Welcome From the Tennessee Department of Education Dear Educators, Welcome to the 2018 Tennessee Arts Academy! How fortunate you are to be a part of this enriching and challenging professional learning experience. I hope your presence this week will reenergize you around the important work of providing Tennessee’s students with a strong arts education. Over the course of the Academy, you will have the opportunity to network, to share with and learn from colleagues across the state, and to strengthen your instructional practices around an integrated arts program. I am also excited to announce the launch of our new initiative, Tennessee: State of the Arts. This program was developed as a public-private partnership between the Country Music Association (CMA) Foundation and the State of Tennessee. This initiative seeks to leverage Tennessee’s rich history in the arts by launching a statewide program focused on expanding students’ access to high-quality music and arts education. To support this work we are adding to our staff an arts program director who will be charged with overseeing this initiative and providing support to arts educators across the state. As you know, research shows that the experiences of expansive arts education programs have a significant impact on student outcomes. Through the new Tennessee: State of the Arts initiative, school districts will be able to apply for three-year grants to enhance their arts and music education programs beginning in the 2018-19 school year. We know that arts education is critically important to ensuring our students complete their K–12 education experience as well- rounded and creative critical thinkers. I hope that you find your experience in the Academy to be both exciting and meaningful, and that you will take full advantage of this collaborative learning opportunity. Thank you for all that you do to support Tennessee students! Best, Candice McQueen Commissioner of Education Welcome From the Governor of Tennessee Dear Friends, On behalf of the great State of Tennessee, it is my honor to welcome participants and guests to the 2018 Tennessee Arts Academy. I congratulate you on your decision to attend this outstanding professional development institute and hope you have lasting memories of this occasion for many years to come. As you gather together again this year, I am sure you will enjoy interacting with colleagues as you further develop your abilities to educate students in music, theatre, and the visual arts. The people of our state are known around the world for their creative talents. Your participation in TAA will help build upon this legacy and advance the next generation of Tennessee artists. Thank you for all that you do to inspire creativity and a love for the arts in our students. Crissy and I send our best wishes and regards for an exciting and enriching event. Warmest regards, Bill Haslam From the President of Belmont University Welcome to Belmont University! We wish to congratulate the Tennessee Arts Academy on its many successful years of developing and encouraging teachers of the arts. We are honored to partner with the Tennessee Department of Education and the Tennessee Arts Academy in this vital work.

  • Nightmare (Re)Visions: the Failure of Dystopian Literary Adaptations?
    Nightmare (Re)visions: The failure of dystopian literary adaptations? MA in English by Independent Study Nic Felton January 2010 *Front cover image from Fahrenheit 451 (1966) Nightmare (Re)visions: The failure of dystopian literary adaptations? It’s funny how the colours of the like real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.1 And like children, you will only swallow all the bitter stuff I have to give you if it is carefully coated in a thick syrup of adventure.2 Literary adaptation theorists believe that we should look beyond the failure or success within adaptation studies but this seemingly cannot be ignored in the case of dystopian literary adaptations. The dystopian text should result in an outstanding and enlightening filmic adaptation, encompassing the cultural and historical points of view of both the author and adapter. However, many dystopian adaptations fail, not only to attract a large audience attendance, but to adequately portray the major themes and narrative evident within the precursor text. As Leitch states “Adaptations imitate novels, novels imitate life” but what happens when this “life” is projected into the future?3 Why do adapters choose to abandon the true dystopian vision? Why do many dystopian literary adaptations fail so spectacularly? This essay will seek to examine the potential reasons for the failure of the dystopian literary adaptation with regards to both audience expectations of the film adaptation and attendance at the cinema The issue of fidelity will be discussed to some extent but I will not seek to justify that the text is far superior to the film (or vice versa).
