What changes are needed in Waldorf high schools today? • First, the Project has invited leading teachers and international experts in Waldorf educa- tion to take part in three-day colloquia around the country on the Waldorf high school curriculum, specifically on the teaching of chemistry, history, mathematics, and move- ment (eurythmy and spacial dynamics), environmental sciences, and computer science. Further colloquia are planned in literature and the arts. Proceedings from these colloquia are being published so as to benefit the broadest possible range of Waldorf high school teachers. • Some 30 veteran teachers from across North America have undertaken original research in topics related to Waldorf high school issues and the needs of teenagers today. • The Project sponsored a large-scale research conference in Andover Massachusetts, October 18-22, 2001, on the theme of adolescent development and the Waldorf high school program. • The Committee planned the North American Waldorf Teachers Conference in Kimberton, Pennsylvania June 2002 on the theme “Ascending the Developmental Staircase” covering kindergarten through high school. Over four hundred teachers attended. A publication of the lectures has been printed. 7 WHSRP Mission Statement Formed in August 1998, the Waldorf High School Research Project is charged with strengthen- ing the Waldorf high school movement by creating an updated picture of adolescents today and stimu- lating curriculum development within the Waldorf high schools. As a designated committee of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA), the Planning Group of this project is specifically responsible for • identifying and articulating changes in the needs of North American teenagers • formulating research questions concerning adolescence; commissioning qualified educa- tors and other professionals to undertake research into these questions • sponsoring subject colloquia as well as conferences on adolescent development and needs for those working in Waldorf high schools • preparing North American conferences for those working in Waldorf high schools – to share and deepen research; to stimulate dialogue; to activate meaningful change for youth in the twenty-first century • developing publications and other media resources to assist those working in Waldorf high schools • stimulating Waldorf high school educators to examine and strengthen their programs • seeking funds to support the commissioned research, colloquia, publications, confer- ences, and follow-up initiatives in the Waldorf high schools in coordination with AWSNA Development in line with the overall AWSNA priorities. 8 Colloquium on Symptomatology 9-12 March 2000 Purpose: To explore a symptomatological approach to the study and teaching of the humanities in the Waldorf high schools of North America. Goals: To invite experienced Waldorf high school humanities teachers for a three-day colloquium in March 2000. Participants will bring to this colloquium prepared vignettes of the Ancient Egyptian and Medieval/Renaissance historical periods, as well as connections between these two historical epochs and modern times. By ‘”vignettes” is meant living moments in history of an event, encounter, individual, group, invention, literary work, experience, or artifact which reveal the changing consciousness of that time, place, or culture. By means of a round-table conversation we will begin to articulate a symptomatological ap- proach to the teaching of the humanities. The colloquium will include exercises in drama. Results of this conversation will be circulated among all North American Waldorf high schools for further suggestions. These will be incorporated into a published monograph on symptomatology. Participants: Karl Fredrickson (Green Meadow), Douglas Gerwin (Center for Anthroposophy), Meg Gorman (San Francisco), Anne Greer (Toronto, retired), Eric Philpott (Toronto), David Sloan (Green Meadow), Betty Staley (Rudolf Steiner College), John Wulsin (Green Meadow). Henry Barnes (emeritus) and Jim Staley (Sacramento) were invited but unable to attend due to health issues. Schedule: 9-12 March 2000: Colloquium in Spring Valley, New York. Start with shared supper Thursday at 7:00 p.m., continue all day Friday and Saturday (three sessions per day), finish by lunchtime Sunday. Thursday 9 March 7:00 p.m. Shared supper 8:30-10:00 Session I: Vignettes on “Ancient Egypt and the Collapse of the Old Mysteries”

    9/5/2011-4/21/2012. Letters from a Danceaturg. Neil Baldwin to Lori Katterhenry. No.1 - September 5, 2011 Dear Lori: I am grateful to Ryoko Kudo, Maxine Steinman and our MSU dancers for opening the doors to the studio in Life Hall last week and welcoming me to sit in on three sessions of the setting of excerpts from There is a Time (1956) by Jose Limon. They worked on “Opening Circle,” “Plant and Reap,” “Mourn,” “Laugh and Dance,” and “Hate & War.” Reviewing and editing my on-site notes, I recalled a helpful observation by Doris Humphrey in The Art of Making Dances with regard to this work. She writes, “There is a Time states its thematic material in the opening section and builds all the rest of its many parts on variations of the same movements. Unfortunately, this escapes most people; what they see is a suite form, contrasted ideas of dramatic or lyric significance. This is because the eye is not sufficiently trained to remember movement themes, and will usually miss them completely.” Indeed, the fact that the original title of There is a Time was Variations on a Theme came through powerfully during these sessions. Ryoko’s precisely-planned and at the same time intuitively- executed method was the embodiment of Limon’s preliminary concept notes for the dance, when he said that “the community…form[s] a very close circle which pulsates symbolizing an ovum or womb in travail…[T]he large circle…symbolize[s] time – the great continuity – eternal, unbroken…without hurry and without end.” I was also mindful of a point that Carla Maxwell made in an interview with The New York Times ten years ago about classic modern dance: “What's indispensable is a consistent point of view that relates to the times,'' she said.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Unisa Institutional Repository Cole Porter: the social significance of selected love lyrics of the 1930s by MARILYN JUNE HOLLOWAY submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject of ENGLISH at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR IA RABINOWITZ November 2010 DECLARATION i SUMMARY This dissertation examines selected love lyrics composed during the 1930s by Cole Porter, whose witty and urbane music epitomized the Golden era of American light music. These lyrics present an interesting paradox – a man who longed for his music to be accepted by the American public, yet remained indifferent to the social mores of the time. Porter offered trenchant social commentary aimed at a society restricted by social taboos and cultural conventions. The argument develops systematically through a chronological and contextual study of the influences of people and events on a man and his music. The prosodic intonation and imagistic texture of the lyrics demonstrate an intimate correlation between personality and composition which, in turn, is supported by the biographical content. KEY WORDS: Broadway, Cole Porter, early Hollywood musicals, gays and musicals, innuendo, musical comedy, social taboos, song lyrics, Tin Pan Alley, 1930 film censorship ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should like to thank Professor Ivan Rabinowitz, my supervisor, who has been both my mentor and an unfailing source of encouragement; Dawie Malan who was so patient in sourcing material from libraries around the world with remarkable fortitude and good humour; Dr Robin Lee who suggested the title of my dissertation; Dr Elspa Hovgaard who provided academic and helpful comment; my husband, Henry Holloway, a musicologist of world renown, who had to share me with another man for three years; and the man himself, Cole Porter, whose lyrics have thrilled, and will continue to thrill, music lovers with their sophistication and wit.

Boletín53 Editorial Apreciado Socio/a, Este Boletín, está conformado por un interesante Dossier sobre Agroho- meopatía. Ha sido por casualidad que podamos contar con el profesor Radko Tichavsky, una de las personas que más está contribuyendo al desa- rrollo de la homeopatía para los cultivo y para las plantas. Creemos que es un profesional con unas ideas que van muy en la línea que seguimos en la escuela; y, además, es un tema poco desarrollado a nivel bi- bliográfico. Es por esta razón, que estamos muy contentos de poder contar con la posibilidad de organizar un Seminario sobre Holohomeopatía para la Agricultura, los próximos 23 y 24 de Julio. Estamos seguros que será una buena oportunidad de conocer a este maestro. Esperemos que nos pueda aclarar las dudas sobre la utilización de los remedios homeopáticos para la mejora y el rendimiento de las plantas. Hemos incluido también la biografía del matrimonio Kolísko. Fueron discí- pulos de Rudolf Steiner, pionero en la utilización de los remedios homeopá- ticos para las plantas; sus ideas de biodinámica son aún, hoy en día, de máxima actualidad. Los estudios de los austriacos Eugen y Lili Kolísko, y, posteriormente, de cientos de investigadores más, marcaron una línea científica en agrohomeopatía. Reciban un saludo.

    A SPACE FOR CONNECTION: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL INQUIRY ON MUSIC LISTENING AS LEISURE by JOSEPH ALFRED PATE IV (Under the Direction of Corey W. Johnson) ABSTRACT This polyvocal text leveraged Post-Intentional Phenomenology (Vagle, 2010) to trouble, open up, and complexify understanding of the lived leisure experience (Parry & Johnson, 2006) of connection with and through music listening. Music listening was foregrounded as one horizon within the aural soundscape that affords deeply meaningful and significant experiences for many. Past scholarship within the Leisure Studies literature has primarily attended to the impact and relevancy of music in the lives of adolescents. This study focused on engagement with music of five adults, accessing phenomenology as both a philosophical and methodological lens to look along (Lewis, 1990) this lived-experience. Using multiple voices and styles of representation, this polyvocal work challenged traditional ways of knowing by inviting listening, music, and voice to serve as additional data embedded throughout its discursive representation. Accessing Bachelard‟s (1990) phenomenology of the resonation-reverberation doublet revealed five partial, fleeting, and tentative manifestations (Vagle, 2010) of this lived leisure experience, which included: Getting Lost: Felt Resonation and Embodiment; I‟m Open: Openness, Receptivity, and Enchantment; Serendipitous Moments; The Found Mirror: Oh There You Are; and Cairns and Echoes: The Lustering Potency of Song. Ultimately, music appeared to speak to so as to speak for participants, providing musical affirmation and sustenance throughout their lives.

Conclusion: Suggestions for Further Work (Rudolf Steiner) 2 Dirk Rohde, Marburg Waldorf School, Christmas 2013 Introduction to the Waldorf Chemistry Reader I General Notes Chemistry is a very exciting and interesting science that is highly relevant to each one of us. In health and illness, in medicine and nutrition, in all sorts of technological aspects, in global climate issues, in space travel – almost everywhere we look, we encounter not only the many possible positive applications of various directions in chemistry but also the risks they entail, which must not be overlooked. Chemistry, therefore, is included in all school curriculums today as a matter of course. By exposing young people to multiple points of contact with this important science and introducing them to its very fluid reasoning, Waldorf schools aim to empower their students to deal with the subject of chemistry as self-reliant, discriminating personalities.
