Aún luchando por conseguir el merecido reconocimiento artístico y no quedar oculta bajo la labor del director teatral, la escenografía es una de las disciplinas teatrales más decisivas y, por supuesto, mucho mas que una pintura de fondo con la que enmarcar a los interpretes. Pamela Howard, que ha trabajado en mas de 200 montajes en el Reino Unido y todo el mundo, explica en este libro las claves de la creacion de un espacio escenico: el juego con el espacio, las pistas visuales que sugiere el texto, la investigacion y documentacion, el color y la composicion, el vestuario, la colaboracion con el director, el interprete y el espectador. Experta en la creacion de espacios escenicos en arquitecturas no teatrales (una antigua fortaleza y carcel en Tesalonica, un cine abandonado en Belgrado, un salon de actos de un viejo colegio en el distrito industrial de Pittsburgh), abo-ga tanto por el recurso a las ultimas tecnologias como por la necesidad de un teatro sostenible. ¿Que es la escenografia? no solo documenta -con ilustraciones- la variadisima experiencia de la autora (de La pasion griega de Martinu a La rosa tatuada de Williams), sino que rinde tributo a sus maestros e inspiradores: Leon Bakst, Caspar Neher, Robert Planchon...Como dijo David Bradby, es una obra esencial, mas si cabe para cualquiera que quiera saber como esta evolucionando el teatro.

Pintor, escritor, pedagogo, director, dramaturgo, teorico, actor de teatro, cine y television, son algunas de las facetas de un gran artista comprometido con las vicisitudes e historias del pais, y cuyo trabajo ha trascendido las fronteras al punto de ser nombrado Embajador Mundial del Teatro por la Unesco.El texto suma, al rigor de la investigacion que le da origen, una serie de anecdotas que dan testimonio del humor del maestro Santiago Garcia, de su profundo conocimiento tanto de la escena teatral mundial como de la historia de Colombia y America Latina, al tiempo que recoge una memoria de vida y una singular forma de trabajo en grupo (la creacion colectiva).

En este recorrido, la autora se une a compañeros de viaje separándose de las disciplinas y la academia, en busca de prácticas epistémicas alternativas en otros lugares, en el arte, la performance y en otras formas de hacer mundo. ¡Presente! no visualiza el conocimiento como algo a ser cosechado y comercializado sino mas bien como un hacer, un saber comprometido, un proceso de estar, caminar, hablar y escuchar a y con los demas, con todas las trampas, complicaciones, contradicciones y responsabilidades que eso conlleva.

Mein einziger Sohn Robert wurde im Alter von 30 Jahren bestialisch ermordet. Ein grausamer Schicksalsschlag, bei dem Suizidgedanken zu verarbeiten waren. Wenn die Seele schreit, ist sie offen und empfanglich fur alles, speziell fur Krankheiten, die mich hart trafen. Mir ist jedoch ein posttraumatisches Wachstum widerfahren, denn diejenigen, die sich von so schweren Schicksalsschlagen nicht unterkriegen lassen, machen die paradoxe Erfahrung, dass aus der eigentlichen Verletzlichkeit eine neue innere Kraft und Starke erwachst. Und diese habe ich wieder gefunden.

Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontes first and only published novel, written between October 1845 and June 1846, and published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell; Bronte died the following year, aged 30. The decision to publish came after the success of her sister Charlottes novel, Jane Eyre. After Emilys death, Charlotte edited the manuscript of Wuthering Heights, and arranged for the edited version to be published as a posthumous second edition in 1850. Wuthering Heights is the name of the farmhouse where the story unfolds. The books core theme is the destructive effect of jealousy and vengefulness both on the jealous or vengeful individuals and on their communities.Although Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as a classic of English literature, it received mixed reviews when first published, and was considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was unusually stark, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals of the day, including religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender inequality. The English poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti referred to it as "A fiend of a book an incredible monster ... The action is laid in hell, only it seems places and people have English names there." In the second half of the 19th century, Charlotte Brontes Jane Eyre was considered the best of the Bronte sisters works, but following later re-evaluation, critics began to argue Wuthering Heights was superior. The book has inspired adaptations, including film, radio and television dramatisations, a musical by Bernard J. Taylor, a ballet, operas (by Bernard Herrmann, Carlisle Floyd, and Frederic Chaslin), a role-playing game,and a 1978 song by Kate Bush.
