Book Dancing in Shadows

Download or read book Dancing in Shadows written by Benny Widyono and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2008 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book recounts the remarkable tale of a career UN official caught in the turmoil of international and domestic politics swirling around Cambodia after the fall of the Khmer Rouge. First as a member of the UN transitional authority and then as a personal envoy to the UN secretary-general, Benny Widyono re-creates the fierce battles for power centering on King Norodom Sihanouk, the Khmer Rouge, and Prime Minister Hun Sen. He also sets the international context, arguing that great-power geopolitics throughout the Cold War and post-Cold War eras triggered and sustained a tragedy of enormous proportions in Cambodia for decades, leading to a flawed peace process and the decline of Sihanouk as a dominant political figure. Putting a human face on international operations, this book will be invaluable reading for anyone interested in Southeast Asia, the role of international peacekeeping, and the international response to genocide.

Book Dancing in Shadows

Download or read book Dancing in Shadows written by Anna Haebich and published by Apollo Books. This book was released on 2018 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dancing in Shadows explores the power of Indigenous performance pitted against the forces of settler colonisation. Historian Anna Haebich documents how the Nyungar people of Western Australia strategically and courageously adapted their rich performance culture to survive the catastrophe that engulfed them, and continue to generously share their culture, history, and language in theatre. In public corroborees, they performed their sovereignty to the colonists, and in community-only gatherings they danced and sang to bring forth resilience and spiritual healing. Pushed away by the colonists and denied their culture and lands, they continued to live and perform in the shadows over the years in combinations of the old and the new, including indigenised settler songs and dances. Nyungar people survived, and they now number around 40,000 people and constitute the largest Aboriginal nation in the Australian settler state. The ancient family lineages live in city suburbs and country towns, and they continue to perform to celebrate their ancestors and to strengthen community well-being by being together. Dancing in Shadows sheds light on the little-known history of Nyungar performance. [Subject: Theatre Studies, Sociology, History, Australian History, Aboriginal Studies]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You are my mate, and you belong with me, by my side. You will be Luna, whether you like it or not. I will drag you there myself, if I have to." They stood, facing each other, each seething, fury building, threatening to mount to something Caia would not allow. "You really think so?" She asked, quietly. He nodded, eyes black, his canines threatening to protrude from his mouth. And her mind was made up. She took a deep breath, mentally preparing, as every part of her steeled itself for the words about to come forth. "I, Caia Alman, re-" He immediately whirled her around, clamping his hand over her mouth, but she said them into his palm, "eject you as my mate." ________4 years have passed since Caia Alman rejected Cedric Lincoln, Alpha of the Sacred Shadows pack, as her mate. Since then, she has rebuilt her life in a new city, chasing her dreams that have never, not for a second, involved being a Luna. She thought her connection to the Alpha would have died with her rejection. But, when Cedric comes into her office, she is horrified to see that the Moon Goddess has other ideas.

Book Dancing in the Shadows of the Moon

Download or read book Dancing in the Shadows of the Moon written by Machaelle Small Wright and published by Perelandra, Limited. This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her first books, Behaving as if the God in All Life Mattered, Machaelle Small Wright wrote: "If we allowed all the knowledge from our soul level to fully flow and be totally accessible to our conscious self ... before we disciplined ourselves on how to respond to such as flow on the physical level, we would shatter. Blindly expressing limitless through limitation would be more pressure than our body could bear." In Behaving, Machaelle scratched the surface on a whole new reality. Now, in Dancing, she opens the door and invites us in. Out to discredit the "Ozzie and Harriet" School of Spirituality, Machaelle gives us extensive groundwork, supported by an actual account of her own expansion experience. She tells of her introduction to the White Brotherhood - that evolved group of souls who assist humans in their evolutionary development - in a story told through journal entries for those early years of her nature work. Reading Dancing, you feel like a bird on Machaelle's shoulder ... watching the expansion unfold.

Book Dancing Shadows Of Bali

Download or read book Dancing Shadows Of Bali written by Angela Hobart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1987. This book began in Bali during 1970–72, during the author’s Ph.D. research on the shadow theatre for the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. However, two subsequent trips to Bali in 1980 and 1984, when I studied other forms of dance-drama and ritual, greatly contributed to the work. The shadow theatre in Bali is described and its place in the society and culture explored. It is so called, as during the night performance puppets cast vibrant shadows against a white cotton screen which is illuminated by a flickering coconut-oil lamp.

Download or read book Lighting Dance written by Flaviana Xavier Antunes Sampaio and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lighting Dance pioneers the discussion of the ability of lighting design to foreground shadow in dance performances. Through a series of experiments integrating light, shadow, and improvised dance movement, it highlights and analyses what it advances as an innovative expression of shadow in dance as an alternative to more conventional approaches to lighting design. Different art forms, such as painting, film, and dance pieces from Loie Fuller, the Russell Maliphant Dance Company, Elevenplay, Pilobolus, and the Tao Dance Theater served to inspire and contextualise the study. From lighting to psychology, from reviews to academic books, shadows are examined as a symbolic and manipulative entity. The book also presents the dance solo Sombreiro, which was created to echo the experiments with light, shadow, and movement aligned to an interpretation of cultural shadow (Jung 1954, in Samuels, Shorter, and Plaut 1986; Casement 2006; Ramos 2004; Stein 2004; and others). The historical development of lighting within dance practices is also outlined, providing a valuable resource for lighting designers, dance practitioners, and theatre goers interested in the visuality of dance performances.
