Written by a highly influential post-Stanislavskian practitioner, this book offers an accessible and contemporary interpretation of The Method, setting out techniques and exercises to train and develop actors today. Going back to the roots of Method Acting and the work of Lee Strasberg and Stanislavski, and using Barrouk's own unique practice as a lens through which to view it, The Method here is refreshed as something nuanced, contemporary, safe and practical that will benefit all actors - even those most skeptical of it.Through making a case for the relevance of Method Acting to our modern times and preserving its essence while updating its notions, the book covers the full range of the acting process, including character analysis questions, active analysis, actions, individual and group exploration, identifying actions, and developing/creating a scene in rehearsal. Practical exercises and activities are woven throughout the text, offering a modern framework in which to consider this practice. The benefits of looking at Stanislavski through both a contemporary and a different cultural lens is invaluable for students and actors alike, and they will appreciate the playful, lively and provocative approach in contrast to the sacred tone of other books on the same topic.

Napoléon est entré dans l'histoire du monde arabe en 1798, avec la campagne d'Égypte. Les Français en ont beaucoup parlé, mais qu'en ont dit les témoins arabes?? Pour la première fois, un historien égyptien, Ahmed Youssef, s'intéresse à cette question. Il relit l'aventure orientale de Napoléon en exhumant des sources de première main : les écrits d'Abdel Rahman Al-Gabarti, qui a côtoyé Bonaparte, Kléber et Menou?; ceux, très fameux, du chroniqueur chrétien libanais Nicolas Turc, qui revient sur la géniale fuite de Bonaparte au nez et à la barbe de la flotte britannique qui faisait le blocus des côtes. Au-delà de la célèbre campagne, Ahmed Youssef s'intéresse à la place de Napoléon dans la culture arabe et musulmane, l'histoire bien sûr, mais aussi la littérature, la poésie, le cinéma et même les séries télévisées. Il en tire une analyse aussi passionnante que paradoxale. En fondant l'Institut d'Égypte et en posant les bases d'une administration, Napoléon a laissé une trace indélébile. Une enquête inédite et surprenante, qui soumet un mythe français à l'épreuve de sa postérité mondiale.
Our most brilliant, fearless and creative women directors open the door on their craft, discussing their work in the theatre in intimate and illuminating detail. Through a series of fascinating conversations with many of the leading talents working on British stages, Running the Room explores what it takes to succeed in the field, and how each director approaches the work in their own way. Each interview focuses on a particular facet of the director's practice, examining not just the 'how' how to talk to actors, how to create the right rehearsal environment, how to handle cuts and previews, how to work with a living playwright but also the 'why': why certain approaches work better than others, why there's no 'right' way to direct a play, and why work in theatre anyway? As this passionate, inspiring book shows, there are myriad ways to be a theatre director. For aspiring or current directors, it will give you the confidence to be uniquely yourself, develop your own approach, and create the work you want to make. For creatives in other disciplines, it will provide insight into directors' processes, along with examples of successful collaboration. And for anyone who loves theatre, this is an unparalleled first-hand account of how brilliant theatre is made direct from those making it.
