The notion of sacred has long informed the work of British dramatists such as Harold Pinter and Tom Stoppard; and Ralph Yarrowrsquo;s Sacred Theatre is the first book to examine the role of the sacred in the practice; process and performance of drama. The volume considers the definition of the terms lsquo;sacredrsquo; and theatre and suggests that the joining of the two is a unique experience for writer; performer and viewer. It examines how such an ambiguous term is defined and how sacred can be represented and expressed through performance. These ideas form an animated dialogue and delve into the heart of playwrightsrsquo; and audiencesrsquo; ongoing relationship with all things spiritual. Yarrow draws upon elements of sociology; anthropology and critical theory as well as analytical readings of an array of plays; texts and performances; allowing room for personal experiences of what is sacred and examination of how theatre interacts with the otherworldly. The book investigates structural understandings and functions of the sacred in theatre; offering stimulation for discussion within performance and theatre teaching. Sacred Theatre provides an engaging multi-disciplinary approach to the sacred in theatre and performance; making it essential for anyone intrigued by the intersection of drama and consciousness.

Please read and get rid of the "claw"; it makes women look like they have given up.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Unfortunately disappointing.By OceanDreamerFrom buns to braids to headbanded hairstyles; learn how to achieve you next look in five steps or less! Youll also find technique for short; medium and long hair; as well as straight and curly. And dont forget hair for that special night out! Each hairstyle is given a level of difficulty rating; tools needed; written instructions as well as full color step by step photos. So grab a brush and start styling!As a hairstylist; Im always looking for new ways to reinvent mine or others looks. I was hoping this book would help me do so. Unfortunately Id realistically use very few of these ideas. While it may be a helpful resource for the person who has absolutely no knowledge of hairstyling In general; for me it was just kind of blah. I felt some hairstyles didnt bear instructions; nor the attention to even be in the book. They looked sloppy and juvenile considering the targeted audience. The idea of few instructions is nice; but depending on the skill level; it feels like in a lot of the styles some instruction is left out altogether. Overall; I think there are a few styles I can use; the other dated and otherwise uninspiring ones I can do without. If I were to recommend this book I would say Id give it to a young girl (not young woman like the book implies) one who likes to try out new ideas on her self or other young friends.I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. This was a great book visually helpful and full of ideasBy RavenB28Yall; are any of you super into hair and makeup? Yeah no; me either. Im gonna be honest and tell you that I can rock a bun and sweat pants and call it good. But; I have daughters; gasp! Yup and one is just like me and the other; not so much. She is constantly watching YouTube videos and trying to figure out how to do new styles. Essentially I decided to request this book to review from Bloggingforbooks.com for her. It would be a win; win she could read it do her hair and the world would be at peace again and maybe I could get my ipad back. Well I was enthralled. I opened the book and learned quite a few things that I hadnt ever seen before. Im all for easy and fast way to get ready and this book made some beautiful hair styles look fast and easy. So of course I had to try them out because weve done a few hair styles in our home that were advertised as "fast and easy" but the phrase false advertising doesnt even begin to cover it. We were able to mark pages that we wanted to go back to and flip through in the morning before school to get creative ideas. This book is so great and I love the example pictures.Negatives: Some of the hairstyles dont show the front of the hair. That is so difficult for me because I have a hard time figuring out how the front is suppose to look. I know that could sound really silly to some people but Im a visual learner and so this isnt helpful to not see the front. Often times I will just ignore or skip the hairstyle all together if it doesnt have a picture of the front of the hair. :/Positives: I personally have curly hair. Its not the easiest to find cute curly hairstyles and this book did focus on curly hair. Having its own section made it easy to bookmark so that I can easily go to that section. I do straighten my hair on occasion so it was nice to see all of the straight hairstyles as well; it was a good balance.Great table book as well. Im grateful to bloggingforbooks.com for being able to receive this book for my honest review.
