Shakespearemixed a Collection of Scenes by William Shakespeare Gulf Coast State College Division of Visual and Performing Arts Presents ShakespeaREMIXED A collection of scenes by William Shakespeare DIRECTOR’S NOTE Why Shakespeare? Why now? Shakespeare’s language may seem foreign to us, but once the code is cracked we are reminded that human relationships, emotions, dreams and desires have not changed much in the past four hundred years. In Shakespeare’s day, the theatres in London were frequently closed due to outbreaks of the Bubonic plague. We recognize this parallel to our own times and know we are fortunate to be working while so many theatres have been closed. The choice to create this show had both practical and pedagogical considerations. Shakespeare’s works are in the public domain which means we can cut it, rearrange it or modify it any way we choose without having to get permission from the author or publisher. It is also free to produce. All of these things were attractive to me for the flexibility they allowed in producing theatre during a pandemic. We pronounce the title as “Shakespeare Remixed”, but like Shakespeare often did, we chose to create a new word and call our show ShakespeaREMIXED. Our remix is a variant of the original made through rearranging, deletions and additions. By selecting scenes from many plays as opposed to producing just one play, I was able to cast everyone in lead roles and limit the number of people rehearsing together at one time. Casting choices were made to both showcase student strengths and challenge them in areas needing growth. There was no attempt on my part to create a strong narrative arc to the overall show. Hopefully some of the scenes will be familiar to you while others may be less so. Coming into this project the cast and crew had varying degrees of experience with using Shakespeare’s language. Our exploration has been a challenging and rewarding process. Our goal was to eliminate any “Shakesfear” and help the students develop confidence in approaching complex text. Setting Shakespeare in modern dress is nothing new. In our case, the choice was made in an attempt to help illuminate the text and remove one more thing that might make these words seem long ago and far away. In doing that, we also hope to have increased your familiarity, understanding and appreciation of these words. Thank you for joining us today and supporting these students. Your presence completes the theatrical equation. Without an audience, there is no theatre. I am grateful to my colleagues and the entire cast and crew for collaborating on this journey. Special thanks to Commodore Productions for filming and streaming this production to allow us to reach a larger audience. We look forward to the day that we can gather again in larger numbers. Until then, take care and be well. We hope to see you soon.

  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

  • Performance, Migration, and the Middle Eastern Diaspora in the United States
    STAGING BELONGING: PERFORMANCE, MIGRATION, AND THE MIDDLE EASTERN DIASPORA IN THE UNITED STATES Mohamadreza Babaee Tamirdash A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2020 Committee: Angela K. Ahlgren, Advisor Kei Nomaguchi Graduate Faculty Representative Jonathan Chambers Lesa Lockford © 2020 Mohamadreza Babaee Tamirdash All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela K. Ahlgren, Advisor What does it mean to be a Middle Eastern immigrant in the Islamophobic and anti- immigrant context of the early twenty-first century US? How can performance help to construct and make sense of Middle Eastern immigrant identities and their belonging to US society? In “Staging Belonging: Performance, Migration, and the Middle Eastern Diaspora in the United States,” I take on these questions to interrogate facets of “belonging” for Middle Eastern immigrants in a post-9/11 US. I use ethnographic, archival, and performance analysis research methods to examine a range of performances, from the explicitly theatrical to the everyday, to argue that Middle Eastern immigrants use performance tools in aesthetic and quotidian settings to challenge xenophobic and Orientalist meanings of the Middle East while constructing nuanced understandings of Middle Eastern identity in US diaspora. In my attempt to learn about the diasporic formations of Middle Eastern identity through performance, I pay attention to a variety of performance types. In the first chapter, I engage with cultural citizenship theory to study the performance practices of Middle Eastern American theatre companies in producing civic participation opportunities for their target audiences. I focus on the notion of “home” in the second chapter to examine the complicated relationship of Middle Eastern immigrants with their host countries in Saba Zavarei’s travel performance Looking for Tehran (2013) and Mohamad Hafez and Ahmed Badr’s installation Unpacked: Refugee Baggage (2017).

Because it seems so primitive, we tend to react differently to biting than we do to hitting, grabbing or other aggressive acts. Because it is upsetting and potentially dangerous, it is important for caregivers and parents to address this behavior when it occurs. Though it is normal for infants and toddlers to mouth people and toys, and for many two-year-olds to try biting, most do not continue after the age of three. Children bite for many different reasons.
