Sixteen-year-old Jeremy Duncan is a high school freshman and an aspiring musician. He daydreams about the day when his band, Goat Cheese Pizza, records their first monster hit single, and they all pile into his van for their cross-country, sold-out concert tour. Between naps, study hall and band practice, Jeremy still manages to find time to be the star of the hugely popular comic strip, Zits.

The amazing adventures of a woman with a fist in her head. Clara Darcy is fit! She's also (almost) care-free, (kind of) happily single and joyously dancing through life but, little does she know, her world is about to be turned upside down thanks to the arrival of a fist - slap-bang in the middle of her head. Based on her astonishing real-life story, There Should Definitely Be More Dancing explores the things that define us, that fill us up and make us who we are – a cautionary postcard from the edge of life stuffed full of heart and love and dancing. First produced by Oldham Coliseum Theatre, this edition was published to coincide with the world premiere production at Oldham Coliseum Theatre, followed by a national tour and run at the Assembly Rooms as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

This is the first volume devoted to the topic of dance and quality of life. Thirty-one chapters illuminate dance in relation to singular and overlapping themes of nature, philosophy, spirituality, religion, life span, learning, love, family, teaching, creativity, ability, socio-cultural identity, politics and change, sex and gender, wellbeing, and more. With contributions from a multi-generational group of artists, community workers, educators, philosophers, researchers, students and health professionals, this volume presents a thoughtful, expansive-yet-focused, and nuanced discussion of dance’s contribution to human life. The volume will interest dance specialists, quality of life researchers, and anyone interested in exploring dance’s contribution to quality of living and being.

This is it. There’s no better time than now. You’ve heard the whispers – perhaps the screams – of a life trapped somewhere between conditioning and resistance. In Your Vivid Life: An Invitation to Live A Radically Authentic Life, Shayne Traviss - Student of Life and Founder of VividLife(dot)me a global platform for personal development (that’s reached millions around the globe) - shares his personal trials and triumphs while giving palpable advice on what worked for him, and what didn’t, in hopes of helping you find your way. Split into 3 parts (Undoing Conditioning, Breaking Through Resistance and Radical Authenticity), each part containing 4 chapters (including practices, tools, and techniques). Through solitude, awareness, worth and environment he mirrors our conditioning; in connections, evolution, nourishment and play the path of least resistance; and through service, gratitude, movement and unconditional love, the path to a radically authentic life. Every section, every chapter, every word, an invitation to birth your truest self. Your life is speaking. It’s time you listen up. And this is your opportunity. Your Vivid Life is a warm, inspirational self-help book that invites us to let go of conditioning, break through resistance and to live life ‘all in’. Join Shayne as he leads you to a place where you can authentically live the most vivid life possible. Shayne Traviss has led an extremely challenging life; from abuse and bullying, to loss, and chasing an ideal of success that wasn’t the healthiest. He struggled to find himself and his place in the world. While life’s challenges can shut some people down, Shayne channeled his experiences into learning more about himself and to integrating these lessons into creating a Vivid Life.

Giant hornets, rampaging rabbits, dancing dinosaurs, angry ants, human boiler systems. A nightmarish vision of a post-apocalyptic future? Maybe. But these are also the furry characters who add that little extra spice to every sporting occasion. These are the world’s mascots.
