It traces the evolution of performing spaces in the city; the emergence of actors, musicians, and dancers as independent artists; the inequality between performer and spectator; the uneasy relations between artistic creation and social and religious ritual; the uses and abuses of acting by politicians.

The Journey to Ineffectiveness: A Beginner’s Guide” by Dr JC, presents the novel argument that Ineffectiveness is a good thing and we should embrace it. It lays out a plan whereby we can increase our ineffectiveness. The book introduces our other IQ (Ineffectiveness Quotient), which is measured by our behavior, rather than our mental ability. It introduces a number of areas that present us opportunities to increase our IQ in a humorous, and some might say an outrageous, style.
