Seattle is prepared Seattle is in a fortunate position to be generally well-equipped to weather budget cuts by way of the White House. “The city of Seattle’s Office of Arts and Culture has seen its budget increase significantly, thanks in large part to the 1% for Arts plan, and the admission of tax surpluses propelled by the likes of Chihuly Garden and Glass and the Great Wheel,” says McGinn. In the early 1970s, Seattle established a comprehensive system for assuring that creativity would remain a part of civil life in perpetuity. The city instituted the progressive 1% for Art ordinance, which has since become a model other cities have replicated worldwide. The proposal stipulated that, noted a Seattle Times article at the time, "All requests for appropriations for construction projects from eligible funds shall include an amount equal to one (1) percent of the estimated cost of such project for works of art" and that those monies would go for the "selection, acquisition, and/or installation of works JUNE 30 & JULY 1 of art to be placed in, on, or about A LIVE PRESENTATION OF public facilities.” In 2015, McGinn notes, the city invested 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY $3 million to support more than 360 individuals and institutions.

  • Strategic Thinking in Rupaul's Drag Race All Stars: a Game Theory Analysis by John Norell, 29/3-2019
    Strategic Thinking in Rupaul's Drag Race All Stars: a game theory analysis By John Norell, 29/3-2019 Rupaul's Drag Race All Stars is an American reality competition show for drag performers. In simple terms, the format is this: a group of contestants each episode compete in different challenges related to drag, each week one gets voted of the show and when there’s only one left, that contestant is crowned the winner. A feature of the All Stars game that is different from an ordinary season of Rupaul’s Drag Race is that instead of the judge (Rupaul) deciding who’s sent home, the winners of the episode challenges decide which of the two worst-performing contestants that gets eliminated. This introduces a strategic element into the competition, and this is what will be analysed in this text. If you are the winner of the episode challenge, should you eliminate the strongest competitor or is there an advantage to gain from acting fair and eliminate the weakest one? Is it strategic to form alliances? Why is it, that in the show, the contestants tend to establish a norm of always sending home the weakest of the bottom contestants? These are some of the questions questions I will answer by using the tools of game theory. In the next section, I outline the basic model and solve it to see what predictions it makes about how contestants will behave. I will then analyse the model and in particular different contestants probability of winning the whole game. Next, a number of modifications are proposed and analysed how they affect the predictions the model makes.

  • Calling All the Queens! Visibilidades De Gênero No Programa De TV Rupaul’S Drag Race1
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação XVII Congresso de Ciências da Comunicação na Região Nordeste – Natal/RN – 02 a 05/07/2015 Calling All The Queens! Visibilidades de gênero no programa de TV RuPaul’s Drag Race1 Joseylson Fagner dos SANTOS2 Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN), Mossoró, RN Resumo: O presente artigo se propõe a discutir a visibilidade de indivíduos e identidades drag queen a partir da veiculação de RuPaul’s Drag Race, programa de televisão transmitido em canal por assinatura no território norte-americano. O texto faz parte de um estudo preliminar a respeito das aproximações culturais entre a cena estadunidense e a brasileira, pela qual circulam referências sobre personagens e experiências drag queen. Para tanto, faz uma análise qualitativa de duas temporadas (2013 e 2014) do programa e suas principais articulações sobre as questões de gênero e identidade sexual que fundamentam a posterior análise e discussão de outros experimentos no Brasil. A reflexão iniciada aqui é pautada pela reflexão sobre como as referências apresentadas no programa permitem articular elementos como a visibilidade social dessas personagens na cena LGBT, e a articulação de questões de gênero e das sexualidades na difusão em meios de comunicação de massa. Palavras-chave: drag queen; papéis de gênero; comunicação de massa; televisão; RuPaul’s Drag Race. INTRODUÇÃO Who do you think you are?

Drag Race continues to become more profitable and successful by the year and arguably shapes cultural ideas of queer performances in manifold ways. This project investigates the impacts of exploitative labour practices that emerge from the show, the commodification of drag when represented on screen, and how the show influences drag and queer performances off screen.

  • The Whipping Man
    THE WHIPPING MAN PRESS HIGHLIGHTS REVIEWS ‘Whipping Man’ exposes raw nerve of surrender By James Hebert, UNION-TRIBUNE THEATER CRITIC Saturday, May 15, 2010 at 12:04 a.m. / Craig Schwartz As wounded Confederate soldier Caleb, whose leg is amputated in the first scene, Mark J. Sullivan performs much of his role lying prone in “The Whipping Man” at The Old Globe. DETAILS “The Whipping Man” Old Globe Theatre When: Tuesdays-Wednesdays, 7 p.m.; Thursdays-Fridays, 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 2 and 8 p.m.; Sundays, 2 and 7 p.m., through June 13. Where: Old Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, Balboa Park Tickets: $29-$62 Phone: (619) 234-5623 Online: TheOldGlobe.org Moses freed the Israelites in Egypt. Lincoln liberated the Southern slaves. It might take a heavenly host of prophets and presidents to emancipate the hearts of those in “The Whipping Man.” Matthew Lopez’s affecting, suspenseful and at times searing play strips the skin off such lofty ideas as freedom and honor to peer at the raw nerves underneath, and lay bare the cost paid for such lofty notions. As directed with a spare intensity by Giovanna Sardelli for the Old Globe Theatre (in a West Coast premiere), the work’s sense of the visceral sometimes gets close to literal. In the very first scene, a Confederate casualty has his festering leg amputated amid the ruins of a once-grand Virginia plantation. When the soldier’s former slave, now savior, puts down the saw to sop up the blood, the sound of a soaked rag wrung into a bucket is its own grisly hymn to misery and perseverance.

  • The Call Is Places
    The Call Is Places Welcome from Artistic Director Joseph Haj 2017–2018 SEASON Dear Friends, Romeo and Juliet When playwright Matthew Lopez wrote The Legend of Georgia McBride, September 9 – October 28, 2017 he intended it to be an homage to the drag queens who raised him in Wurtele Thrust Stage the only place he felt safe growing up – a small-town gay bar in the Watch on the Rhine Florida panhandle. Yet his play has become a legend, brought vividly September 30 – November 5, 2017 to life under the keen direction of Jeffrey Meanza, the Guthrie’s own McGuire Proscenium Stage associate artistic director. A Christmas Carol You don’t need glitz and glam to fall in love with this heartfelt story November 14 – December 30, 2017 and unique cast of characters, but there’s no shortage of spectacle and Wurtele Thrust Stage over-the-top surprises. However, it’s what happens behind the pageantry that you may find most Blithe Spirit intriguing, like when Casey realizes his true talent November 25, 2017 – January 14, 2018 lies in embodying a woman – not Elvis – and McGuire Proscenium Stage when Rexy opens up about the deep wounds Indecent in her past. February 17 – March 24, 2018 Wurtele Thrust Stage For Lopez, drag is a populist art form accessible to anyone willing to put on a Familiar pair of stilettos and take the stage. It’s March 10 – April 14, 2018 also hard work that demands talent and McGuire Proscenium Stage tenacity, and his admiration for drag is evident from the opening scene to the Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner final curtain.
