Although some tropes are present in the game and are necessary to stay tonally consistent to the genre, I argued that much of the focus of the game is shifted from the typical situational horror of the monsters and violence to the overall narrative, effective dialogue, strategic use of cinematic elements, and character development throughout the course of the game.

Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater announces the expansion of its online programs and events through August 2020. Arena Artistic Director Molly Smith has curated a diverse and engaging Spring/Summer Season, Looking Forward, connecting artists and audiences locally and nationally. In addition to the popular and in-demand Gifts of Art, Molly’s Salons, Broadway dance classes and Civil Dialogues, Smith has created a robust line-up of programming. “I had a major realization a few weeks after we closed our physical doors that without plays happening on our stages at Arena, the best way to communicate with our audiences is online,” says Artistic Director Molly Smith. “We are thrilled to share the Spring/Summer Season of Looking Forward. What makes us different from anyone else? We will always be in high touch with you even online and we promise to engage you intellectually, politically, emotionally and spiritually just like we do in the theater.” Arena will premiere two films that capture the heartbeat and spirit of the D.C. region’s response to COVID-19. Arena’s education program, Voices of Now, moved its rehearsals online following the closure of schools and adapted their traditional original theater showcase to film. Inside Voices: a film by Arena Stage’s Voices of Now ensembles is a time capsule created by 120 student artists’ through a devised theater process.

  • {FREE} Last of Us Poster Collection Ebook, Epub
    LAST OF US POSTER COLLECTION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Naughty Dog | 40 pages | 29 Apr 2014 | Insight Editions | 9781608873791 | English | San Rafael, United States The Poster Collection - The Last of Us (MERCH) - There are several options for printing a poster. You can opt to print it at home or use a professional service, which is available in person at stores and or via online vendors. Files need to be formatted a certain way before they're ready to be printed. Printing services may require specific formatting options too. CMYK offers better color profiles than RGB, and it may provide a more accurate preview of what finished poster will look like because the CMYK setting is used for computer screen images. Use vectors when creating your poster with a resolution of at least dpi dots per square inch for crisp results, according to Creative Bloq. Know what you want, including the poster size, type of paper and any other finishing details. There are many brick-and-mortar businesses that allow you to come in and create your poster for printing. For example, FedEx offers poster printing services, including poster prints, mounted posters, backlit prints for retail, photo posters, oversized prints and architectural prints. FedEx also produce professional signs and banners, which are ideal for businesses. If you don't have a poster design already or are unsure of where to start, head to a local printing store for help. Many printing businesses operate exclusively online. When you electronically submit your design, they will print your poster and mail it back to you.

Emotion, Meaning and the Voice The voice, with its seemingly limitless capacity for expression, plays a powerful role in conveying emotion and meaning in music. However, few of the scholars who study emotion and meaning in music focus on the role of the voice. My recital explores the integral role of vocal music in expressing the emotions involved in a sense of place, longing, and positive change. The Voice by Brendan Graham (2007).

  • Casting Women, Fat Stigma, and Broadway Bodies
    The Journal of American Drama and Theatre (JADT) https://jadt.commons.gc.cuny.edu "Must Be Heavyset": Casting Women, Fat Stigma, and Broadway Bodies by Ryan Donovan The Journal of American Drama and Theatre Volume 31, Number 3 (Spring 2019) ISNN 2376-4236 ©2019 by Martin E. Segal Theatre Center “We need a young girl who is—what shall we say—chubby/fat/big. But a healthy version of a fat girl, because she is dancing her ass off for two hours.” —Bernard Telsey, casting director[1] Introduction Casting director Craig Burns worked on Broadway’s Hairspray (2002) from its first workshops, and it remains his favorite production because of the opportunity to cast people who “weren’t normally considered for leads in a show, and now all of a sudden these girls are getting a chance because we need a fat girl. There was so much joy in that.”[2] Katrina Rose Dideriksen was one such woman given the chance to play Hairspray’s Tracy Turnblad on Broadway and on tour. She remembered feeling excited to play Tracy because she “is the ingénue, she wins the guy, she saves the day . she’s funny and she’s lovable and all those things, but in this very real-girl way.” Dideriksen then noticed a “weight clause” in her contract: “It was really this underlying pinch to realize that subconsciously I was being told I was still wrong for it, that there was something I had to fix. I don’t think they realized how hurtful, and how anti-Hairspray it really was for them to be like, ‘Lose 20 pounds.’”[3] Apart from a few roles (including Tracy), fat women are almost never cast in roles beyond the comedic sidekick or best friend in commercial theatre.
