This collection of articles provides a theoretical discussion of the promises and pitfalls inherent in transplanting art forms from one culture to another; it offers practical guidance for those who might want to participate in this enterprise and explains the general history of the dance exchange to date.

This is a first examination of a phenomenon that has already touched most people in the arts community worldwide, and that none can afford to ignore. A lively dialogue has evolved over the last few decades between dance professionals -- performers, teachers and administrators -- in the United States and Europe and their counterparts in Asia and the Pacific rim.

The Edutainer: Connecting the Art and Science of Teaching
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Johnson, Brad, Jr. / McElroy, Tammy Maxson, PUBLISHER: R&l Education, The Edutainer describes an educational approach that provides teachers with core operational and interpersonal skills to be an effective educator in the twenty-first century. These skills include communication, organization, management, planning, and building authentic relationships based upon respect and personal responsibility. The Edutainer is unique in its perspective that the educator should be fluid and adapting to our current culture, while employing sound academic principles. The edutainer concept is derived from the principles that we believe make for an effective educator and entertainer. First edutainers are visionaries, who understand that a change in culture requires a change in methods and presentation. These edutainers make their material relevant to present culture. Preparation is also vital to these performers. They organize and plan their material long before they get on stage or their performance would fail. Finally, the effective educator and entertainer have to deliver a stellar performance that is relatable to the audience. The Edutainer offers strategies and ideas to build and nurture authentic relationships with students, parents, and colleagues to build a dynamic educational community.

Masked Dancers
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hager, Jean, PUBLISHER: Mysterious Press, Emily Bushyhead's father is chief of police in the small town of Buckskin, Oklahoma, but that doesn't prepare her for the horror of finding a body in the cave she's used as shelter from a violent thunder storm. Mitch Bushyhead discovers that the dead man is Arnett Walsh, one of the Oklahoma Wildlife Department officers assigned to investigating the recent random killing of protected bald eagles. The police suspect a connection to Vian Brasfield, the local high school principal who has been sponsoring eagle dances performed by colorfully masked performers on his property outside of town. Brasfield, who is obsessed with Cherokee lore and history, knows all the dancers, particularly ones known to hunt with bows and arrows. But Mitch can't talk to Brasfield; he's disappeared. In addition, the police must contend with Dane Kennedy, who promotes anti-government "patriotic" activities, from a compound near Brasfield's land. His known anti-Cherokee sentiments don't make him a murderer, but he knows more than he's saying. In the end, it isn't political passion that brings chaos to this small Oklahoma city; the crimes of the heart revisit the children of a murdered woman.
The Talent Edge: A Behavioral Approach to Hiring,
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: David S. Cohen, PUBLISHER: Wiley, "A practical step-by-step approach to hiring the right person." Every hiring manager knows that the traditional hiring and interviewing process is a poor tool for predicting organizational fit and future on-the-job success. Behavioral interviewing can improve your chances of picking the right candidate two to five times over traditional processes. It focuses on how the candidate works rather than on skills, qualifications, and impressions. "The Talent Edge" shows how you can develop a concrete understanding of what your own top performers do differently than the majority of their peers, and how to translate that knowledge into a better hiring system. While using case studies from organizations that have successfully transformed their hiring practices, the book articulates the business case for a Behavioral Interviewing system, and provides a roadmap for implementing it. Comprehensive coverage includes: how to write job profiles and translate them into questions and answers that can be used in the interview; how to prepare for the interview, ask questions, and probe for the right information. The book also offers advice on how behaviors that are defined and proven to be useful in the hiring process can be incorporated into performance management, career development, and succession planning.

The George Gershwin Reader
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wyatt, Robert / Johnson, John Andrew, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, George Gershwin is one of the giants of American music, unique in that he was both a brilliant writer of popular songs ("Swanee," "I Got Rhythm," "They Can't Take That Away From Me") and of more serious music, including "Rhapsody in Blue," "An American in Paris," and "Porgy and Bess." Now, in The George Gershwin Reader, music lovers are treated to a spectacular celebration of this great American composer. The Reader offers a kaleidoscopic collection of writings by and about Gershwin, including more than eighty pieces of superb variety, color, and depth. There is a who's who of famous commentators: bandleader Paul Whiteman; critics Robert Benchley, Alexander Woollcott, and Brooks Atkinson; fellow musicians Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Alec Wilder (who analyzes the songs "That Certain Feeling" and "A Foggy Day"), Leonard Bernstein, and the formidable modernist composer Arnold Schoenberg (who was Gershwin's tennis partner in Hollywood). Some of the most fascinating and important writings here deal with the critical debate over Gershwin's concert pieces, especially "Rhapsody in Blue" and "An American in Paris," and there is a complete section devoted to the controversies over "Porgy and Bess," including correspondence between Gershwin and DuBose Hayward, the opera's librettist (a series of excerpts which illuminate the creative process), plus unique interviews with the original Porgy and Bess--Todd Duncan and Anne Brown. Sprinkled throughout the book are excerpts from Gershwin's own letters, which offer unique insight into this fascinating and charming man. Along with a detailed chronology of the composer's life, the editors provide informative introductions to each entry. Here then is a book for anyone interested in American music. Scholars, performers, and Gershwin's legions of fans will find it an irresistible feast.
