In fact, the crowds were so large that the officials decided to cut the ribbon a few minutes early. Untilrecently,the discount supermarket chain had its Nues i location on Waukegan Road, near Jarvis Avenue. But the location was closed on March 1, and the newly built location at 6250 W Touhy Ave. opened a day later. Officials from Aldi'sBatavia division and Nues village officials were on hand to mark the opening. After the ceremonies were corn- pleted, officials were seen helping customers and pushing carts around, while Trustee Rosemary Palicki took the opportunity to get some shopping done.

  • Roots Report: Mardi Gras Warm-Up and More
    Roots Report: Mardi Gras Warm-Up and More Okee dokee folks… The other day I was behind an SUV that was covered with bumper stickers. I strained to read some of them before the light changed. The one that caught my attention stated, “I’m not old, your music really does suck!” I found it kind of funny and sad, but true. Auto-tuned, computer generated, cut and paste songs just don’t do it for me. They are soulless amalgamations of sound and it is amazing that it takes so many people to fabricate these recordings. I posted a comment on my Facebook wall that stated, “Beck is an artist, Beyonce is a product,” in reference to the Grammy Awards. I ruffled feathers with that statement. From what I understand, Beck’s album had one songwriter and one producer, Beyonce’s had 27 songwriters and 19 producers. She can sing, but a lot of folks can. If you had an army behind you, you could conquer the music business as well. Do I need to say more? Yup, I sound like an old fart. Maybe I am. But like another bumper sticker said, “I may be old, but I got to see all the good bands!” I did. If you want to hear REAL musical artists at work, read on. It’s Fat Tuesday time! Here are two chances to get your Mardi Gras on. At The German Club in Pawtucket on Sun, Feb 22 from 3 – 7pm there will be a Mardi Gras Warm-up. Jeffrey Broussard and the Creole Cowboys are bringing some red hot Louisiana heat to the German Club, with free Zydeco Bites dance lessons by Jody Rudnick.

  • Contemporary Improvisational Theater in Poland and the United States
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS LODZIENSIS FOLIA LITTERARIA POLONICA 2(40) 2017 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1505-9057.40.05 Magdalena Szuster* “Alchemy and smoke in a bottle” – contemporary improvisational theater in Poland and the United States Part 1: (Re)defining Improvised Theater – the American and Polish Perspectives What Does Impro(v) Mean Anyway? The origins of improvisation are indistinct, and for most part untraceable. An academic endeavor to establish its beginnings would go unrewarded, as there is no one distinct inventor1 of improvisation. This technique, or method, had been used as means of expression in art long before Spolin or Johnstone, and far away from Chicago or London. The Atellan farce (1 BC), secular entertainers and court jesters in China (10 BC), or the frenzied improvisations in Ancient Greece (600 BC) had preceded the 16th century commedia dell’arte2 the Italian improvised per- formance based on scenarios and/or sketches. The renaissance of improvisation in the 20th century was largely brought about by experimental artists who used it as means of expression, communication and representation. As a tool, a vessel or foundation improvisation existed in theater (both formal and popular), painting, poetry and music. It was an important substance, and an interesting addition to avant-garde art. The early avant-garde theater welcomed improvisation as a means in the pro- cess of developing plays and productions, or as a component of actor training, yet an independent improvisational format was yet to be devised.
