Download or read book An Actor s Work written by Konstantin Stanislavski and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 762 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stanislavski’s ‘system’ has dominated actor-training in the West since his writings were first translated into English in the 1920s and 30s. His systematic attempt to outline a psycho-physical technique for acting single-handedly revolutionized standards of acting in the theatre. Until now, readers and students have had to contend with inaccurate, misleading and difficult-to-read English-language versions. Some of the mistranslations have resulted in profound distortions in the way his system has been interpreted and taught. At last, Jean Benedetti has succeeded in translating Stanislavski’s huge manual into a lively, fascinating and accurate text in English. He has remained faithful to the author's original intentions, putting the two books previously known as An Actor Prepares and Building A Character back together into one volume, and in a colloquial and readable style for today's actors. The result is a major contribution to the theatre, and a service to one of the great innovators of the twentieth century. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by the director Richard Eyre.

Download or read book Music Perception written by Mari Riess Jones and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-08-17 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Springer Handbook of Auditory Research presents a series of comprehensive and synthetic reviews of the fundamental topics in modern auditory research. The v- umes are aimed at all individuals with interests in hearing research including advanced graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and clinical investigators. The volumes are intended to introduce new investigators to important aspects of hearing science and to help established investigators to better understand the fundamental theories and data in fields of hearing that they may not normally follow closely. Each volume presents a particular topic comprehensively, and each serves as a synthetic overview and guide to the literature. As such, the chapters present neither exhaustive data reviews nor original research that has not yet appeared in pe- reviewed journals. The volumes focus on topics that have developed a solid data and conceptual foundation rather than on those for which a literature is only beg- ning to develop. New research areas will be covered on a timely basis in the series as they begin to mature.

Download or read book Tour Tempo written by John Novosel and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2004-04-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What swing secret is shared by nearly all golf greats – from Ben Hogan to Tiger Woods? John Novosel’s revolutionary breakthrough has cracked the “genetic code” of the golf swing – Tour Tempo. Tiger Woods…Greg Norman…Ben Hogan. What secret do these and nearly all golf legends share? Identical swing tempo. John Novosel has cracked the “genetic code” of the golf swing – and has derived a simple and effective system to teach it to golfers of all levels, from tour players to weekend warriors. This book includes a revolutionary instructional CD, featuring videos that illustrate exactly how to learn the tempo secrets of the tour pros, and a calibrated soundtrack that you can use while practicing at a driving range or in your living room. As an avid golfer and inventor, John Novosel studied film footage of the PGA greats, searching, along with countless others over the last century, for the key to what made certain golfers’ swings so effortless and powerful. Novosel made a startling discovery. Nearly every champion demonstrated identical time proportion in his or her swing, a common ratio between takeaway and downswing. Regardless of style or form, the winning tempo was always the same – Tour Tempo. In this breakthrough book, Novosel and Sports Illustrated senior writer John Garrity explain exactly how to achieve Tour Tempo. Through clear, step-by-step instruction, golfers are taught how to master two basic drills to synchronize their swings. Novosel’s technique has yielded rapid and tremendous improvement for players of every level –adding distance, automatically correcting typical swing problems, and noticeably shaving strokes off one’s game. TOUR TEMPO is a remarkable breakthrough – truly golf’s last secret finally revealed.

Download or read book Rhythm Metre and Tempo in Early Music written by Jan Biezen and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume Jan van Biezen brings together 12 articles he published between 1959 and 2007 on aspects of tempo and rhythm, especially in Byzantine and Latin hymns, hymns of the Reformation, 15th century songs in 'stroke notation' and in the organ works of Bach. His most important discovery was that the Byzantine kanons and stichera in principle had a binary meter. that fact had hitherto been obscured by an incorrect interpretation of the rhythm of the various neums by leading byzantinologists. The rediscovery of the original rhythm and meter of Byzantine music and Gregorian Chant is not only a matter of pure scholarship. The expressiveness, the sense and the beauty of these hymns is optimally revealed only when one returns to the original form of the melodies and to see this achieved in practice. The original articles in Dutch, German or English are reproduced here each one preceded by a summary in English. As a good teacher Jan van Biezen exemplifies his ideas widely in musical notation.

Download or read book Applying Karnatic Rhythmical Techniques to Western Music written by Rafael Reina and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most classical musicians, whether in orchestral or ensemble situations, will have to face a piece by composers such as Ligeti, Messiaen, Varèse or Xenakis, while improvisers face music influenced by Dave Holland, Steve Coleman, Aka Moon, Weather Report, Irakere or elements from the Balkans, India, Africa or Cuba. Rafael Reina argues that today’s music demands a new approach to rhythmical training, a training that will provide musicians with the necessary tools to face, with accuracy, more varied and complex rhythmical concepts, while keeping the emotional content. Reina uses the architecture of the South Indian Karnatic rhythmical system to enhance and radically change the teaching of rhythmical solfege at a higher education level and demonstrates how this learning can influence the creation and interpretation of complex contemporary classical and jazz music. The book is designed for classical and jazz performers as well as creators, be they composers or improvisers, and is a clear and complete guide that will enable future solfege teachers and students to use these techniques and their methodology to greatly improve their rhythmical skills. An accompanying website of audio examples helps to explain each technique. For examples of composed and improvised pieces by students who have studied this book, as well as concerts by highly acclaimed karnatic musicians, please copy this link to your browser: http://www.contemporary-music-through-non-western-techniques.com/pages/1587-video-recordings

Download or read book Language in Time written by Peter Auer and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors here promote the reintroduction of temporality into the description and analysis of spoken interaction. They argue that spoken words are, in fact, temporal objects and that unless linguists consider how they are delivered within the context of time, they will not capture the full meaning of situated language use. Their approach is rigorously empirical, with analyses of English, German, and Italian rhythm, all grounded in sequences of actual talk-in-interaction.
