The Introverted Actor
Do you have to be an extrovert to succeed as an actor? This book offers ideas to create inclusive acting environments where the strengths of the introverted actor are as valued as those of their extroverted counterparts. As this book shows, many introverts are innately drawn to the field of acting, but can often feel inferior to their extroverted peers. From the classroom to professional auditions, from rehearsals to networking events, introverted actors tell their stories to help other actors better understand how to leverage their natural gifts, both onstage and off. In addition, The Introverted Actor helps to reimagine professional and pedagogical approaches for both actor educators and directors by offering actionable advice from seasoned psychology experts, professional actors, and award-winning educators.
The Best Class You Never Taught
The best classes have a life of their own, powered by student-led conversations that explore texts, ideas, and essential questions. In these classes, the teacher’s role shifts from star player to observer and coach as the students ▪ Think critically, ▪ Work collaboratively, ▪ Participate fully, ▪ Behave ethically, ▪ Ask and answer high-level questions, ▪ Support their ideas with evidence, and ▪ Evaluate and assess their own work. The Spider Web Discussion is a simple technique that puts this kind of class within every teacher’s reach. The name comes from the weblike diagram the observer makes to record interactions as students actively participate in the discussion, lead an...
The Introvert's Guide to Success in the Workplace
Thriving at work doesn't require changing who you are - Do brainstorming meetings leave you drained and wishing you'd said more? - Have you been ignored while your extroverted coworkers get praised? - Do you feel like you have to pretend to be someone you're not in order to get ahead? As an introvert, you may feel like the things you're best at--deep thinking, keen observation, focused listening, and strategic planning--are not highly valued in your workplace. But just because your greatest strengths are internal doesn't mean your workplace doesn't need them. In fact, your invisible skills are essential to any business's success! And the key to your personal success is not trying to be someone else but being 100% yourself. Backed by research, case studies, and personal observation, communication expert Dr. Mike Bechtle shows you how to capitalize on your unique strengths so that you can reach your full potential with confidence and authenticity. His simple, actionable advice can change your work life--starting today.
Silent Talk
In our extroverted school cultures of today, there is an emphasis on quantity of speech and constant social interaction, often leading introverted students to feel misjudged and overlooked. Silent Talk:Setting the Stage for Introverts to Thrive in the Classroom and Beyond offers research-based strategies to create inclusive classrooms where introverts are as valued as their extroverted counterparts for their potential to learn and lead. This book reimagines traditional notions of classroom participation, incorporates silence as a prelude to talk, and rescues solitude with quiet times and spaces. Filled with actionable advice, Silent Talk is an essential guide for educators seeking to nurture quiet leaders.
Creativity in Theatre
People who don’t know theatre may think the only creative artist in the field is the playwright--with actors, directors, and designers mere “interpreters” of the dramatist’s vision. Historically, however, creative mastery and power have passed through different hands. Sometimes, the playwright did the staging. In other periods, leading actors demanded plays be changed to fatten their roles. The late 19th and 20th centuries saw “the rise of the director,” in which director and playwright struggled for creative dominance. But no matter where the balance of power rested, good theatre artists of all kinds have created powerful experiences for their audience. The purpose of this volum...
Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise
What if the most serious personal and global challenges won't be solved with more thinking or talking? The world is louder than ever. It's not just the noise in our ears, but also the noise on our screens and in our heads. 'Silence is golden,' the adage goes. But how do we find it in times like these? Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz take us on an unlikely journey exploring why silence is essential for physical health, mental clarity, professional fulfilment, nourishing relationships, ecological sustainability, and vibrant community. Drawing on lessons from neuroscience, philosophy, business, politics, activism, and the arts, Golden teaches us how to go beyond the ordinary rules and offers tools of mindfulness to help individuals, organisations and whole societies dial down the noise and reclaim pristine quiet. Quietly profound and constantly surprising, Golden is a field guide to finding silence.
Bitterzoet
Waarom genieten we van een droevige film, luisteren we graag naar treurige muziek en lezen we hartverscheurende verhalen? En waarom dwingen we onszelf juist tot zo veel mogelijk positiviteit? Wat is de kracht van een bitterzoete, melancholische kijk op het leven? Licht en donker, leven en dood – bitter en zoet – zijn onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden. In Bitterzoet pleit Susan Cain voor het accepteren van die verbinding en het omarmen van onze donkerste gevoelens, zodat we werkelijke saamhorigheid, liefde en geluk ontdekken. Dit boek biedt een hoopvolle uitweg in én na een tumultueuze tijd.
Sladkobol
>>„Dokonalý lék na toxickou pozitivitu.“ — Adam Grant, autor knih Ještě to promysli a Skrytý potenciál<< ## O knize Povznáší vás smutná hudba? Nacházíte útěchu v deštivém dni nebo se dojímáte nad starými fotkami? Pak ani vám nejspíš není blízký svět, ve kterém se cení zdánlivě nenucená dokonalost a skrývání jakýchkoli známek neúspěchu, selhání či melancholie. Právě držíte v ruce důkaz, že urputný optimismus není pro společnost ta správná cesta. Susan Cain na výzkumech i dojemných příbězích ukazuje, že právě pocit sladkobolu v našich srdcích je skrytým zdrojem úžasných činů, mistrovských děl a milostných vzplanutí...
