  • Annual Report FY19
    WEAVERS GUILD OF MINNESOTA “In one word, “membership” means “community” to me​. I became a member of the guild after attending one or two artist talks…. I was a spinner and had just started weaving using a rigid heddle loom. … Here were people who shared my passions for spinning and weaving in some way, shape or form! Here were people who could answer questions I might have!” -- response to the Listening Session survey, fall 2018 Annual Report Fiscal year 2019 (September 1, 2018 - August 31, 2019) Weavers Guild of Minnesota ​FY19 Annual Report 1 ABOUT Founded in 1940, the Weavers Guild of Minnesota (WGM) has grown from an all-volunteer organization to one that offers more than 150 classes and fiber events year round, managed by professional staff. In 1974, WGM incorporated as a 501(c)3 and today maintains classroom, retail, and library space in Minneapolis. In 2019, WGM is led by ​a 13-​member Board, with committees to support activities. WGM’s mission is ​“Preserving and advancing the arts of weaving, spinning, and dyeing.” The organization approaches this with two broad aims: to educate interested parties at all levels of skill with a broad and deep range of opportunities and access, and to promote weaving, spinning, and dyeing as life-long activities that enrich lives. ​Success builds on a solid foundation of educational programs, outreach, and member activities, constructed over eighty years and deepened over the last fifteen as the organization has grown in membership, budget, and funding support. WGM believes weaving, spinning, and dyeing are fundamental to the human experience and offers the only arts education program in Minnesota specifically focused on these three historic arts.

  • Production Notes Tank 432 (Aka Belly of the Bulldog)
    PRODUCTION NOTES TANK 432 (AKA BELLY OF THE BULLDOG) LOG LINE: From Executive Producer Ben Wheatley (Director ­ Kill List, High Rise), comes this knife­edged thriller about a band of mercenary soldiers battling to escape a mysterious, unseen enemy. SYNOPSIS: On the run and with nowhere to hide, a group of mercenaries find themselves surrounded by an unidentified enemy. As gunfire hails down and their mysterious pursuers begin to close in, they must keep moving to find safe shelter. The only chance of survival is to hide inside an abandoned tank discovered by inexperienced soldier, Reeves (Rupert Evans ­ Hell Boy, The Boy, Man in the High Castle). Once holed up inside the tank, they quickly discover the hatch is jammed and there is no way out. As the mercenaries begin their desperate search for anything that may aid their escape, they fall upon a shocking discovery: confidential files on dowens of soldiers; all listed as missing in action. Within those listed, are their own names. As discoveries are made inside the tank and they struggle to keep the forces outside at bay, little do they realise the real enemy is already amongst them, locked inside Tank 432. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION: “We’ve captured some of the most explosive sequences I could ever of hoped for, and having Ben involved from script stage has really helped these elements come together,” said Writer­Director Nick Gillespie. “We really got our hands dirty filming this one, cutting the sides off real tanks, running people over with tanks, setting people’s heads on fire, and things like that.

  • Skins</Italic>
    ‘Doing it for the kids’? The Discursive Construction of the Teenager and Teenage Sexuality in Skins Susan Berridge Abstract: The teen series is often regarded by television scholars as an inherently American genre. Indeed, the genre is marked by US constructs, such as the cheerleader, jock, homecoming dance and prom and, in turn, teen television scholarship has focused almost exclusively on US texts. However, more recent years have seen the emergence of British teen drama series, most notably Skins (E4, 2007–), which has been so successful that it has spawned an (albeit short- lived) US version which aired on MTV. In an attempt to redress the dearth of academic study of British teen dramas, this article explores Skins in more detail. Journalistic discourse on the programme has frequently emphasised the series’ nihilism in contrast to the didacticism that characterises its US generic counterparts, which the series’ creators justify by claims for its authenticity. This article moves beyond the authentic/inauthentic debate to explore instead the discursive construction of the teenager and teenage sexuality in the specific context of broadcasting in the UK. Thus, after situating Skins in relation to the history of youth programming in Britain and, specifically, on Channel 4, the article will explore issue-led storylines involving teenage sexuality in more detail. It will argue that despite the programme’s nihilistic ethos, Skins is underpinned by more conservative ideologies, particularly regarding the depiction of gender and sexuality. In turn, this ambivalence makes it difficult to discern the programme’s ideological stance on sexual issues. Keywords: Britain; Channel 4; representation; sexuality; teen drama; teenager; television.
