Chair emeritus of Columbia College Chicago’s Theatre Department and an essential figure in the Chicago arts community, Patinkin passed away on Sept. 21 at the age of 79. Patinkin served as chair and artistic director of the Theatre Department beginning in 1980, a position he held for 28 years. He built the department into what it is today: the largest college theatre department in the U.S. His relationship with The Second City paved the way for the creation of the college’s ground- breaking Comedy Studies program and unique BA degree program in Comedy Writing and Performance.

  • Plot? What Is Structure?
    Novel Structure What is plot? What is structure? • Plot is a series of interconnected events in which every occurrence has a specific purpose. A plot is all about establishing connections, suggesting causes, and and how they relate to each other. • Structure (also known as narrative structure), is the overall design or layout of your story. Narrative Structure is about both these things: Story Plot • The content of a story • The form used to tell the story • Raw materials of dramatic action • How the story is told and in what as they might be described in order chronological order • About how, and at what stages, • About trying to determine the key the key conflicts are set up and conflicts, main characters, setting resolved and events • “How” and “when” • “Who,” “what,” and “where” Story Answers These Questions 1. Where is the story set? 2. What event starts the story? 3. Who are the main characters? 4. What conflict(s) do they face? What is at stake? 5. What happens to the characters as they face this conflict? 6. What is the outcome of this conflict? 7. What is the ultimate impact on the characters? Plot Answers These Questions 8. How and when is the major conflict in the story set up? 9. How and when are the main characters introduced? 10.How is the story moved along so that the characters must face the central conflict? 11.How and when is the major conflict set up to propel them to its conclusion? 12.How and when does the story resolve most of the major conflicts set up at the outset?

  • Backstory-The Gospel Told As Story
    BACKSTORY-THE GOSPEL TOLD AS STORY BACKSTORY LIFE@LARGE REVISITED Backstory is the new and revised version of Life@Large. We took all the best elements of the original version, simplified it, clarified it, and made it highly intuitive to use and wonderfuly visual to look at. The result is a very simple, very graphic, very clear presentation of the gospel message. Here is the opening premise: There are seven billion people in the world. Seven billion stories. And yet there are themes in our stories that are universal: betrayal, love, romance, redemption, sacrifice . The question is if there’s a larger story or narrative to which all our stories relate, one that makes sense of our shared experience—a common Back Story. The booklet goes on to explain the backstory which, of course, is the gospel: 1) Intimacy: God created us to know him 2) Betrayal: Humanity rebelled and sin seperated us from him 3) Anticipation: The Scriptures promise of a coming Deliverer 4) Pursuit: The coming of Christ 5) Sacrifice: Jesus’ death and resurrection 1 6) Invitation: God invites us to return to him 7) Reunion: The age to come—judgment and eternal life. As you can see, Backstory provides a broader more comprehensive BACKSTORY explanation of the gospel and thus a more compelling case for Christ.

Multimedia is a catch-all term for various technologies. As the reputation for instructional effectiveness of multimedia has grown, the demand for a digital form of multimedia has in-reased, particularly as the limitations of analog multimedia becomemore apparent. Essentially, digital video interactive (DVI) forms transform and compress analog information into digital information representing sound and video. The advantages have been accepted for some time, especially in terms of being able to communicate over computers. The technical aspects of compression to digitize video and other facets of production are sketched. Optical data disks (CD-ROM) are the perfect vehicle for distributing applications and DVI files because of their large storage capacity and the fact that filescan be played back at a convenient rate. The International Business Machines (IBM) ActionMedia II adapter is used to decompress and play back DVI video and audio. Other options with this adapted and related software are reviewed.

On a business trip to Cincinnati, where he's scheduled to speak at a convention of customer service professionals, Michael checks into the Fregoli Hotel and meets Lisa Hesselman (Jennifer Jason Leigh), a socially awkward sales rep from Akron who may or may not be the love of his life. From Charlie Kaufman (writer, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, ADAPTATION, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, director, SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK), and Duke Johnson comes a darkly comedic and surreal stop-motion journey into the mind of a man whose dark night of the soul becomes a Kafkaesque — make that Kaufmanesque — nightmare. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION The first animated film directed by Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson began its life as a play in 2005, as part of composer Carter Burwell's adventurous Theater of a New Ear project, bringing together Academy Award®-winning writer- directors Charlie Kaufman and Joel & Ethan Coen for a double-bill "sound play," performed in New York, London and Los Angeles. For these performances, Burwell — who wrote the score for Kaufman penned screenplays’ BEING JOHN MALKOVICH and ADAPTATION and many of the Coen Brothers' films — assembled a chamber ensemble, performing live accompaniment alongside Foley artist Marko Costanzo's sound effects, as Kaufman's "Hope Leaves the Theater," starring Hope Davis, Peter Dinklage and Meryl Streep, and the Coens' "Sawbones" unfurled on a barren stage with actors reading their lines from stools in the style of old-time radio plays.

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Perspectives of Women Victims of Wealthy Batterers: Is Justice Served? By Diana Bruns Southeast Missouri State University, United States Abstract- While domestic violence occurs in all demographical realms (races, ethnicities, classes, educational levels), research has been limited regarding wealthy batterers. Although domestic abuse is more visible in lower-class communities, abuse in high socio-economic classes remains hidden. Qualitative data from 12 survivors of wealthy and/or affluent batterers defined asupper middle class or upper class examines perspectives of victims of wealthy batterers to investigate if and how such victims face injustices due to the batterer’s wealth and prominence in the communities in which they live. As additional research is conducted on wealthy batterers, police, prosecutors, and judges may provide better treatment and protection, as they too, will become better prepared in dealing with wealthy and powerful batterers and minimize injustices or prejudice to toward the victims.
