Sinopse

Statues Buried explores the captivating stories behind sculptures intentionally buried or lost to time, later rediscovered through archaeology. It delves into why ancient civilizations concealed these artworks, revealing insights into their cultures, beliefs, and power dynamics. Motivations ranged from iconoclasm and religious upheaval to protecting statues during war, offering a unique perspective on historical events. For instance, the deliberate burial of statues often reflected political turmoil or shifts in religious dominance, providing tangible evidence of societal changes. The book examines the meticulous archaeological processes involved in unearthing these treasures, highlighting the challenges and ethical considerations of excavation. It showcases how rediscovering buried statues reshapes our understanding of the past by challenging conventional historical interpretations. The book unfolds by first examining the motives for statue burial, then detailing the archaeological processes, and finally delving into the impact of these discoveries on art history and cultural heritage. Ultimately, the rediscovery of these statues serves as a potent act of historical recovery, connecting us to forgotten cultures.

    “The Authentic Actor – the Art and Business of Being Yourself” illuminates for today’s actors the skills, strategies, and mental approach to navigating the intersection of art and commerce. It’s the culmination of Michael Laskin’s over forty years in the profession, and thousands of hours of classroom work and private coaching. Today’s “Authentic Actor” is someone who has successfully merged their highly developed talent with their fully examined identity. Unfortunately, being talented is no longer enough. Talent is just the “price of admission” in a marketplace where, at the professional level, nearly everyone is talented. Defining, refining, and understanding your indelibility as an actor, your “blink-of-an-eye” factor is key. Marrying that with highly developed traditional skills is the portal to success and artistry. It's not just show business....it's human business.
