Candlewood Lake, Theatre Sheridan
Candlewood Lake, Theatre Sheridan
Theatre Sheridan Productions
Inspired by the real Candlewood Lake in the Hudson Valley, a hotbed of UFO activity in the 1980s. This musical follows a UFO-obsessed Cindii who dreams of being abducted by aliens. Under the watchful eye of a sceptical community, she is in search of a reason to stay in town. Asking (and perhaps answering) the big question “Are We Alone?”, Candlewood Lake is an exploration of strength in community and the lengths we go to find meaning and belonging.

This play with music is a dark comedy that begins after an apocalyptic event has left the world void of electricity. Every moment a struggle for survival, people turn to storytelling for entertainment to distract them from the cataclysmic horrors they have endured. Set over the course of 75 years, Mr. Burns explores how stories and myths evolve over time all while recounting the adventures of the most famous family on TV, the Simpsons.

The Grimm family take a trip to Fableburg, which is, at first glance, a quaint, quiet, German town, perfect for writing stories and negotiating film deals...or so we thought. When the Grimms discover a sinister plot of greed permeating through the town, they race to save Fableburg and its inhabitants and must ultimately decide on what really matters to them.

On Gary Snyder’S Tradaptation Of Cold Mountain Poems And Its Spiritual Salvation And Literary Enlightenment In Postwar America, Hu Anjiang
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
Cold Mountain Poems (CMPs), which have been neglected in the history of Chinese literature for ages, captured the attention of most Americans immediately after its being translated into America by the American poet Gary Snyder in 1950s, however. It is Snyder that reconfigured and recreated a sagacious Chinese Chan Buddhist poet Han-shan (literally, Cold Mountain), the acknowledged author of Cold Mountain Poems, in his translation for the postwar Americans in the midst of varied social problems and cultural identity crisis after World War II. Snyder eventually found in his translation of Cold Mountain Poems a back-to-nature remedy of …

Topological Tropology Of V.S. Naipaul’S Islamic Travelogues And Daniel Pipes’ Islamic History: Ahistorical Historicism, Md. Habibullah
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
Nobel laureate V. S. Naipaul’s (1932-2018) first Islamic travelogue Among the Believers: An Islamic Journey (1981) contains his experience of a visit from August 1979 to February 1980 to the four non-Arab Muslim-majority countries – Iran, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Similarly, his last Islamic travelogue Beyond Belief: Islamic Excursions among the Converted Peoples (1998) has a description of another visit to the same countries for five-month in 1995. Concurrently, Daniel Pipes (1949-), an American historian, published his doctoral dissertation, Slave Soldiers and Islam: The Genesis of a Military System (1981), which represents Islamic culture as the first instigator of …
Middleton’S The Witch Costume Design, Sceviour Brianna
Middleton’S The Witch Costume Design, Sceviour Brianna
Honors Program Theses and Projects
This Honors capstone is a costume design for the main characters of Thomas Middleton’s play The Witch. Although it was published in 1778, the play is thought to be written between 1606 and 1620. This places its origin in the Jacobean Era, directly after the Elizabethan Era which ended in 1603.
Active Analysis In The Beginning Acting Classroom, Michael Shipley
Active Analysis In The Beginning Acting Classroom, Michael Shipley
Theatre Arts Faculty Publications
Often, the exercises in the acting classroom can feel at odds with the processes used in the rehearsal room. I believe Konstantin Stanislavsky’s rehearsal method of Active Analysis provides tools and perspectives for dealing with these challenges. At The S Word Symposium in November 2022, I outlined a process I developed for teaching beginning acting using principles of Active Analysis as a tool to bridge the gap between training and rehearsing. This article outlines the experiences and thought processes that went into creating this class structure and reviews the benefits for students. Applied in this way, Stanislavsky’s impulse to place …

Place: New York City & Deadrock Nevada, 1930
Crazy for You®, tells the story of young New York banker Bobby Child, who is sent to Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on a rundown theatre. In Deadrock, Bobby falls for spunky Polly Baker, the theatre owner’s daughter. But Polly takes an instant dislike to the city slicker, so Bobby vows—through cunning, razzmatazz and a hilarious case of mistaken identity—to win Polly’s heart and save the theatre.

Each student will select a class session in which to present a brief (1-2 minute) "fun fact" based on their own research that relates to the time/place being studied. It should be something that is of interest to you, and (hopefully) to the whole class – cultural, political, sociological, scientific, medical…. For example, for the class on Roman Tragedy, the factoid might be about what a citizen in ancient Roman ate for supper! Originality counts.
Due on date of presentation: A one-paragraph description of the fun fact, in your own words, and cite at least one source--that is not Wikipedia. …
Chaos, Damon Stone
Chaos, Damon Stone
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Over the duration of the summer and this past semester, I have revised a story which I wrote in middle school, known as ChAos. The story focuses on fictionalized version of friends of mine from middle school, as they survive a zombie apocalypse together, while bringing down the corporate entity that started it, and dealing with the political aftermath of such an event. Throughout this, I have started work on an audiobook as well, consulting with several different voice actors to help with the project.
Throughout this process, several changes had been done to add to the quality of the …

Fusion Dance: Exploring Identity And Social Possibilities, Katie Taylor
Fusion Dance: Exploring Identity And Social Possibilities, Katie Taylor
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
In this collection of personal essayettes about partner dance, particularly fusion dance, I explore themes of discovering social possibilities, evolving identity, finding connection, healing shame and celebrating joy. Fusion dance, besides being a partner dance, often seems to defy definition, but I sought to capture my experiences of attending fusion events, falling in love with the dance, navigating ups and downs on the path of becoming a dancer and allowing it to transform the way that I view myself and the world. In the interdisciplinary, exploratory spirit of the Honors College, I essay (in the original sense of “to try” …
I Was Crazy Once: An Examination Of Elizabethan Insanity In Shakespeare’S Work, Hope L. Kobus
I Was Crazy Once: An Examination Of Elizabethan Insanity In Shakespeare’S Work, Hope L. Kobus
Belmont University Research Symposium (BURS)
William Shakespeare wrote numerous works, diving into the common motifs of love, revenge, power, but most importantly, madness. While Elizabethan audiences were more accustomed to seeing madness as a ploy for comedy, Shakespeare changed the appeal through shows such as King Lear, Hamlet, and Macbeth. He presents the power and ambition of women, as well as the failings of the upper-class, but he disguised them through the idea of insanity. At a time when the public had little understanding of mental health, it was easy to blame madness on gender, social status, and even the supernatural. Through …

The Power Of Play: Theatre’S Potential For Healing The Wounds Of Capitalism, Danielle Phillips
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
Capitalist hegemony wreaks havoc on the psyche through exploitation, isolation, and encouragement of worry. Actor training offers healing in the ways in which it encourages self value, connection, and mindfulness, therefore serving as a powerful tool for coping with anxiety and depression exacerbated by life under a capitalist system.

Preparing Future Leaders In The Arts Through The Community Arts Engagement Certificate Program: What I Learned From Teaching The First Introductory Seminar, Sharon Davis Gratto
Preparing Future Leaders In The Arts Through The Community Arts Engagement Certificate Program: What I Learned From Teaching The First Introductory Seminar, Sharon Davis Gratto
Research and Reflection on Learning and Teaching in Higher Education
The University of Dayton’s Community Arts Engagement certificate program was recently launched with the teaching of its first introductory seminar. The program and this course were conceived to be broader in scope for arts majors than the more familiar arts administration minor program. Several of the outcomes of the seminar—both those planned and those unforeseen—can be informative in thinking more expansively about experiential learning and community collaboration in arts education or other disciplines. This article represents a narrative description of the program and its introductory seminar and a personal reflection after teaching the seminar for the first time.

Is Ai An Actor?, Emily Wirkus
AI Assignment Library
Students are taught a system of marking scripts and monologues using a series of steps to highlight the flow of action, including shifts in objectives and tactics (what the character wants, and the active language describing how they hope to get what they want). Students are challenged to mark a monologue themselves using these criteria taught in class. Students will then upload their monologue into ChatGPT and ask it to score the monologue using the same criteria. Students will compare and contrast the two monologues and evaluate what ChatGPT created that was useful, and what ChatGPT may have missed. Students …

I used this rubric in class to go over the understanding of Chat GPT and how we can use it for costume design. I emphasized that Chat GPT is generated and not reliable in the search for knowledge but can be used to start the creative process. In my assignment, I have created two random picker wheels that the students use to get a character and a play. They use Chat GPT to give them the summary of the play they were randomly assigned using the voice of the character they were assigned. The goal of the assignment is to …

Re-Examining, Re-Empowering: The Effect Of Contextualizing Testimonial Theatre On Spect-Actors, Felicia Owusu-Ansah
Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed Journal
To be empowered, freed from rejection, silence and trauma, one may have no choice but to speak up. But how does the silenced speak in the presence of the oppressor? At this point, theatre (of testimony) became the most useful tool to break the silence among irregular returnees in Akuma, Ghana. This qualitative study article reports on the healing and empowering effects of Testimonial Theatre on spect-actors during its use for dissemination of research findings to the researched community. It aims to show how Testimonial Theatre’s effects of compassion and empathy led to the resilience of human essence, breaking silence, …

Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed Journal
O artigo é um resumo do livro que sairá em breve onde depois de mais de uma década após a morte de Augusto Boal, pouco se sabe sobre as origens fascinantes do Teatro do Oprimido. O artigo traça o caminho histórico, político e artístico que levou Augusto Boal a desenvolver sua metodologia. Indo desde do início do contato de Boal com o teatro até a sistematização da 1ª técnica do Teatro do Oprimido, o Teatro-Jornal. O autor combina narrativas históricas com uma análise profunda do projeto teórico e prático do Teatro do Oprimido. O artigo não só traz à tona …
Relações Entre Teatro E Política No Trabalho Teatral De Boal No Pós-1964: A Coletivização Do Fazer Artistico Como Expressão Autoconsciente Da Produção Estética, Patricia Freitas
Relações Entre Teatro E Política No Trabalho Teatral De Boal No Pós-1964: A Coletivização Do Fazer Artistico Como Expressão Autoconsciente Da Produção Estética, Patricia Freitas
Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed Journal
Este artigo empreende um olhar histórico sobre o trabalho teatral realizado por Augusto Boal após a instauração da ditadura militar no Brasil, em 1964. Em primeiro lugar, buscaremos compreender como o trauma histórico gerado com o golpe redimensionou a prática artística socialmente engajada no país e colocou em tensão a teoria e a prática produzidas por Augusto Boal. Nessa esteira, este estudo verificou que a reflexão proposta por Boal sobre a cena brasileira possuía um fundo mais amplo e estava embebida em um movimento de crítica cultural, com vistas à criação de um programa de ação estético-política.
Relationships Between Theatre And Politics In Boal’S Post-1964 Theatrical Work: The Collectivization Of Artmaking As A Self-Conscious Expression Of Aesthetic Production, Patricia Freitas
Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed Journal
This essay aims to bring a historical perspective to the theatrical work carried out by Augusto Boal after the establishment of the military dictatorship in Brazil in 1964. The historical trauma generated by the coup re-dimensioned the socially engaged theatrical practice in the country. In Boal's case, it created important contradictions between his theory and practice. Along these lines, this study verified that the reflection proposed by Boal on the Brazilian scene had a broader background and was embedded in a movement of cultural criticism, with the aim of creating an aesthetic and political program of action.
O Mecanismo Da Empatia No Teatro Fórum, Ali Mansouri
O Mecanismo Da Empatia No Teatro Fórum, Ali Mansouri
Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed Journal
Mesmo que o conceito de “empatia” não tenha sido mencionado mesmo nos textos mais recentes sobre performance, sempre houve uma disputa entre os teóricos do teatro em diferentes momentos acerca dos impactos da empatia no público. Embora alguns tenham considerado a empatia como a base do teatro, outros a viam como um terreno perigoso que pode produzir sentimentos inapropriados e prejudiciais no público. Descobertas recentes dos neurocientistas revelaram que a empatia (tanto com personagens fictícios ou reais) é inevitável para os seres humanos, e seu mecanismo inconsciente está presente em qualquer indivíduo mentalmente saudável. Creio que tal habilidade inerente pode …
