Acerca de esta escucha
The hugely influential classic of theater writing—now available for the first time as an audiobook, read by award-winning actor Adrian Lester.
Peter Brook's seminal book, The Empty Space, sets out many of the ideas about theater which have informed his lifelong work as a theater director, from his iconic "white box" production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and his groundbreaking adaptation of The Mahabharata, to his ongoing work at the International Centre for Theatre Research.
More than 50 years on from its first publication in 1968, The Empty Space remains a cornerstone of thinking about theater. Written with refreshing clarity, and full of personal insights, it sets out Brook's influential concept of the four different types of theater—the deadly theater, the holy theater, the rough theater, and the immediate theater—and investigates the evolution of theatrical ideas, from Stanislavsky and method acting to Brecht and happenings, as well as examining different ways of playing Shakespeare.
Read by Adrian Lester—who played the title role in Brook's acclaimed production of Hamlet in Paris, London, and New York—this new unabridged audiobook of The Empty Space will continue to inspire and instruct new generations of theater-makers everywhere.

In the tradition of Octavia Butler, here is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help to shape the futures we want. Change is constant. The world, our bodies, and our minds are in a constant state of flux. They are a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, Emergent Strategy teaches us to map and assess the swirling structures and to read them as they happen, all the better to shape that which ultimately shapes us, personally and politically.

Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s about your relationship to the world.

On stage and screen, we know a great performance when we see it. But how do actors draw from their bodies and minds to turn their selves into art? What is the craft of being an authentic fake? More than a century ago, amid tsarist Russia’s crushing repression, one of the most talented actors ever, Konstantin Stanislavski, asked these very questions, reached deep into himself and emerged with an answer.
