  • Leading the Way a PHILOSOPHY - in PROGRESS
    1 “The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.” —Plato 2 Leading the Way A PHILOSOPHY - IN PROGRESS [ INTRODUCTION \ he doors of our first school opened in 1968 because of the desire to experience firsthand Tthe marvelous thrills and excitement in the world of children. When we began, we had no idea of how our programs would evolve. Our intention was to meet the growing needs of families by integrating daycare and preschool into one program, something that seemed a bit radical back then. Today, with 10 locations and 19 programs, we are the only organization in Northern California providing private education and daycare for children from six weeks to 12 years of age. Of interest to us as founders is the tremendous amount of learning that goes on each year in young children. It has always been exciting for John and I to see all the important loving and guiding experiences of infancy incorporated into the children’s development. We believe we have an opportunity to influence much of what will happen to children as they go through elementary school, junior high school and on into adult life. It also is a real challenge to our staff to provide an environment that will encourage maximum development for children, as positive experiences during the early years lead to much greater success in the future. Through the years, we have faced many challenges. In the beginning, just getting the first school ready to open was quite an endeavor. Inspired by our vision of creating a unique and nurturing place for learning, we rolled up our sleeves and did whatever we could ourselves, disregarding the fact that we had no prior experience in many of the tasks we were about to undertake.

  • MEN, MASCULINITIES and MUSICAL THEATRE By
    ‘NOT JUST FOR GAYS ANYMORE’: MEN, MASCULINITIES AND MUSICAL THEATRE by JAMES MICHAEL LOVELOCK A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Music School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis explores how the changing masculinities of the 21st century have affected how young men connect to musical theatre as a genre that has been stereotypically seen as gay. The investigation is first located in the theoretical framework of masculinities, utilising the concepts of the male sex role, hegemonic masculinities and inclusive masculinity to chart how the performance of the male gender has changed over the past century. The project then adopts an empirical approach to a group of 161 men and 25 women, establishing a methodological framework for correlating sexual orientation with attitudes towards musical theatre. There is a further honing of this methodology through the adoption of Jenifer Toksvig’s The Fairytale Moment exercise, which identifies how each participant connects to narrative through a core emotional drive.

  • Harmony and Discord Within the English 'Counter- Culture', 1965-1975, with Particular Reference to the 'Rock Operas'
    Harmony and discord within the English ‘Counter- Culture’, 1965-1975, with particular reference to the ‘Rock Operas’ Hair, Godspell, Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar. Christopher John McGowan This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Queen Mary, University of London 1 Declaration The work presented in this thesis is my own. This thesis consists of 99,999 words, inclusive of footnotes and excluding bibliography. Signed: Christopher John McGowan 20 November 2011 2 Abstract This thesis considers the discrete, historically-specific theatrical and musical sub- genre of ‘Rock Opera’ as a lens through which to examine the cultural, political and social changes that are widely assumed to have characterised ‘The Sixties’ in Britain. The musical and dramatic texts, creation and production of Hair (1967), Tommy (1969), Godspell (1971), Jesus Christ Superstar (1970) and other neglected ‘Rock Operas’ of the period are analysed. Their great popularity with ‘mainstream’ audiences is considered and contrasted with the overwhelmingly negative and often internally contradictory reaction towards them from the English ‘counter-culture’. This examination offers new insights into both the ‘counter- culture’ and the ‘mainstream’ against which it claimed to define and differentiate itself. The four ‘Rock Operas’, two of which are based upon Christian scriptures, are considered as narratives of spiritual quest. The relationship between the often controversial quests for re-defined forms of faith and the apparently precipitous ‘secularization’ and ‘de-Christianization’ of British society during the 1960s and 1970s is considered. The thesis therefore analyses the ‘Rock Operas’ as significant, enlightening prisms through which to view many of the profound societal debates – over ‘faith’ and ‘belief’ in the widest senses, sexuality, the Vietnam war, generational conflict, drugs and ‘spiritual enlightenment’, and race – which were, to some considerable extent, elevated onto the national, political agenda by the activities of the broadly- defined ‘counter-culture’.
