We realise that in order to continue making the BBC feel truly diverse, and improve on where we are at the moment, we need to let you know who’s out there. In this document you will find biographies for just some of the hugely talented people the BBC has already been working with and others who have made their mark elsewhere. It’s the responsibility of every person involved in BBC programme making to ask themselves whether what, and who, they are putting on screen reflects the world around them or just one section of society.

  • The Performance Culture of Burning Man
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE PERFORMANCE CULTURE OF BURNING MAN Wendy Ann Clupper, PhD, 2007 Directed By: Dr. Franklin J. Hildy, Department of Theatre and Performance Studies Theatre in the United States for the last twenty years has been evolving in scope by way of a cultural phenomenon known as Burning Man. In 2006, this festival attracted over forty thousand participants to the Black Rock Desert in Northwestern Nevada to a flat dusty Playa surrounded by mountain ranges. While the natural environment there is hostile, the creative atmosphere is welcoming and invites a broad scope of performative behaviors and genres to be exhibited there, the entire week the festival takes place. Make-shift stages and theme camps, as well as large- scale interactive art pieces play host to participants who dress up in fanciful costumes to perform in all manner of imagining. This dissertation maps out the cultural terrain of Burning Man in order to explain how performing there is form of identity-making and cultural commodity. As one of a handful of North American festivals which expressly discourage commercialism and commodification, theatricality takes the place of significance for entertainment and communication. Performance forms of all kinds historically are represented at Burning Man and this dissertation will investigate and theorize how a new performance culture has emerged from the festival itself and by its presence as a theatrical event, has exposed and expanded performance and theatre forms. This dissertation offers a critical framework through which to consider performance and performers within the Burning Man community as applied to Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of Carnival and the Schema for Theatrical Eventness proposed by the International Federation for Theatre Research Theatrical Events Working Group.

The Master Plan specifically identifies this development site in its discussion of the Village Commercial zoning district: This designation is located in an area that includes ”. the parcel on Dan Hoey near the entrance to the industrial park. The area on Dan Hoey is to accommodate a pending mixed use development including housing, offices, and a food pantry.” The Village Commercial zoning district allows the mix of uses as proposed by this development, including: “Residential dwellings on upper floor only when commercial retail and office uses are within a building”; “Community Centers”; “Business and professional offices”; and “Multi‐family dwellings as a Special Use”. The Master Plan further states as a goal “Provide a desirable residential environment with diverse housing options for City residents” with an objective to “Allow for a range of housing options for City.” The Hilltop View Apartments development is seeking a rezoning from the current RD Research Development zoning designation to Planned Unit Development with Village Commercial as the underlying zoning district.
