  • Rhetorically Speaking
    Rhetorically Speaking In his acceptance speech for the German Booksellers‘ Peace Prize, awarded a few weeks before he was elected President of Czechoslovakia, Vaclav Havel talked about the power of language, warning that ―the power of words is neither unambiguous nor clear cut…Words that electrify society with their freedom and truthfulness are matched by words that mesmerize, deceive, inflame, madden, beguile….‖ He asked, ―What is the true vocation of the intellectual? …to listen careful to words—to the words of the powerful—to be watchful of them…to proclaim their implications.‖ Although primarily addressing the need to be alert to the rhetoric of those in positions of power, Havel‘s word also point to the task before teachers and students of English. What the AP English Language and Composition Examination asks for students to evaluate words—words they are to read carefully, interpret, and then ―proclaim their implications.‖ Preparing for this examination is preparing to be continually attuned to what words say and how they say it, and to be able to respond to them with an informed, critical intelligence. AP English Language and Composition Free Response Scoring Guide with Multiple-Choice Section, 1996 Whatever you say. Or whatever you write. Or whatever you do to get your point across. That is rhetoric. And, as the 15-or-so freshmen in English Professor Richard Enos‘ Freshmen Seminar discover, that‘s the art between thought and expression. Was Bill Clinton‘s A Man From Hope a folksy documentary or propaganda pushing small-town values just in time for the 1990 election? And how on earth did Orson Welles‘ 1939 radio adaptation of War of the Worlds cause people to jump from buildings and the government to prohibit similar broadcasts? By semester‘s end, Enos‘ students will be disarming such arguments like a S.W.A.T.

  • Over 100 Opera Makers
    #OPERAHARMONY CREATING OPERAS IN ISOLATION 1 3 WELCOME TO #OPERA HARMONY FROM FOUNDER – ELLA MARCHMENT Welcome to #OperaHarmony. #Opera Harmony is a collection of opera makers from across the world who, during this time of crisis, formed an online community to create new operas. I started this initiative when the show that I was rehearsing at Dutch National Opera was cancelled because of the lockdown. Using social media and online platforms I invited colleagues worldwide to join me in the immense technical and logistical challenge of creating new works online. I set the themes of ‘distance’ and ‘community’, organised artist teams, and since March have been overseeing the creation of twenty new operas. All the artists involved in #OperaHarmony are highly skilled professionals who typically apply their talents in creating live theatre performances. Through this project, they have had to adapt to working in a new medium, as well as embracing new technologies and novel ways of creating, producing, and sharing work. #OperaHarmony’s goal was to bring people together in ways that were unimaginable prior to Covid-19. Over 100 artists from all the opera disciplines have collaborated to write, stage, record, and produce the new operas. The pieces encapsulate an incredibly dark period for the arts, and they are a symbol of the unstoppable determination, and community that exists to perform and continue to create operatic works. This has been my saving grace throughout lockdown, and it has given all involved a sense of purpose. When we started building these works we had no idea how they would eventually be realised, and it is with great thanks that we acknowledge the support of Opera Vision in helping to both distribute and disseminate these pieces, and also for establishing a means in which audiences can be invited into the heart of the process too .
