  • Future Bulldogs at West Hills College Lemoore
    Our College Of I’m so proud of our College of Arts and Humanities. Not only does it have the largest enrollment among Fresno State’s academic units, but its alumni and faculty have amassed achievement after achievement, many on the national and international stage. The most recent accomplishment was emeritus professor Philip Levine’s selection by the Library of Congress as the nation’s poet laureate. He adds that to numerous awards for his poetry, including the 1995 Pulitzer Prize. Through the years, the college has become a training ground for artists, actors and musicians who teach and perform; for communicators from journalists and advertising specialists to linguists, poets and novelists; and for philosophers and classicists. At the core of this training are dedicated faculty like Levine, who also enjoy substantial reputations in their fields. Their energy, enthusiasm and sheer ability inspire students to challenge themselves to excel. In this issue, you’ll read about two of those faculty members, hear from current and recent students just getting started in their careers and also from other alumni who have distinguished themselves since leaving campus. Arts and humanities programs have grown and changed from the very beginning of Fresno State’s first century and promise to continue doing so – with even greater distinction – for generations to come.

  • The Sixth Act: an Event History
    The Sixth Act: An Event History 2004-2005 Academic Workshop: The Sixth Act: A New Drama Initiative This workshop will officially launch The Sixth Act, MCC's new Drama Initiative, so in addition to mocking a rehearsal for Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, we also will talk about the initiative and its goals. Everyone interested in drama--for personal, political, artistic, and/or pedagogical reasons-- is invited! Academic Workshop: Mamet, Harassment, and the Stage The workshop will focus on interdisciplinary approaches to a dramatic text, using David Mamet’s provocative, challenging play Oleanna as a case study. Oleanna, which is widely taught and performed, tells the story of a college student who issues a formal sexual harassment complaint against her college professor. The play is difficult in part because it’s difficult to tell which character is the real victim—raising real questions about different forms of power. More than one version of a key scene will be shown and then a group of MCC colleagues from different academic perspectives will offer insight into the text based on their individual backgrounds. The idea is that a single dramatic text can yield multiple readings, and that we all are better equipped to approach a dramatic text when we have a wider understanding of some of these readings. Academic Workshop: "Unpack My Heart With Words": Using Dramatic Techniques to Understand Shakespeare's Language This interactive workshop will help students, teachers, and drama enthusiasts use performance to interpret the multiple dimensions of Shakespeare's words. Academic Workshop: Stagecraft 101: Understanding the Fundamentals of Design This hands-on workshop will familiarize participants with the language of scenic, sound, lighting, costume, and property design-providing important insight into practical as well as metaphoric applications of the stage.
