Working with Actors : Meisner Technique for Directors and Actors
Working with Actors provides the key to unlocking the honest, dynamic performance every actor has within them.It offers a well-articulated formulation of the Meisner Technique easy for directors and actors to use within a working context. Through setting out an accessible training programme for practitioners working across stage and screen, this book establishes a clear-cut route to building a three-dimensional character in an organic, non-intellectual fashion, based squarely on the character’s objectives. Few books in this field venture out of the training studio, while in this book - alongside offering an intense and concentrated Meisner training programme - the focus is more on the ‘pay-off’: the collaborative act of developing the role and how that plays out in rehearsal and performance. Beyond that, the books uniquely offers:> a new modality for script reading, analysis and rehearsal through which the character is born in relation to other characters;> a prioritisation of the key skills for coming alive in the moment – listening and putting one’s attention wholly on the other character/actor;> a historical perspective on how Meisner’s methods have evolved and why they provide the basis of truthful acting;> for directors, a format for analysis of the complete work based on Stanislavskian principles; > for actors, complementary methods, such as Uta Hagen’s ‘endowment’, to enhance the ‘reality of doing’

Practical Religion
KEY QUOTES"The love of the bible will show itself in a believer's readiness to bear evil as well as to do good. It will make him patient under provocation, forgiving when injured, meek when unjustly attacked, quiet when slandered. It will make him hear much, put up with much and look over much, submit often and deny himself often, all for the sake of peace.""The early Christians made it a part of their religion to look for his return. They looked backward to the cross and the atonement for sin, and rejoiced in Christ crucified. They looked upward to Christ at the right hand of God, and rejoiced in Christ interceding. They looked forward to the promised return of their Master, and rejoiced in the thought that they would see him again. And we ought to do the same""The incorruptible things are all within the narrow gate. The peace of God which passed all understanding - the bright hope of good things to come - the sense of the Spirit dwelling in us - the consciousness that we are forgiven, safe, insured, provided for in time and eternity, whatever may happen - these are true gold, and lasting riches.""Death is a solemn event for everyone. It is the winding up of all earthly plans & expectations. It is a separation from all we have loved and lived with. It is often accompanied by much bodily pain and distress. It opens the door to judgement and eternity - to heaven or to hell. It is an event after which there is no change, or space for repentance""... we live in a day of weak and feeble statements. The danger of the state of nature is feebly exposed. The privileges of the state of grace are feebly set forth. Hesitating souls are not encouraged. Disciples are not established and confirmed. The man out of Christ is not rightly alarmed. The man in Christ is not rightly built up. The one sleeps on, and seldom has his conscience pricked. The other creeps and crawls all his days and never thoroughly understands the riches of his inheritance.""But to have religion enough to be saved, and yet not go into extremes, -- to be sufficiently good, and yet not be peculiar, -- to have a quiet, easy-going, moderate kind of Christianity, and go comfortably to heaven after all, -- this is the world's favorite idea. There is a third class, a safe middle class, the world fancies, and in this middle class the majority of men persuade themselves they will be found."Table of Contents1. Self-Inquiry2. Self-Exertion3.

What distinguishes a religion from a substitute religion?
A religion is typically characterized by a belief in a higher power or powers, a set of sacred texts or teachings, and a system of rituals and practices. It often provides a framework for understanding the meaning and purpose of life, as well as guidelines for moral behavior. A substitute religion, on the other hand, may lack some or all of these elements, but still fulfills a similar role in providing meaning, community, and a sense of purpose for its followers. Substitute religions may include belief systems, ideologies, or even activities such as sports or political movements that fulfill some of the same functions as traditional religions.
-
Is substitute religion the same as religion replacement?
No, substitute religion and religion replacement are not the same. Substitute religion refers to alternative belief systems or practices that individuals adopt in addition to their traditional religion, while religion replacement involves completely abandoning one's original religion in favor of a new belief system. Substitute religion allows individuals to incorporate elements of different faiths into their lives, whereas religion replacement involves a complete shift in religious identity.

What is the difference between religion and substitute religion?
Religion refers to a formal system of beliefs, practices, and rituals centered around a higher power or spiritual force, often involving organized institutions and communities. Substitute religion, on the other hand, refers to non-traditional belief systems or practices that serve as a replacement for traditional religion. Substitute religions may include alternative spiritual practices, self-help movements, or other forms of belief and community that fulfill similar roles to traditional religion for their followers. While religion is often associated with established traditions and institutions, substitute religion may be more individualistic and diverse in its manifestations.

Roman Religion
Examining sites that are familiar to many modern tourists, Valerie Warrior avoids imposing a modern perspective on the topic by using the testimony of the ancient Romans to describe traditional Roman religion.The ancient testimony recreates the social and historical contexts in which Roman religion was practised.It shows, for example, how, when confronted with a foreign cult, official traditional religion accepted the new cult with suitable modifications.Basic difficulties, however, arose with regard to the monotheism of the Jews and Christianity.Carefully integrated with the text are visual representations of divination, prayer, and sacrifice as depicted on monuments, coins, and inscriptions from public buildings and homes throughout the Roman world.Also included are epitaphs and humble votive offerings that illustrate the piety of individuals, and that reveal the prevalence of magic and the occult in the spiritual lives of the ancient Romans.

Is Buddhism a religion or a critique of religion?
Buddhism can be seen as both a religion and a critique of religion. It is considered a religion because it involves beliefs, practices, and rituals centered around the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha. However, Buddhism also critiques traditional religious concepts such as the existence of a creator god and the idea of a permanent self. It emphasizes personal spiritual development, mindfulness, and the pursuit of enlightenment through self-awareness and compassion, which can be seen as a critique of certain aspects of organized religion.
