The Piscator Experiment
Every year innocent people are victims of violent crime.Flight or Fightdelivers the training every man and woman needs to prepare for the fight of their life. Whether confronted by a drug-crazed thief with a knife, an unruly gang, or a gun-wielding robber, the victim's instincts are what determine whether they live or die. This book shows that regardless of current capability, it's possible to dramatically condition oneself psychologically and physically through simple stress drills. With easy-to-follow step-by-step photographs for over 100 exercises,Flight or Fightoffers a program that dramatically hones fighting abilities. Each drill matches basic martial arts techniques—such as punches, kicks, and throws—with the advanced mental instincts necessary for making immediate and smart decisions in dangerous situations. Going beyond training exercises,Flight or Fightalso delves into overcoming psychological hurdles like fear and adrenaline-induced aggression, which everyone faces when confronted with extreme danger.
The Piscator Notebook
'Theater legend Malina has written one of the most interesting studies of the avant-garde theatrical movement published in the last several years.' – CHOICE Judith Malina and The Living Theatre have been icons of political theatre for over six decades. What few realise is that she originally studied under one of the giants of twentieth century culture, Erwin Piscator, in his Dramatic Workshop at The New School in New York. Piscator founded the Workshop after emigrating to New York, having collaborated with Brecht to create "epic theatre" in Germany. The Piscator Notebook documents Malina’s intensive and idiosyncratic training at Piscator’s school. Part diary, part theatrical treatise, ...
Erwin Piscator's Political Theatre
This 1977 text was the first full study of Erwin Piscator, the German theatrical producer who was prominent in the 1920s and worked after 1945 with the writers Hochhuth, Kipphardt and Weiss. Professor Innes sketches the background of Dadaism and Expressionism from which Piscator came, and points out the differences between Piscator and the other experimenters of his time. He also gives a vivid description of Piscator's technical innovations, the modern means of communication such as film, the illumination of the stage from below and 'the treadmill', a flat moving band along which the characters walked. These turned drama into a multi-media event. Professor Innes uses Piscator's career as a focus to describe theatrical developments in the twentieth century and to discuss the role of the author, the director, and the actor in drama, the purpose of the theatre, and the involvement of the audience.
The Theatre of Erwin Piscator
This is the first book in English to cover the theatrical career of Erwin Piscator. As one of the leading authorities on 20th century German theatre, the author is well-equipped to write about this important director. Most of the text is devoted to the Weimar period and is illustrated with rare pictures and documents.
Visual Aids in the Productions of the First Piscator-Bühne, 1927-28
This analysis of four major productions by Erwin Piscator, Hoppla, Rasputin, Schweik and Konjunktur (1927/28), examines the nature of his pioneering visual effects. The films, projections, cartoons, elaborate sets and machinery - here designated 'visual aids' - are shown to have a didactic function. They 'frame' the action politically, thus evolving a sophisticated new theatrical method. Comparison with Brecht's work establishes differences of emphasis in the approach to a common goal. Piscator's montage of disparate elements is seen as a vital contribution to epic theatre.
