The Moment Of Movement: Dance Improvisation
Dance improvisation, the intriguing phenomenon of the creative process alive in the moving body, exists powerfully, sublimely - lending insight, solving problems, allowing moments of transcendence, diversion, and delight. Flourishing especially since the postmodern movement of the 1960s, it has come into its own in the performing arts. While there are many books containing ideas for developing improvisations, few have tackled the difficult questions: \u201cWhat is dance improvisation?\u201d \u201cHow does it work?\u201d or \u201cWhat is its body of knowledge?\u201dThe Moment of Movement goes beyond lists of improvisations and into the heart of improvising. As in their previous book, The Intimate Act of Choreography, the authors pursue both the philosophical and the practical. They begin by examining the creative process as it applies to movement and especially the kinesthetic way in which the body knows and uses movement. They answer the often unstated and pertinent questions of the

Temperance Movement: Temperance Movement
Visst längtar vi alla efter Riktig Rock´n Roll emellanåt? Det finns ett sug efter band som på ett trovärdigt sätt spelar Classic Rock i samma anda som The Faces, Stones, The Band eller Little Feat. Framgångarna för Rival Sons är ett exempel på det och att höra The Temperance Movements låtar pekar åt det hållet fast mer moget och ännu mer musikaliskt. Samtidigt finns det i musiken nästan samma andliga känsla som Israel Nash Gripka och Deadman skämt bort oss med mixat med boogien och svänget från klassband som AC/DC och Black Crowes. The Temperence Movement har helt enkelt soul! Vinyl.

Temperance Movement: Temperance Movement 2013
Digipack.Nåväl, om nu själen skulle ha en vikt så vet jag att själen hos brittiska The Temperance Movement är betydligt tyngre än så. Där kan vi snacka soul, främst manifesterat i sångaren Phil Campbells röst. Men det är inget revolutionerande över det här bandet. Gammal hederlig bluesrock som tidigare byggts upp, förvaltats och förfinats av band som Rolling Stones, Free ochFaces, och uppblandat med liten dos americana. Inget nytt under solen alltså. Om det nu inte vore för att det faktiskt är så förbannat bra. Från det inledande riffet i "Only Friend" till avslutande hymnen "Serenity". Sången har jag redan nämnt. Lägg därtill gitarristerna Luke Potashnick och Paul Sayers fantastiska samspel där ingen går i vägen för den andre och de spelar knappt någonsin samma grej. Och så vilar allt på en bastant grund i form av basisten Nick Fyffe (ex-Jamiroquai) och trummisen Damon Wilson (Ray Davies, The Waterboys och Feeder).

The Movement
'Original, clever, insightful and packs a hell of a feminist punch. I loved it' Joanne Harris 'A revelation and a revolution' Kasim Ali With words come power. But do you speak out or shut up? Everywhere Sara Javed goes - online or outside - everyone is shouting about something. Couldn't they all just shut up? One day she takes her own advice. At first people don't understand her silence and are politely confused at best. But the last thing Sara could anticipate is becoming the figurehead of a global movement that splits society in two. The Silent Movement sparks outrage in its opposers. Global structures start to shift. And the lives of those closest to Sara - as well as strangers inspired by her act - begin to unravel. It's time for the world to reconsider what it means to have a voice. A sharply observed novel, charged with compassion and dark wit, that will spark important conversations about how we live, relate and communicate now. #SILENCEISPOWER --- READERS ARE CAPTIVATED BY THE
