Dhama Suna (Music Of Tibet) - Tibetan Institute Of Performing Arts

The Tibetan Art of Living

Advantages: Good food for thought and quite inspiring
Disadvantages: Calls for a leap of faith..

The Tibetan Art of Living is not usually a book I would read, but I picked it up in a New Age shop on a recent visit to Glastonbury. After skimming through it a few paragraphs intrigued me. I tend to be a rather sceptical person, but I keep open minded about subjects preferring to EXPERIENCE truth rather than conceptualise it. Before going any further in the review of this book, let me try to explain? I see an experience as something that is absolute truth - you know it because you experience it. On the hand, a belief is something that may or may not be true. I see it like this? Books generate beliefs, and truth will either be realised or not realised by what you experience after digesting the content of a book and "looking" for yourself. What follows are the feelings that were generated in me as a result of reading this ...

Review of The Tibetan Art of Living - Wise body, Wise Mind, Wise Life - Christopher Hansard

Review of LIPA Music Program

Advantages: good facilities, SOME very good teachers, talented students, multicultural atmosphere
Disadvantages: some irresponsible staff, poor post-graduate communication, disorganized, high price for foreign students

showed a lack of respect for the time and schedules of all the students. The content of some of the lectures was often ill prepared. As a side note, the staff that were my favourites (most organized, taught the most valuable information) have taken jobs elsewhere. There were some key members of staff (particularly the head of the music program)who were the most disorganized, and perhaps this is why the entire program was questionable. In regards to post graduate communication, it is very poor. Upon graduating, I needed several pieces of information sent to me. I sent several e-mails regarding this and was told it would be taken care of. Over half a year later and several e-mails later, I am still waiting for these papers, and I have now stopped recieving responses. Maybe it's the distance, (I live in North America) and the fact ...

Review of LIPA (Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts)

Step aside RADA, there's a new sheriff in town

Advantages: A school for Performing Artists put together by Performing Artists
Disadvantages: Limited number of places on each course means it is very difficult to get in to.

In 1996, a school opened with a new vision for the training and teaching of Performing Arts students. Funded by various outlets, including the Government and European Union, but most famously by Sir Paul McCartney, the school's vision was one in which students could learn by doing, and be trained in as many areas as they wished. LIPA was born. The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts is effectively a drama school with University status, through it's partnership with Liverpool John Moore's (although there is talk of it attempting to break away from LJMU and receive the status on its own). Offering courses in all areas of the Performing Arts, it is one of the most advanced Universities of it's kind, not only in this country, but in the world. The curriculum has been specifically designed to allow all students on all routes the best ...
