The last time I had choreographed to The Beatles was in 1993 when I did the Summer section of Seasons. I had been waiting for the right time to find the opportunity again and grabbed it that year for our final show of the season. Act One (Innocence) was done during one summer in Ashland, while we were in residence at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. It opens with "Here Comes the Sun," a bright, luminous song reminding us of our adolescence and the dreams and hopes we had when we were young. In fact, the first act is the story of our search for meaning, wonder, fun, friendship and love in the world we are beginning to discover as young adults, and the consequences of making choices, be they right or wrong. It is set in the world of the "hippies" and "flower people" who create a community that experiences the exhilaration of liberation and free love. 2 In Act Two {Decadence), the awareness has definitely changed to one of jaded and corrupted perception. We explore the worlds of altered states of consciousness, influences of the material world and disappointment in our expectations of love. The act culminates with the powerful song "Let It Be." My collaborators on the project were costume designer Barry Doss and lighting designer Laura E. Glover, who helped bring this vision of the 1960s-inspired material to life. Barry also did the fantastic costumes for Carmina Burana and The Planets, and all of you know Laura's beautiful work. She has lit every DK concert since I became Artistic Director in 1991. Oh, and by the way, enjoy the waves of nostalgia as you hear these timeless songs. David Hochoy Now celebrating his 22nd season with the company, Dance Kaleidoscope's Artistic Director is truly an international ambassador. David Hochoy was born in Trinidad, West Indies. After receiving a B. Sc. at McGill University in Montreal, where he began studying for a career as a doctor, he continued his graduate work in theatre earning an M.A. in directing from Penn State.

In 2010, David traveled to Washington D.C. to serve as a panelist for the National Endowment for the Arts. On April 2, 2011, Mayor Gregory A. Ballard declared that date as David Hochoy Day in honor of his 20 years as DK's artistic director and in recognition of his service to the arts in Indianapolis. Most recently he was honored with the 2012 Creativity Award by University High School.

    Social Life and Social Services in Indianapolis Networks During the Gilded Age and Progressive Era KATHERINE BADERTSCHER ABSTRACT: In late nineteenth-century Indianapolis, a group of citizens, united by social networks, dominated the gov- ernance and management of the city’s social services for several decades. The tight-knit network of men and women worked together at the center of social and philanthropic life. Since its inception in 1879, the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (COS) wielded virtual control over social welfare—making it one of the most progressive and powerful philanthropic organizations in the country. An influ- ential coterie of men and women governed, donated to, and volunteered for the COS and many of its sub-agencies. Then, as now, social networks are as essential for us to understand as social entrepreneurs and charismatic leaders. KEYWORDS: Charity Organization Society; social networks; social life; Progressive Era; Indianapolis; philanthropy n nineteenth-century Indianapolis, a group of citizens, united by social Inetworks, dominated the governance and management of the city’s social services for several decades.

    IF WE BUILD IT / THEY WILL COME Working to inspire good design through special events, learning sessions and networking opportunities 2011 NETWORKING / SPECIAL EVENTS Get involved in AIA Indianapolis by attending monthly networking programs, special presentations and events the second Thursday of each month at 5 p.m. AIA Indianapolis meets at interesting venues throughout the Indianapolis metro area. Check out upcoming events at www.aiaindychapter.org. Photo by Betsy Mader Photography “If we build it, they will come.” Yes, the 2010 theme is a take on the famous phrase from the movie, “Field of Dreams,” but it seemed so fitting to set the tone for AIA Indianapolis’ year, as we worked to engage and attract members, get sponsors more involved and leverage programs that would in- spire and encourage great design. In order to meet those goals, the AIA Indianapolis Board of Directors designed a new format with exciting programs and events that members young and old would find interesting, engaging and even entertaining. Immediately following board meetings (on the second Thursday of every month), AIA Indianapolis hosted a program, special event and social networking hour for members and sponsors. This new format took us on the road reminding us of the architectural gems of Indianapolis, such as the Indianapolis War Memorial, the IMA, and the new JW Marriott Hotel and introduced us to de- sign concepts outside our architectural industry, such as the IndyCar Delta Wing. We also recognized and celebrated the design excellence and creativity of our membership with the Architect’s Home Tour and Habitat for Humanity Design Competition.

  • Choosing the Right Path
    MAGAZINE SPRING 2015 The Choosing the right path BUTLER With every pedagogical and strategic decision we make at UNIVERSITY Butler University, we must ask ourselves a crucial question: What will the future of learning look like? Advances in technological quality and access; shifting A MESSAGE demographics; rising educational-delivery costs and student-debt loads; nationwide cuts in public-university from funding; a growing movement among bright young people PRESIDENT to skip the college experience; and the promise of micro- credentialing—among other factors—have forced American JAMES M. universities to recognize that undergraduate education is DANKO in the midst of a profound transformation from which there will be no return. Harvard Professor Clayton Christensen, an expert in disruptive innovation, has asserted that half of all American universities may be bankrupt by 2028. While I view this estimate as high, I do believe that 20 percent is a reasonable prediction. However, I also know that Butler is exceptionally well prepared for this sea change in higher education. As we continue to make thoughtful decisions as a collaborative community, we are ensuring that Butler not only survives for many generations to come, but thrives. In the approaching decades, there will be an ongoing demand among young people and their families for high-quality, traditional, residential undergraduate education. Although the number of schools that offer this campus experience may shrink, those who do it best—including Butler—will succeed. Accordingly, in our Butler 2020 Strategic Plan, we are protecting our University’s unique character by investing in the attributes that define it: outstanding academics within a caring campus community; faculty who are accessible to their students; a commitment to integrate the liberal arts with professional education; learning that emphasizes global perspectives, critical thinking, and meaningful volunteerism; and curricular and extra-curricular programs that prepare graduates for lives of purpose in an increasingly complex world.

Barrows, Ph.D. March 6, 2015 ______________________________ Nancy Marie Robertson, Ph.D. ______________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgments My thanks begin with my doctoral committee. Dwight Burlingame advised me throughout my entire program, chose the perfect readings for me in our dissertation seminar, helped me shape the project, and read each chapter promptly and thoughtfully. His steadfast belief in my scholarship and his infinite kindness have been invaluable. Phil Scarpino and Bob Barrows led the seminars during which my dissertation idea took shape. Nancy Robertson challenged me to look at the work from many different angles and suggested a veritable treasure trove of scholarship upon which to draw. All their questions, comments, guidance, and encouragement have helped my work more than mere words can express. My colleagues in the doctoral program and students in the undergraduate program provided unwavering support as I lovingly talked about my research, “my organization,” and “my time period.” I especially thank Barbara Duffy, who chose the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (1879-1883) for her History of Philanthropy doctoral seminar research project. I enjoyed talking about “our women,” sharing our emerging ideas, swapping sources, and basking in one another’s “Eureka!” moments as we made one connection after another.

Says Arthur W. Shumaker, in his^ HISTORY OF INDIANA LITERA­ TURE: "The Golden age of Indiana literature, the fifty year period from 1871 through 1921, was the era during which the most significant writing was produced, the writing for which Hoosier literature is best known and remembered." A little further on he remarks, "It was the age of famous men and their famous books. In it Indiana, and particu­ larly Indianapolis, became a literary center which in many ways rivaled the East." So, on January 10, 1877, all the omens were propitious for the six citizens of Indianapolis who met at the home of John D. Howfand, clerk of the Federal Court, and organized the Indianapolis Literary Club. They were, in addition to Mr. Howland, the Rev. William Alvin Bartlett, clergyman; George H.
