Becoming Dramaturg: Possibilities for an Ethical and Expanded Practice examines how performance development can be enhanced by the work of a dramaturg, how practitioners can prepare for the role working across diverse cultures and different kinds of performance events, how the dramaturg can facilitate ethical collaborations, and how dramaturgical thinking can inspire new ways of learning and knowing. Fiona Graham draws upon her international experience as a dramaturg, her own pedagogical insights, practitioner interviews, teaching examples and performance case studies to examine the ‘what’, ‘why’ and ‘how’ of dramaturgical development. A key concept is that the work of a dramaturg is always in a state of becoming and never settled or defined by a single performance development process. Graham’s manifesto for dramaturgs aims to advance the role by presenting ethical and expanded provocations for constructive, transparent, reflexive and radically inclusive ways of working.

The Portuguese visual artist Paula Rego has inspired this trilogy of plays. Her paintings CrivellI's Garden, The Prey and Breaking China became the catalyst for writing by theatre maker Fiona Graham. Commissioned by Theatre Centre and Komedia, these three new plays were developed for specific audiences through a series of artist/audience residencies and collaborations. These works have toured Britain and been re-staged in Portugal and Singapore. Crivellis's Garden was created for a 16+ audience and explores rites of passage as two young women decide whether they should stay or leave their fishing village to go to university in Portugal. Between Friends is for 7 -11 year olds and examines the politics of friendship between three young people when they are shipwrecked and abandoned in a lighthouse. Breaking China is for 4-8 year olds and shows the importance of creative play and storytelling when making sense of change and adversity.

Text in English, French & German. This book is a highlight for all fans of tattoo, and Japan as well! Photographer Martin Hladik attended the Japanese tattoo master Horikazu with his camera for years, and he presents now the lifework of a remarkable tattoo artist in spectacular images. With this book, comprising scant 500 pages with more than 460 pictures you are diving into the still hidden world of traditional Japanese tattooing. Interviews with the late master (2011) and his successor Horikazuwaka provide virtually intimate insights into the art of tattooing in Asakusa, and give a glance of the protagonists of a recognised dynasty of tattoo artists. Functioning and techniques of this handicraft are shown in-depth. Furthermore you will experience the fascinating aesthetics, and the complex conception of motifs in traditional Japanese tattoos displayed in gorgeous photographs, from Koi to Kabuki, from Buddha to Benzaiten. Anyone of the tattoos reproduced is one of a kind, it was exclusively created for the wearer, and made by hand. More highlights come with pictures of the personal, and familial life of the master. You may visit his studio, and watch him tattoo his clients. The present selection of not previously published designs is a true rarity! Downright sensational, and unique up-to-date is a series of full-page pictures of Horikazu's clients, presenting their full body tattoos openly and with self-confidence. Total works of art of an ingenious artist, stung into the skin, lasting an eternity. HORIKAZU is an iconographical benchmark, and contains a fully comprehensive account of traditional Japanese tattooing. The illustrious Sanja festival in Asakusa is displayed in stirring images from past and presence. Finally photographs from Horikazu's funeral reveal another aspect of Japanese tradition, whether closest friends pay their last respects to the master. Text input from qualified authors provides access to the secretive world of images of Japanese tattoo art. Tattooists, tattoo fans and any art lover will certainly be thrilled by this unrivalled illustrated book.

How many working days are lost every year to depression, anxiety or obesity-related health issues? How many more to the results of road rage, extreme anger, addictions...? On another theme, how many teaching hours are wasted dealing with bad behaviour in the classroom and playground bullying? An exciting new add-on to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy could mean massive time and cost savings for many behavioural problems, just by pressing a remote control button! No, it's not science fiction. Pause Button Therapy is possibly the first 'tactile' intervention to be introduced into talking therapies. It's a user-friendly technique, already proven in British schools and with adult problems such as addiction, anger management and weight loss within Gastric Mind Band therapy. This book has been written by British therapists Martin and Marion Shirran to explain their innovative Pause Button Therapy method, and includes a foreword from renowned psychology expert Professor Philip Zimbardo. Millions of us make rushed or ill-thought-out decisions every day, only to have pangs of regret just moments later. Using the concept of pressing the Pause, Fast Forward and Rewind buttons of a 'virtual' remote control device, you can learn not only to stop and think, but also visualise, understand and even feel the results of your snap decisions. With more thinking time, you can see the positive and negative consequences of your actions, allowing you to make more informed choices on a daily basis.

Japanese white-collar workers have been characterised by their intense loyalty and life-long commitment to their companies. This book is based on very extensive ethnographic research inside a Japanese insurance company during the period when the company was going through a major crisis which ended in the company's bankruptcy and collapse. It examines the attitudes of Japanese employees towards their work, their company and related issues at a time when the established order and established attitudes were under threat. The wide range and detail of the reporting of workers' attitudes, often in their own words, sustained over a considerable timescale, makes this study a particularly valuable resource.

Graham explores the attitudes of Japanese employees towards their work, their company and on related issues. Based on extensive original research inside a Japanese insurance company (C-Life), which subsequently went bankrupt, the book shows that attitudes towards lifetime employment, company loyalty and the other characteristics of Japanese working life, which are often portrayed in stereotype form in the West, are in fact more complicated than is at first apparent.
