until
reinforcements came. Their tribal dance, it turns out, was not a superstitious ritual, but a type of
calisthenics through which they developed incredible physical power and durability.

C) The Greeks regarded calisthenics as a sort of artistic expression of motion and an optically ideal body
in addition to military discipline and power. The term "calisthenics" is derived from the Greek terms
"beautiful" and "power." The ancient Olympians took calisthenics training seriously, according to
historical sources and depictions from ceramics, mosaics, and sculptures from the time period. They were
recognized for their blend of athleticism and physical attractiveness, and they are still revered today. You
might have overheard a friend sighing and remarking that someone "had the physique of a Greek god."
The root of this envy and respect is the calisthenics method, which has traveled through centuries and
nations.

D) In the 1800s, calisthenics had a second golden period. Gymnastics, an organized sport that combines a
variety of bars, rings, vaulting horses, and balancing platforms to demonstrate physical prowess, was
born in this century. This is also the time when the phenomenon of strongmen began to emerge. These
were people of superior physical strength and development who made a nomadic living by doing
incredible feats of strength in front of awestruck crowds. Because contemporary weight machines had not
yet been invented, most of these men exercised using hand balancing and horizontal bars.

E) In the 1950s, Angelo Siciliano was dubbed "The World's Most Perfectly Developed Man" under his
stage name Charles Atlas. Atlas' own methodology was based on conventional calisthenics, and he taught
these techniques to hundreds of thousands of children and young adults through a series of mail-order
comic books in the 1960s and 1970s. Atlas, on the other hand, was the last of a dying breed. The tides
were turning, fitness approaches were moving away from calisthenics, and no well-known proponent of
the method could ever replace him.

F) In the 1960s and 1970s, calisthenics and the purpose of useful strength and physical attractiveness
were supplanted by a focus on massive muscles at all costs. Bodybuilding emerged as a result of this.
Despite the fact that the originators of bodybuilding were taken from the calisthenic heritage, the only
goal quickly became an increase in muscular size. Because of their intimidating physiques, bodybuilding

9 | Page
superstars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sergio Oliva were dubbed "mass monsters." Stimulants,
artificial hormones that enhanced muscle growth while hurting general health, were the only way to
achieve this degree of fitness development.

G) In this "larger is better" environment, calisthenics were assigned to fragile groups such as women,
individuals recovering from injuries, and school children. Despite the fact that advanced calisthenics was
used by some of the toughest and most physically developed humans ever to live, most of this
information was lost, and the practice was reduced to little more than a readily available and easily
accessible activity. Those who mastered the fundamentals of calisthenics could move on to weightlifting
instead of advanced calisthenics.

H) Nevertheless, in recent times, fitness preferences have shifted back to the use of calisthenics.
Excessive muscle development in bodybuilding frequently leads to joint pain, injuries, imbalanced
physiques, and poor cardiovascular health. As a result, calisthenics-based practices are emphasized in
many of the trendiest and most prominent gyms and programs. Yoga, Pilates, kettlebell training,
gymnastics, and traditional Greco-Roman calisthenics are all examples of modern practices that mix
aspects from a variety of related traditions. Many individuals want to reclaim the original Greek notion of
physical attractiveness, strength, and mental-physical equilibrium.

Questions 1-6: The text has eight paragraphs, A–H. Which paragraph contains the following
information? Choose the correct letter for questions 1–6.
1) A nod to itinerant entertainers who strutted their vigor publicly.
2) Calisthenics' longevity can be attributed to a variety of factors.
3) An interdisciplinary approach to overall strength and well-being
4) Calisthenics as an training approach for the very first time
5) Calisthenics' final prominent follower
6) The provenance of the term ‘calisthenics’
