Sinossi

Unexpected Stage Innovations explores the fascinating evolution of theater, spotlighting the pivotal role of technology in transforming live performances. From rudimentary gas lighting to immersive projection mapping and robotics, the book examines how stage innovations have continually redefined storytelling. It highlights that these advancements aren't mere tools, but active agents that shape the artistic landscape, influencing everything from narrative structures to audience experiences. 

 
The book traces this evolution across three sections, beginning with foundational technologies and their initial impact. It then delves into specific innovations through case studies of groundbreaking productions. Did you know that the introduction of electricity in theaters marked a paradigm shift, enabling unprecedented control over lighting and atmosphere? Or that kinetic architecture is now being used to create stages that dynamically transform during a performance?

 
Finally, the book analyzes current trends like virtual and augmented reality, pondering their potential to further revolutionize live performance. Ultimately, Unexpected Stage Innovations provides a unique perspective by focusing on the collaborative dynamics between artists and technicians, and underscoring the often-unsung contributions of those behind the scenes. By bridging technical jargon with artistic interpretation, the book offers valuable insights into the past, present, and future of stagecraft.

Seeing the Gospel - An...

Eve Tibbs

Learning to read Orthodox icons is an opportunity to engage Holy Scripture with greater depth and understanding. It allows viewers to uncover fresh dimensions and encounter the Kingdom of God from within the created world. The meaning of icons, which are often referred to as "windows into heaven," reaches beyond the limits of the natural world and into the divine realm. 
 
Eve Tibbs is an Orthodox insider and veteran teacher who has devoted her career to translating the faith for evangelicals. Her comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the history, theology, spirituality, and role of icons in Eastern Orthodoxy is followed by an immersive experience--a narrative journey through eighteen pivotal events in the life of Jesus Christ as depicted in the New Testament Gospels. Each event is illuminated through the form and color of Orthodox icons accompanied by descriptions of the messages they convey. Here "interpretation" works in two ways: to guide the curious, artists, students and even the lifelong Orthodox in interpreting icons and to show how icons interpret the biblical text. 
 
Seeing the Gospel presents a visual biblical language for a visual culture and even describes how icons can be used in other faith traditions. The book includes a foreword by Richard J. Mouw and features ninety full-color icons throughout.

Prairie Man - My Little House...

Dean Butler

An illuminating, insider's journey through the world of Little House on the Prairie and beyond, from Dean Butler, who starred as Almanzo Wilder on the iconic show still beloved by millions of fans as it reaches its fiftieth anniversary. 
 
 
 
Cast just before his twenty-third birthday, Dean Butler joined Little House on the Prairie halfway through its run, gaining instant celebrity and fans' enduring affection. Now, with wit and candor, Butler recounts his passage through the Prairie, sharing stories and anecdotes of the remarkable cast who were his on-screen family. But that was merely the beginning of a diverse career that includes Broadway runs and roles on two other classic shows—Moondoggie in The New Gidget and Buffy's ne'er-do-well father, Hank, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Coming of age during a golden era of entertainment, Butler has evolved along with it, and today enjoys success and fulfillment as a director and producer—notably of NBC Golf's Feherty—while remaining deeply loyal to Little House. 
 
 
 
The warmth, heart, and decency that fans of Laura and Almanzo fell in love with on Little House echo through this uplifting memoir, a story, in Butler's words, about "good luck, good television, and the very good—if gloriously imperfect—people who made it so."
