How, when you know whats coming next, can you still be spontaneous?Frank, uncompromising and full of sharply focused insights, this book will help you strip away the inhibitions and habitual thinking that can shackle our imaginations. It will show you how to generate truthful performances by trusting your inner creativity and remaining radically open, responsive and present in every moment.Mike Alfreds has been directing plays for more than seventy years. In the 1970s he founded Shared Experience, and has since worked for the National Theatre, Shakespeares Globe, the Royal Shakespeare Company and also extensively abroad. He is hugely respected within the profession, and is the author of two previous books, Different Every Night and Then What Happens?If I was allowed to train again to be an actor, but I was only allowed one teacher, it would have to be Mike Alfreds.

Wilhelm Tramitzke, geboren im Februar 1926 in Wischniovka, Bessarabien, ein Landstrich zwischen den Flussen Djestr und Pruth, heute Moldaurepublik, ist Nachfahre deutscher Kolonisten in Bessarabien, welche in den Jahren 1814 bis 1842 Mutterkolonien errichteten. Bis zur Umsiedlung 1940 (Heim ins Reich) bestanden durch ihre Nachfahren bereits 150 Tochterkolonien mit deutschen Namen. Die Umsiedlung nahm ihnen ihre Heimat, und nach der Ansiedlung in Polen verloren sie 1945 zu zweiten Mal ihre Heimat. - In seiner Geschichte beschreibt er die groe Liebe zwischen zwei Menschen, welche schon im Sandkasten unzertrennlich waren. Die Kinder, Sohn eines Metzgermeisters und Tochter eines Apothekers kamen, trotz ihrer groen Liebe, durch den Standesdunkel des Apothekers nicht zusammen, weil er der Meinung war, dass es unter seiner Wurde ware, einen Metzger in der Familie zu haben. Ihm schwebte ein Akademiker vor. Durch Intrigen, Verleumdungen und durch sein Verbot einer Zusammenkunft der beiden, brachte es der Apotheker fertig, dass ein Wiedersehen so gut wie unmoglich war. Dass seine Tochter bereits volljahrig und eine ausgebildete Apothekerin war, scherte den Apotheker nicht. Auch der Metzgersohn hatte bereits seinen Metzgermeister gemacht, und stand beruflich voll im Trend, doch auch das scherte den Apotheker nicht. Das veranlasste den Metzgermeister, nach Argentinien auszuwandern, in der Hoffnung, dass seine groe Liebe ihm nachfolge. Ihre gegenseitige Sehnsucht war unbeschreiblich, doch alles kam anders.

It is usually described as one of Tolstoys two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the worlds greatest novels.War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, marriage, age, and death. Though it is often called a novel today, it broke so many conventions of the form that it was not considered a novel in its time. Indeed, Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense.

War and Peace (Pre-reform Russian: ????? ? ????, Voyna i mir) is a novel by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy, first published in its entirety in 1869. Epic in scale, it is regarded as one of the central works of world literature. It is considered Tolstoys finest literary achievement, along with his other major prose work, Anna Karenina (18731877). War and Peace delineates in graphic detail events surrounding the French invasion of Russia, and the impact of the Napoleonic era on Tsarist society, as seen through the eyes of five Russian aristocratic families. Portions of an earlier version of the novel, then known as The Year 1805, were serialized in the magazine The Russian Messenger between 1865 and 1867. The novel was first published in its entirety in 1869. Newsweek in 2009 ranked it first in its list of the Top 100 Books. In 2003, the novel was listed at number 20 on the BBCs survey The Big Read.Tolstoy himself, somewhat enigmatically, said of War and Peace that it is "not a novel, even less is it a poem, and still less a historical chronicle". Large sections of the work, especially in the later chapters, are philosophical discussion rather than narrative. He went on to elaborate that the best Russian literature does not conform to standards and hence hesitated to call War and Peace a novel. (Instead, Tolstoy regarded Anna Karenina as his first true novel.) (font: Wikipedia)

Charlotte Metcalf has made documentary films all over Africa, and her directors eye for unforgettable people, location and attention to detail now transfers vividly to the printed page. We feel the heat, smell the smells, and sweat with Charlotte as she battles against bureaucratic inertia and incompetence, hostility and political pressure to record the often unwelcome truth. Charlottes journal, like her award-winning films, is a close-up of Africas deep-rooted problems from survival issues like AIDS, famine and cholera, to the unspeakable and ritual maltreatment of women. She presents a moving picture of African heroism in the face of the kind of suffering we would all prefer to walk away from but know we no longer can. This is a book for anyone who cares about the human condition.

In Wagners Theatre, Patrick Carnegy presents the turbulent story of Wagner and his interpreters over the course of the twentieth century. Carnegy gives vivid accounts of Gustav Mahlers radical reinvention of the Wagnerian stage, and of the post-war rehabilitation of Wagner and his work after Hitlers appropriation. He also offers sharply written reappraisals of those great Wagnerian conductors Klemperer, Toscanini, Karajan and Solti. Carnegy provides revealing accounts of the inside-workings of the Royal Opera House and of English National Opera at troubled points in their recent history. In a fascinating conversation with Sir Michael Tippett, the composer talks with unique authority about the problems facing would-be musical dramatists today. Wagners Theatre is an essential insight into how interpretations of Wagner have developed, and how we can respond to them.

A nove anni Ibu ha due sogni da realizzare. Il primo: diventare una star della musica come il suo idolo, Takana Ja. E tra un dispetto e laltro alla sorellina Fatu, si sta gia impratichendo con il suo tamburo e insiste con mamma e papa a farsi iscrivere alla scuola di musica. Mamadou e Adama, i suoi genitori, sanno che Ibu non basta saperlo prendere; no, bisogna proprio dargliela vinta: in effetti, rispetto agli altri bambini della sua eta, dire che Ibu e competitivo e riduttivo; gli piacciono sempre e solo le cose da grandi, come il caffe o i film dazione di Van Damme. Ecco, infatti, il suo secondo sogno: diventare un adulto, e prima possibile. Il destino lo accontenta in una mattina di luglio: mentre in lontananza si intravedono i fumi neri causati dalle esplosioni di una protesta politica, a casa di Ibu si abbatte una tragedia famigliare che cambiera per sempre il corso della sua vita. Da quel momento, comincia per lui unepopea verso leta adulta. Un viaggio lungo dieci anni che, da Conakry, capitale della Guinea, lo portera negli inferi del continente africano.Con una prefazione di Nello Scavo.

Tras más de cincuenta años dedicado al mundo del teatro, José Luis Alonso de Santos, uno de nuestros dramaturgos más aclamados en todo el mundo, ha sentido la necesidad de revisar su carrera. O, mejor dicho, su vida. Y he aqui el resultado: una especie de resumen, o memorias, de sus andanzas con, en, dentro de, por y para el teatro.Asi, Vivir el teatro no es una obra teatral ni un ensayo sobre el mismo. Aunque si es un compendio de lo que ello significa para el autor, su experiencia vivida y unica de lo que es vivir las entretelas. Porque, como el sabe bien, hay que jugarse la vida en cada frase que se escribe, en cada interpretacion en escena, en cada signo de direccion, en cada comunicacion a traves del arte. Si no, el juego solo es un simulacro y deja de tener sentido. Porque, en otras palabras, lo primero es poner el corazon en carne viva y enseñarselo al publico. O, parafraseando a Calderon de la Barca, como bien se entendera al leer esta obra, siempre hay que "volver a nuestra conversacion".¿Que es el teatro y para que sirve? ¿Se puede aprender? ¿Como poder dar forma escenica a lo informe y hacer visible lo invisible? ¿Que es el tiempo, en el escenario y en la vida? ¿Como conseguir entrar en la autentica dimension de la belleza?Este libro es, querido lector, el legado de un gran dramaturgo, la vida en la tramoya de Jose Luis Alonso. No te lo pierdas.

Esta es la historia de mi vida desde mis años mozos a la actualidad. De todo se trata en estos retazos de memorias, en los que cuento historias, chascarrillos, anécdotas y vicisitudes que hemos experimentado a lo largo, y tambien a lo ancho, de estos años. Y nos ha pasado de todo: desde actuar en una carcel, a que nos pongan una bomba en un teatro; desde ser cantante en Londres, a luchar contra la guerra de Irak y lo que nos queda.

XXI SECOLO. Luca e figlio di un tempo che presume di avere un tempo infinito. Per questo vive la propria vita lasciandosi trasportare dalle passioni e dalle esperienze fino a che, nel pieno delle aspettative, non incappa in Pippa. Per lui e il primo confronto con unemotivita complessa e distorta che lo porta a specchiarsi e che lo costringe a vedere la realta come tale. Dopo cio che lui considera un lutto, la sua vita riprende nella trasgressione, esaltato da un ego che sembra riscattarsi solo nel divertimento e nella superficialita. Ma la corsa smaniosa si arresta di fronte ad un reale sentimento che sovrasta e annichilisce quanto provato fino ad allora. E -solo allora- Luca diviene completo: gia uomo di successo e benestante conosce Anastasia e, attraverso lei, si scopre, finalmente, uomo oltre che maschio, padre oltre che marito. Il racconto della sua ascesa si colora di presenze e di fili che lo legano ad una realta sfaccettata e ad una famiglia prima disunita, poi tristemente mancante, i cui attori recitano parti contrastanti e intrecciano relazioni falsate e non sempre genuine, alla ricerca di vantaggi e del soddisfacimento di bisogni materiali o affettivi. Ma, come natura vuole, il tempo a sua disposizione ha un limite: Luca se ne va, ma e sul suo ultimo palcoscenico che e possibile scoprire il senso di un cammino interrotto, in cui ogni maschera acquisisce un proprio significato ed una specifica collocazione, specie se vista dall alto.

Si puo semplificare la trama dellopera in tre momenti fondamentali della vita dellautore: una prima fase in cui Beatrice gli concede il saluto, fonte di beatitudine e salvezza, una seconda in cui cio non gli e piu concesso, cosa che arreca in Dante una profonda sofferenza (dove Dante non vuole piu ottenere da Beatrice qualcosa in cambio, ma semplicemente un amore fine a se stesso), una terza in cui Beatrice muore e il rapporto non e piu tra il poeta e la donna amata, ma tra il poeta e lanima della donna amata. Dante narra di incontrare per la prima volta Beatrice quandegli aveva appena nove anni e nove mesi e lei nove anni e tre mesi (il numero nove, evidente richiamo alla Trinita appare diverse volte nellopera: rappresenta il miracolo), e qui inizia la "tirannia di Amore" che egli stesso indica come causa dei suoi comportamenti.

La violencia política está presente en todas las estructuras de poder contemporáneas, desde las dictaduras que emplean el terrorismo de Estado hasta las democracias parlamentarias que recurren a métodos mas sutiles para su ejercicio. El teatro del siglo XXI refleja estos fenomenos sociopoliticos de diversas maneras. Este libro exa- mina la tematica de la violencia politica en contextos teatrales muy diversos, tanto en Europa como en Latinoamerica, a lo largo de las ultimas decadas. Presenta la perspectiva unica de nueve investigado- res de ambos continentes, quienes, desde sus diferentes contextos geograficos y culturales teatrales, profundizan en la dimension este- tica e ideologica de diversas dramaturgias y espectaculos. La obra, que marca el inicio de la publicacion de la Red Internacional de Investigadores Teatrales Latinoamericanos y Europeos (RIITLE), vinculada al Centre de Recerca en Arts Esceniques de la UAB, surge del proyecto de investigacion "La imagen animal como construccion del cuerpo enemigo: imaginarios del miedo", respaldado por Oficina de Investigaciones (ODI) de la Universidad Distrital Francisco Jose de Caldas.
