Sinossi

Stagecraft Origins explores the captivating evolution of stagecraft in Western theatre, illuminating how innovations in lighting, set design, and sound have profoundly shaped storytelling on stage. The book contends that stagecraft's progression reflects broader cultural and artistic shifts, influencing both creative practices and audience expectations. For example, the development of perspective scenery during the Renaissance dramatically altered theatrical experiences, while advancements in lighting technologies from gas to electric empowered new levels of stage realism in the 19th and 20th centuries.

 
The book unfolds chronologically, beginning with rudimentary stagecraft in ancient Greece and Rome, and moves through the innovations of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, eventually reaching the rapid advancements of the 19th and 20th centuries. By examining primary sources like theatre manuals and architectural drawings, the book emphasizes the interplay between technology and artistic expression. This approach reveals how theatrical technology history is deeply connected to art history, architecture, and the broader history of technology, offering a comprehensive perspective on the performing arts.

    Martha Graham (May 11, 1894 - April 1, 1991) was an influential American modern dancer and choreographer. In 1926, the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance was established. In the following decades, it would help develop many of her famous proteges.  
    In 1938, Graham became the first dancer to perform at the White House. In 1976, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Gerald Ford. Graham's influence on dance has been compared with the influence of Picasso on modern visual arts, Stravinsky on music, and Frank Lloyd Wright on architecture.  
    This recording is from a lecture Graham gave on the requirements for being an exceptional dancer.

    “You look so familiar, where have I seen you?” Mira Tzur repeatedly hears this statement when she enters a room. The answer to this question is what inspired Anonymously Famous™. Mira Tzur is best known for her multifaceted talents and familiar, warm presence. She is an Israeli American Founder & President of One Circle Productions & Consulting Group, actress, theater and film producer, social philanthropist, French Countess, former counterintelligence IDF officer, and Senior Vice President of a next gen fintech company. Her background and unique credentials in dance, fitness, nutrition, modeling, and acting set her up for a life of success as a leader in the business world. This informative A to Z guide illustrates her own—often humorous—25-year journey in the industry of modeling and acting, sharing interviews with many of her renowned peers and colleagues, demonstrating that modeling is a lifestyle that evolves over time. Throughout the book, Mira expresses a strong message that a model can work in the profession at any age, depicting their stage in life to inspire the target audience. Twenty years of experience has a far greater value than being 20 years old, even in a business driven by external beauty. Thus, while most fashion modeling books speak to the 1% dreaming of becoming a supermodel—for most, an unattainable goal—this book speaks to the other 99% who, at some point, dream of modeling but were told not to pursue it. Anonymously Famous™ explores in-depth, the platforms you’ll need to know about: print, commercial, voice-over, hosting, animation, unions, agents, managers, casting directors, photographers, modeling [fit, foot, fitness, part, petit, plus, mature, etc.], giving the reader enough mileage to take their own journey. In today’s world, the only thing that you have going for you is you! Are you the best version of yourself at any given age?

    Book Summary: Confronting Evil by Bill O’Reilly and Josh Hammer 
     Assessing the Worst of the Worst 
    What drives human beings to commit acts of unspeakable cruelty—and what separates those who resist evil from those who enable it? In Confronting Evil, Bill O’Reilly and Josh Hammer examine history’s darkest figures to reveal the moral choices that define humanity’s ongoing battle between good and evil. 
    This summary explores the key ideas and insights behind O’Reilly and Hammer’s chilling yet thought-provoking analysis of tyrants, conquerors, and criminals—from Genghis Khan and Caligula to Hitler, Stalin, and modern-day despots. Through their stories, the book sheds light on the psychology of power, corruption, and the devastating cost of moral indifference. 
    With clarity and depth, this companion guide distills the authors’ central message: evil persists not only because of those who commit it, but because too many good people look away. 
    Disclaimer: This is an unofficial summary and analysis of Confronting Evil by Bill O’Reilly and Josh Hammer. It is intended to provide educational value and enhance understanding of the original work.

    Mary Beale (1633–1699) was one of the earliest professional women artists in Britain. Her successful career was documented by her husband, Charles, whose almanacks provide a unique record of Mary's patrons, painting technique and family affairs. Her portraits of politicians, clergy, aristocracy and intellectuals reflect the vibrant literary, scientific and political scene of the seventeenth century. She has been seen as a feminist icon not only as a professional artist but also as a poet and the author of a Discourse on Friendship (1667) which argued for the equality of husband and wife in marriage – a radical concept at that time.
    This new edition includes newly documented paintings by Mary Beale that have come to light since the first edition was published in 2019.
