"This anthology brings together key plays from the Crooked Mirror, a leading Silver Age Russian cabaret, with short biographies of their authors and robust commentary and annotations to trace the theater's artistic and ideological evolution"--

In the 21st century, actors face radical changes in plays and performance styles, as they move from stage to screen and grapple with new technologies that present their art to ever-expanding audiences. Active Analysis offers the flexibility of mind, body, and spirit now urgently needed in acting. Dynamic Acting through Active Analysis brings to light this timely legacy, born during the worst era of Soviet repression and hidden for decades from public view. Part I unfolds like a mystery novel through letters, memoirs, and transcripts of Konstantin Stanislavsky's last classes. Far from the authoritarian director of his youth, he reveals himself as a generous mentor, who empowers actors with a brand new collaborative approach to rehearsals. His assistant, Maria Knebel, first bears witness to his forward-looking ideas and then builds the bridge to new plays in new styles through her directing and influential teaching. Part II follows a 21st century company of diverse actors as they experience the joy of applying Active Analysis to their own creative and professional work.

Tilla Durieux (1880-1971) war gefeierter Theater- und Filmstar, moderne Frau der 1920er-Jahre, politisch engagierte Zeitgenossin und galt als die am meisten porträtierte Frau ihrer Epoche. Ihre Rollen waren ebenso vielfältig wie auch die Liste der Künstler*innen, denen sie Modell saß: unter ihnen Auguste Renoir, Max Slevogt, Lovis Corinth, Franz von Stuck, Charley Toorop, Ernst Barlach, August Gaul, Mary Duras, Emil Orlik, Sasha Stone, Oskar Kokoschka, Olaf Gulbransson, Max Oppenheimer oder die Fotografinnen Frieda Riess und Lotte Jacobi.In einer umfassend angelegten Schau, und dem begleitend dazu erscheinenden Ausstellungskatalog mit wissenschaftlichen Beiträgen von Kuratorin Daniela Gregori, Hannah Reisinger, Aline Marion Steinwender, sowie Texten von Julia Wallner und Stephan Dörschel, geht das Leopold Museum erstmals der Faszination, die Tilla Durieux bereits auf ihre Zeitgenoss*innen auslöste, auf den Grund und folgt anhand von Bildnissen quer durch alle Medien den Spuren dieser schillernden Persönlichkeit. Durch kaum ausgestelltes Archivmaterial und Leihgaben aus internationalen wie nationalen Museen und Privatsammlungen wird Durieux' Karriere, ihr soziales und künstlerisches Umfeld sowie ihr von politischen Umbrüchen geprägtes, knapp ein Jahrhundert umspannendes Leben in der Ausstellung und im Katalog beleuchtet.Text: Stephan Dörschel, Daniela Gregori, Hannah Reisinger, Aline Marion Steinwender, Julia Wallner, Hans-Peter Wipplinger

While there are many books that catalog Hollywood-from the classic to the profane, gritty to salacious-few tell the tale of how entertainment's biggest names became the biggest names. Right for the Role shares the story straight from an insider who's been central to that process for decades. Four-time Emmy-award-winning casting director John Frank Levey hasn't just witnessed some of the world's greatest acting talents make it in Hollywood; in many cases, he's had a major hand in it.As the casting director for numerous iconic TV series, including ER, The West Wing and Shameless, Levey saw firsthand that household names like George Clooney, Anthony Edwards and Allison Janney had "it"-and then watched their "it" propel them into the stratosphere.In Right for the Role, Levey manages to tell a story of life among the glitterati while never losing his exuberance for being a part of the process. Through his colorful tales of meeting incredible talent early in their careers-including Josh Gad, Lucy Liu and a just-out-of-Julliard Jessica Chastain-Levey documents his transformation from a novice casting director to one of the greats in the field. Beyond teaching readers how to spot what it takes to make it in Hollywood, how casting has changed since the 1980s (when telephones had cords!) or how to live in a world of glamour and gusto, Levey's stories also show how to play a central role in a show's success without losing a sense of wonder. For any aspiring casting directors, actors or students of Hollywood history, Right for the Role is a must-read.
