 Ostrannenie: On 'strangeness' and the Moving Image: The History, Reception, and Relevance of a Concept By Annie van den Oever 2010 | 278 Pages | ISBN: 9089640797 | PDF | 4 MB Coined by the Russian formalist Victor Shklovsky in 1917, ostrannenie, or "making it strange", has become one of the central concepts of modern artistic practice, ranging over movements that include Dada, postmodernism, epic theater, and science fiction, as well as our response to the arts. Ostrannenie has come to resonate deeply in film studies, where it entered into dialogue with the Brechtian concept of Verfremdung, the Freudian concept of the uncanny, and Derrida's concept of différance.Striking, provocative, and incisive, the essays of the distinguished film scholars in this volume reveal the range and depth of a concept thatfor nearly a centuryhas been changing the trajectory of theoretical inquiry.

Here is support and nourishment. Here is a mother and father lending a hand, but letting you find your own way. Here is guidance which empowers your freedom (or way-seeking mind), rather than pinning you down to directions and techniques. Here is teaching which encourages you to touch and know your true heart and to express yourself fully, teaching which is not teaching from outside, but a voice arising in your own bein  No Acting Please: A Revolutionary Approach to Acting and Living By Eric Morris, Joan Hotchkis, Jack Nicholson 1995 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 096297093X | EPUB | 2 MB A collection of 125 acting exercises that are based on journal excerpts and dialogues from Mr. Morris' classes. These exercises teach the actor to systematically eliminate his or her instrumental obstacles -- tensions, fears, inhibitions -- and explore the "being" state, where the actor does no more and no less than what he or she feels. As the title indicates, many of the techniques herein address the actor's need to avoid falling into the traps of concept and presentational acting. There is also a complete chapter on sense memory -- what it is, and how to practice it and apply it as an acting tool. Co-authored by Joan Hotchkis, and with a Foreword by Jack Nicholson. |
