Until now, there has been no formal technique for literary or process dramaturgy. This step-by-step process for applying dramaturgical thinking is a series of questions, exercises, and considerations to ask throughout the process of theatre making and rehearsal. The first how-to literary and process dramaturgy guide. Full of practical exercises, questions, and ways to approach dramaturgical thinking. Accessible exploration of a subject that can sometimes be inaccessibly academic. This volume will be of great interest to students and dramaturgs.
1000 Yard Stare: A Marine's Eye View of the Vietnam War
by Marc Waszkiewicz Lea Jones Crista DoughertyA grunt&’s-eye view of the Vietnam War through hundreds of personal photosMarc Waszkiewicz served three tours (1967, 1968, 1969) as an artillery forward observer with the U.S. Marine Corps in Vietnam, where he took thousands of photos capturing the beauty, drudgery, hilarity, and horror of the war. 1,000-Yard Stare collects the best of these in a book that presents an unvarnished grunt&’s-eye view of the Vietnam War. These are amazing, well-shot photos--most of them color, many of them truly arresting--of Marines in the field, in camp, on base, fighting, patrolling, writing, drinking, carrying on. Some have the feeling of candid snapshots while others are more composed (Waszkiewicz was, and is, an amateur photographer), with subjects ranging from a gunner calculating ranges with pencil and protractor and a chaplain conducting a battlefield mass to grunts smoking illicit substances while pretending to fish and images of barbed wire twisting in the jungle and watchtowers at twilight. Also included are photographs from Waszkiewicz&’s postwar decades of coming to terms with his experiences, such as a sequence of poignant photos from The Wall in Washington and his trip back to Vietnam. This is a visual memoir of the war.

Em 1000 ANOS DE ALEGRIAS E TRISTEZAS, Ai Weiwei oferece-nos uma descrição impressionante da China dos últimos 1000 anos ao mesmo tempo que reflecte sobre o seu processo artístico. Além de explorar as origens da sua criatividade fora de série e das suas apaixonadas convicções políticas, Weiwei revela ainda a história do seu pai, Ai Qing, outrora o poeta mais influente da China e companheiro próximo e íntimo de Mao Tsé-Tung. Durante a Revolução Cultural Chinesa, Ai Qing foi considerado de direita e condenado a trabalhos forçados. Toda a sua família, incluindo o filho, foi desterrada para uma parte remota e desolada do país a que chamavam «Pequena Sibéria». Nas suas memórias, Weiwei descreve uma infância no exílio e conta-nos a difícil decisão de abandonar a família para ir estudar Arte nos Estados Unidos, onde se tornou amigo de Allen Ginsberg e encontrou em Marcel Duchamp e Andy Warhol uma inspiração. Com honestidade e sageza, descreve o seu regresso à China e a sua ascensão de artista desconhecido a estrela da cena artística internacional e activista pelos direitos humanos - sem esquecer a forma como o seu trabalho tem sido moldado pela vivência sob um regime totalitário.
