This book contains sets of exercises developed and refined over
many years that will prove valuable for every dancer, teacher and
coach. There is a description of each stage of an exercise along
with illustrative photographs to make it easier to understand and
achieve precise movement. A deep knowledge of the basic principles
of poise and actions used in Latin dance helps bring out the unique
features and characteristics of Rumba, Cha cha cha, Samba, Jive and
Paso Doble. In addition there are sets of exercises covering five
essential aspects common to several dances, including rotation,
partner connection and the use of arms.
I've written another book and this will be one of those that when
you pick it up, you'll begin to regret it. You see, I don't read
books; I read the Sun newspaper. Actually, that's a lie; because
when I get to page three I can't let go of my cock, so I can't turn
the pages.
In the cool, pre-dawn hours on a June night in 1918, a train
engineer closed his cab window as he chugged toward Hammond,
Indiana. He drifted to sleep, and his train bore down on the idle
Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus Train. Soon after, the sleeping engineer's
locomotive plowed into the circus train. In the subsequent wreckage
and blaze, more than two hundred circus performers were injured and
eighty-six were killed, most of whom were interred in a mass grave
in the Showmen's Rest section of Chicago's Woodlawn Cemetery. Join
local historian Richard Lytle as he recounts, in the fullest
retelling to date, the details of this tragedy and its role in the
overall evolution and demise of a unique entertainment industry.
German Crime Dramas from Network Television to Netflix approaches
German television crime dramas to uncover the intersections between
the genre's media-specific network and post-network formats and how
these negotiate with and contribute to concepts of the regional,
national, and global. Part I concentrates on the ARD network's
long-running flagship series Tatort (Crime Scene 1970-). Because
the domestically produced crime drama succeeded in interacting with
and competing against dominant U.S. formats during 3 different
mediascapes, it offers strategic lessons for post-network
television. Situating 9 Tatort episodes in their televisual moment
within the Sunday evening flow over 38 years and 3 different German
regions reveals how producers, writers, directors, critics, and
audiences interacted not only with the cultural socio-political
context, but also responded to the challenges aesthetically,
narratively, and media-reflexively. Part II explores how post-2017
German crime dramas (Babylon Berlin, Dark, Perfume, and Dogs of
Berlin) rework the genre's formal and narrative conventions for
global circulation on Netflix. Each chapter concentrates on the
dynamic interplay between time-shifted viewing, transmedia
storytelling, genre hybridity, and how these interact with
projections of cultural specificity and continue or depart from
established network practices. The results offer crucial
information and inspiration for producers and executives, for
creative teams, program directors, and television scholars.

Musical theatre is often perceived as either a Broadway based art
form, or as having separate histories in London and New York.
Musical Theatre Histories: Expanding the Narrative, however,
depicts the musical as neither American nor British, but both and
more, having grown out of frequent and substantial interactions
between both centres (and beyond). Through multiple thematic
'histories', Millie Taylor and Adam Rush take readers on a series
of journeys that include the art form's European and American
origins, African American influences, negotiations arounddiversity,
national identity, and the globalisation of the form, as well as
revival culture, censorship and the place of social media in the
21st century. Each chapter includes case studies and key concept
boxes to identify, explain and contextualise important discussions,
offering an accessible study of a dynamic and ever evolving medium.
Written and developed for undergraduate students, this introductory
textbook provides a newly focused and alternative way of
understanding musical theatre history.

Drag may have been around for hundreds of years, but it's only in
recent years that it's really hit the mainstream. Thanks in part to the
phenomenon that is RuPaul's Drag Race, drag is now a regular feature of
TV, streaming, podcasts and more, and it is beloved by many - stars
such as Bianca Del Rio and Trixie Mattel are now household names. But
that growing fame hasn't been entirely positive, with backlash from
conservatives and religious groups.
The Little Book of Drag is a sickening celebration of all things drag,
serving realness with facts, history and quotes from the queens.
Providing all the T on everything you've ever wanted to know, this is
the book for any queen who wants to get reading . . . the library is
open.
The great French mime performer, Claude Kipnis, reveals the
mechanisms and techniques of mime in an easy-to-understand
translation. This is not a theoretical "art of" book, but a
functional "how to" and "why to" instructional guide. Individual
exercises are included, together with detailed coverage of body
movements, the illusion and how to create a world. We know of no
other book that so comprehensively explains how the functions of
mime are achieved. Certainly a basic text for any aspiring mime.
Through a career that spanned decades and included dozens of
films-among them such American masterpieces asThe Searchers, The
Grapes of Wrath, The Quiet Man, Stagecoach, and How Green Was My
Valley-John Ford managed to leave as his legacy a body of work that
few filmmakers will ever equal. Yet as bold as the stamp of his
personality was on each film, he was reticent about his personal
life. Basically shy, and intensely private, he was known to enjoy
making up stories about himself, some of them based loosely on fact
but many of them pure fabrications. Ford preferred instead to let
his films speak for him. What mattered to Ford was always what was
up there on the screen. Now, in this definitive look at the life
and career of one of America's true cinematic giants, noted
biographer and critic Scott Eyman, working with the full
participation of the Ford estate, has managed to document and
delineate both aspects of John Ford's life-the human and the
legend.

The Steps for the future documentary film project began in 2000, as
a shared journey by talented African filmmakers and well-known
professionals from around the world. The experience of the North
combined with the knowledge of the South was an auspicious fusion
that helped create 38 unique films. It was also the catalyst for
new documentary projects such as Why Democracy? All the films
produced dealt with the question of death and the enormous problem
of HIV and AIDS in Southern Africa. Films that millions of people
have seen worldwide, that have received awards from Cannes to
Zanzibar, and - dubbed into local languages - are still used
throughout southern Africa. Steps by steps provides an honest and
thorough picture of the process, step by step. Detailed accounts of
the logistics of making the series are mingled with reflections on
the art of direction, working with other people and the reality of
the lives of those people affected by HIV and AIDS. Steps by steps
gives a rare behind-the-scenes look at the making of documentary
films and the building of a worldwide project, complete with its
problems and triumphs, mistakes and unique results.

Traditional speech work has long favored an upper-class white
accent as the model of intelligibility. Because of that,
generations of actors have felt disconnected from their own
identities and acting choices. This much-needed textbook redresses
that trend and encourages actors to achieve intelligibility through
rigorous language analysis and an exploration of their own accent
and articulation practices. Following an acting class model, where
you first analyze the script then reveal yourself through it, this
work breaks down a process for analyzing language in a way that
excites the imagination. Guiding the student through the labyrinth
of abstract concepts and terms, readers are delivered into the
practicality of exercises and explorations, giving them
self-awareness that enables them to make their own speech come
alive. Informed throughout by notes from the author's own extensive
experience working with directors and acting teachers, this book
serves as an ideal speech-training resource for the 21st -century
actor, and includes specially commissioned online videos
demonstrating key exercises.
