Harmful Vs Helpful: A Gen-Z View On Dance Fitness​, Peyton Winsett, Sarah Maloney

Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters

Having experienced the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic as GenZ, this research is a means to explore a topic that is relevant to current collegiate dance students and their studies. With the increase in fitness media influencers during the mass isolation periods of the Pandemic, many dancers gravitated toward these unique forms of cross-training.

This study includes an exploration of the validity of these exercises and the frequency of use within the dance community. These topics will be explored …

Behind The Scenes: Shining A Spotlight On Veiled Theatre Workers, Ariel Bradshaw Nov 2023

Behind The Scenes: Shining A Spotlight On Veiled Theatre Workers, Ariel Bradshaw

Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters

My thesis aims to highlight traditionally underrepresented theatre artists. I wish to dive deeply into the many backstage, or “veiled” workers, who continue to go unacknowledged. Why is there an aspect of “veiled” theatre created to stay hidden? Even in technical theatre, some specialties receive more credit or recognition than others. For example, the Tony Awards offer categories for direction, sound, light, costume, and scenic design, yet no award for stage management. How are institutions working to create more representation in an intentionally hidden space? This project will specifically focus on the representation of stage managers, arguably the most invisible …

La Teoría Del “Generolecto” Observada En La Llamada De Lauren De Paloma Pedrero Y Entre Villa Y Una Mujer Desnuda De Sabina Berman, Thomas Tsai

Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters

Created and popularized by Deborah Tannen, the Genderlect Theory explains how through social contexts, men and women have different ways of communicating. According to Tannen, men focus more on status, while women focus more on forming connections. On the other hand, there is also machismo, the behavior and attitude men partake to show that they are “manly” or “superior” to women and others they deem as inferior. Through the literary theatrical works, "La llamada de Lauren" by Paloma Pedrero and "Entre Villa y una mujer" desnuda by Sabina Berman, we can see similarities and differences in the Genderlect Theory and …
