  • Become a Smarter Thinker
    Inquiries: Pamela Wallin, Box 581, Wadena, Saskatchewan, S0A 4J0 | [email protected] | 306-338-9045 BECOME A SMARTER THINKER “If you look at the three most important things in life – it’s like a triangle: the top is values - personal values, spiritual values, religious values; then you have health; the third is thinking. People spend a lot of time on health but how often do you hear someone say “I’m interested in becoming a better thinker?” Edward de Bono Thinking smarter, unlike staying stupid or keeping an open mind, is really about thinking in a different way. This idea has captivated me for years. How do we think? What’s the difference between mind and brain? So I’ve put the questions, time and gain, to artists, Nobel Prize Winners, high tech gurus and to the world’s leading thinker on thinking. Dr.de Bono has written more than fifty books, he teaches thinking to Nobel Prize winners and he discovered the concept called lateral thinking which he explains this way: “You can’t dig a hole in a different place by digging the same hole deeper.” As for becoming a smarter thinker: “It’s like a car – you can have a powerful engine, good suspension – that’s the potential of the car. An intelligent brain also has a lot of potential – the neurons work faster. But the way you drive the car makes all the difference. So does the way you use your brain – and that’s the thinking skill.” He was so smart I just wanted to hug him or at the very least, hope that the prediction of another brainiac would come true.

By foregrounding the role of the audience in creating meaning and by minimizing the “show” as a coherent work, I reconnect musicals to their roots in comedy by way of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of carnival and reduced laughter. The audiences I study are kids, queers, and collectors, an alliterative set of people whose gender identities and expressions all depart from or fall outside of the normative binary. Focusing on these audiences, whose musical comedy fandom is widely acknowledged but little studied, I follow Raymond Knapp and Stacy Wolf to demonstrate that musical comedy provides a forum for identity formation especially for these problematically gendered audiences. ii The dissertation of Samuel Dworkin Baltimore is approved.
