We all long for a sense of our true vocation -- a confirmation that through our work we are not simply involved in providing for our own needs but that we are contributing in a meaningful way to a greater whole that benefits the community at large. And yet the world of work today is in crisis -- a crisis of management, of quality, of service. Many people feel alienated from their work. Lack of fulfillment in the work place, a sense of not being recognized or valued for one's unique contribution, lead to feelings of discontent and unhappiness that translate into lack of commitment and interest toward one's work, poor-quality relationships with colleagues and employers and, ultimately, decreased levels of productivity and problematic customer relations for the company. Honorable Work offers an antidote to these negative trends and demonstrates in a practical, down-to-earth manner how success and satisfaction in the workplace can be achieved. Based upon the work of STRIVE (Success Training in Vocal Expression), it uses techniques and methods that have demonstrated their effectiveness in workshops and seminars with a variety of business organizations since 1984. Based upon the premise that We receive honor for what we do when we first give honor to it, Honorable Work consists of four steps -- Commitment, Ownership, Communication, and Integration. Anstett carefully explains all these stages and demonstrates how they can be realized through the practice of a variety of simple yet potent exercises that can bring about a shift in our entrenched attitudes and affect even our physical posture and the manner of our speaking. The pursuit of Honorable Work is an ideal yet achievable goal that restores authenticity and integrity to one's work and promotes positive interpersonal relationships not just at work but in life in general. Honorable Work will prove to be a vital and stimulating resource manual for all those actively involved in helping to improve the quality of our professional and corporate life.

The Director’s Toolkit is a comprehensive guide to the role of the theatrical director.

Drawing on the author’s own experience in multiple production roles, the book highlights the relationship between the director, stage manager and designer, exploring how the director should be involved in all elements of the production process. Featuring a unique exploration of directing in special circumstances, the book includes chapters on directing nonrealistic plays, musicals, alternative theatre configurations, and directing in an educational environment. The book includes detailed illustrations, step-by-step checklists, and opportunities for further exploration, offering a well-rounded foundation for aspiring directors.

Shortlisted for the STR Theatre Book Prize 2023 A manifesto for the future of playwriting, this book challenges you to be a part of that future in the belief that it is fundamentally important to write plays. Plays help us understand ourselves, others, and the world around us. Reading this book, you will be challenged to learn your craft, explode what you know, prioritise what is important to you, and write in the way that only you can write. Most books on playwriting explain how to create a believable character in a story driven by plot. This book, however, goes even further in its exploration of the playwright's most valuable tool: theatricality. By learning from the past, and the present, the playwrights of tomorrow can create new, vivid, theatrical drama for the future. This manifesto also examines the process of writing, the art of collaboration, and the impact of writing on a playwright's mental health. It identifies the highs and lows, as well as the trials and tribulations, of life as a playwright in today's world. Theatre is a living artform. It is time for playwrights to acknowledge that fact and to celebrate the unique, primal thrill that a live theatre experience offers us. The future of playwriting is in your hands. Do you accept the challenge?

British theatre underwent a vast transformation and expansion in the decades after World War II. This Companion explores the historical, political, and social contexts and conditions that not only allowed it to expand but, crucially, shaped it. Resisting a critical tendency to focus on plays alone, the collection expands understanding of British theatre by illuminating contexts such as funding, unionisation, devolution, immigration, and changes to legislation. Divided into four parts, it guides readers through changing attitudes to theatre-making (acting, directing, writing), theatre sectors (West End, subsidised, Fringe), theatre communities (audiences, Black theatre, queer theatre), and theatre's relationship to the state (government, infrastructure, nationhood). Supplemented by a valuable Chronology and Guide to Further Reading, it presents up-to-date approaches informed by critical race theory, queer studies, audience studies, and archival research to demonstrate important new ways of conceptualising post-war British theatre's history, practices and potential futures.

There is No Better Way Than To Learn From Successes. The problem is that successful playwrights are not always the best teachers. These letters in themselves are not a course of study, but rather consider these missives to serve as muses that sit on your shoulder and opine. There are no workable rules for play-writing to be found hereÑnor, indeed, any particular light of any kind on the subject, so the letters may be approached with a mind arranged for enjoyment. As to the talented authors of these letters, they know excellently wellÑevery one of themÑhow to write a playÑor did while still aliveÑeven tho some of them see fit to deny it; but they cannot tell us how to do it for the very good reason that it cannot be told. Their charming efforts to find a way out when cornered by such an inquiry as appears to have been made to them are surely worth all their trouble and annoyanceÑnot to speak of their highly probable exasperation.
