The hidden key to a healthy relationship is not just managing
money but understanding how the other "approaches "money.
Every couple argues about money. It doesn't matter if you've
been married for 40 years or dating for 4 months, money touches
every decision you make as a couple--from the $5 cup of coffee to
the $50,000 car. And when the two of you don't see eye-to-eye on
how much to spend or how much to save, that's when arguments turn
into ugly toxic fights that leave both persons feeling hurt and
angry. It's why money has become the #1 cause of divorce in the
U.S. Obviously, something needs to change. The reason this crisis
has not been addressed is because it has never been identified,
defined, or given a name. Scott and Bethany Palmer, aka "The Money
Couple," have identified and defined this problem and offer
concrete solutions to fix it.
Once you know your Money Personality, you can get to the root of
money arguments and start really working together. You'll discover
what has an impact on your loved one's money decisions, and you'll
learn how to talk about money in a way that's actually fun You'll
figure out how to put an end to money secrets and lies once and for
all.
It's not just about money management, and it's definitely not
just about overcoming debt. It is a whole new way of living that
will change everything in your relationship. Tens of thousands have
already been transformed. Are you ready?

This is the first major collection of critical responses to
performance lighting and includes contributions from award-winning
lighting designers, researchers and artists. Showcasing recent
examples of work - with case studies of lighting practices in
Britain, Europe, the US and China - combined with theoretical and
analytical approaches to practice, this will enrich your
understanding of the role and potential of light in performance and
related creative practices. This volume explores three core themes
and provides a framework for thinking through the role of light in
performance: 1. Experience - considers both the audience's
experience of light and the ways in which light influences the
experience of performers 2. Creativity - examines both the
creative, performative capacities of light in performance, as well
as the creative practices of lighting designers 3. Meaning - offers
an expanded view of performance aesthetics by examining the
capacity of light to influence and generate meaning within
performance. The case studies are drawn from a wide-array of
lighting practice, including: Jennifer Tipton on the role of light
as a structural language in performance; Jesper Kongshaug on the
lighting of Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens; Lucy Carter on her work in
installation and dance; Psyche Chui on the productive fusion of
Western lighting techniques with contemporary Chinese opera;
Katharine Williams on the role of light in feminist political
theatre made by RashDash; and Paule Constable on storytelling with
light in a range of productions, including War Horse, The Curious
Incident of the Dog in the Night Time and Angels in America.
A classic work of theatre history and criticism when first
published, Arnold Aronson's formative study surveyed the phenomenon
known as environmental theatre. Now updated in this richly
illustrated second edition to reflect developments and practice
since the 1980s, it offers readers a comprehensive study of the
theatre practice which has evolved to become the dominant mode of
much contemporary innovative performance. For most audiences,
particularly in the Western tradition, theatre means going to a
building in which seats face a stage on which actors perform a
play. But there has always been a vital alternative that came to be
known as environmental theatre. Whether in folk performances,
street theatre, avant-garde performance, utopian architecture,
Happenings, mass spectacles, or contemporary immersive theatre, the
relationship of the spectator to the performance has been one in
which the audience is surrounded or immersed in a shared space, in
which the multiple events may be happening simultaneously, and in
which the experience of theatrical space is visceral and often
kinetic. This book examines the history of this phenomenon and
looks at a range of contemporary practice. New chapters examine how
the 'transformed spaces' of earlier work have become the
interactive and immersive productions that characterize the work of
companies such as Punchdrunk, dreamthinkspeak, Teatro da Vertigem,
En Garde Arts, and The Industry, among others. Updated to take
account of the burgeoning scholarship on the subject, The History
and Theory of Environmental Scenography remains the authoritative
account that illuminates present day theatre practice and its
antecedents.
Immersion and Participation in Punchdrunk's Theatrical Worlds is a
detailed account of the company's award-winning productions and
their historical context. Examining Punchdrunk's role as pioneers
of immersive theatre in the UK through a range of their productions
including Sleep No More and The Drowned Man besides theatrical
works such as Faust, The Duchess of Malfi and Kabeiroi, and
cross-platform productions like The Moon Slave, The Borough and The
Oracles, the book presents an original framework for understanding
immersion in theatrical and mixed reality experiences. Central to
the book is a study of how immersive experience is produced in
interaction with physical and digital scenography for participatory
audiences. Through ethnographies of the company, their designers,
actors, producers and audiences, the book interrogates the
relationship between the aesthetics of interaction and the
experience of immersion in Punchdrunk's work. The theoretical
framework that the book introduces affords analyses of material
cultures and the influence of technology on interaction design in
theatre and beyond, and offers a blueprint for next-generation
immersive design and scenography for interactive multimedia
environments.

In this book practitioner and researcher Louise Ann Wilson examines
the expanding field of socially engaged scenography and promotes
the development of scenography as a distinctive type of applied art
and performance practice that seeks tangible, therapeutic, and
transformative real-world outcomes. It is what Christopher Baugh
calls 'scenography with purpose'. Using case studies drawn from the
body of site-specific walking-performances she has created in the
UK since 2011, Wilson demonstrates how she uses scenography to
emplace challenging, marginalizing or 'missing' life-events into
rural landscapes - creating a site of transformation - in which
participants can reflect upon, re-image and re-imagine their
relationship to their circumstances. Her work has addressed
terminal illness and bereavement, infertility and childlessness by
circumstance, and (im)mobility and memory. These works have been
created on mountains, in caves, along coastlines and over beaches.
Each case-study is supported by evidential material demonstrating
the effects and outcomes of the performance being discussed. The
book reveals Wilson's creative methodology, her application of
three distinct strands of transdisciplinary research into the
site/landscape, the subject/life-event, and with the
people/participants affected by it. She explains the 7
'scenographic' principles she has developed, and which apply
theories and aesthetics relating to land/scape art and walking and
performance practices from Early Romanticism to the present day.
They are underpinned by the concept of the feminine 'material'
sublime, and informed by the attentive, autotopographic,
therapeutic and highly scenographic use of walking and landscape
found in the work of Dorothy Wordsworth and her female
contemporaries. Case studies include Fissure (2011), Ghost Bird
(2012), The Gathering (2014), Warnscale (2015), Mulliontide (2016),
Dorothy's Room (2018) and Women's Walks to Remember: 'With memory I
was there' (2018-2019).
Scenography Expanded is a foundational text offering readers a
thorough introduction to contemporary performance design, both in
and beyond the theatre. It examines the potential of the visual,
spatial, technological, material and environmental aspects of
performance to shape performative encounters. It analyses examples
of scenography as sites of imaginative exchange and transformative
experience and it discusses the social, political and ethical
dimensions of performance design. The international range of
contributors and case studies provide clear perspectives on why
scenographic design has become a central consideration for
performance makers today. The extended introduction defines the
characteristics of 21st-century scenography and examines the scope
and potentials of this new field. Across five sections, the volume
provides examples and case studies which richly illustrate the
scope of contemporary scenographic practice and which analyse the
various ways in which it is used in global cultural contexts. These
include mainstream theatre practice, experimental theatre,
installation and live art, performance in the city, large-scale
events and popular entertainments, and performances by and for
specific communities.
