Burgess T: The Singing and Acting
Handbook

The Singing and Acting Handbook

Games and Exercises for the Performer

From one of the most iconic actors in the history of film, an astonishingly revelatory account of a creative life in full To the wider world, Al Pacino exploded onto the scene like a supernova. He landed his first leading role, in The Panic in Needle Park, in 1971, and by 1975, he had starred in four movies-The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon-that were not just successes but landmarks in the history of film. Those performances became legendary and changed his life forever. Not since Marlon Brando and James Dean in the late 1950s had an actor landed in the culture with such force. But Pacino was in his mid thirties by then, and had already lived several lives. A fixture of avant-garde theater in New York, he had led a bohemian existence, working odd jobs to support his craft. He was raised by a fiercely loving but mentally unwell mother and her parents after his father left them when he was young, but in a real sense he was raised by the streets of the South Bronx, and by the troop of buccaneering young friends he ran with, whose spirits never left him. After a teacher recognized his acting promise and pushed him toward New York's fabled High School of Performing Arts, the die was cast. In good times and bad, in poverty and in wealth and in poverty again, through pain and joy, acting was his lifeline, its community his tribe. Sonny Boy is the memoir of a man who has nothing left to fear and nothing left to hide. All the great roles, the essential collaborations, and the important relationships are given their full due, as is the vexed marriage between creativity and commerce at the highest levels. The book's golden thread, however, is the spirit of love and purpose. Love can fail you, and you can be defeated in your ambitions-the same lights that shine bright can also dim. But Al Pacino was lucky enough to fall deeply in love with a craft before he had the foggiest idea of any of its earthly rewards, and he never fell out of love. That has made all the difference. _________________________________________________________________________ Praise for Al Pacino: 'Al Pacino is magical' Martin Scorsese 'A legend' Francis Ford Coppola 'So unique and special' Robert De Niro 'A singular, special talent, whose work stands the test of time' Robin Williams 'A wicked sense of humour' Oliver Stone 'Charming, hilarious, a nonstop talker. There is an aspect of him that is like a lost orphan, like this kind of crazy idiot savant' Diane Keaton 'As Michael in The Godfather, Pacino was everything I wanted that character to be on screen. I couldn't believe it. It was, in my eyes, a perfect performance, a work of art' Mario Puzo, author of The Godfather 'Comedic, talented, and certifiably insane' Johnny Depp 'Al is money, the man in charge, making it happen. I got to act with Al Pacino and it was worth more to me than anything' Samuel L Jackson 'A marvellous actor and man' Sean Connery 'The depth of Al Pacino's artistry is only more overwhelmed by the generosity of his spirit and his warmth. Al Pacino is Van Gogh. Modigliani' Andy Garcia 'The greatest actor in the world' Jamie Foxx

Music Studies and Its Moment of Truth: Leading Change through America's Black Music Roots

33 1/3

Branden Jacobs-Jenkins carefully retraces Hamilton's origins as the musical that brought politicians "from both sides of the aisle," from Michelle Obama calling it "the best work of art [she's] ever seen in any medium" to Hillary Clinton's quoting it at the end of her 2016 speech at the Democratic National Convention. This book squares the emergence of Hamilton as a cultural darling of the American leftist political classes with its portraits of a morally-questionable political figures in history told through the merging of two forms with notoriously radical roots. It parses how and why this Broadway musical reached the height of visibility that it has and what this communicates about the American sociopolitical climate and culture at the beginning of the 21st century - especially after one of the most discordant and alarming sociopolitical showdowns since the 19th century. And ultimately, though Hamilton is a perfectly enjoyable and impressively crafty piece of musical theater, it argues that it in many ways is not, in fact, revolutionary. Does Hamilton engage seriously with politics? Or is politics merely the backdrop for the same-old show business?

In Chasin' the Sound: Learning Jazz Improvisation through Historical Models, authors Brian Levy and Keith Waters use solos by famous jazz musicians to outline a melodic and rhythmic vocabulary of jazz improvisation. In contrast to mainstream approaches based on rote memorization and generic chord/scale pedagogies, Chasin' the Sound encourages a hands-on approach with activities that highlight the intangible yet key aesthetics of sound, groove, and feel. By studying jazz fundamentals alongside well-known examples of those fundamentals in practice, students gain a broader and more meaningful understanding of the art of improvisation.

Notes for Performers

Notes for Oboists: A Guide to the Repertoire is an essential resource for professional, amateur, and student oboists that collects the important historical and analytical information for thirty-five of the best-known pieces composed for the instrument. These works span the eighteenth through the twenty-first century and include sonatas, concertos, chamber music, and works for solo oboe by a wide range of composers. Chapters will cover compositions such as Alessandro Marcello's Concerto in D Minor, Robert Schumann's Three Romances Op. 94, Francis Poulenc's Sonata for Oboe and Piano, Isang Yun's Piri for Oboe Solo, Reena Esmail's Jhula Jhule for Oboe and Piano, and thirty other treasures of the oboe repertoire.

Writing in engaging and accessible prose supported by fact-filled analytical charts, Nora A. Lewis offers rich biographical information on individual composers, historical context for compositions (such as the circumstances for its development), as well as clear structural analyses to help oboists gain a deeper understanding of well-known repertoire. In offering both historical/biographical as well as musicological insight, Notes for Oboists connects performance studies with scholarship, allowing readers to build a more complete picture of the music and encourage them to approach other compositions in a similarly analytical manner.

What goes on in the body and mind of an endurance athlete at the limits of performance? How do they relate to the world around and prepare for the task ahead? Offering a refreshing perspective on training in the cross-lighting of aesthetic and athletic processes, this book focuses on the learning, mastery and creative adaptation of technique in performance. From traditional and physical actors to runners, boxers and other sports practitioners, it is about performers: their bodies, trainings and experiences. It interrogates what it means to prepare and train as a performer in the early 21st century. Writing from extensive experience in physical theatre and long-distance running, the author combines insights from both disciplines along with theatre history, sports science and perspectives like embodied cognition and affective science. From the kind of thoughts that go through the mind of an actor or a runner, to the economy and aesthetic of their movement and to how they feel about it, this book sheds light on the performing body and its capacities for action. Topics covered include attentional focus and distraction, affordances and equipment, 'choking' and stage fright, physiological regulation and effort perception, pacing and play, optimal flow and creative improvisation, and intentionality and automaticity in expert performance. The volume presents an informative and thought-provoking account accessible to readers interested in theatre, dance, performance, running, athletics, and sport.
