Theater Of The ELB

Everything Leaks Boutique Where CHAnGE Lives Large

ELB As A Theatrical Metaphor

We build theaters, stages, sets and props.
This includes producing plays created by brilliant
playwrights and performed by stellar actors.

Show-goers consist of the Curious, Studious and

Scholarly who are theater devotees dedicated to
living large by way of a lifetime of learning.

The stages on which our shows are played are

ubiquitous and defined by eternal CHAnGE.

Many readers become stars as they personally

experience beneficial CHAnGE as they acquire
new information and knowledge. All leading to
wisdom that's useful and relevant to their life.

Relentless change coming at the audience from

every point in the universe. Change that never
discriminates and effects everything, everywhere,
all the time. No exceptions.
Since everything leaks, we can say everything is
linked. Connected one way or another.
Surprise often comes when the audience (readers)
are invited to join the actors onstage.
Readers make this transition by becoming
involved in the total experience of the show.

Within the ELB Theater, everything is presented as

an all-media show on any stage (screen) where
the Internet exists.
The characters played are of all ages, sizes,
races, education and walks of life.
Show themes relate to all categorical activities in
which humans participate. Human action that's
heroic or a net subtraction from the sum of
human existence. We call them SALONS.

Worlds that relate to health, work, education,

environment, recreation, relationships, property,
disasters and more.
Shows within shows are onstage together in the
form of videos. Everywhere are beautiful and
exceptional stage graphics and props.
Playwrights write uplifting words about heroic man
or the abject evil lurking in a few.

The audience is invited onstage to answer the call

of Tell Your Personal Story (TYPS).
It's social media where personal stories are
conduits to understanding.
It's now show time. The house lights darken,
the curtain is opened and the show begins.
A farcical play or a surprising musical. Even a
Finnish FUN music video like this:

After one is truly Thunderstruck,

the storm clouds depart and
life begins anew.

CHANnGE!

What's This Thing You Call A New Kind Of Book (ANKOB)?

CREATING ANKOB's [Writing the play.]

SHOW STRUCTURE [Designing the set.]

An ANKOB production begins when any writer

compiles, curates, and arranges important
information and knowledge related to a subject.

Your First Encounter will be Act One.

The result is then created and structured as an

ANKOB. This is when the show comes alive.

Typically, they're about events, history, issues

or problems related to a core theme or subject.
All link to the main topic; a.k.a. the Golden Core.

ANKOB's combine Text + Graphics + Links +

Audio-Video + Social Media into one book.

First Acts are called Satellite ANKOB's.

The Golden Core is about solutions for the issues

discussed in the Satellite ANKOB's.

Consider the ramifications. It's way beyond just

the text and graphics of Johannes Gutenberg and
his printing press. That is so, so yesterday.

At least that's what we try to do with our own

ANKOB's. Other authors may do it differently.

Today, an all-media ANKOB can be experienced

on any screen anywhere and anytime the Internet
exists. Online or offline. Simply amazing.

(For example, an author, blogger or writer can

create Satellite ANKOB's around a core topic of
say recreation or aviation, work, education, etc.)

Act One First Encounter

First Encounter With The ANKOB Kind

Grand Network For A New Kind Of Book (ANKOB)

Blue Dots
As stated, your first
encounter will be with an
ANKOB Satellite. (Act One.)
It contains compelling,
examples and stories
relative to the Golden Core's
main subject and solutions.
Unless created as fiction,
Satellite ANKOB's are about
real-world, events, issues
and problems.

Golden Core
This is the hidden treasure
linking to Satellite ANKOB's.
Nearly everything you read
today is about issues rather
than offering any solutions.
Let's reverse that by
devoting 80%-90% to
SOLUTIONS; not problems.
We gently encourage our
fellow ANKOB creators to do
the same. Audiences love it.

The Concept & Strategy Of The ELB Theater

SATELLITES (Act One)
Story subjects and topics are limitless. We and
our fellow Pro-Creators select only those we
think useful and interesting to you.
Each Satellite travels an orbit where all points
along its path link to the Golden Core. It's like
a Trojan Horse carrying your troops (Core
network of solutions) into the Battle Of
Problems Grand.
Over time, many Satellite ANKOB's will be
launched into orbits around the Golden Core.
Individual books of entertaining real-life
stories, anecdotes and examples where we
describe <whatever> related events, issues
and problems exist for a chosen topic.

Access to our Everything Leaks Boutique

(ELB) is the only thing sold. Once inside
everything digital is free.
Essentially, it's a Cover Charge for entering
the ELB Theater. See Money Changing.

GOLDEN CORE
It's all about SOLUTIONS not rehashing
and regurgitating problems or issues.
A knowledge network built on the idea that
everything leaks (changes) all the time
everywhere. And the decision that something
ought to be done about managing it.
Handle It! This is our own sequentially
published Golden Core project. It contains
insightful and intelligent mind-tools for
adapting, coping and living with CHAnGE.
This is a perpetual project. It will continue as
long as one of us is breathing.

Turning On The Golden Light Of Solutions

A New Kind Of Book (ANKOB)

The Satellite ANKOB's circling this Golden

Core of solutions include the unique personal
experiences described in Tell Your Personal
Story (TYPS) articles by ELB Members.

Act Two: TRANSITION

Act Two is about the transition from Act One to
Act Three. It's usually the shortest act.
This is where ANKOB creators add their
observations and comments about the stories in
Act One. They make the connections (links) to the
Golden Core of solutions in Act Three.
By this time you've noticed we mix metaphors
like a vegetable stew. This is intentional.
One reason is people read (eat) things differently
today than they did the day before yesterday.
They hop and sizzle about a reading pan like
everything is on fire.
Startled by something new, they swoop out of the
Cloud and morph their eyes into bulging wideopen poached eggs of wonder.

It wonders us that we
never know when and
where readers might
want to dine.
So, get used to Ol' Chef
Metaphor Mix; he be
cookin' up a right tasty
pot of stew.
We cover this subject in About Stories & Random
Access Reading (RAR).
Yes, but can you stage a one-act play? Where
everything is in one scene. Yes, we think so.
Poignant Transitions. Changes in lives that matter.
The Death Of A Salesman is a classic example
about the drama of CHAnGE.

The Death Of A Salesman

Act Three
Act Three is all about SOLUTIONS. Previous Acts
are about describing and defining PROBLEMS and
then transitioning to possible solutions.

For that, you need a powerful resource network

of knowledge and wisdom. A network extending
as far as your imagination takes you.

In this final act, we're not talking about sand

castle solutions. You need solid foundations and
strong building materials to research, create and
articulate rational intelligent solutions.

Tell Your Personal Story

Act Three is the most important Act; it contains

the characters that play out the dramatic subplots of solutions for any ensuing drama.
The final act often displays important characters
named Strategies and Tactics. Ways of thinking
that won't break and are guaranteed for life.
The Third Act can also show the philosophy behind
what the actors are doing. It's important since the
star actor in this play is you.

For Readers, this is where you can choose to

become a co-playwright. A Pro-Creator
Write a short personal story for our periodically
published Tell Your Personal Story (TYPS) Blog.
Accepted and curated stories are published with
the authors byline and URL link.
