A practical; hands-on guide - for actors; directors; teachers and students - to Brechts history and practice of theatre. The Complete Brecht Toolkit examines; one by one; Brechts many; sometimes contradictory ideas about theatre - and how he put them into practice. Here are explanations of all the famous key terms; such as Alienation Effect; Epic Theatre and Gestus; as well as many others which go to make up what we think of as Brechtian theatre. There follows a section which looks at the practical application of these theories in Acting; Language; Music; Design and Direction. And finally; the book offers fifty exercises for student actors to investigate Brechts ideas for themselves; becoming thoroughly familiar with the tools in the Brecht toolkit.

Do you love Jazz?By MtBoyI dont want to discourage anyone but if you dont know what the meaning of "music theory" is; wait until you do before you buy this book. That said; Mr. Lagrimas is a multi instrumentalist and ukulele master who has managed to put the fundamentals of jazz ukulele into print. I am less than 1/3rd through this book and I know that I will not only be a better player but will have a much better understanding of jazz and music in general because of it. I have a good collection of ukulele workbooks and this one rates at the very top. If you like Jazz and you have a ukulele; you should have this book.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
