For five years, Meredith Davenport has photographed and interviewed
men who play live-action games based on contemporary conflicts,
such as a recreation of the hunt for Osama Bin Laden that took
place thousands of miles from the conflict zone on a campground in
Northern Virginia. Her images speak about the way that trauma and
conflict penetrate a culture sheltered from the horrors of war.
Bringing together a series of two dozen photographs with essays
discussing and analyzing the influence of the media, particularly
photographs and video, on the culture at large and how conflict is
"discussed" in the visual realm, "Theater of War" is a unique look
at the influence of contemporary conflict, and their omni-presence
in the media on popular culture. Written by an experienced
photojournalist who has covered a variety of human rights issues
worldwide, this book is an essential addition to the library of
anyone interested in the confluence of war and media.
The Reflexive Teaching Artist invites Teaching Artists at all
levels of experience to consider the power of reflective practice.
Kathryn Dawson and Daniel A. Kelin, II offer a reflective framework
- a series of foundational concepts, including intentionality,
quality, artistic perspective, assessment and praxis - illuminated
through reflexive case-study examples from Teaching Artists in a
wide range of settings. The authors write from the dual
perspectives of artist and educator to raise fundamental questions
about the complex intentions, relationships and function of the
teaching artist in school, community and professional theatre
settings. Through questions, guided reflection activities,
collected wisdom from the field, and an introductory
action-research model, Dawson, Kelin and their contributors closely
examine the practice of teaching in, through and about drama and
theatre.
What happens when a legendary trickster of folklore suddenly
returns to his home islands? On Majuro Atoll of the Marshall
Islands, the long ago trickster Letao bursts forth from an
artificial tree and faces the biggest challenge of his long,
fantastical life. He wends his way through the absurdities of
modern life in search of whoever it was that reshaped his lovely
island world into a land without magic but plenty of crazy, large
turtles. Through humorous antics and a smattering of belligerent
attitude, Letao turns the upside down world, upside down. Here's a
rambunctious story that begs the reader to ask some serious, and a
few goofy, 'what ifs.'
