  • Women in Comedy
    WOMEN IN COMEDY BACKGROUND: MAKERS: Women In Comedy tracks the rise of women in the world of comedy, from the “dangerous” comedy of 70s sitcoms like Norman Lear’s Maude to the groundbreaking women of the 1980s American comedy club boom and building to today’s multifaceted landscape. Today, movies like Bridesmaids break box office records and the women of Saturday Night Live are often more famous than their male counterparts, but it didn’t start out that way. Early breakout female comics had to keep their jokes within the safe context of marriage, motherhood, and a man’s world. But they still found a way to be subversive. As Joan Rivers puts it, “I was furious about having to get married… It all comes out on stage. So that’s what I do onstage. I really tell them the truth.” Soon comedy became a vehicle for women to take on some of the most sensitive and controversial issues of the day. On television in the 1960s, entertainers like Carol Burnett and Mary Tyler Moore illuminated the core issues of feminism with humor that was both sly and truthful. But it took a powerful male producer to bring the most provocative feminist characters onto the screen. Maude, who Lear introduced to audiences in 1971, was a feminist firebrand on her fourth husband, strong and independent with a razor sharp wit. “When Maude was on the air,” Lear tells us, “I used to get letters from the First Lady, Betty Ford…. And she always signed every letter ‘Maude’s #1 fan’.” When Maude chose to have an abortion at 47, religious groups protested, but the episode was watched by 65 million Americans.

It sits next to Farragut Projects, tucked a few blocks away from Fort Greene Park and its neighboring brownstones. But today is Aug. 22, Day 1 of the Afropunk Music Festival. It’s 5 p.m— the hundreds of attendees gathered under the hot sun press against the barricade separating them from the empty main stage. No one wants to miss a moment of Ms. Lauryn Hill, who’s scheduled as the next performer. But Ms. Lauryn Hill isn’t the performer who gets on stage next. Transgender activist Cherno Biko leads a cavalcade of fellow protesters on stage to speak out against the violence wrought against black transgender bodies.

  • Understanding and Managing Student Responses to Comedy
    [Scholarship-to-Practice Column] DISCOMFORT, OFFENSE, TRIGGER: UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGING STUDENT RESPONSES TO COMEDY Amma Marfo, SPEAK Educators Jason Meier, Emerson College OMEDY, LIKE HIGHER EDUCATION, is an institution forged from and heavily influenced by tradition. CPerformers readily recite their influences, drawing a clear line between their idols and the art they current- ly create onstage. However, because culture and norms surrounding comedy are considerably more malleable than those surrounding higher education, a previously symbiotic relationship has become harder to navigate with understanding. In one Instagram post, Roy Wood, Jr. managed to encapsulate the current challenges these norms highlight between comedy and campus environments. The comedian,Daily Show correspondent and NACA Hall of Famer shared a series of texts to a comic playing his first college campus. Among the gems within the series are “material wise. [sic] always ask for what hte [sic] language parameters are (if you care about getting rebooked) otherwise be yourself,” “don’t go over your time. but DEFINITELY don’t go under your time,” and “read the campus paper when you get to the venue. Or read it online. It’s a treasure trove of local material and things you can use as natural segues into stuff you already have jokes about.” The advice depicts someone who has, in the lexicon of performance, “paid his dues” and wanted to provide a strong performance. It also reflects generational differences that are being blamed for the dread many perform- ers feel in this environment. For example, this generation doesn’t really f*** w/ standup comedy. they didn’t grow up with it on tv so you have to connect with them on the things that interest them first if you really want to take them on a journey into your world [...] not their fault.

  • Literacy Alive
    Literacy Alive “Student of the Day” The procedures you use for your classroom will need to be taught to the children. As with any program, children need to learn the predictable pattern to what is coming next to feel safe and secure in their environment. By providing a routine for the children to follow, they will learn much more. The following procedures are how to start the “Student of the Day” interactive writing time. The teacher begins each day by drawing a stick out of a can to see who will be the “Student of the Day.” Write the children’s names individually on Popsicle sticks and place them in a can labeled “Name of the Day.” Also, have a can that is labeled “I had a turn” so you can keep track of who has had a turn. Tell the children they are name detectives, and it is their job to listen to the clues and discover who is our “Student of the Day.” After drawing a student’s name, refer to the class Name Chart to draw attention to the specific features of each student’s name and use an elimination process to figure whose name has been drawn. After the students are detectives and guess whose name has been chosen, that child will take his/her place at the interactive writing chart. Place a square piece of wood or a chair beside the chart stand, and call it the stage. This gives the child a boundary and lets him be interactive and still stay out of the rest of the students’ line of vision.
