The Power of Acting

Josephine Larsen

ACTING is a vast and relatively unknown subject... for many. And yet millions are fascinated by it. Why? The answer is because this all-encompassing human art form is as fundamental to the self-actualisation of a human being as reading, writing and maths. We sense this. We know it. Surely the possession of such knowledge would be of great advantage in any profession, in any walk of life, and not just the preserve of stage and film? Why are we not taught these playful and transformative skills in school? This book uncovers why, and reveals top acting secrets, techniques and games that will dramatically change the way you see yourself and the world around you. 'This is a wonderfully helpful book regarding the importance of adults learning to play again, in order to free themselves from the oppressive everyday tramlines we follow... Josephine is a great inspiration to many people and this book will show you why.' Peter Richardson - founder of the COMIC STRIP troupe
'Sculptress of the creative spirit, enkindling in even our most timid selves a passion for play, interconnectedness, listening, ritual and generosity on all of life's stages,Josephine is an indelible force of love and wisdom, at once ready for a fit of laughter or all hell to break loose. For her teachings and humanity, my immeasurable gratitude! Watch out for that fourth wall; you might fall through it reading this book.' Seumas F. Sargent, Performer, Blue Man Group, Berlin 'You're a rock, an inspiration, a star-I wish to the heavens I'd had teachers like you when I was at school! My God, I could have done anything.' Richard Down - a player 'My life changed beyond all recognition during the last four years coming to your classes with many, many challenges. The safe loving environment you created has been a great source of strength-even when I have been unable to attend! It has been a very important part of my liberation.' Louise Gough - a player

The Word of Dog - What Our...

Mark Rowlands

A heartwarming philosophical meditation on how to live a fulfilling life—inspired by the inherent happiness of dogs. 
 
 
 
If you have spent any part of your life with a dog, you may have found certain questions popping, unbidden, into your mind: Is my dog living a fulfilled life? Is my dog a good dog? Does my dog love me? Addressing these questions compels you to confront not just your dog's life but yours as well—to think about what fulfillment, and meaning, in life really is. 
 
 
 
In The Word of Dog, philosopher Mark Rowlands explores these questions and suggests that in dogs we can see hints—faint, shrouded, but discernible—of what a better way of living might look like. Perhaps none of us can be happy in the way a dog can, but The Word of Dog shows us we could do a lot better than we're doing simply by listening to the unspoken wisdom our dogs reveal to us every day of their happy, uncomplicated lives.
