The Human Touch
The Human Touch is a book focused on the creative processes at work in British contemporary improvisational theatre and how these processes draw on the humanity of the participants: their cognitive abilities, their lives, and their relationships to each other. Vulnerability is a main feature of both the book and of improvisational theatre, both part of the hurdles that improvisers face and a creative tool. Through a study of improvisation and vulnerability, the book teaches us both what makes improvisational theatre so human and opens the door to a reflection about how to use humanity and human emotions in performance. Most importantly, it delves into the cognitive and physiological processes at work in improvisation, a topic which is missing from most manuals and studies offered to students. This book is addressed to theatre students and provides both an important overview of the form’s history and a challenge to what is usually taught about improvisation.
Arabs, Politics, and Performance
This book is a ground-breaking collection on contemporary Arab theatre. Through three sections discussing occupation and resistance, diaspora, migration, and refugees, and nationalism and belonging, this study provides nuanced responses to the contested points of intersection between Arab culture and the West, as well as many of the major concerns within contemporary Arab theatre. The collection draws together scholars from the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and the United States who write about Arab theatre and the representation of Arabs on European and American stages. It introduces concerns in contemporary Arab theatre, the regions in which Arab theatre is performed, and the issues with representations of Arabs onstage. This volume will be of great significance for those interested in expanding the range of global, postcolonial, African, Asian, or diasporic theatre that they study, teach, or stage.
Critical Acting Pedagogy
Critical Acting Pedagogy: Intersectional Approaches invites readers to think about pedagogy in actor training as a research field in its own right: to sit with the complex challenges, risks, and rewards of the acting studio; to recognise the shared vulnerability, courage, and love that defines our field and underpins our practices. This collection of chapters, from a diverse group of acting teachers at different points in their careers, working in conservatoires and universities, illuminates current developments in decolonising studios to foreground multiple and intersecting identities in the pedagogic exchange. In acknowledging how their positionality affects their practices and materials, ...

Vacanze in villa
Madeleine Wickham racconta con grande naturalezza e sensibilità, senza rinunciare al consueto tocco di humour, le dinamiche di due coppie in crisi e l'attrazione esercitata dalla prospettiva di una nuova relazione, con le sue incognite che affascinano e spaventano al tempo stesso.
Le piccole bugie del cuore
In fondo cos'è una piccola bugia innocente? Se può aprirti qualche porta senza recare danno a nessuno, è solo un peccato veniale... È questo che pensa Natalie, trentenne di provincia appena sbarcata a Londra. Ma la vita nella grande metropoli non è così sfavillante, soprattutto quando fai la commessa e vivi sola. Come se non bastasse, il telefono continua a squillare e la cassetta delle lettere è colma di buste colorate e invitanti: peccato che non siano destinate a lei ma a Cressida, la precedente inquilina, che a quanto pare aveva una vita sociale molto glamour. La tentazione si fa irresistibile quando Natalie nota su una busta l’indirizzo di uno dei club più esclusivi di Londra. Di lì ad aprirla e presentarsi a una festa nei panni di Cressida il passo è molto breve... Personaggi impacciati e sentimentali, situazioni tragicomiche e terribilmente romantiche: Gemma Townley colpisce ancora! Titolo originale: "Little White Lies" (2005)
Dictionary of Riddles
Originally published in 1990, Dictionary of Riddles is a collection of nearly 1500 of the most cryptic and entertaining riddles from history. Drawn from sources throughout the world, the collection ranges from earthy medieval jokes about fleas, worms and vegetables to the sophisticated puzzles composed by literary figures from Schiller, Swift, Voltaire, Rousseau and Cervantes to Edgar Allen Poe, Lewis Carroll and J.R.R. Tolkien. The book traces the history of riddles from their origins in antiquity through the golden age of the Renaissance, to their decline into the nursery and the first few signs of their modern revival, and draws together all the strands of the riddling art.
