HEAVY BREATHING of a boy who awaits to be brought on stage. EMINEM'S "TILL I COLLAPSE" plays. FADE IN. DREAM SEQUENCE INT. AUDITORIUM - NIGHT It's dark backstage. JAKE, 17 and short, breathes heavily and jitters behind the curtains. He wears a hoodie over his head similar to a boxer whose about to enter a ring. The song kicks it up a notch when a low rumbling of GUITARS and DRUM thumps build up. A hear thumping rhythm develops. The crowd outside sings along with the backing vocals. YO LEFT... YO LEFT... YO LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT! Jake looks down at his SCUFFED UP NIKE'S to catch light underneath the curtains hitting it. The song jumps into the beat with no raps. BOOM, BOOM, CLAP! BOOM, BOOM, CLAP! The rowdy crowd outside STOMPS and CLAPS along the beat. Jake realizes a corded microphone wrapped around his wrist. He holds it tightly in his grasp. The curtains split apart to reveal a blinding spotlight beaming at his face. Jake turns away. The song cuts out abruptly. The crowd disappears. Complete silence. Jake peeks and sees nothing but empty space. Perplexed, he removes his hood. He wants to speak through the microphone but realizes it's no longer in his hand. Instead he finds a black bandanna wrapped around his wrist. The spotlight ahead of him moves sporadically at every direction. 1 HELICOPTER PROPELLERS crescendo over Jake. Wind gushes on his face. END OF DREAM SEQUENCE CUT TO: INT. SILVERLAKE HOME - DAY A suburban house in Silverlake. It's surrounded by palm trees and a steel gate surrounds it. Jake awakens to the helicopters hovering outside his window. He looks at his alarm clock. It's 4:56 AM. He drags himself off. Jake opens the blinds and reveals POSTERS OF HIP HOP LEGENDS plastered on his wall. JAKE Let's drop the beat shall we? He turns on the radio. "BIG BOY'S NEIGHBORHOOD" plays while he does his daily push-ups. Various letters from prestigious colleges scatter across his desk. A framed picture of him and his Father smiling happily displays above the letters. A decathlon medal hangs from the picture. Jake finishes and heads for his closet. He slides it open to find a black bandana hanging from a hook. He takes a long pause, then grabs the black jeans nearby. INT. BATHROOM - LATER Jake appears clean and decked out like he was straight out of a Levis ad. His WRIST begins to shake. He panics for a moment, then opens the mirror cabinet to grab a prescription pill case. He takes a blue pill out and gulps it down. INT. LIVING ROOM - MORNING Jake's little brother, Peter, an 13 year old walking talking encyclopedia, sits in front of the TV screen. We only focus on his facial expressions. Jake enters and kneels beside him. JAKE You ready to head out buddy? 2 PETER Yeah sure, let go get my stuff. Peter reluctantly stands up revealing to us an ARM SLING with a CAST underneath it. Jake's cheery mood recedes. INT. HALLWAY Jake struts across the hall with his backpack over his shoulders. He hears a fuss in his parent's bedroom along the way. Jake leans closer to their door. INT. PARENT'S BEDROOM Jake's parents, MARY ANN and DAVID, both on their 40s, stand toe to toe in the middle of the room. MARY ANN Just give him time, hun. Maybe he doesn't know-- DAVID Doesn't know what? He's throwing away everything we've worked for, everything I worked for! David storms to the door with disgust. DAVID (CONT'D) He's going to become a bum like his Uncle! INT. HALLWAY Jake stands in the hallway with his back against the wall. His Father steps out and glares at him. Jake can't look him in the eye. DAVID (CONT'D) You got something to say for yourself? Jake fidgets and barely shakes his head. His Father towers over him then marches away. Jake looks up again to find his Mother inside giving him a reassuring smile. Jake tugs on his bag and looks off. INT. JAKE'S CAR - DAY Jake owns a RED RUNDOWN '92 FORD TEMPO. The mesh seats have rip marks like a dog chewed through them. A rosary hangs from the rearview mirror. 3 Jake and Peter hop in. JAKE Are you ready ride? Jake starts the ignition. He puts a cassette player with an aux cord into the car's stereo system. He jacks in his CD player. TUPAC's "SHORTY WANNA BE A THUG" bumps through the speakers. JAKE (CONT'D) Yeah buddy, that's what I'm talking about. Peter rolls his eyes and shakes his head to the side. They take off. EXT. SUNSET JUNCTION - DAY The strip is a unique place where indie clothing stores and cafes stand side by side. The LOCALS walk carefree in the streets and sit happily in front of the establishments sipping their lattes. Jake swerves his Tempo around the corners with the windows rolled down. Locals gaze awkwardly at him as he attempts to rap along Tupac's lyrics. JAKE (CONT'D) I TELL YOU IT'S A COLD WORLD, STAY IN SCHOOL/ YOU TELL ME ITS A MAN'S WORLD, PLAY THE RULES (Offbeat) AND FADE FOOLS... Jake gets this far into the lyrics, then starts mumbling gibberish. Peter picks up where Jake fades off and shows his rap skills. Peter I'M SITTING GETTING BUZZED/ LOOKING FOR SOME LUV FROM THE HOMIES... Jake smiles and gives Peter a brotherly nudge. JAKE & Peter CUZ SHORTY WANNA BE A THUG! Jake gets off the strip and turns into a hillside residential area. EXT. HILLSIDE - DAY 4 The sun don't shine on this side of Silverlake. Only rows of pale concrete houses with lawns as torn as Jake's car seats. Jake comes to a stop sign with the initials "HKZ" written underneath it with a thick marker. Across the street, a GANG OF HISPANIC TEENS sporting dark sunglasses and white tees gather on the corner. They mess with an enraged PITBULL behind a chain- link fence. Jake glances at Peter's broken arm and starts to breathe like a dragon. The Pitbull BARKS. Peter notices Jake's mood. Peter Hey. Jake grips his steering wheel harder as he sees one of the members poking the pitbull with a TWIG. The Pitbull WHINES while each hispance member smiles disgustingly. Inside Jake's head, he hears a faint cry of Peter screaming his name. Peter (CONT'D) Big Bro? Jake grits his teeth as the Pitbull fights back and bites the twig off their hands. Peter waves his hand at Jake's face. Jake remains transfixed. Peter cranks up the BASS from the car stereo. Peter (CONT'D) (to himself) This should bring you back. Inside Jake's head, he hears his HEARTBEAT thumping along a rhythm. Jake snaps out of his trance as the TUPAC song fades in. Jake sees his brother's concern and regains composure. JAKE Sorry, I was just a little bit caught up in the moment. Peter Hey man, its okay. Where we need to be is just over this block. JAKE But those guys... 5 Peter Don't let them get to you. Sometimes you have to look through them. (beat) Not at them. Jake takes one last glance then drives on through. EXT. MIDDLE SCHOOL - DAY Orange paint covers the buildings. A mascot of a LION winks happily on the side of it. Hyperactive kids run inside. Jake pulls up in front. INT. JAKE'S CAR Peter staggers to get out. Jake helps him with his things. Before Peter leaves, he extends his fist to Jake. Peter Take it easy. Jake bumps his fist with his. JAKE Go hard. Jake takes a moment to watch Peter walk up the STEPS. SIRENS echo from the distance. Jake sees a police car speeding from the rearview mirror and zips right passed him. A CHIRP BEEP comes from Jake's cell phone like a walkie-talkie. NELSON (V.O.) Ayo J? Where you at? Jake chuckles and chirps back. JAKE I'm on my way. EXT. BACK ALLEY - DAY An alley behind a liquor store in the hills. A TERRITORIAL TAGGING OF A GANG 6 plasters all over the wall. NELSON, 17, huge and overweight, tip toes in front of the marking with a Krylon spray can at hand. Jake's tempo parks in distance facing downhill towards Nelson. INT. JAKE'S CAR Jake shuts off his engine. He spots Nelson, then shakes his head.

    Bulletproof Radio, a State of High Performance. Dave Asprey

    Bulletproof Radio #729 Announcer: Bulletproof Radio, a state of high performance. Dave Asprey: You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey. Today's episode is going to be a ton of fun because we're going to talk about psychedelics. We're going to talk about stress. We're going to talk about anxiety. And we're going to talk about vibrations. And no, I don't mean like having good vibes, although we'll probably talk about that too. I mean the kind of vibrations that physically affect your mitochondria, your cells, even your nervous system and things like that. Dr. Dave Rabin is a neuroscientist, board-certified psychiatrist, health tech entrepreneur, inventor, researcher, and a guy who's in clinical practice specialized in mental health disorders that are resistant to treatment, things like PTSD, things like substance abuse. And he's looked at chronic stress in humans for more than a decade and has some really good ideas on what we can do about it. So if you're ready to go deep, let's go. Dr. Dave, welcome to the show, Dr. David Rabin: Thank you so much for having me, Dave. It's a pleasure to be here. Dave Asprey: Dave. You're a weird guy. You studied psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, motivational interviewing, oh, and ketamine assisted psychotherapy, medication assisted psychotherapy and things like that. As well as, we're going to get into it later, the Apollo Neuro, the device that uses vibrations to hack the nervous system. It's pretty esoteric and pretty wide ranging.

    Whose Art Is It? - The New Yorker 2/8/16, 11:06 AM Save paper and follow @newyorker on Twitter In the South Bronx DECEMBER 21, 1992 ISSUE Whose Art Is It? BY JANE KRAMER t could be argued that the South Bronx John Ahearn PHOTOGRAPH BY DUANE bronzes fit right into the neighborhood MICHALS —that whatever a couple of people said about bad role models and negative Iimages and political incorrectness, there was something seemly and humane, and even, in a rueful, complicated way, “correct,” about casting Raymond and his pit bull, Daleesha and her roller skates, and Corey and his boom box and basketball in the metal of Ghiberti, Donatello, and Rodin and putting them up on pedestals, like patron saints of Jerome Avenue. John Ahearn, who made the statues, says that he thought of them more as guardians than as saints, because their job was ambiguous, standing, as they did for a couple of days last year, between the http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1992/12/21/whose-art-is-it Page 1 of 47 Whose Art Is It? - The New Yorker 2/8/16, 11:06 AM drab new station house of the city’s 44th Police Precinct and what is arguably one of its poorest, saddest, shabbiest, most drug-infested, AIDS-infected, violent neighborhoods. John himself is ambiguous about “ambiguous.” He says that when the city asked him to “decorate” the precinct he thought of the Paseo de la Reforma, in Mexico City, with its bronze heroes—a mile of heroes. He thought that maybe it would be interesting—or at least accurate to life on a calamitous South Bronx street, a street of survivors—to commemorate a few of the people he knew who were having trouble surviving the street, even if they were trouble themselves.

Over the years, we have welcomed students right after high school graduation. More and more we have seen students find Southwestern College offers them a second chance to make a real difference in their lives and in the lives of their families. As you read our student, faculty and alumni stories, I hope you will find them as inspiring as I have. Southwestern College is also experiencing its own renewal. We have realized the true community potential of what was once the vacant corner lot. A new Wellness and Aquatics Complex has opened with two Olympic- sized pools and a third therapy pool, along with a gym and exercise classrooms. Next year we begin construction on a new Performing Arts and Cultural Center with a 500-seat theater to share the corner of the college.

    Journal of Liberal Arts and Humanities (JLAH) Issue: Vol. 1; No. 3 March 2020 (pp. 7-15) ISSN 2690-070X (Print) 2690-0718 (Online) Website: www.jlahnet.com E-mail: [email protected] Acting without Bullshit Dr. Rodney Whatley 2190 White Pines Drive Pensacola, FL 32526 Abstract This article is a guide to honest acting. Included is a discussion that identifies dishonest acting and the actor training that results in it. A definition of what truth onstage consists of is contrasted with a description of impractical acting exercises that should be avoided. The consequences of acting with bullshit are revealed. The article concludes with a description of the most practical and honest acting exercise. If you are a performance artist who loves shows with no dialogue, characters without names, or an unconnected series of events in lieu of plot, this essay isn’t for you. If you are an artist who communicates with sounds instead of words, this isn’t for you. However, if you like plots with specific characters pursuing superobjectives despite conflict, that explores the human condition, this essay is for you. This is a guide to practical, straightforward and honest acting. The actor must be honest in the relationship with the audience because you can’t shit a shitter, so don’t try. How can actors be honest onstage when acting is lying? By studying with good acting teachers who teach good acting classes, and aye, there’s the rub. Bad acting teachers train actors to get lost within their own reality, to surround themselves with the “magic” of acting and “become the character.” This teaches that the goal of acting is to convince the audience that the actor is the character.

    Wonderland Senior Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the School of Arts

    Wonderland Senior Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Undergraduate Program in Creative Writing Stephen McCauley, Advisor In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts by Arianna Arguetty May 2021 Copyright by Arianna Arguetty 1 I was lounging on the sofa in the laundry room, wearing a two thousand dollar cocktail dress and watching YouTube. My last days at university had come and gone. Exams were over, and I’d secured a job as an entry-level marketing assistant at a nearby firm. Once I earned a couple of paychecks, I’d be all set to get a place of my own. I’d even found that once a month in Fort Lauderdale--which wasn’t exactly close to my mother’s house but not terribly far either--a certain club met. In two weeks, I would go and take the chance to explore a nagging interest of mine. For now, all I had to do was walk across a stage, shake a few hands, and secure my degree. It should have been exciting, but I was preoccupied with my insecurity. I’d graduated from high school in a pair of bedazzled bootcut jeans I’d gotten myself at Target and a boxy t-shirt two sizes too big that my high school had given out after some trip. The shirt had covered the fake gemstones entirely which may have been a mistake because my old English teacher couldn’t have complained about my “horseback riding outfit” if she’d seen them.

Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.
