Russell Krabill's church membership study for young believers. This
pupil book is a workbook with 12 lessons for 12 weeks of work.
Instead of a catechism with questions and answers, Krabill has
interwoven Christian doctrine into the lessons. Included are
projects which put the new believer to work.
Antonin Artaud is probably the single greatest force on the
contemporary stage. In this harrowing play, Charles Marowitz draws
on exclusive material obtained from friends and confidantes,
depicting a series of imaginary scenes based upon the true
incidents of Artaud's life and his incarceration as a madman in the
asylum at Rodez. Using Artaud's own Theatre of Cruelty techniques
Marowitz tells what is perhaps the cruelest story of all: the way
in which society methodically destroys the maverick artist who
attempts to defy it. Also included in this edition are exclusive
interviews with leading avant-garde figures such as Roger Blin and
Arthur Adamov as well as first-hand testimony from Artaud's own
psychiatrist, Dr Gaston Ferdiere and Artaud's sister, Marie-Ange
Malaussena.

"The first biography of this important American Indian
artist"
Artist, teacher, and Red Progressive, Angel De Cora (1869-1919)
painted "Fire Light" to capture warm memories of her Nebraska
Winnebago childhood. In this biography, Linda M. Waggoner draws on
that glowing image to illuminate De Cora's life and artistry, which
until now have been largely overlooked by scholars.
One of the first American Indian artists to be accepted within
the mainstream art world, De Cora left her childhood home on the
Winnebago reservation to find success in the urban Northeast at the
turn of the twentieth century. Despite scant documentary sources
that elucidate De Cora's private life, Waggoner has rendered a
complete picture of the woman known in her time as the first "real
Indian artist." She depicts De Cora as a multifaceted individual
who as a young girl took pride in her traditions, forged a bond
with the land that would sustain her over great distances, and
learned the role of cultural broker from her mother's Metis
family.
After studying with famed illustrator Howard Pyle at his first
Brandywine summer school, De Cora eventually succeeded in
establishing the first "Native Indian" art department at Carlisle
Indian School. A founding member of the Society of American
Indians, she made a significant impact on the American Arts and
Crafts movement by promoting indigenous arts throughout her
career.
Waggoner brings her broad knowledge of Winnebago culture and
history to this gracefully written book, which features more than
forty illustrations. "Fire Light" shows us both a consummate artist
and a fully realized woman, who learned how to traverse the borders
of Red identity in a white man's world.
Since 1993, Smith/Stewart have produced collaborative works that
involve their bodies in a series of sensorially heightened
communicative actions. In works such as Dead Red and Breathing
Space, the artists' own bodies have become material for artistic
practice and are subjected to a whole array of experiments that
mine the experience of communication. This book documents the work
and includes two original essays analysing their achievements.
