Lisäjännitystä MTV:n syyskauteen tuo MTV Europe Music Awards 2009, jota vietetään viides päivä marraskuuta. Tänä vuonna näyttävä gaalatunnelma loihditaan Berliiniin. Musiikki on MTV:n sielu ja sydän ja syksystä onkin tulossa musiikintäyteinen. Musiikkivideoiden lisäksi MTV World Stagella päästään seuraamaan tasokkaita live-keikkoja. MTV:n kaikkien aikojen nuorin musiikkipäällikkö Axl Smith pitää huolen siitä, että musiikki ylittää kuulijoiden vaatimukset. Musiikkilistat päivittyvät kaiken aikaa ja kanavalla soi paljon uutuuksia, jotka hivelevät kuulijoiden korvanystyröitä. Musiikkimaailman villeimpiä uutuuksia, artisteja ja videoita esittelee Spanking New, joka tarjoilee katsojille kuumimmat, vielä pinnan alla porisevat hitit nyt joka päivä. - Soittolistamme syntyvät omissa käsissämme, mistä olen ylpeä. Muistan itse MTV:n yhteisöllisenä mediana, joka esitteli kuumimmat musiikkiuutuudet ja tavoitteenani on säilyttää se sama fiilis myös tämän päivän MTV:llä. Olen saanut huippuduunin, jonka koen positiivisella tavalla haasteellisena, kertoo MTV:n musiikkipäällikkö Axl Smith. Music Televisionin syksy on myös täynnä viihdettä sekä vauhtia ja vaarallisia tilanteita. Siitä pitävät huolen kanavalla käyntiin pyörähtävät ohjelmauutuudet -

In this scene from Julius Caesar, the varied responses of the crowd members to Caesar’s death give the scene more depth. One can see Mark Antony, played by Al Pacino, judging the crowd’s mood and planning how to manipulate it. cting is a question of absorbing other Apeople’s personalities and adding some of our own experience. —PAUL NEWMAN, ACTOR 96 096-157 CH04-861627 12/4/03 12:02 AM Page 97 SETTING THE SCENE Focus Questions What special terminology is used in acting?

Vocabulary emotional or straight parts master gesture subjective acting character parts inflection technical or objective acting characterization subtext leading roles primary source substitution protagonist secondary sources improvisation antagonist body language paraphrasing supporting roles So now you’re ready to act! For most students of drama, this is the moment you have been waiting for. You probably share the dream of every actor to create a role so convincing that the audience totally accepts your character as real, for- getting that you are only an actor playing a part. You must work hard to be an effective actor, but acting should never be so real that the audience loses the theatrical illu- sion of reality. Theater is not life, and acting is not life. Both are illusions that are larger than life. -

From Designing in Protected Environment to Designing in Real Contexts Piloting Digital Services for Elderly Independent Living
From designing in protected environment to designing in real contexts Piloting digital services for elderly independent living. Daria Cantù*, Francesca Rizzo**1 * Politecnico di Milano, Department of Design, [email protected] ** Politecnico di Milano, School of Design, [email protected] Abstract: In the last decade the role of designers is moving from designing a product or service to facilitating and leading participatory processes due to the changing social and economic conditions and the emerging of new social needs. This is true for example in projects that aims to boost a kind of societal change that affects people behaviours in their everyday life. On this assumption relies Life 2.0, a European Project whose aim is to prototype and pilot a digital social network service dedicated to 65+ years old people to improve their social relationships, their independent living and their role in the society as agents and sources for new social services. The paper discusses how design methods and competences are applied in the development of this project, eliciting the lessons learnt especially from the piloting phase, where the Participatory Design approach played a major role. The paper starts by introducing the topic and discussing the role of Design and Participatory Design in leading these projects typologies; then the Life 2.0 project and its development process are described; finally the project experience is discussed providing guidelines for piloting digital services in a real context of use. The paper concludes reflecting on the designers’ role and competences applied. Key words: Participatory Design, Services Prototyping, Piloting 1. Introduction In the traditional product design context the designers’ task has been clear: creating aesthetic and functional solutions that can be manufactured and that have novel and innovative ideas in them. -
