Book Synopsis Dancing with a Kitchen Chair by : Sandra M. Rushing
Download or read book Dancing with a Kitchen Chair written by Sandra M. Rushing and published by Brandylane Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2007 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this vibrant collection of autobiographical essays, Sandra Rushing gracefully blends spirituality with old-fashioned honesty to communicate life s lessons and teach us what it means to be human. Set at the historic Poor House Farm in the tranquil Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, this is the story of the tragedy and mystery of growing up, the exhilaration of freedom, and the empty hunger of grief. Her Scottish father s fierce temper and unbounded generosity, her mother s Irish melancholia, and the power of the land merge and convey a passion felt on every page. Rushing s lyrical description and moving tales of strife, hope, and love craft the premise of the human journey that fighting and scrapping are part of it, whatever form they take, that life is a gift, and that all things have a purpose. -- Amazon. com.
Book Synopsis Last Dance at the Wrecker's Ball by : Robert Douglas
Download or read book Last Dance at the Wrecker's Ball written by Robert Douglas and published by Headline. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glasgow, 1971. The old way of life is under threat for the tight-knit community in Dalbeattie Street, Maryhill. The shadow of the wrecker's ball looms large over their homes, and they must face the choice of moving to a new estate or dispersing throughout the city. But powerful friendships refuse to be broken. These characters have gone through too much together to be destroyed by some measly planning scheme. They'll face this with the same inimitable Scottish humour and strength of spirit that have carried them through other tough times. Douglas' vivid portrait of Seventies Glasgow recreates, in glorious detail, a particular time and place, but at its heart are the universal themes of love, friendship and community.
Book Synopsis Teaching Dancing with Ideokinetic Principles by : Drid Williams
Download or read book Teaching Dancing with Ideokinetic Principles written by Drid Williams and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2011-07-27 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In examining ideokinesis and its application to the teaching and practice of dancing, Drid Williams introduces readers to the work of Dr. Lulu Sweigard (1895–1974), a pioneer of ideokinetic principles. Drawing on her experiences during private instructional sessions with Sweigard over a two-year span, Williams discusses methods using imagery for improving body posture and alignment for ease of movement. Central to Williams's own teaching methods is the application of Sweigard's principles and general anatomical instruction, including how she used visual imagery to help prevent bodily injuries and increasing body awareness relative to movement. Williams also emphasizes the differences between kinesthetic (internal) and mirror (external) imagery and shares reactions from professional dancers who were taught using ideokinesis. Williams's account of teaching and practicing ideokinesis is supplemented with essays by Sweigard, William James, and Jean-Georges Noverre on dancing, posture, and habits. Teaching Dancing with Ideokinetic Principles offers an important historical perspective and valuable insights from years of teaching experience into how ideokinesis can shape a larger philosophy of the dance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Rita Reinecker, life as the daughter of a well-known writer was far from a fantasy. Rita's father was Herbert Reinecker, a prolific German novelist, dramatist, and screenwriter who lived in his own world of plot and dialogue. She grew up feeling not pretty enough for her father and not good enough for her mother. Her life revolved around her emotionally unavailable father, who blew in and out of her life. Rita longed for a normal family life, and the incessant hunger for acceptance left the growing girl wanting much more. Always looking for signs that her papa loved her, she lived on an emotional rollercoaster of hope and disappointment. Wanting only to be loved, Rita hurled herself into many relationships. Meanwhile, life with her controlling mother bred low self-esteem and self-doubt, leaving her feeling inadequate, unloved, and unwanted. Now, in her memoir, she recalls her lifelong search for her father's love and explores how she came to terms with its effects on her life.

Download or read book Tell written by Frances Itani and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the WWI, the boys are finally coming home in this “gravely beautiful” sequel to the award-winning international bestseller, Deafening (The New York Times). In the small, insular community of Deseronto, Ontario, two women welcome their husbands home from the Great War. But their joy is mixed with trepidation as they struggle to rebuild their lives. Tress’s husband Kenan is young, shell-shocked, and disfigured. He confines himself indoors, venturing outside only at night to visit the frozen bay where he skated as a boy. Her aunt Maggie, an aspiring singer, has problems of her own. Falling out of love with one man, and drawn intimately close to another, she and her husband Am are navigating an inevitable, ever-widening gulf in their marriage. As the second decade of the twentieth century draws to a close, the tenuous futures of two couples become increasingly entwined. When startling revelations surface, the secrets of the past are unburdened—secrets that can either heal lives, or tear them apart forever in this “enthralling reminder of the toll the war—and all wars—take, not only on the soldiers but on the families who keep faith on the home front” (The Toronto Star).
