Contemporary Directors’ Cinema
Contemporary Directors’ Cinema refreshes the argument about the role of the director through the practice of evaluative criticism.The book identifies what makes nine recent films successful achievements by their directors and collaborators.Each chapter gives some context for the director’s work, but the central argument focuses on the style, form and themes of each film, while explicating aspects of point of view and tone.Contemporary Directors’ Cinema argues that in each of its nine case studies the director’s work is central to the achievement of economy, unity, eloquence, subtlety, depth, vigour, vividness and intensity.By offering critical readings of nine films from mainstream film culture, Contemporary Directors’ Cinema demonstrates that cinema remains vital as a directors’ medium. The films discussed in this book are: Pain and Glory (2019); Shoplifters (2018); Parasite (2019); The White Ribbon (2009); Les Chansons d'amour (2007); The Bling Ring (2013); The Great Beauty (2013); Leviathan (2014); and Winter Sleep (2014).

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’

"Belly breathing or chest breathing?"
Belly breathing is generally recommended over chest breathing because it allows for deeper, more efficient breathing. When you breathe into your belly, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward, allowing your lungs to fully expand and take in more oxygen. This type of breathing can help reduce stress and anxiety, as well as improve overall lung function. Chest breathing, on the other hand, is more shallow and can contribute to feelings of tension and anxiety. Therefore, practicing belly breathing can be beneficial for both physical and mental well-being.

Does the rat have difficulty breathing or breathing poorly?
Yes, the rat may have difficulty breathing or be breathing poorly if it is displaying symptoms such as wheezing, gasping for air, or rapid shallow breaths. These signs could indicate a respiratory issue or infection that requires immediate attention from a veterinarian. It is important to monitor the rat's breathing closely and seek medical help if there are any concerns about its respiratory health.
-
Is chest breathing simply the side view of diaphragmatic breathing?
No, chest breathing and diaphragmatic breathing are not simply different views of the same thing. Chest breathing refers to shallow breathing that primarily involves the expansion and contraction of the chest, while diaphragmatic breathing involves the contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm to draw air into the lungs. Diaphragmatic breathing is considered to be a more efficient and effective way of breathing, as it allows for deeper and more complete breaths, while chest breathing can lead to increased stress and tension in the body.

Do I have trouble breathing when I focus on my breathing?
It is common for people to experience difficulty breathing when they focus on their breath, especially if they become overly conscious of the process. This can lead to feelings of breathlessness or discomfort. It is important to remember that breathing is an automatic process controlled by the body, and trying to control it consciously can sometimes disrupt the natural rhythm. If you find yourself struggling to breathe when focusing on your breath, it may be helpful to shift your attention to something else or practice relaxation techniques to help ease any tension or anxiety.

Breathing Aesthetics
In Breathing Aesthetics Jean-Thomas Tremblay argues that difficult breathing indexes the uneven distribution of risk in a contemporary era marked by the increasing contamination, weaponization, and monetization of air.Tremblay shows how biopolitical and necropolitical forces tied to the continuation of extractive capitalism, imperialism, and structural racism are embodied and experienced through respiration.They identify responses to the crisis in breathing in aesthetic practices ranging from the film work of Cuban American artist Ana Mendieta to the disability diaries of Bob Flanagan, to the Black queer speculative fiction of Renee Gladman.In readings of these and other minoritarian works of experimental film, endurance performance, ecopoetics, and cinema-vérité, Tremblay contends that articulations of survival now depend on the management and dispersal of respiratory hazards.In so doing, they reveal how an aesthetic attention to breathing generates historically, culturally, and environmentally situated tactics and strategies for living under precarity.

Breathing Landscape
For landscape architects, the relationship between artificial and nature has always been ambiguous.Should the demoulding method be natural and hidden under the surface of nature, or should it highlight the strength of human technology?In Breathing Landscape, landscape is not meant to imitate nature or to highlight technology, but to give nature emotion and life. Breathing Landscape is a spiritual creation of physical space for interaction between man and nature, a place of interactive experience from the external to the internal, and a sense of space that has profound extension.The emphasis is on the correlation of people, things, feelings and the environment in the physical space.For Breathing Landscape, the "external" is the natural integration and the "internal" is the interaction with people, and is the internal and external breathing of the human body and spirit.Breathing Landscape is an immeasurable property of nature, which is fascinating and leads to meditative and peaceful self-being.More importantly, it focuses not only on man and nature but also on the superimposition of man, nature and the world, the experience of flowing human life in the spatial environment. There would be no landscape in the world unless there are humans.No matter where you live, you are closely related to the landscape.Through this book, the authors hope to create a pleasing and immersive interaction between nature and feelings.This emotional landscape creation method is reflected throughout the whole book. Text in English and Chinese.

What is fire breathing?
Fire breathing, also known as fire-eating or fire spitting, is a performance art that involves exhaling a fine mist of fuel over an open flame to create a fireball. The performer typically holds a flammable substance in their mouth and then blows it out, creating a dramatic burst of fire. This practice requires careful training, safety precautions, and the use of non-toxic fuels to minimize the risk of injury. Fire breathing is often used as a spectacle in circus acts, street performances, and other forms of entertainment.
