Informationen zum Autor Brenda Murphy is a yoga master and meditation and mindfulness instructor. She has been a passionate practitioner for over 40 years and credits this with literally saving her life from early-onset dementia, debilitating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and the effects of a traumatic brain injury. Brenda survived a propane explosion, when her new home blew up. Her story of dedication, resilience and faith shows us how we can better show up for ourselves; how to heal from the inside out. Brenda takes us along her journey of battling lifelong trauma, neglect and abuse, and provides for us all, the skills and information we need to better attend to our own lives in a compassionate way, and therefore be better citizens of the world. Brenda is a strong speaker and loves having the opportunity to teach and share her hard-won wisdom. She is an avid equestrian and nature lover who lives in Ontario with her husband and furry friends. A study of the most influential theatre group of the twentieth century, the Provincetown Players. The Provincetown Players, an experimental theatre group that flourished in Greenwich Village from 1916 to 1922, included such playwrights as Eugene O'Neill, Susan Glaspell, and Edna St Vincent Millay. Murphy considers the group's vital role in the development of modernism, and its wider significance in twentieth century American culture. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. The founding: myth and history; 2. The first plays; 3. Others and the other players; 4. Glaspell and O'Neill; 5. The legacy.
