Galenroth.Pdf 1 THE COLONY-a new work by Galen Roth Originally performed in the New Works Lab in the Drake Theatre Union, The Ohio State University – Columbus, Ohio on May 8th, 9th, and 10th 2009. Author / Director.............Galen Roth Artistic Director...............Chris Roche Script Facilitator..............Bernhard Malkmus Lights.................................Kevin Duchon Stage Manager..................Andrea Schimmoeller Cast: Morris................................Jessi Biggert Angela................................Jessica Studer Karen.................................Barbie Papalios Evan...................................Ben Sostrom Artie...................................Mark Hale, Jr. Melody................................Kelsey Bates Guitarist / New Music.......Chris Ray Special thanks to Mark Shanda, Mandy Fox, Alan Woods, Kristine Kearney, and The Ohio State University Theatre Department. The set is divided into seven areas: one room each for Angela, Artie, Karen, Melody and Morris. Karen’s room is in the center, with the others circled around it. The remaining two areas are a small alcove representing a closet, and another small area in front of Karen’s room, which is the entrance to the Colony. All along the walls of the entire space are pictures: photographs and paintings. They are facing backward, for now. As the audience comes in, the artists all lay down a floor pattern in their respective areas. As they finish, Angela goes around and connects all the floor patterns, while the artists do their work. This goes on for a while, so we get the feeling of an existing, working community. Bookend i Morris crosses to Angela’s room. Angela is blind, her eyes covered by gauze. Morris: I need your help. Angela: I hate doing this for you. Morris: I can’t imagine why. Angela: Don’t get smart with me. With everyone else, it’s all animals and sunshine and rainbows and flowers and flying. I get the odd falling or stuck-in-slow-motion dream, but none of them ever compare to the warping that is your unconscious mind. I don’t know how you go on living day-to-day with those images in your head. Morris: It makes the waking world appear so much less terrible. 1 2 Angela: You really frustrate me, you know that? But if you really do think this place is so terrible for you, maybe you should just stay asleep. Morris: But then we’d never get the chance to see each other. Angela: Whatever. Let’s just get this over with. Tell me what happened. Morris: I’m a bit fuzzy on the details. Angela: You leave that to me. She holds Morris in her hands as she “reads” the dream. Lights change as we see Morris go to her area and change her floor pattern. Angela (cont.): What are you up to? What are you doing? Morris has changed not only her floor pattern, but her connection to the others, as well. She goes back to Angela, and the lights come back to their original color. Angela: I don’t know what you’re up to, Morris, but I wouldn’t go through with it if I were you. Morris: What does it mean? Angela: I can’t see everything. Morris: (playing with Angela’s tape) You can’t see anything. What does it mean? Angela: It means you’re attempting things that shouldn’t be tampered with (taking back her tape). But if you’re dead-set on going through with it, you better make sure it’s what you want. You’re at a point of no return. Morris goes back to her room. Act I Scene 1-Night. Autumn. Karen lies, asleep, on her couch. The radio drones on - sounds of the weather report: DJ1: As for your weekend, it looks like it could be a wet one. There are some heavy- looking clouds off the coast. DJ2: Yeah, I know you’re used to the rain, Seattle, but this looks like it could be a ton of water in the next day or so. Probably tomorrow night or really early in the morning. 2 3 Evan rings the buzzer to be let in. Karen wakes and groggily goes to get him. Karen: Finally! She turns on the lights. Karen: (opening the door) Evan! Evan: Karen! Karen Love. Karen: How was your flight? All in one piece? Evan: I went Greyhound. I hate flying in the states. You meet so many more interesting people on the buses than you do flying. Karen: And that would be why you wanted to take the taxi instead of having me pick you up? Evan: Yeah - I can’t pass up the opportunity to talk to a taxi driver! Paid off, too. He told me some great places to check out. Karen takes his coat and hangs it over a chair. Evan drops his stuff by the couch as He and Karen go to sit on it. Karen: I could’ve told you. Evan: Hey, I’ll want to see where you have your fun, too. We didn’t get a chance to really go out the last time I swung through. I doubt you’d know the same places he did, though. Karen: You’d still trust a taxi driver’s advice? Evan: Bound to lead to some fun! Karen: Still don’t care much for playing it safe, do you? Evan: I don’t worry about much, nope - and what do you have against taxi drivers? Karen: Nothing, I guess. So was the bus ride worth it, too? Evan: Yeah, I met a few characters. Karen: And people here think I’m outgoing. You’re going to have this city by the balls. (She moves closer to him.) 3 4 Evan: I’m hoping. I’ve never been outside home for very long. I mean, I’ve traveled a lot, but I’ve never lived somewhere else. Karen: I can’t believe you’re worried about that. You’ll be fine. Just wait until you get acquainted with the city. Evan: Yeah, at least I already know some people here. If there’s ever a place I could call home, it’d be here. Oh! Before I forget! He rummages around in his backpack. He pulls out a beautiful marionette. Evan (cont.): I got this for you while I was over there. Karen: Oh, wow. It’s beautiful. Evan: You like it? She turns it over in her hands and admires it. Karen: I love it. -You’re really planning on staying put for a while? Evan: Yeah, I decided I needed a steadier source of income if I wanted to keep living the way I do. I figure I’d sacrifice travel for fun. I’ve been around a few times, and the fun is always the same, no matter where you end up. Let’s just hope I don’t get bored with the same few million people in the city! Karen: That’s the Evan I know. Plus, you’ll have me around… (She moves even closer.) Evan: I guess that’s true. (He moves away.) Karen: I’m starting to think you don’t like me. Evan: Sorry! I’m just starting to realize what staying here would mean. Karen: One-track mind. If I didn’t know you as well as I do, I’d say you were missing out on life. Evan: I’m not completely oblivious. Karen: I don’t know. I think you might be. Karen leans in close, her face inches away from his. Evan leans away; she leans with him until he can’t move back any farther. She laughs at him and gets up. Karen (cont.): Not that it matters, you always get what you want…and if you don’t want it, it doesn’t matter. 4 5 Evan: Hey, hey, hey. I just got here. You’re in a weird mood. Karen: Sorry, I’m just excited to see you. You don’t know how good it is to have a familiar face around here. Evan: Same here. Karen: Though, you don’t look the same as I remember. Evan: How do I look? Well-traveled? Wise in the ways of the world? Like I’ve been to the ends of the Earth and back? Karen: No. Evan: Oh. Karen: You always looked that way. You always had that look of someone who’s been places. Evan: Then what’s different? Karen: Oh, I don’t know. Nevermind. My mind’s been playing weird tricks on me like that lately. Tell me stories about where you’ve been since the last time I saw you. Evan: When was the last time I saw you? Karen: About 6 months ago, when you were passing through. You came back from Cancun and were on your way to Europe, I think. I bet you’ve got amazing pictures. Evan: Oh, you have no idea. (He reaches for his bag and pulls out a photo album.) Let’s see…the photographic journal of Evan…when last we left our hero, he was leaving for Europe. (Flipping through the pages.) And there we are just before I left for the airport. Karen: Before your aversion to planes, I’m guessing? Evan: Nah, I was just in a hurry to get to Europe. Here’s the airport. Here’s me getting into Heathrow. Terminal 5. Crazy place. Here’s the taxi ride to the hotel. Here’s the hotel. Here’s my room… Karen: Give me that. (She takes the album.) You take too many pictures. Evan: No such thing. Karen: I swear you’ve got a frame-by-frame depiction of your trip here. You could make a flip-book outta this. Let’s get to the good stuff.

  • Lubbock on Everything: the Evocation of Place in the Music of West Texas
    02-233 Ch16 9/19/02 2:27 PM Page 255 16 Lubbock on Everything: The Evocation of Place in the Music of West Texas Blake Gumprecht The role of landscape and the importance of place in literature, poetry, the visual arts, even cinema and television are well established and have been widely discussed and written about. Think of Faulkner’s Mississippi, the New England poetry of Robert Frost, the regionalist paintings of John Steuart Curry, or, in a contemporary sense, the early movies of Barry Levinson, with their rich depictions of Baltimore. There are countless other examples. Texas could be considered a protagonist in the novels of Larry McMurtry. The American Southwest is central to the art of Georgia O’Keeffe. New York City acts as far more than just a setting for the films of Woody Allen. The creative arts have helped shape our views of such places, and the study of works in which particular places figure prominently can help us better understand those places and human perceptions of them.1 Place can also be important to music, yet this has been largely overlooked by scholars. The literature on the subject, in fact, is nearly nonexistent. A sim- ple search of a national library database, for example, retrieved 295 records under the subject heading “landscape in literature” and more than 1,000 un- der the heading “landscape in art,” but a similar search using the phrase “landscape in music” turned up nothing.2 This line of inquiry is so poorly de- veloped that no equivalent subject heading has been established.

  • A Year in the Life of Bottle the Curmudgeon What You Are About to Read Is the Book of the Blog of the Facebook Project I Started When My Dad Died in 2019
    A Year in the Life of Bottle the Curmudgeon What you are about to read is the book of the blog of the Facebook project I started when my dad died in 2019. It also happens to be many more things: a diary, a commentary on contemporaneous events, a series of stories, lectures, and diatribes on politics, religion, art, business, philosophy, and pop culture, all in the mostly daily publishing of 365 essays, ostensibly about an album, but really just what spewed from my brain while listening to an album. I finished the last essay on June 19, 2020 and began putting it into book from. The hyperlinked but typo rich version of these essays is available at: https://albumsforeternity.blogspot.com/ Thank you for reading, I hope you find it enjoyable, possibly even entertaining. bottleofbeef.com exists, why not give it a visit?

Unless you’re being a jerk. © Bottle of Beef 2020, all rights reserved. Welcome to my record collection. This is a book about my love of listening to albums. It started off as a nightly perusal of my dad's record collection (which sadly became mine) on my personal Facebook page. Over the ensuing months it became quite an enjoyable process of simply ranting about what I think is a real art form, the album. It exists in three forms: nightly posts on Facebook, a chronologically maintained blog that is still ongoing (though less frequent), and now this book.

  • The Political Kiaesthetics of Contemporary Dance:—
    The Political Kinesthetics of Contemporary Dance: Taiwan in Transnational Perspective By Chia-Yi Seetoo A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Miryam Sas, Chair Professor Catherine Cole Professor Sophie Volpp Professor Andrew F. Jones Spring 2013 Copyright 2013 Chia-Yi Seetoo All Rights Reserved Abstract The Political Kinesthetics of Contemporary Dance: Taiwan in Transnational Perspective By Chia-Yi Seetoo University of California, Berkeley Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies Professor Miryam Sas, Chair This dissertation considers dance practices emerging out of post-1980s conditions in Taiwan to theorize how contemporary dance negotiates temporality as a political kinesthetic performance. The dissertation attends to the ways dance kinesthetically responds to and mediates the flows of time, cultural identity, and social and political forces in its transnational movement. Dances negotiate disjunctures in the temporality of modernization as locally experienced and their global geotemporal mapping. The movement of performers and works pushes this simultaneous negotiation to the surface, as the aesthetics of the performances registers the complexity of the forces they are grappling with and their strategies of response. By calling these strategies “political kinesthetic” performance, I wish to highlight how politics, aesthetics, and kinesthetics converge in dance, and to show how political and affective economies operate with and through fully sensate, efforted, laboring bodies. I begin my discussion with the Cursive series performed by the Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan, whose intersection of dance and cursive-style Chinese calligraphy initiates consideration of the temporal implication of “contemporary” as “contemporaneity” that underlies the simultaneous negotiation of local and transnational concerns.

  • CBTA Takes on Food Waste Looking Ahead to Convention 2019
    NEWSLETTER 2019 SPRING • VOLUME 105, NUMBER 1 CBTA Takes on Food Waste By Celina Scott-Buechler SP13 CB14 TA16 ew aspects of daily life are as elemental and multifaceted as food” – so begins the 2013 TASP seminar description, “FOOD.” “FFood is critical not only for human nutrition but also for the construction of culture, morality, and community. Convention Proceedings (in the early days, Convention Minutes) as early as the 1910s discuss food as a vessel for moral or immoral behavior. In 1916, the Dean of the Student Body at the Beaver River Power Company writes in his report, “Few questions are of more vital importance to the Association than that of indulgence, which springs from feeling.” He continues on to decry “a strong tendency [in the student body] to indulge yourselves; this is your weakness. You want to smoke; you want to drink; you want to be good fellows; you want to swear; you want to do as you d-n please; you want to eat candy and rich food.” He concludes by asking, “Do you say these matters are trivial? A second of time seems trivial, but time and eternity are made up of trivial seconds. Altogether these matters of indulgence constitute, perhaps, our biggest hindrance to success.” Today’s Association does not, as a whole, ascribe to such asceticism. To the contrary, good food (sometimes rich, sometimes not) has become an important consideration Pasadena Branch members indulging at Knott’s Berry Farm, circa 1949-50 for its programs.

  • 1 “Who Is Not Engaged in Trying to Leave a Mark, to Engrave His Image
    1 “Who is not engaged in trying to leave a mark, to engrave his image on the others and the world- graven images held more dear than life itself? We wish to die leaving our imprints burned on the hearts of the others.” R.D.Laing THE DRAWING: VERTIGO ”..In 1728 William Chelsdon, an English Surgeon, removed the Cataracts from the eyes of a thirteen–year–old boy born blind. Despite his high intelligence and youth, the boy encountered profound difficulties with the simplest visual perceptions. He had no idea of distance. He had no idea of space or size. And he was bizarrely confused by drawing and paintings, by the idea of a two– dimensional representation of reality.” Approximations: The skein of the intellect thrown across the world, drawing it into form: fragile exercise in speculation, almost as abstract as mathematics: a tentative hypothesis on what the world might be in its wholeness. Meditation between object and sensation - pure light, electric sensation taking form somewhere in the darkness of the head. Shifting patterns ruled into structures and significance through the structure of neurones the filter of memory. At this point, between everything and nothing: between empty formula and chaos - between language and a meaningless babble of random noise I approach this act of drawing. She is there, concrete enough this girl, a detached nakedness on a podium. Beautiful, I think; a full breast and the roundness of a female stomach plummeting secretly down and inviting the curve of the hand. The potential is so powerful. The same vertigo as the diver: poised on the edge of undisturbed whiteness, absolute perfection which my partial marks can only disappoint.

  • Exhibition Guide
    EXHIBITION GUIDE The impact of abuse and maltreatment lasts for a life time. Therefore, teach through dialogue, understanding and instilling values, and don’t leave a mark through hitting and humiliation The impact of abuse and maltreatment lasts for a life time. Therefore, teach through dialogue, understanding and instilling values, and don’t leave a mark through hitting and humiliation. This exhibition reveals various aspects of child maltreatment in Jordan through presenting painful and moving true stories from our society. Some of these stories became issues of public opinion and spread through media, while others took place around us but remained hidden and unknown. The exhibition aims at shedding light on these stories, so we can all work together towards: “Jordan free of child abuse and maltreatment.” The exhibition provides key messages against each of these unfortunate stories that are directed at children and parents. The content of the messages is about positive parenting methods that rely mainly on dialogue, understanding, communication and being a role model. These methods proved to be successful and effective in reinforcing positive behaviour and self discipline in children. “The Adventures of Looney Ballooney” is a platform created by the National Council for Family Affairs and the UNICEF, as a continuation of their efforts which aim at raising awareness of the importance of positive parenting within families, and warning them about the dangers of child abuse and maltreatment. “The Adventures of Looney Balloney” festival is one part of a comprehensive multi-sectoral national strategy, aiming at reducing the violence against children through raising community awareness and supporting the development of policies and programs, in order to protect children from violence, and change attitudes and behaviours, aiming in the end at eradicating all child maltreating practices.
