In presenting their comprehensive definition of improvisation, the authors consider developments in improvisation in the arts since 1945 by particularly emphasizing process and technique and by featuring artists in all media, from Grotowski and Laurie Anderson to Goldsworthy. Their approach is analytical and theoretical, but it is also relevant to practitioners and their audience. For Smith and Dean, improvisation has been of great importance and value in the contemporary arts because of its potential to develop new forms, often by breaking existing definitions: they see hypermedia and interac

This book considers one of the most exciting and innovative developments within higher education: the rise of the creative arts and the growing recognition that creative practice is a valid field of research.

Essays cover a wide range of disciplines, including creative writing, dance, music, theater, film, and new media, and contributors are from the

World-renowned futurist Hazel Henderson extends her twenty-five years of work in economics to examine the havoc the current economic system is creating at the global level. Markets are now spreading worldwide - a spread which is often equated with the hope of democracy spreading along with it. But markets still run on old textbook models that ignore social and environmental costs - leading to a new kind of warfare: global economic warfare. Building a Win-Win World demonstrates how the global economy is unsustainable because of its negative effects on employees, families, communities, and the e
