Sociodrama in a Changing World
Sociodrama is a flexible, creative, spontaneous way of working with groups, both large and small, to explore the systems we live in and which impact upon us. Originally part of J.L. Moreno's teaching, sociodrama is used across the world in endeavours such as: conflict management, school and higher level teaching, team building, cross-cultural exploration, problem-solving, change management, role training, community and organisational development, consultancy, story-telling, understanding the news, future planning, political change and much more. This book brings together examples of the work of sociodramatists from around the world, together with a wide-ranging collection of views on the current debate 'What is Sociodrama? ' -- Amazon.
Playing the Other
This book is an exploration and critique of 'playback theatre', a form of improvised theatre in which a company of performers spontaneously enact autobiographical stories told to them by members of the audience. With more than ten years' experience as an actor with Playback Theatre York, the author introduces the reader to the basics of playback theatre within a historical and theoretical context. The history and development of the form is traced, from its conception in the late 1970s to its subsequent growth worldwide, and its relationship to the psychodrama tradition from which it has evolved is discussed. Through an examination of playback performances from the perspectives of performers, `tellers' of their stories and the audience, the author critically explores the nature, implications and ethics of the performers' response to the teller's experience, how notions of the public and personal are constructed, and the risks involved in improvising a response to a member of the audience's story. Playing the Other will be essential reading for drama students, dramatherapists and all those interested in the history and use of the theatre.
Let's Imagine
Over forty drama improvisation 'starter' scenes and exercises for groups (developed with adult drama groups but could easily be adapted for younger people). Each one offers numerous opportunities for variation, according to the creative style and practice base of the individual facilitator and the group context, function and identity. Developed by a master in the art of creative social improvisation, the exercises in this book might be used in schools, colleges, community groups, drama and theatre skills development groups, action-oriented personal development/therapy groups. They can be explored simply to have fun, or as warm-ups to deeper explorations of aspects of the world we live in.
Drama, Psychotherapy and Psychosis

Theology and the Arts
This book brings the emerging fields of practical theology and theology of the arts into a dialogue beyond the bias of modern systematic and constructive theology. The authors draw upon postmodern, post-secular, feminist, liberation, and dialogical/dialectical philosophy and theology, and their critiques of the narrow modern emphases on reason and the scientific method, as the model for all knowledge. Such a practical theology of the arts focuses the work of theology on the actual practices that engage the arts in their various forms as the means of interpreting and understanding the nature of the communities and their members, as well as the mechanisms through which these communities engage...

La bambina dagli occhi di cielo
Cathleen Harrington lascia l’Irlanda nel 1919 e si trasferisce in Sudafrica per sposare l’uomo che ama, ma che non vede da cinque lunghi anni. Isolata e straniata in un ambiente così diverso da quello a cui era abituata, cerca conforto nella musica del suo pianoforte e nell’amicizia con la governante e con sua figlia Ada. In loro trova quell’amore e quella comprensione che la sua stessa famiglia non sembra poterle offrire. Sotto la guida di Cathleen, la piccola Ada, dotata di uno straordinario talento, diventa un’abile pianista e una lettrice vorace, anche di quel diario che Cathleen tiene gelosamente nascosto e in cui confida tutti i suoi segreti... E quando, passati gli anni, Ada suo malgrado tradirà la fiducia di Cathleen e sarà costretta ad abbandonarne la casa dove è stata allevata per scomparire nel nulla, Cathleen farà di tutto per ritrovarla nel nome di un’amicizia che oltrepassa il tempo, i rancori, lo status sociale. La bambina dagli occhi di cielo è un romanzo epico e commovente, che scava nella storia e nei sentimenti di due generazioni di donne che vivono, lottano e amano in un paese meraviglioso e crudele.
Blue Trane
John Coltrane, il più grande sax tenore di tutti i tempi, rimane oggi per molti versi una figura ancora misteriosa: ingabbiata nello stereotipo dell'artista geniale e maledetto ma non sufficientemente indagata e compresa. Questa biografia, la prima scritta da un musicista e studioso di jazz, colma un vuoto di cui da più parti si andava denunciando l'anacronismo. Frutto di quindici anni di ricerche d'archivio, interviste con amici e colleghi del musicista, analisi delle partiture musicali, Blue Trane offre il più completo ritratto oggi disponibile di uno straordinario virtuoso e sperimentatore e della sua evoluzione artistica: la gavetta nella big band di Dizzy Gillespie, le collaborazioni con Monk e Miles Davis, la carriera solista e l'affermazione del leggendario quartetto che regalerà al jazz l'opera più innovativa e più amata di sempre: A Love Supreme. Con un ampio apparato di fotografie, documenti, spartiti e una cronologia dettagliata che ricostruisce tutte le esibizioni dal vivo di Coltrane, questo libro è una lettura imperdibile per gli amanti del jazz e uno strumento indispensabile per gli studiosi e i professionisti della musica.
