NT Connections have published over 150 original plays and regularly works with 500 theatre companies and 10,000 young people each year. This anthology brings together 10 new plays by some of the UK's most prolific and current writers and artists alongside notes on each of the texts exploring performance for schools and youth groups.

Описание: How embracing untranslatable terms for well-being--from the Finnish sisu to the Yiddish mensch--can enrich our emotional understanding and experience.
Western psychology is rooted in the philosophies and epistemologies of Western culture. But what of concepts and insights from outside this frame of reference? Certain terms not easily translatable into English--for example, nirvāṇa (from Sanskrit), or ag pē (from Classical Greek), or turangawaewae (from Māori)--are rich with meaning but largely unavailable to English-speaking students and seekers of wellbeing. In this book, Tim Lomas argues that engaging with "untranslatable" terms related to well-being can enrich not only our understanding but also our experience. We can use these words, Lomas suggests, to understand and express feelings and experiences that were previously inexpressible.
Lomas examines 400 words from 80 languages, arranges them thematically, and develops a theoretical framework that highlights the varied dimensions of well-being and traces the connections between them. He identifies three basic dimensions of well-being--feelings, relationships, and personal development--and then explores each in turn through untranslatable words. nanda, for example, usually translated as bliss, can have spiritual associations in Buddhist and Hindu contexts; kefi in Greek expresses an intense emotional state--often made more intense by alcohol. The Japanese concept of koi no yokan means a premonition or presentiment of love, capturing the elusive and vertiginous feeling of being about to fall for someone, imbued with melancholy and uncertainty; the Yiddish term mensch has been borrowed from its Judaic and religious connotations to describe an all-around good human being; and Finnish offers sisu--inner determination in the face of adversity.
Expanding the lexicon of well-being in this way showcases the richness of cultural diversity while reminding us powerfully of our common humanity. Lomas's website, www.drtimlomas.com/lexicography, allows interested readers to contribute their own words and interpretations.

Описание: Matilda lives at Little Bagwood Farm with her mummy; daddy; and her older sister, Polly. For her seventh birthday, she gets a beautiful Welsh Mountain Pony, her name is Diva. All through the summer, they have so much fun together, going to shows and gymkhanas. Late in August, Diva has a foal, her foal is a unicorn. Because Diva is a Welsh pony, he is not a full unicorn. His sire (his father) is the Golden King, King of all the Unicorns, horses and ponies. The foal's name is Prince Argent, The Silver Prince. Time passes and Prince is maturing, and Matilda is now riding him. It is near to midsummer and very hot, so they go to the forest and when riding in the forest, a fairy princess, Princess Kessia, appears and gives a message from the Golden King. Matilda and Prince must go to the henge of stones on midsummer's day at midday and then the magic will begin and he will become a full unicorn. This is only the beginning of their adventures together.

Описание: A beautifully illustrated dictionary of words from around the world that describe experiences of happiness for which there are no equivalents in the English language.

In this magical book, psychologist Tim Lomas surveys words from around the world to help readers put their finger on feelings of happiness that before might have lingered for only a moment in their mind's eye before disappearing. The ideal gift for language lovers, or for anyone looking for a megadose of pure joy, Happiness--Found in Translation features such "untranslatable" words as: Bazodee A Creole (Trinidad and Tobago) word to describe a dizzy and dazed happiness, a bewildered, discombobulated joy. Charmolypi A Greek word for the sad, joy-making sorrow when happiness and sadness intermingle. W w i A Chinese term for natural, spontaneous, and effortless action, skilfully flowing with the currents of life.
