The unique career of choreographer Liz Lerman has taken her from theater stages to shipyards, and from synagogues to science labs. In this wide-ranging collection of essays and articles, she reflects on her life-long exploration of dance as a vehicle for human insight and understanding of the world around us. Lerman has been described by the Washington Post as "the source of an epochal revolution in the scope and purposes of dance art." Here, she combines broad outlooks on culture and society with practical applications and accessible stories. Her expansive scope encompasses the craft, structure, and inspiration that bring theatrical works to life as well as the applications of art in fields as diverse as faith, aging, particle physics, and human rights law. Offering readers a gentle manifesto describing methods that bring a horizontal focus to bear on a hierarchical world, this is the perfect book for anyone curious about the possible role for art in politics, science, community, motherhood, and the media.

In poetic prose, Forrester navigates leaving a life in one state and picking up in another and repeating the process through various and vast personal, social, and political landscapes. It's a personal story and it's an investigation of change and how we tend to hide away the most valuable parts of ourselves, especially, paradoxically, the parts that help us survive change, the parts that make us Soft-Hearted, and we need more soft-heartedness in all times and in all places.

Director Steven Spielberg is more of an auteur than given recognition for. "The Films of Steven Spielberg" highlights the maturation of a filmmaker with movies that reflect the director's own life, fascinations, and obsessions. Spielberg’s upbringing and foray into the 1970s Hollywood business structure show us the origin of themes that are consistently present in Spielberg’s films such as fatherhood, World War II and his collaboration with composer John Williams. Although mainstream cinema has become dominated by franchises – Spielberg has proven to be routinely ahead of his time in the post-9/11 era.

This compilation of books all have an interrelated theme which is that the history of the Earth involves ancient megalithic structures, artificial objects millions of years old, and Giants who have existed back to before land animals had evolved.The first book is titled Ancient and Prehistoric Civilizations. In this book there are many ancient megalithic ruins of civilizations which push the frontier of our understanding of the origins of civilization by many thousands of years. Ancient Giants may also have been involved in these constructions from the proximity of their remains associated with these sites.The second book is titled Ancient and Prehistoric Civilizations-Book Two. In this book I researched and found additional megalithic ruins which also increase the mystery of who built them since many of these ruins must have been built way before the accepted start of human civilization.The next book is titled “The Real Atlantis-In the Eye of the Sahara” and is a strong case for this location in west Africa to be the site of the legendary Atlantis.Book four is titled Strange Objects Which Should Not Exist I did a review of artificial objects found with ages going back hundreds of millions of years. These findings also include anomalous imprints of Giants in rocks which are 100 to 200 million years old.Book five is titled “The History of Antediluvian Giants” and it covers the existence of giants not only in historical times but millions of years ago—as far back as 300 million years ago.Book six is titled Aliens are Already Among Us. In this book I examined how long Aliens have been on this planet and how they have influenced us. My conclusion is that they have been here at least for many thousands of years and possibly much longer.

Becoming a stand up comedian requires an understanding that performing stand up comedy can be stressful, particularly if you have hecklers. Some people enjoy going to the comedy clubs just to mess with the stand up comedians. They have created a technique for getting under your skin. When this happens, remain in control and do not make it personal. This may be very difficult at first, but if you let them get to you your show can spiral out of control.Where stand up comedy writing is concerned, the more honest and vulnerable you are in your comedy shows, the more the audience will connect with you. Letting what you know and feel take control of your stand up comedy writing will open many more paths for you to find your jokes.

Art scams are today so numerous that the specter of a lawsuit arising from a mistaken attribution has scared a number of experts away from the business of authentication and forgery, and with good reason. Art scams are increasingly convincing and involve incredible sums of money. The cons perpetrated by unscrupulous art dealers and their accomplices are proportionately elaborate.Anthony M. Amore's The Art of the Con tells the stories of some of history's most notorious yet untold cons. They involve stolen art hidden for decades; elaborate ruses that involve the Nazis and allegedly plundered art; the theft of a conceptual prototype from a well-known artist by his assistant to be used later to create copies; the use of online and television auction sites to scam buyers out of millions; and other confidence scams incredible not only for their boldness but more so because they actually worked. Using interviews and newly released court documents, The Art of the Con will also take the reader into the investigations that led to the capture of the con men, who oftentimes return back to the world of crime. For some, it's an irresistible urge because their innocent dupes all share something in common: they want to believe.

Jenna Fischer's Hollywood journey began at the age of 22 when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. Louis. With a theater degree in hand, she was determined, she was confident, she was ready to work hard. So, what could go wrong?Uh, basically everything. The path to being a professional actor was so much more vast and competitive than she’d imagined. It would be eight long years before she landed her iconic role on The Office, nearly a decade of frustration, struggle, rejection and doubt.If only she’d had a handbook for the aspiring actor. Or, better yet, someone to show her the way—an established actor who could educate her about the business, manage her expectations, and reassure her in those moments of despair.Jenna wants to be that person for you. With amusing candor and wit, Fischer spells out the nuts and bolts of getting established in the profession, based on her own memorable and hilarious experiences. She tells you how to get the right headshot, what to look for in representation, and the importance of joining forces with other like-minded artists and creating your own work—invaluable advice personally acquired from her many years of struggle. She provides helpful hints on how to be gutsy and take risks, the tricks to good auditioning and callbacks, and how not to fall for certain scams (auditions in a guy’s apartment are probably not legit—or at least not for the kind of part you’re looking for!).Her inspiring, helpful guidance feels like a trusted friend who’s made the journey, and has now returned to walk beside you, pointing out the pitfalls as you blaze your own path towards the life of a professional actor. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

La pièce Les belles-sœurs de Michel Tremblay est née le 4 mars 1968 lors d'une lecture publique dans un minuscule théâtre de la métropole. Cinquante ans après sa création, le journaliste Mario Girard raconte l'histoire qui a entouré la naissance de cette oeuvre majeure de la dramaturgie québécoise. À partir de témoignages, de documents d'archives et de photographies, on découvre comment, un jour de 1965, l'idée est venue au jeune Tremblay d'écrire une pièce en joual rassemblant 15 femmes dans une cuisine autour d'un million de timbres-primes Gold Star. L'auteur revisite le contexte historique et social dans lequel Les belles-sœurs ont été créées, la polémique qui a suivi, le triomphe que la pièce a obtenu auprès du public et, surtout, les répercussions que cette oeuvre a eues sur la culture québécoise. Tremblay n'a pas voulu choisir entre Antigone et La Poune : il a pris les deux. Et en faisant cela, il a aidé tout un peuple à trouver sa voix.

It destroyed the common means of communication, its antennas, utility grid, and its cellular networks were all destroyed leaving victims almost helpless. At that time, amateur radio was the only source of communication and some payphones that were connected with underground lines. They are also used for many other community servicesRadio Amateurs around the world provide a valuable community service.This bundle will teach you how to operate one, learn about tuning to the right frequency, when to tune and making consistent contacts and much, much more.This two in-one bundle series includes the following audiobooks: 1.
