  • Melbourne Theatre Company
    David Williamson’s WELCOME At MTC we are passionate about Australian stories, be they modern masterpieces or brand new plays fresh off the page. In our 2020 season new works dominate, but there was one classic we couldn’t go past, especially as its revival marks a particularly special milestone. In his 50th year as a playwright, we celebrate David Williamson’s incredible career and achievements as a writer with this new production of Emerald City – one of his finest plays and an undeniable Australian classic. As the 21st century seems to careen again into the Greed is Good world of self-interest, self-obsession, consumerism and real estate dreams so pervasive in the 1980s, there is no better time to re-visit this classic play. Set at the height of the 80s pandemic of wealth accumulation at all costs, Emerald City takes the blowtorch to one of our most visible signs of money vs humanity – the wrestle between art and commercialism. This high-velocity dramedy, full of Williamson wit and zingers, uses of course its infamous backdrop of Sydney/Melbourne rivalry to land its exploration of seduction by wealth, beauty and a gorgeous harbour view. But more broadly, its revival in 2020 asks whether we ever really left behind the Greed is Good years of the 80s. Please do read both David’s essay in this programme and that of director Sam Strong, who each write so eloquently about Emerald City’s themes and about David’s astonishing career. David is revered around the country as one of our most popular dramatists, and his prolific output and critical success have long secured his place in the literary canon.

  • Black Institutions and the Rise of Student Activism In
    SHELTER IN A TIME OF STORM: BLACK COLLEGES AND THE RISE OF STUDENT ACTIVISM IN JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jelani Manu-Gowon Favors, B.A., M.A. The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Warren Van Tine, Adviser Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Co-Adviser Leslie Alexander William Nelson Jr. Approved by Adviser Graduate Program in History Co-Adviser Graduate Program in History Copyright by Jelani M. Favors ABSTRACT The most underdeveloped area of study concerning the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s is the effect of Black student activism during the explosive decade. The field is currently dominated by two-dimensional studies that define student activism under the banner of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), or the Black Studies campaigns on white college campuses in the latter half of the decade. Assessing student protests merely through this lens yields a narrow view of this generation of activists. One cause of our failure to identify these students is that scholars of the Civil Rights Movement have ignored the very environment in which the majority of student activists lived, learned, socialized, and ultimately revolted. Analyses of Black colleges invariably conclude that they were paternalistic and their curriculums were conformist, if not geared toward assimilation. Students from these all-Black institutions in the South succeeded in their public and private assault against the policies of Jim Crow and at the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement they vaulted the struggle for human rights to unprecedented levels.

    INTRODUCTION i DAVID WILLIAMSON’s first full-length play, The Coming of Stork, premiered at the La Mama Theatre, Carlton, in 1970 and later became the film Stork, directed by Tim Burstall. The Removalists and Don’s Party followed in 1971, then Jugglers Three (1972), What If You Died Tomorrow? (1973), The Department (1975), A Handful of Friends (1976), The Club (1977) and Travelling North (1979). In 1972 The Removalists won the Australian Writers’ Guild AWGIE Award for best stage play and the best script in any medium and the British production saw Williamson nominated most promising playwright by the London Evening Standard. The 1980s saw his success continue with Celluloid Heroes (1980), The Perfectionist (1982), Sons of Cain (1985), Emerald City (1987) and Top Silk (1989); whilst the 1990s produced Siren (1990), Money and Friends (1991), Brilliant Lies (1993), Sanctuary (1994), Dead White Males (1995), Heretic (1996), Third World Blues (an adaptation of Jugglers Three) and After the Ball (both in 1997), and Corporate Vibes and Face to Face (both in 1999). The Great Man (2000), Up for Grabs, A Conversation, Charitable Intent (all in 2001), Soulmates (2002) and Birthrights (2003) have since followed. Williamson is widely recognised as Australia’s most successful playwright and over the last thirty years his plays have been performed throughout Australia and produced in Britain, United States, Canada and many European countries. A number of his stage works have been adapted for the screen, including The Removalists, Don’s Party, The Club, Travelling North, Emerald City, Sanctuary and Brilliant Lies.

  • A Feminist Narrative Inquiry of NHS Midwives Supporting and Facilitating Women’S Alternative Physiological Birthing Choices
    ‘Practising outside of the box, whilst within the system’: A feminist narrative inquiry of NHS midwives supporting and facilitating women’s alternative physiological birthing choices. by Claire Lauren Feeley RM, BSc (Hons), MSc Volume 1 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire. August 2019 i ii Abstract This thesis presents the findings of an original study that explored NHS midwives practice of facilitating women’s alternative physiological birthing choices - defined in this study as ‘birth choices that go outside of local/national maternity guidelines or when women decline recommended treatment of care, in the pursuit of a physiological birth’. The premise for this research relates to dominant sociocultural-political discourses of medicalisation, technocratic, risk-averse and institutionalisation that has shaped childbirth practices in the UK. For midwives working in the NHS, sociocultural-political and institutional constraints can negatively impact their ability to provide care to women making alternative birth choices. A meta-ethnography was carried out, highlighting a paucity of literature in this area. Therefore, the aim of this study was to generate practice-based knowledge to answer the broad research question: ‘what are the processes, experiences, and sociocultural-political influences upon NHS midwives’ who self-define as facilitative of women’s alternative birthing choices’. Underpinned by a feminist pragmatist theoretical framework, a narrative methodology was used to conduct this study. Professional stories of practice were collected via self-written narratives and interviews to understand the processes of facilitation (the what, how, why), their experiences of carrying out facilitative actions (subjective sense-making), and what sociocultural-political factors influenced their practice.

  • David Williamson's LET the SUNSHINE
    World Premiere David Williamson’s LET THE SUNSHINE With: JUSTIN STEWART COTTA, EMMA JACKSON, ANDREW McFARLANE, GEORGIE PARKER, KATE RAISON & WILLIAM ZAPPA Director: SANDRA BATES Designer: GRAHAM MACLEAN Lighting Designer: MATTHEW MARSHALL This brand new David Williamson, with trade-mark comedy bite, asks what happens when people of widely different political views are forced to co-exist. Toby (William Zappa), a maker of hard hitting documentaries, flees Sydney in shame when the press finds out he inadvertently used a bogus witness in his latest film. He convinces his reluctant wife Ros (Georgie Parker) to travel north with him to Noosa, a haven in Queensland fondly remembered from visits in his youth. Problem is, it has now moved from a simple fishing village to a chic, upmarket, manicured playground of the wealthy and privileged. Ros meets an old school friend, Natasha (Kate Raison), who is married to Ron (Andrew McFarlane), a hugely wealthy property developer. Ros and Natasha had little in common even at school, and to say Toby and Ron are like chalk and cheese would be understating it. The connection between the two couples seems destined to be brief and acrimonious save for one thing. Power lawyer Emma (Emma Jackson), the daughter of Natasha, and drop-out musician Rick (Justin Stewart Cotta), son of Ros, happen to meet. And then, in typical Williamson fashion, it’s on for young and old. Ensemble’s Artistic Director, Sandra Bates has assembled a stellar cast for this production, her 4th Williamson World Premiere, and her 12th Williamson production in her 24 years at the theatre’s helm.

INSTITUTION Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, Washington, D.C. PUB DATE 76 NOTE 141p.

DESCRIPTORS *Change Strategies; *Curriculum Development; Curriculum Enrichment; Educational Improvement; Educational Innovation; Educational Theories; Elementary Secondary Education; Equal Education; *Humanistic Education ABSTRACT All children have a right to learn what is most worth learning, but for some children this right has often not been realized. An important need is to define the elements ofan "equal rights curriculum" that meets the needs of all children.One of the important elements of such a curriculum is "adventuring." Through more extensive and intensive interaction with various environments and cultural realms, adventuring broadens children's base for learning and enlivens the whole educational process. "Mastering" is another element of the equal rights curriculum. All children, including those who have been traditionally undertaught, must succeed in mastering the educational fundamentals and muchmore as well. "Associating" is the final important curricular element. Children who may have been mistaught about racial-ethnic, gender, and class differences need the correction that comes from interacting with all kinds of children and from studying the social aspects of human behavior. This proposed curriculum is meant to help those children Who have been traditionally undertaught, but it should also benefit children who have been overtaught, as well.
