Artist's Lecture:
Social Surgery and Genetic Pleasures

About David Teplica MD, MFA
David Teplica is a photographer and plastic surgeon who lives and works in Chicago, Illinois. He maintains two active professional careers that often commingle. After completing medical school at Dartmouth, Teplica trained in Plastic Surgery at the University of Chicago. During the same seven-year Residency period, he received the Trustee's Scholarship for the full course of study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and earned a Master of Fine Arts.

Today Teplica maintains a focused private practice in Chicago with patients from around the globe. He exhibits his creative work throughout the United States and Europe and lectures widely. As a member of the faculty, Teplica bases his teaching and research activities at the University of Chicago.

Perhaps best known for his detailed studies of identical twin relationships (the most extreme form of human intimacy), Teplica has also meticulously recorded his family experiences, personal relationships, and social forays over the same period. For the first time, the exhibition Intimate Decade and this accompanying catalog present a selection of images that explore the breadth of human contact at Teplica's personal interface between art and medicine.

Luminous Mind and the Institute of Biocognitive Psychology present a workshop with Dr. Mario Martinez in a cutting-edge fusion of Buddhist psychology and western mind-body science.

Friday October 9th, 2009
7 pm to 9 pm
Belle Meade Executive Suites, Second floor conference room
4525 Harding Road
(Across from Belle Meade Kroger)
Nashville, TN 37205
Cost: Contributions to Luminous Mind

We want to cultivate the qualities of lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, but what do we do with negative emotions such as anger, jealousy, and aggression?

In this presentation Dr. Mario Martinez teaches how to apply Western mind-body science to the exalted emotions known in Buddhism as the Four Immeasurables, or Four Brahmaviharas. Based on how cognition and emotions affect the immune system, biocognitive techniques offer an added dimension to resolve the fear-based emotions that can block the health benefits of the Four Immeasurables and other contemplative techniques.

Although presented using research from the Buddhist community, this seminar is suitable for people of all spiritual paths who would like to keep negative emotions from undermining their positive intentions.

Dr. Martinez is a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of biocognitive science. He is the author of the psychological novel “The Man from Autumn” (Llumina Press) and the CD learning series “The Mind-Body Code” (Sounds True). Because of his specialty in how cultural and spiritual beliefs affect the immune system, he has been a consultant for the BBC, National Geographic, the Catholic Church, and Buddhist monks. For more information on Mario’s work visit www.biocognitive.com.

The event will be a fundraiser for Luminous Mind to allow us to bring in more teachers in the future. There is no minimum or maximum contribution. As a co-author of the event, please feel free to give whatever you feel appropriate and which makes you feel abundant. To register, email info@luminousmind.net. To download a flyer and view a location map, go to http://www.luminousmind.net/events.html

Note: A Friday night study series on the Four Immeasurables will begin following this special event.

Helpful Insider Information
Kids Agent Tips

www.commercialkids.com/ck/helpful_tips.cfm

1. Write a short cover letter telling them about you. Be creative and professional in your mailing approach. If they want you– don’t make them hunt for your contact info. Include your contact number on everything! Be Polite. Don’t call again and again. They got your package. If they like your type or need your type, they will call you. If not now, they might need your type next month.
2. The more mailings you send out the better your chances. Kids talent agents come and go frequently and kids casting agents work on various projects. You need to keep your name, and photo out there and often. The more you are out there, the better your odds of booking jobs.
3. Always use a legitimate licensed kids talent agency. Get the up-to-date kids talent agent list at commercialkids.com if you are planning on doing acting, modeling, singing or dance professionally, these are the only talent agents you should ever use. If they are not on our lists, they are NOT LEGITIMATE and NOT LICENSED.
4. Do your homework. Millions of people are trying to break into showbiz. Be professional and stay ahead. You need to know who the executives are that are currently working on a project. All of our listings consist of currently working professionals. If they are not currently working, they are not listed. Just another way we save you time and money.
5. Study, practice and, then, study more. Take classes, and, then, take more classes. When you get that audition for that dream role, you will need the talent to back it up. Never stop learning and improving.
6. Don’t be afraid to start small. If you are planning on becoming a star and make your living as actor or model: learn your craft by taking smaller roles, doing plays, print work (fashion & commercial), and commercials. All are great things that will give you experience, skills, and credits and pay great money.
7. Be a big fish in a small pond. You don’t have to be in L. A. or N. Y. to be successful. Get a local licensed kid talent agency from our list and build experience locally before hitting N. Y. or L. A.
8. Do commercials. They teach you how to audition, work with kids agents, negotiate, act, work on a set, build your resume and bring income. One national commercial can pay you over $100,000 over two years. If you or your children are really serious get our Lights, Camera, Kid’s video and learn from industry professionals.

TARGETING KIDS AGENTS

* Determine what your interests and needs are and use our kids agents lists and preprinted casting director mailing labels to reach those specific casting agents, talent agents, modeling agents, music agents and dance agents.
* Reach out only to licensed legitimate agents. If they are not on our lists, chances are they will charge you fees and steal your money.

GET INVOLVED

* Take classes. Read books and listen to CD’s. These materials will give you an advantage over the competition.

RESUMES

* Children and babies are not expected to have a resume. However if you have taken classes or have done jobs, let the Casting Directors and Talent Agents on our lists know.
* All resumes are not created equal. Tailor your resume to the specific area of representation in which you are interested (i.e. If you are looking for a commercial agent, list your commercial credits first).
* Always keep your resume current, and remember to include a contact telephone number.
* Voice talent: An audio demo tape should generally not exceed 3 minutes. The purpose of the tape is to display your style, quality and range.

INTERVIEW YOUR KIDS AGENT

* Make the most of the situation. Ask questions. Be polite, but ask questions. The interview process works both ways.
* Remember, your agent works for you and you work for your agent. The ideal relationship will be satisfying and beneficial for both parties.

CHILDRENS HEAD SHOTS AND KIDS MODELING PORTFOLIOS

* Don’t spend money on modeling portfolios or head shots when you are just starting out. Especially with babies and young children. They change too quickly and you will waste your money. Get a nice snapshot and send that out. When you start booking lots of jobs, then make that investment.

Have FUN & BREAK A LEG!
