"I Have My Coven Now": Transgender Experience In The Central Florida Pagan Community, Alison Whitmore
"I Have My Coven Now": Transgender Experience In The Central Florida Pagan Community, Alison Whitmore
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
This thesis analyzes Transgender experience and dynamics in the Pagan community of Central Florida. Religion plays an important role as part of social structure for many people in the United States. It can also be a source of strife and conflict between culture groups and within cultures. In the US, predominant religious traditions stem from monotheistic Abrahamic faiths (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam); however, Wicca, a Neo-Pagan polytheistic religion, is practiced by a small but growing number of people. Based on nearly one year of ethnographic engagement with the Central Florida Wiccan community, this study presents an analysis of participants experiences …
Combating Performance Anxiety: Reflections Of A Personal Anti-Anxiety Plan For Onstage And Filmed Media, Megan Friend
Combating Performance Anxiety: Reflections Of A Personal Anti-Anxiety Plan For Onstage And Filmed Media, Megan Friend
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
As a performer, I am still challenged with thoughts of anxiety, fear, and premeditated responses. This anxiety often prevents me from exploring choices in the rehearsal room and impedes my character's given circumstances during a performance. It has become imperative for me to explore a new way to approach a role psychologically, emotionally, and physically. I hope to eliminate the persistent problem that occurs in my process; the common gap between mind and body that prevents me from creating a dynamic, holistic performance. This document will examine two vital stages of the development and application of my new process. As …
An Actor Auditions, Jessica T. Johnson
An Actor Auditions, Jessica T. Johnson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
In the fall of 2020, I began one of my most demanding graduate career courses, Audition Techniques. We explored Michael Shurtleff's book, Auditions, to learn about his auditioning techniques. I found early on in this journey that I lacked a consistent approach to auditions. This thesis represents the process of auditioning and will serve as a tool for actors transitioning from the educational theater, seeking to improve confidence in auditioning. In a regional theater audition for the Orlando Shakes, I will evaluate my ability to apply techniques learned in educational theater training, such as Shurtleff's 12 guideposts and ways to …
Water Damage, Rebecca Rowell
Water Damage, Rebecca Rowell
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
This novel explores the nature of good, if flawed, people that are put under intense pressure. Using alternating point-of-view characters, I showed the good and bad parts of Washington, DC and the surrounding area through the eyes of someone that has benefited from privilege and someone that has not. These juxtaposing views change over the course of the novel until both point-of-view characters have become something different than they were at the start, learning humility and trust, respectively. Through the alternating chapters, I wanted to show two viewpoints of the same city and the same set of events, each contributing …

Performing Belvile: Developing A Transformative Method, Brian Wiegand
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
Learning to act is a difficult process, particularly for a young adult who is still discovering the wide variety of human experiences that make up much of dramatic literature. As an actor in training, I have struggled to play characters whose experiences and given circumstances differ from my own. I am not resistant to this idea, I have, however, come to realize that my own personal habits continue to get in the way of making a full transformation into the inner life of the character. As a result, my characters are often similar to one another, even if these characters …
Past, Present, And How To Proceed: Creating My Actor Tool Kit, Joshua Kimball
Past, Present, And How To Proceed: Creating My Actor Tool Kit, Joshua Kimball
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
As theatre graduates walk across the stage and receive their diplomas, the message they hold close to their hearts is "Go forth and act." The next day, week, or month the question becomes very clear, "HOW?" This thesis focuses on a practical problem facing theatre graduates whose goals are pursuing the field of acting professionally. Theatre students are given the basic tools for honing their skills but are unequipped to create a viable, sustainable career in the field. The objectives in this paper are to outline problems actors encounter when attempting to build a career and offer practical advice for …
Negro Leagues And College Football Playoff, Richard C. Crepeau
Negro Leagues And College Football Playoff, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Last week, the Commissioner of Baseball announced that from this point on the Negro Leagues that were operating between 1920 and 1948 would be “elevated” to “Major League status” by Major League Baseball. He added that “MLB is proud to highlight the contributions of the pioneers who played from 1920-1948.” The action was presented as a culmination of the centennial celebration of the founding of the Negro Leagues in 1920. The statistics from those leagues now become a part of the official records.

The Irving Bacheller Essay Contest In Florida History: Historic Landmarks Of My County, John Pikula
The Irving Bacheller Essay Contest In Florida History: Historic Landmarks Of My County, John Pikula
Florida Historical Quarterly
Of the many landmarks of the Halifax country, one of which probably the least is known is the old Bulow Plantation, the remains of which are found near the old King’s Road approximately eleven miles north of the city of Ormond. Owing to the extreme difficulty in gaining access to the place, it is but seldom frequented and consequently little known. But this does not signify its lack of historical value. On the contrary, it is quite the opposite. For it was not only the most extensive plantation ever to exist in the Halifax country, but it also was occupied …

The Defences Of The Floridas: Report Of Captain James Gadsden, Aide-De-Camp To General Andrew Jackson, James Gadsden
Florida Historical Quarterly
This report was secured by Dr. Mark F. Boyd, whom readers of the Quarterly know well, from the original in the files of the Intelligence Division, Engineers Corps, War Dept. Washington. In an early issue of the Quarterly Dr. Boyd will give us a paper on the so-called Negro Fort which will be an introduction to a series of letters written near the site of the fort by Edmund Doyle, trader and representative of John Forbes and Company (successors to Panton, Leslie and Company) to Forbes, and James and John Innerarity, members of that firm (1808-1817).
Early Orange Culture In Florida And The Epocal Cold Of 1835, T. Frederick Davis
Early Orange Culture In Florida And The Epocal Cold Of 1835, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of Ponce de Leon’s ambitions was to grow fruit in Florida that His Majesty, the Emperor Charles V of Spain, might be served therewith, and when he embarked upon his voyage to colonize Florida he carried seeds of all kinds for planting. Probably the orange was included and possibly on the shore of Charlotte Harbor the first orange tree in Florida grew in 1521; or perhaps Narvaez or DeSoto included oranges in his commissariat and left seed here to germinate into trees? These are interesting thoughts; but we turn from speculation to historical record for the following account

The Union Bank Of Tallahassee: An Experiment In Territorial Finance, Kathryn T. Abbey
Florida Historical Quarterly
In view of the recent financial confusion in the United States, similar difficulties of the Florida of a century ago assume more than a passing interest. The problem of self development has always been pressing for Florida; since the days of the purchase from Spain exaggerated claims of economic opportunity have lured the investor sometimes to sound wealth and sometimes, alas, to the reverse. The first Florida boom was launched in 1821 when the United States government set itself the task of raising the five million dollar purchase price from the sale of the lands just acquired. These internal improvement …

Public Education In Spanish St. Augustine, Joseph B. Lockey
Public Education In Spanish St. Augustine, Joseph B. Lockey
Florida Historical Quarterly
A school for white children existed in St. Augustine as early as 1606. Whether it continued to function during the rest of this first period of Spanish dominion is a question that cannot now be answered. But if it did survive, it must have come to a close on the cession of the province to the British in 1763; for the change of sovereignty was followed by a general abandonment of the territory by the Spanish inhabitants. When the Spanish came back twenty years later the British in turn departed. With the restoration of sovereignty went the restoration of the …

This year is the sixtieth anniversary of a sojourn in Tampa by a noted figure in the development of American literary and musical history; for Sidney Lanier, who was later to earn a high place among the poets of America, was for three months a visitor in Tampa, where several of his poems were written and others planned.
