Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Nackte, nur mit Perlen und Federn behangene Mädchen, sportlich gedrillte Girl-Trupps und exotisch anmutende Schwarze Tänzerinnen wie Josephine Baker im Bananenrock: Die 1920er Jahre boten dem Publikum in den Revue-Theatern Shows der Extreme, die gerade im ehemals prüden Berlin für Furore sorgten. 'Tanz auf dem Vulkan' ist ein Sinnbild der Zeit.Die Historikerin Julia Preißer untersucht jene Körperbilder, mit denen Journalisten und Theatermacher die Tänzerinnen und Schauspielerinnen charakterisierten. Hinter der ''Wilden' Jazz-Tänzerin', dem optimistischen, sportlichen 'Girl', der Frau als Lustobjekt, der unnahbaren mystischen 'Exotin', und der emanzipativen 'neuen Frau' steckt mehr als man auf den ersten Blick sieht.Dutzende Zeitungsartikel, alte Programmhefte, Fotografien, Reklametafeln und populäre Bücher der 1920er Jahre eröffnen interessante Einblicke in eine bis heute faszinierende Epoche.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Kunst und Realität: Das ist der Entwurf einer besseren Weltordnung, die Wagner und Cage um einhundert Jahre zeitversetzt - mit verblüffenden Parallelen - skizzieren; das ist die Unmoral seiner - und nicht nur seiner - Epoche, die Karl Kraus bekämpft mit den Pariser Operetten Offenbachs, ihrerseits entstanden in einem Operettenstaat (mit beunruhigenden Entsprechungen zu unserer Gegenwart); das sind die radikalen Ideen des genialen Dilettanten Jean Cocteau, etwa Komponisten sollten sich vom Leben auf der Straße inspirieren lassen und die Tonkunst so unmetaphysisch alltäglich werden wie Brot und Stuhl. 64 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Music Mind Experience' is all about how we can transform our playing and listening into convincing performances and satisfying meditations every time. No neuroscience here: this book is thoroughly practical, intuitive, chock-full of simple practices and deep, common-sense insights.'A fantastic resource. Karl's purpose is to reach beyond all intellectual concepts and feel the magic of intuitive playing and listening that we are all born with. Very easy to read and follow' says the world-renown keyboardist John Medeski. The Italian composer Luciano Troja adds: 'Karl's book is miraculous because it speaks in a simple but profound way to musicians and listeners of any background. It opens worlds' 'The Music Mind Experience' speaks for all kinds of music and styles, because it addresses the elements common to all the music in the world. The great guitarist John Scofield comments: 'Karl's book reminds me of what I've learned from conversations with the great musicians I've known. These masters spoke the truth about getting in the 'flow' and the best mental attitude while playing. I've found that these techniques are universal.' In this book we emphasize the extraordinary power of our intuitive minds. The masters' 'techniques' that John Scofield is referring to are all explored here in surprisingly simple practices and exercises. We learn to integrate them into our daily routines of musical practice and listening with astounding results: our satisfaction and confidence is growing strong and steadily. Pianist/composer Carla Bley refers not just to this book only, but to Karl Berger's life-long work at the now world-renowned Creative Music Studio when she says: 'Karl has made it ok for hoards of musicians to explore their particular and personal identities without fear of censure'. The German composer Markus Stockhausen says: 'Karl shows us that we all have a hidden capacity of unexplored, infinite creative potential'. And he concludes: 'Listening is the key to all the music mind.'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'During her creative career, Lauren Newton has explored multiple musical dimensions with a strong focus on improvisation, concomitantly searching out and developing myriad vocal techniques. In Vocal Adventures she takes the reader on a journey into her experience that is at once an introduction to deep listening, a series of master classes on voice (from consciousness of breath to the mysteries of multiphonics), and an account of both the social and spiritual dimensions that are engaged in a complete artistic practice. Remarkably, she also does this in a way that is inviting, lucid and eminently practical.'Stuart Broomer, author of Time and Anthony Braxton 'Vocal Adventures by the grand master of improvising with the voice is finally here! The significance of Lauren Newton's work as an artist, educator and author cannot be overstated: She is one of the creators and trailblazers of the art that moves in sound, space, spirit and song. Well worth the wait, this book offers everything and more to all those interested in vocal experimenting and exploring could wish for.' Susanne Abbuehl, singer, composer, educator'These Vocal Adventures chart a decades-long exploration of soundscapes - ones produced by the outside world but most prominently those created through free improvisation in music. The expedition into this realm of musical experience and expression has taken the author across oceans and continents, with diverse musical encounters providing invaluable sources of inspiration and a wealth of learning and teaching opportunities while enriching her own ideas and approaches along the way. This book aspires to guide others (not only singers) interested in exploring the many facets of free musical improvisation in terms of technique, practice and (solo and group) performance as well as to offer up her own reflections on its essence, its affinity to the human imagination and the multitude of soundscapes it is capable of evoking.' Susan Nurmi, literary scholar, educator, translator.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sounding Fragilities enacts a polyphony of writing on contemporary composition, music and performing arts in relation to music theatre. Co-edited by a theatre and performance scholar and by a composer and artistic researcher, this anthology considers its field of investigation through the lens of positionalities. Irene Lehmann and Pia Palme invite readers into intimate encounters with an artist's practice, feminist and queer perspectives, and personal explorations into aspects of musicology, theatre studies, technology and ecology. By presenting female\* composers who write with/through/about their own practice, Sounding Fragilities is a remarkable contribution to an interdisciplinary debate around the agency of artistic research. With this synthesis, the editors evaluate how moving beyond the binary of art and science reveals the rich yet fragile territories of artistic knowledge-production and literacy in music theatre.Sounding Fragilities. An Anthology brings together essays, discussions and interventions on contemporary music, dance and music theatre to offer a polyphony of new approaches to listening, watching, composing and performing.Artistic and academic researchers present reflections and insights into the fragilities of artistic materials, collaborations and the communities that build around live performances. Challenging the idea of isolated composers, choreographers, audience members and academic researchers, they stress instead the interconnectedness of these positions as indispensable elements of thriving performance and research. This feature of all live performance is envisaged by several of the book's contributors as linked to political, democratic thought and ecological or feminist thinking.Sounding out the relationality, brittleness, fragility, transitoriness, and beauty of live performance, this anthology stresses the urgency of coming together and interacting as a foundation for human and political relations; an urgency intensified by the current overlapping crises in politics, health and ecology.
