Summary

Imagine a City That Remembers grew out of a series of articles and photographs published in the Albuquerque Tribune in 1998 and 1999. This expanded and updated collection revisits Albuquerque nearly twenty years after the original articles were written. It juxtaposes historic and contemporary photographs of Albuquerque to show diverse moments in the city’s history and development. The authors, ardent defenders of the vitality of Albuquerque’s past, contend that the city is still small enough to be in touch with its history and argue that what makes Albuquerque a great place is the continued presence of its strong traditions. They further believe that preserving Albuquerque’s natural and cultural heritage is critical to the city’s future. Throughout, both express a deep understanding for this complicated, beautiful, and often misunderstood place.

    Hans Memling, a painter from Flanders, is the holder of an unfortunate record. He painted a triptych, The Last Judgment, commissioned by Medici banker Angelo Tani. The paintings were intended for a new chapel in Fiesole in Tuscany, near the city of Florence.[1] However, in April 1472, the ship on which they were being transported from Bruges to Florence was intercepted by Polish privateer and Danzig Town Council leader Paul Beneke. The captured ship and its cargo were taken to the Polish city of Gdansk, and Memling’s triptych was placed on display in St Mary’s Church in that city. The Last Judgment remained as an altarpiece in Gdansk until it was moved to the National Museum in Gdansk in the 20th century.  
    	This is generally accepted as the first documented instance of modern art theft, and it marks an important turning point. Prior to this, no self-respecting privateer would have bothered to steal a painting – they would have instead concentrated on coinage, gold or silver, or precious stones, items that, in other words, had a high intrinsic value. Paintings had no such value, though many had great subjective importance.  
    	In the 16th and 17th centuries, this began to change. Private collectors became interested in art, and suddenly, some paintings became worth a great deal of money. By the beginning of the 20th century, a number of paintings by well-known artists had become incredibly valuable. Thus, it should come as little surprise that as art began to be more highly valued and appreciated, stealing historic works also became more commonplace.  
    	The threat of theft also necessitated higher security, whether through technological advancements or personnel, which meant that the most recent attempts to steal valuable works would also be the most audacious. Whether the thefts took place during wartime (especially World War II) or in times of peace, it required ambition and daring to attempt art theft.

    The vital building blocks of movement training – a key sourcebook for actors, directors, students and teachers.
    In precise detail, Darley sets out the exercises and techniques she developed with her own drama-school students. She deals with the vital building blocks of movement training: awareness, relaxation, tension—particularly Lecoq's Seven States—and suspension, before progressing to areas in which she was a pioneer: animal work, contact work, visual spacing, and the relationship between voice and movement.
