"WHOOSH is a humorous and heart-rendering three-act play. It deals with the elderly living in senior retirement communities. It expresses their concerns for their future well-being, both physical and cognitive, as well as their relative isolation from the rest of society at large. These issues are the subject of conversation over dinner. LeClaire's frank observations on the human condition are by turns, extremely funny and often troubling as he celebrates life in a senior living retirement community." ~Dr. Alice P. Naylor

Så smil dog! er en livsbekræftende og åbenhjertig fortælling om en af vores mest elskede og originale kunstnere.Skuespilleren, komikeren og cirkusdirektøren Søren Østergaard åbner døren til en fortælling om en gøgler, en drømmer og et viljestærkt menneske, der både har fået sit eget cirkus, et tivoli, kunst på sine vægge, et hus i Italien og et i Nordsjælland, verdens eneste cirkusvogn med varme i badeværelsesgulvet, en hund, der hedder Bob, og en hustru – Lisbet Lundquist – der gør ham lykkelig hver dag.Som cirkusdirektør har Østergaard med dødsforagt entreret med personligheder som Smadremanden, Målermanden, Bager-Jørgen og Marianne, kort sagt en perlerække af store egoer – kunstneriske legender, der i denne bog løfter sløret for, hvordan de oplever livet i cirkus, og ikke mindst hvordan de ser på cirkusdirektøren.Bogen er også en fortælling om livets op- og nedture, om forældrenes skilsmisse og en far, der ikke havde meget til overs for sønnens drøm om at blive skuespiller. Søren fortæller ligeledes om en sygdom, der er blevet en følgesvend og et vilkår, han må leve med.På trods af den store anerkendelse, en fornem karriere med både sjove og seriøse roller, anmelderros og år efter år et fyldt cirkustelt, er Søren Østergaard stadig et beskedent menneske, der kan tvivle på, om det, han laver, nu også er godt nok. Som han siger, når han inviteres på middage på parnasset: ”Hvad ser de i mig?”Lisbet Lundquist deltager med skønne anekdoter og kærlige lovprisninger. Fotografen Mingo har taget bogens stemningsmættede billeder.

This book is the first comprehensive study of the reception of Tennessee Williams in China, from rejection and/or misgivings to cautious curiosity and to full-throated acceptance, in the context of profound changes in China's socioeconomic and cultural life and mores since the end of the Cultural Revolution. It fills a conspicuous gap in scholarship in the reception of one of the greatest American playwrights and joins book-length studies of Chinese reception of Shakespeare, Ibsen, O'Neill, Brecht, and other important Western playwrights whose works have been eagerly embraced and appropriated and have had catalytic impact on modern Chinese cultural life.

El presente libro se centra en la creatividad artística, más concretamente, en el proceso de creación que lleva a cabo el actor/actriz desde su entrenamiento hasta la representación. El estudio conjuga la práctica actoral con el pensamiento científico, planteando la comprensión del trabajo interpretativo desde los avances que nos proporcionan las neurociencias y las ciencias cognitivas. A lo largo del texto se va desgranando qué nos aportan los descubrimientos actuales desde el ámbito neurocientífico y cómo pueden provocar una relectura innovadora respecto a los procesos y mecanismos que el actor/actriz pone en funcionamiento a la hora de interpretar.

Cette pièce raconte l'histoire d'une famille, où la mère (Philaminte), la belle-s¿ur de cette dernière (Bélise) et une de ses deux filles (Armande) sont sous l'emprise d'un faux savant (Trissotin), qui les subjugue de ses poèmes et savoirs pédants mais s'intéresse plus à l'argent de la famille qu'à l'érudition des trois femmes. Cette situation désole le reste de la famille, à savoir le mari de Philaminte (Chrysale), le frère de ce dernier (Ariste) et la cadette des filles (Henriette) ; mais ces derniers ne s'opposent pas frontalement aux chimères des autres femmes de la famille.Pendant longtemps, Clitandre a courtisé Armande, s¿ur d'Henriette, mais cette dernière s'est toujours refusée à lui, lui préférant les beaux feux de la philosophie . Clitandre est alors devenu amoureux de Henriette, et tous deux veulent se marier.Dans ce but, ils vont devoir obtenir le soutien de la famille. Chrysale et Ariste sont favorables au mariage. Mais le reste de la famille, c'est-à-dire les trois femmes savantes , s'y opposent. Philaminte veut qu'Henriette épouse Trissotin, pour asseoir son alliance avec la science et la philosophie. Cette volonté est appuyée par Bélise et Armande. Cette dernière exprime une certaine jalousie que sa s¿ur convole avec son ancien soupirant.Chrysale ne veut pas s'opposer fermement aux volontés de son épouse, et il semble que le mariage d'Henriette et Clitandre soit compromis, à l'avantage de Trissotin. Les deux amants tentent alors de s'opposer au philosophe mais aucun ne réussit, jusqu'à ce qu'Ariste parvienne à déjouer la duplicité de Trissotin ; Henriette peut alors se marier avec Clitandre.
