Don’t Think, Dear

Don’t Think, Dear

Alice Robb

Oneworld Publications
2023
sidottu
Can ballet ever be reconciled with feminist ideals? 'Beautiful, difficult, and compelling.' VANITY FAIR 'Don’t think, dear,' said Balanchine. 'Just do.' For centuries, being a ballerina has been synonymous with being beautiful, thin, obedient and feminine. It is the crucible of womanhood, together with the harassment, physical abuse and eating disorders endemic at top schools. Can we abide this in a post #MeToo world? Weaving together her own time at America’s most elite ballet school with the lives of renowned ballerinas throughout history, Alice Robb interrogates what it means to perform ballet today. She confronts the all-consuming nature of the form: the obsessive and dangerous practices to perfect the body, the embrace of submission and the idealisation of suffering. Yet ballet also gifts its dancers ‘brains in their toes’, a way to fully inhabit their bodies and a sanctuary of control away from the pressures of the outside world. Perhaps it is time to reimagine its liberating potential. *** 'Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, the book weaves [Robb’s] early experiences as a dancer with those of her contemporaries, and of famous ballerinas… Don’t Think, Dear is powered by a fundamental love of the art form while exposing the toxic culture that runs through it.' GUARDIAN '[Robb’s] timely book is a critical yet personal examination of classical ballet – a performing art highly dependent on the talent of women – filtered through the lens of 21st-century feminism… she brings a welcome academic rigour to a subject clearly born of deeply held emotions.' THE TIMES 'A study of an obsession remarkable for its nuance and insight… It might be easy… to assume that Don’t Think, Dear is Robb’s litany of grievances about a demanding art form in which she failed to flourish. Rather, it is a book about love, even if that love is ultimately unrequited… fascinating.' TLS

Don Jose, The Last Patron

Don Jose, The Last Patron

Jose Ortiz Pino; Jose Ortiz Y Pino

Sunstone Press
2007
pokkari
Four hundred years ago, the pioneer men and women who first came to New Mexico were forced to make their life compatible with the earth and with their isolation. The beauty that surrounded them did not sustain them, but out of reverence for the land, there appeared the chosen ones--the "curanderos" who understood the medicinal uses of herbs; the "veijitos," the old men who made folklore, history and tradition and recounted it to the younger generations. And from this same tradition came the Patr n, a man who had the ability to channel ambition and determination, and to make the land and its people yield to the law of common interest. He was a protector, a watcher of signs; he was a code maker, a fashioner of a way of life that is sadly missing in today's world. He was called the Patr n by those whom he loved and who returned that love with work, faith and personal devotion. They called him the Patr n, but they might just as well have called him the Godfather. Jos Ortiz y Pino has portrayed New Mexico, its characters and traditions with a sagacious wit and poignant keenness that could only have emanated from one who grew up in its midst. And he has narrated for us the story of a man whose visions had no limits, a man whose dedication to his goal was matched only by his sense of justice and compassion for all men--Don Jos Ortiz, The Last Patr n.

Don't Have Feelings, Don't Make A Scene

Skinner!

Last Gasp,U.S.
2018
sidottu
A new chapter in the extraordinary and unorthodox career of the artist known as Skinner. Take a vibrant, neon tour through the travels, shows, experiments, friends, and strange career of an American visionary freak. Skinner's wild, graphic explorations take form in multiple media, expanding the self-reflective narratives and myths that have defined his oeuvre. Skinner's unusual path has taken him beyond the traditional routes of many artists, and this book documents his journey-into-the-unknown. This journey, which has come to define his career, puts zero limits on where his creativity will take him--venturing into world-building concepts in film, animation, music videos, and writing. In addition to his fine art, Skinner has seen success in many commercial avenues with identification bumps for Adult Swim, live projections for the band Mastodon, and the experimental art show "Drawing with Skinner" on Super Deluxe. Won't you come along?

Don Parties On

Don Parties On

David Williamson

CURRENCY PRESS PTY LTD
2011
nidottu
Forty years ago, a young playwright muscled his way onto the scene with a clutch of time-defining plays, including Don's Party. With this sequel, David Williamson celebrates four decades of telling the tribe their story. It's 21 August 2010, the night of yet another Federal election and, of course, yet another election night party at Don's place. Over the decades, as he and his friends watched governments come and go, they have also closely followed the incoming results from each other's lives: the tallies of luck and misfortune, the unexpected swings for and against. And through it all, the lesson that this crowd of superannuated baby boomers never seemed to learn is that politics and strong personalities should never be mixed with alcohol.

Don Agustin V. Zamorano

Don Agustin V. Zamorano

George L. Harding

Arthur H. Clark Company
2003
sidottu
Arguably one of the more important figures in early California history, Don Agustin Juan Vicente Zamorano (1798-1842) first came to California in 1825 as the executive secretary of the territory of Alta California, and went on to become commandant of the most important military base in the territory, the presidio of Monterey, and even was the acting governor of the territory for a year. Zamorano is best known, however, for being the first printer in California.Arriving with Governor Don Jose Maria de Echeandia in the fall of 1825, Zamorano became involved in California affairs during the transitional period following Mexico's independence from Spain in 1821 and its adoption of a republican constitution in 1824.Zamorano imported the first printing press to be set up west of the Rocky Mountains in 1826. From 1826 to 1831, he created letterheads from woodblocks and type, pounding proofs without a press. With the acquisition of a press in 1834, Zamorano issued eleven broadsides, six books, and six miscellaneous works, in addition to numerous letterheads, before departing California in 1838. The small books and proclamations issued by Zamorano are extremely rare, and represent the earliest printing in the Far West.Through the use of source materials, including Zamorano's reports to the Mexican government, proclamations to the people of California, and letters to and about Zamorano, author Harding establishes Zamorano's connection with the history of California from 1825 to 1838.Originally published in 1934 in an edition of only 325 copies by the Zamorano Club, a well-known Los Angeles organization of book collectors, printers, and librarians, Don Agustin V. Zamorano tells the life history of the man who brought the art of printing to California. Long out of print and unavailable, the second edition of this important biography is offered now with a new introduction.

Don't Throw the Book at Them

Don't Throw the Book at Them

Harry Box

William Carey Library Publishers
2014
pokkari
Don't Throw the Book at Them addresses one of the most vital issues in contemporary missions. It is a manual for cross-cultural missionaries and national church leaders ministering in societies based on oral rather than written communication. Harry Box, former missionary and researcher in Papua New Guinea and among the Aborigines of Central Australia, explains the distinct characteristics of oral societies, how they differ from literacy-oriented societies, Jesus' ministry to oral communicators, and why effective presentation of the Christian message demands that Western Christians change their approach to orality. The book goes beyond case studies and analysis, allowing the reader to develop a detailed plan for communication.

Sarah Jo Burke

Limelight Editions
2004
sidottu
Back in the 1960s, the Burke Family Singers were America's answer to Austria's von Trapp Family. Throughout that tumultuous decade the fabric of the nation's life was of course torn by the war in Vietnam and the impassioned drive of the civil rights movement. It was against this churning backdrop that a large Rhode Island family - mother, father and 10 children - set out on the first of what would prove a long series of coast-to-coast tours, whose only purpose was to bring the glorious sound of their music to audiences everywhere. They performed in major cities and remote small towns, and during their travels they met the von Trapp Family and recorded an album of Christmas carols with them. Sarah Jo Burke, the youngest of the five daughters, has written a book that celebrates American values in the best sense and, if nothing else, proves that the family that sings together stays together.

With a calloused and lustful heart, Don Juan indulges his sexual appetites with boundless enthusiasm. Heedless of warnings both earthly and otherwise, history's most notorious romantic devil rushes headlong toward retribution in Moli re's sparkling comedy. "Richard Nelson's supple translation accommodates this transposition comfortably, without infidelity to the original." Julius Novick, The Village Voice "Richard Nelson's translation...seems an improvement on previous drab, very English, English versions." James Lardner, The Washington Post

Firesign Theatre

Broadway Play Publishing
2012

DWARF is the story of the five ages of Man and in particular, the five ages of one George Leroy Tirebiter, a man named after a dog "The Beatles of comedy." -Library of Congress "The Firesign Theatre is a comedy group that uses the recording studio at least as brilliantly as any rock group ..." -Robert Christgau "... Firesign is] the funniest team in America today, combining elements of W C Fields, James Joyce, Lord Buckley, contemporary television and Thirties radio, scrambling it all up in a collective consciousness that defies description, and then spewing it out in a free-form half-hour epic presentation of sheer insanity ... Their timing is dynamite, their dialog kaleidoscopic, and their satire is, so to speak, acidic. WAITING FOR THE ELECTRICIAN ... a masterpiece of paranoia." -Ed Ward, Rolling Stone
