  Movies under the Influence charts the entangled histories of moviegoing and mind-altering substances from early cinema through the psychedelic 1970s. Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece examines how the parallel trajectories of these two aspects of American culture resulted in them being treated and regulated in similar ways. Rather than looking at drug use within film, she regards cinema and intoxicants as kindred experiences of immersion that have been subject to corresponding forces of ideology and power. 
   
   
   
  Szczepaniak-Gillece demonstrates how American movie theaters sought to cultivate a dual identity, presenting themselves as both a place of wholesome entertainment and a zone of illicit behavior. Movies under the Influence highlights the legislative, legal, and corporate powers that held sway over theaters, locating the convergence of moviegoing and drug use as a site of mediation and social control. 
   
   
   
  As much as substances and cinema are points where power intervenes, they are also settings of potential transcendence, and Movies under the Influence maintains this paradox as a necessary component of American film history. This book examines the relationship intoxicants suggest between mass media, spectatorship, and governmental regulation and provides a new angle from which to understand cinema's lasting role in evolving American culture.

  TAKE IT EASY™ isn't about a new way of doing improv, nor is it meant to replace your own style or approach. Instead it's a mindset that can inform your performance and your approach to improvisation. The exercises and ideas in here will give you more freedom onstage, help you be less attached to the outcome and more in the moment, and generally see you having more fun. 
  This is not an ‘introduction to improv’ book, nor is it a how-to manual. This book is a collection of thoughts and observations designed to give people a different perspective on their craft, and it also includes games and exercises for people to do on their own or to bring to their group to reinforce some of the principles and ideas and thoughts expressed herein. 
  Improv is, paradoxically, a pursuit that requires both dedication and an absence of trying. For when a player is trying too hard, they will inevitably fail. This book, by longtime improviser and improv teacher Ryan Millar, is filled with stories, thoughts, advice, and exercises to help players improve their improv, and do more by doing less.  
  TAKE IT EASY™ is the chillest way to supercharge your improv.

  PIANO & Keyboard Exercises for...

  When you’re learning to play the piano or electric keyboard, knowing what the lines and spaces on a staff represent and how the notes on your instrument correspond to those on sheet music isn’t enough to become a proficient musician. Although you’re a beginner, you can improve your abilities in many ways. You don’t only need to know the correct keys to press and when to play them. A vast world of music theory and compositional variety greatly changes certain aspects of a song and ways to craft and play musical pieces to express yourself more freely. 
  Having the knowledge to reproduce what you read on sheet music is a wonderful skill, but music isn’t about rigidly following directions. Every composer and musician should develop their style and form. You can hand a piece of sheet music to a dozen talented piano players, and each will perform it uniquely. The song’s structure is the same, but there will be little techniques and flourishes that set them apart from the others. How music feels when you play is as important as hitting the right notes in the correct order.  
  Everybody has to start somewhere when learning a new instrument. Thanks to the simplicity of the piano’s layout, there is intuitiveness to each key moving from one note to the next. They span from A to G♯ (A♭) and reset back to A so the cycle of notes can repeat. With practice, you will locate the correct notes without looking at the W 2 keyboard. It helps with reading sheet music since you can focus on it instead of constantly looking down at the keys. Once you have a handle on reading sheet music, you can play songs tailored to novice musicians in no time.
