Students will learn capoeira, a traditional Afro-Brazilian art form that combines ritual, self-defense, acrobatics, and music in a rhythmic dialogue of the body, mind, and spirit. Students will develop their physical and cognitive skills through weekly classes with professional artists, learning the physical elements of the art form, the music, historical and cultural information, and performance concepts. Students will work in partners and as a group, interacting in an atmosphere that encourages creativity and spontaneity. Emphasis will be placed on teamwork, concentration, and the use of movement, rhythm, and song as methods of expression. Actors' Shakespeare Project (aka ASP) $30,000 Somerville, MA To support Shakespeare Inside and Out youth theater programs. Participating youth (many of whom are involved in the court system) develop artistic, literacy, social, and pre-professional skills through the study of Shakespeare and other ensemble-based theater projects. Through residencies, after-school programs, a summer intensive, and leadership development, participants have the opportunity to create and share their own work. This project supports the Massachusetts Department of Youth Service's goal to create systemic change by incorporating arts education into all of its facilities. All activities culminate in a public performance and youth-led, post-show discussions.

For several weeks during the summer, professional musicians and music educators will provide instruction in strings, piano, choir, wind and brass instruments, and music composition. Students will participate in large ensembles, chamber or small ensembles, individual coaching sessions, and musicianship classes. In summer 2017, the program will expand to include elementary level piano and orchestra. Conservatory faculty and guest conductors will ensure students gain skills and knowledge in music as well as learn the value of teamwork, discipline, motivation, and leadership. Students are selected through an audition process, and scholarships are widely available. Architecture Resource Center Inc. (aka ARC) $10,000 New Haven, CT To support the Design Connections Partnership.

In the first year, the project's leadership team and committees will research local and national collective impact arts education models, assess needs, define shared goals and indicators, and connect the BAEI plan to citywide cultural planning processes. In the second year of the project, BAEI will pilot an arts-rich program in several schools, collect data, leverage new and existing resources, adopt and implement district policies that meet state arts education standards, and produce and present a State of the Arts progress report. The majority of students in Baltimore City Schools are eligible for free or reduced lunch, an indicator of poverty. Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University $15,000 Chicago, IL To support the Auditorium Theatre ArtsXChange program. Teaching Artist Mentors will be hired to provide year-long professional development to Chicago Public School teachers through workshops and classroom residencies.

    Activists, Bodies, and Political Arguments

    Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies Vol. 11, No. 4 (October 2015) Activists, Bodies, and Political Arguments Jason Del Gandio The following essay is adapted from a keynote address presented at the 2014 Patti Pace Performance Festival. The live address included a PowerPoint presentation involving a series of images and videos.1 One of the great strengths of the Patti Pace Festival is the wide range of attendees, which include high school students, undergraduate and graduate students, and professors. This address aims for a middle ground by targeting the undergraduate audience. In brief, the address discussed the manner by which activists use their bodies to make political arguments. Setting the Stage: An Introduction People often think of argumentation in terms of verbal communication—for example, someone advances a claim, supports it with evidence, and provides an overall rationale. But we can also use nonverbal communication to make argu- ments. This is particularly true with activists. Think of anti-war protesters conducting a classic “die-in.” The activists choose a rhetorically significant location—perhaps a military recruiting center or the office of a pro-war representative. The activists gather at the location and at a pre-designated time one of them blows a whistle. Everyone suddenly drops to the ground. Another activist stands among the “lifeless bodies” and recites an anti-war statement. And still another activist is using a handheld projector to cast images onto the side of the building: bombs, fire fights, injured bodies, Jason Del Gandio is an Assistant Professor of Instruction in the Department of Stra- tegic Communication at Temple University.

    Reclaiming the Streets: Black Urban Insurgency and Antisocial Security

    Reclaiming the streets Black urban insurgency and antisocial security in twenty-fi rst-century Philadelphia Jeff Maskovsky Abstract: Th is article focuses on the emergence of a new pattern of black urban insurgency emerging in major US metropolitan areas such as Philadelphia. I lo- cate this pattern in the context of a new securitization regime that I call “antiso- cial security.” Th is regime works by establishing a decentered system of high-tech forms of surveillance and monitory techniques. I highlight the dialectic between the extension of antisocial security apparatuses and techniques into new political and social domains on the one hand and the adoption of these same techniques by those contesting racialized exclusions from urban public space on the other. I end the article with a discussion of how we might adapt the commons concept to consider the centrality of race and racism to this new securitization regime. Keywords: commoning, inner city, race, securitization, United States, urban politics In Philadelphia, on 10 April 2013, dozens of Af- broadcast sensationalized reports about “crazed rican American youth converged in what mu- teens,” “mob violence,” and “youth rioting.” nicipal authorities described as a “fl ash mob” at In 2011, Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter the heart of the city’s central business district.

    Cities Within the City: Doityourself Urbanism and the Right to the City

    bs_bs_banner Volume 37.3 May 2013 941–56 International Journal of Urban and Regional Research DOI:10.1111/1468-2427.12053 Cities within the City: Do-It-Yourself Urbanism and the Right to the City KURT IVESON Abstract In many cities around the world we are presently witnessing the growth of, and interest in, a range of micro-spatial urban practices that are reshaping urban spaces. These practices include actions such as: guerrilla and community gardening; housing and retail cooperatives; flash mobbing and other shock tactics; social economies and bartering schemes; ‘empty spaces’ movements to occupy abandoned buildings for a range of purposes; subcultural practices like graffiti/street art, skateboarding and parkour; and more. This article asks: to what extent do such practices constitute a new form of urban politics that might give birth to a more just and democratic city? In answering this question, the article considers these so-called ‘do-it-yourself urbanisms’ from the perspective of the ‘right to the city’. After critically assessing that concept, the article argues that in order for do-it-yourself urbanist practices to generate a wider politics of the city through the appropriation of urban space, they also need to assert new forms of authority in the city based on the equality of urban inhabitants. This claim is illustrated through an analysis of the do-it-yourself practices of Sydney-based activist collective BUGA UP and the New York and Madrid Street Advertising Takeovers. Introduction In many cities around the world we are presently witnessing the growth of, and interest in, a range of micro-spatial urban practices that are reshaping urban spaces.

Out of print, underrated, forgotten music, movies, etc. Check comments for links. full discography, rar, etc. Thursday, December 13, 2018. Big Country. Big Country never got the recognition they deserved in the US but still remained a big band in the UK and Europe until the end of their career in the late '90s. Their first 2 albums were produced by Steve Lillywhite, who also worked with U2 and Simple Minds. Thus, they got lumped in with those two bands, as well as The Alarm, as a new wave of anthemic rock of Gaelic origins. They were actually the most seasoned and musically proficient band of that group, right out of the gate as heard on their debut, "The Crossing." They went on to make great albums (except No Place Like Home) for the rest of their career until lead singer Stuart Adamson's tragic suicide in 2000. 3 comments: As an American fan of Big Country, I would disagree that they *never* got the recognition they deserved here. "In A Big Country" was frequently played on the radio and MTV, and I saw them headline at The Fox, one of Atlanta's premier venues, during their first US tour. Enthusiasm didn't carry over to the albums that followed, and in that sense they deserved better in this country. 1983 - The Crossing [Deluxe Edition] 1984 - Steeltown [Deluxe Edition 2014] 1986 - The Seer [Deluxe Edition 2014] 1988 - Peace in Our Time [Deluxe Edition 2014] 1990 - Through A Big Country [Remastered 1996] 1991 - No Place Like Home 1993 - The Buffalo Skinners [Complete Sessions 2019] 1994 - Without The Aid Of A Safety Net [2019] 1995 - Why the Long Face [Deluxe Expanded 2018] 1998 - Restless Natives & rarities 1998 - The Nashville Sessions 1999 - Driving to Damascus [Bonus Tracks] 2001 - Under Cover 2005 - Rarities 2013 - The Journey (w/ Mike Peters) 2017 - Wonderland: The Essential.
