Some questions for Boom for Real: what tools, what language, what new ways of being together do we have now that we didn’t have then with which to read the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat? How has the work changed (which is also to ask, how have we changed)? And how does the work read us now? Fortuitously a new commission, Purple, is currently on show in the Curve by the ferociously brilliant artist John Akomfrah , who claims Basquiat as an influence. Housing Akomfrah and Basquiat at the same institution changes the conversation. This is a crucial time to look at Basquiat again given major global cultural shifts including the rise of more African- American, Caribbean, Latin American and other diaspora artists and writers; the rise of ’First World’ discourses on diaspora; the rise of intersectional black theories (such as black feminist theory, black queer theory, etc) and new histories of black expressive cultures; the rise of critical theory; the rise of alternative histories of conceptualism; the rise and increasing visibility of black immigrants in North America and Europe; the development of institutional support for the arts outside of North America and Europe (through museums, festivals, prizes, biennials, 3 etc); and the endurance and renewal of anti-colonial and black radical movements that continue to fight institutional racism in all spheres.

    February 24, 2017 President Donald J. Trump the White House United States of America

    February 24, 2017 President Donald J. Trump The White House United States of America Dear President Trump, Since the founding of this country, science has been fundamental to the advancement of sound policy and economic prosperity and innovation. Science improves the lives of Americans, stimulates our economy, advances our understanding of our world, and protects us and our families from harm. As you select advisors that will help you to draft a blueprint for American policy, we urge you to make appointing a Science Advisor an immediate priority. Science is in the DNA of the United States. It plays an integral part in our nation's security, economic growth, public health, and infrastructure. Appointing a Science Advisor quickly will enable the Administration to maximize investments in science and develop a strategic plan that secures America’s leadership in science. The Science Advisor will assist your administration in driving innovation, and provide scientifically sound solutions to the pressing issues facing our nation today; including updating deteriorating infrastructure, combatting health epidemics, providing clean air and water, and securing valuable natural resources and minerals. Appointing a Science Advisor is a smart investment for our nation and for keeping our position as a scientific leader globally. Due to the integral role of the Science Advisor, we urge you to appoint an individual with a strong scientific background who understands the rigorous scientific method, the need for evidence-based science, and who can leverage the collaborative nature of the scientific community and the value of scientific research in shaping America’s future. As supporters of science, we urge you to work with our scientific organizations as you commence the selection process and the important task of advancing America’s scientific enterprise.

    We Are So Excited to Welcome You Back

    WE ARE SO EXCITED TO WELCOME YOU BACK I couldn’t be happier to finally be writing this welcome message to you. It’s been an interesting time since my last one; our centenary came and went; our stage was filled not with performers but emergency food provisions; and our team were meeting colleagues through computer screens rather than greeting guests in our beautiful building. We know it’s been a hard year for everyone else too and we’re so excited to welcome you back to experience the magic of theatre once more with this packed programme. It’s only right that after the 100th year of this local treasure, our first season back should be filled with national ones, so we’re delighted to be welcoming cricketing legend Sir Geoffrey Boycott, much-loved music star Tony Christie and the fantastically funny Jasper Carrott amongst a host of brilliant acts this autumn. Fans of folk and country in particular are in for double delight as both The Shires and Seth Lakeman will be gracing our stage while there are also appearances from Elkie Brooks, Eddi Reader, Lee Mead, Michael Portillo and even the brilliant Jason Manford. Lastly, if you missed our fantastic centenary exhibition on stage this summer, there’s an extra chance to see it and find out about the Palace’s fascinating story at our Heritage Open Day event. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon! Carys Coulton-Jones Theatre Manager YOUR SAFETY We know that many of our guests will still be a little nervous about visiting after so long.

    Andrew Lloyd Webber's Musicals

    MASARYK UNIVERSITY Faculty of Education Department of English Language and Literature ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’S MUSICALS Diploma Thesis Brno 2009 Radka Adamová Supervisor: Mgr. Lucie Podroužková, PhD. 1 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ENTRY Adamová, Radka. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Musicals Brno: Masaryk University, Faculty of Education, Department of English Language and Literature, 2007. Diploma thesis supervisor Mgr. Lucie Podroužková, Ph. D. ANNOTATION This diploma thesis deals with British musical composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and his works. The first part of the thesis introduces Lloyd Webber’s biography, his close collaborators as well as his production company the Really Useful Group and description of all his works. The main part of the thesis is aimed at his musicals Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Jesus Christ Superstar , rather their origin and development, the main plot and their main characters that have many things in common. Both these musicals are based on topics from the Bible. The thesis also deals with the librettos and their translation into Czech. ANOTACE Diplomová práce se zabývá britským hudebním skladatelem Andrew Lloyd Webberem a jeho díly. První část práce seznamuje s Lloyd Webberovým životopisem, jeho blízkými spolupracovníky, stejně jako s jeho produkční společností Really Useful Group a popisem všech jeho děl. Hlavní část práce je zaměřena na muzikály Josef a jeho úžasný pestrobarevný plášť a Jesus Christ Superstar , přesněji řečeno jejich vznik a vývoj, hlavní dějovou linii a jejich hlavní postavy, které mají mnoho společného. Oba tyto muzikály jsou založeny na příbězích z Bible. Práce se také zabýva librety obou muzikálů a jejich překladem do češtiny. 2 I declare that I have worked on this thesis on my own and used only the sources listed in the Bibliography.
