    UCLA UCLA Electronic Theses and Dissertations Title Doing the Time Warp: Queer Temporalities and Musical Theater Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1k1860wx Author Ellis, Sarah Taylor Publication Date 2013 Peer reviewed|Thesis/dissertation eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Doing the Time Warp: Queer Temporalities and Musical Theater A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Theater and Performance Studies by Sarah Taylor Ellis 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Doing the Time Warp: Queer Temporalities and Musical Theater by Sarah Taylor Ellis Doctor of Philosophy in Theater and Performance Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Sue-Ellen Case, Co-chair Professor Raymond Knapp, Co-chair This dissertation explores queer processes of identification with the genre of musical theater. I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.

  • Wind Symphony
    Wind Symphony DR. RICHARD R. FISCHER, CONDUCTOR The Fred and Jane Wittlinger Chair in Music Performance FALL 2020 PROGRAM REV. DR. JEFFREY LEININGER, UNIVERSITY PASTOR, COMMENTATOR Concordia University Chicago Introduction The world is a very different place than it was just one year ago. In the United States alone, the civil unrest, damaging forest fires and political tension would be enough to make the past year stand out against what many remember as less fraught times. That, of course, is not to mention COVID-19. The coronavirus and its repercussions have affected us in a wide variety of ways—physically, emotionally, economically, spiritually. Each of us has felt these effects to different degrees. You may have lost a family member to COVID, while most others have not. You may have lost a job, while some others are working overtime to meet some new demand. You may be struggling to face each new day, while others seem oblivious to the weight that is so real to you. Given all of that, it is easy to wonder, where is God in all of this? Despite all of that—or rather because of all of that—I am convinced that during this semester at Concordia University Chicago, God’s presence has been felt more strongly than it was in what we now think of as “pre-COVID” times. What is more, I believe that most, if not every student who is about to share their substantial God-given talents and abilities with you would concur. Because of all the unsettling happenings and circumstances around us—and because of the long fast from making music together—we are more thankful than ever before for God’s gift of music to us, for the opportunity to make music together again and to share the Gospel of Christ with you through that music.

Podvia —Carl Sandburg, Chicago The City of Chicago has had its more than its share of murder, mayhem and disaster. All of these happenings attracted national attention; a few resulted in regulations that have improved health and safety. This is a listing of some of the most well-known Chicago tragedies. You might want to visit some or all of these places during your time in Chicago. Several of these are located within walking distance of the AALL Annual Meeting. Some others can be reached via public transportation. Be aware that not all of these locations are open to the public. Federal Regulations Gone Awry: The Sinking of the SS Eastland Chicago Riverwalk between LaSalle and Clark Streets The SS Eastland, a popular Chicago-based excursion boat, was launched in 1902. Known for its speed, the vessel had a design flaw that made it top-heavy. The problem was worsened following the passage of the Federal Seamen's Act in 1915. The act, adopted is response to the RMS Titanic disaster, required the retrofitting of a complete set of lifeboats on the Eastland. The additional weight made the unstable ship even more dangerous.

    Mᴀɴᴅᴀʟᴀ South Asian Performing Arts mandalaarts.org Mandala Arts Mandala South Asian Performing Arts is a MacArthur award-winning organization, founded by Artistic Director Pranita Nayar. From classical to contemporary, Mandala Arts offers audiences an evocative exploration of the dance, theatre and music forms of South Asia. Our performances and productions have a connection to ancient and classical traditions, ranging from the Indian Ocean to the Himalayas, and from Persia to Indonesia. These practices evolve into the lived experiences of diaspora artists. We are dedicated to sharing cultural exchanges and experiences through our Academy, our company performances (Mandala Ensemble), and our outreach programs. Mandala's Ensemble artists bring their far-ranging aesthetics and vocabularies into the work. Mandala Arts has presented work at Chicago Symphony Center, Harris Theater, Logan Center for the Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago, and with Auditorium Theater. Executive Artistic Director Pranita Nayar founded Mandala Arts in 2014, where she serves as Executive Artistic Director. Pranita is a producer, curator, master teacher and choreographer whose work is rooted in South Asian dance forms and their changing contexts within the diaspora. Pranita has been an exponent of Bharatanatyam in the Chicagoland region for over 30 years, and her path has flowed into deconstruction of the movement vocabulary — from gesture to reassemblage. Pranita’s work has received many honors; she has been a Lab Artist with Chicago Dancemakers Forum (2016), received three MacArthur Awards through her leadership in South Asian arts, and is an 11-time recipient of the Master Teacher award given by Illinois Arts Council. Her work has been presented at the Lincoln Center, The Smithsonian Institute, Harris Theater (Chicago), the Olympics (Salt Lake City, 2002), and the MTV VMA’s (Shakira).
