Students from other Wyoming towns will travel at times to our various workshops held throughout the year. We invite nondominant communities to 307 Dance Academy by offering classes like our Firecrackers Adaptive Dance class and by providing need-based financial scholarships. The Firecrackers class is designated for students with special needs, including physical disabilities as well as developmental & learning disabilities. The age range for this class is 7-16 years old & is taught by a qualified teacher & assistant who have training & education in working with students with special needs. These students take weekly classes in which they receive technical training, proper vocabulary, & life skills. These students also perform in the community at various performances as well as perform during the year- end spring recital. 307 Dance Academy offers financial need based scholarships that cover monthly tuition for one class & a recital costume. We are proud to offer this opportunity for low-income families who would otherwise not be in a position to participate in the performing arts. 307 Dance Academy also strives to give back to our community by creating working relationships with other non-profit organizations including; Jason's Friends, Mimi's House, Boys & Girls Club, Dancer's Against Cancer, T-Bird Trek, & Casper Roll & Read. 307 Dance Academy measures it's outcome of our program & services provided by having a year-end evaluation completed by our parents & students. Each year we also strive to have faculty complete student evaluations to monitor the outcomes we have established for our students and programs. These outcomes vary depending on the class & ages of the students, however include the development of self, technique, thought process, commitment, & overall improvement in the specific class. We also monitor our progress by year end measurements of our programs & services by askina year-end evaluation completed by our staff. Returning enrollment, new enrollment, and completed yearly student enrollment are also indicator we use in evaluation of our services. We are requesting operating support for 307 Dance Academy. Our typical operating cost include payroll for our faculty to provide weekly instruction to our students, monthly rent, monthly utilities, various office supplies, classroom supplies, venue rental expenses for our yearly holiday and spring performances, performance costuming, advertising, insurance, and facility repairs and maintenance. The requested operating funds will be allocated towards our two biggest operating expenses of rent and payroll. In order to provide training to our students, as well as opportunities for performances, it is necessary to have adequate studio space and qualified faculty to teach and inspire the youth of our community. 307 Dance Academy constantly strives to provide opportunities for the youth of Casper and the surrounding communities by hosting workshops that provide a wide variety of highly qualified faculty with instruction in a variety dance forms. This summer we are thrilled to be offering a two-day master workshop. This workshop will provide opportunities to attend dance classes with professional artist who are working in the industry outside of Wyoming. Brining in these master classes gives an unique opportunity for our students to train with industry working professionals that they otherwise would not experience. The goal is for the workshop to take place at the 307 Dance Academy studio July 24-25, 2021. However, if there is a large interest and sign up for these workshops, we will need to look at renting a bigger venue site. This workshop involves several different style of classes for students ages 8-20 years old. This workshop will be open to all students in the Casper and surrounding communities. The goals of this arts learning opportunity include engaging students in the collaborative process. To strengthen student's creative skills in live performance through the study of craft and technique, to engage in critical studies and histories of dance, theater, and performance, and create unique and challenging training for live performances to share with our community. 307 Dance Academy's motto is "Inspire the Fire" and one goal of this includes exposing students in our community to outside working professionals, to inspire their desire to constantly learn new skills and techniques, and to share their craft and their love of the performing arts with others.

  • A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond
    A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond If you walk on and on, you get to your destination. If you question much, you get your information. If you do not sleep and idle, you preserve your life! (Maung Htin Aung 1959:87) So go the three lines of wisdom offered to the lazy student Maung Pauk Khaing in the well- known eponymous folk tale. A group of impoverished village youngsters, led by their teacher Daw Khin Thida, adapted the tale in 2007 in their first attempt to perform a play. From a well-to-do family that does not understand her philanthropic impulses, Khin Thida, an English teacher by profession, works at her free school in Insein, a suburb of Yangon (Rangoon) infamous for its prison. The shy students practiced first in Burmese for their village audience, and then in English for some foreign donors who were coming to visit the school. Khin Thida has also bought land in Bagan (Pagan) and is building a culture center there, hoping to attract the street children who currently pander to tourists at the site’s immense network of temples. TDR: The Drama Review 53:1 (T201) Spring 2009. ©2009 New York University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 93 Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/dram.2009.53.1.93 by guest on 02 October 2021 I first met Khin Thida in 2005 at NICA (Networking and Initiatives for Culture and the Arts), an independent nonprofit arts center founded in 2003 and run by Singaporean/Malaysian artists Jay Koh and Chu Yuan.

    Wyoming Press Kit Spring/Summer 2009 Contacts: Chuck Coon, 307.777.2831, [email protected] Lori Hogan, 307.777.2889, [email protected] www.wyomingtourism.org NEW Links to online video clips Teton Park Eclipses 80 As anniversaries go, 80 years is quite an accomplishment. February 26, 1929 was the day President Calvin Coolidge signed the bill creating Grand Teton National Park. Native Americans might not see the “Big 80” as such a big deal. Their ancestors are known to have summered in Lupine Meadows 12,000 years ago. And who could blame them? Three great rivers of the American West all have major tributaries with headwaters in the mountains around Jackson Hole. Water meant life in the West then as it does today. The Mountain Men, beginning with John Colter, arrived in the first half of the nineteenth century. Later days brought such trappers and explorers as Jedediah Smith, Jim Bridger and David (Davey) Jackson for whom the valley, or hole, was named. The late 1800s saw British men of leisure – gentleman hunters – trekking about the countryside with “an eye for the curious and beautiful,” wrote Jack Turner in his book Teewinot. No better words than curious and beautiful could be applied to the Teton Mountain Range as its glorious protrusions skirt the sky in close-up view of all passersby. You can return again and again for… well, twelve thousand years, and the range will never look the same. It is now possible to gain greater understanding of the park environment and enjoy your time in the Tetons even more by spending time with what Turner calls the “most recent tribes” – rangers and guides.

  • Wyoming Public Media Issues Report for 4Th Quarter of 2019 Prepared By
    Wyoming Public Media Issues Report for 4th Quarter of 2019 Prepared by Bob Beck ISSUE: Politics Topic: The Bureau of Land Management is moving more staff--and perhaps most significantly--its headquarters to the Mountain West. Depending on who you talk to, this will either make the BLM more efficient, or give preferential treatment to the fossil fuel industry. Noah Glick reports. Time: 4 min Date: 10/4/19 at 3pm and 10/6/19 at noon Topic: This week Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney rebuked President Trump’s strategy - or lack there of - in Syria. And she’s not alone, as Correspondent Matt Laslo reports from Washington. Time: 5 min Date: 11/1/19 at 3pm and 11/1/19 at noon. Topic: For years, Sheridan has debated whether or not it should employ a city administrator to handle day-to-day operations for the city. In July, the City Council passed an ordinance that updates a previous law that established the job. That new law has been challenged by a citizen petition, bringing the city to a special election on the topic. Wyoming Public Radio's Bob Beck spoke with Northeast reporter Catherine Wheeler to learn more about the election. Time: 6 min Date: 11/1/19 at 3pm and 11/1/19 at noon. Topic: Wyoming senior Senator Mike Enzi may be retiring, but that doesn’t mean he’s relaxing in Washington these days. This week the Budget Committee that he chairs passed a historic, bipartisan proposal to reform how the entire federal government spends money, as Correspondent Matt Laslo reports from Washington.

ISIM President’s Welcome ISIM President’s Welcome On behalf of the Board of Directors of the International Society for Improvised Music, I extend to all of you a hearty welcome to the sixth ISIM Festival/Conference. Nothing is more gratifying than gatherings of improvising musicians as our common process, regardless of surface differences in our creative expressions, unites us in ways that are truly unique. As the conference theme suggests, by going deep within our reservoir of creativity, we access subtle dimensions of self—or consciousness—that are the source of connections with not only our immediate communities but the world at large. It is dificult to imagine a moment in history when the need for this improvisation-driven, creativity revolution is greater on individual and collective scales than the present. Please join me in thanking the many individuals, far too many to list, who have been instrumental in making this event happen. Headliners Ikue Mori, Pyeng Threadgill, Wyldlife, Karl Berger, the University of Michigan Creative Arts Orchestra, the William Paterson University jazz group, Mulgrew Miller, Robert Dick, and Thomas Buckner—we could not have asked for a more varied and exciting line-up. ISIM Board members Stephen Nachmanovitch and Bill Johnson have provided invaluable assistance, with Steve working his usual heroics with the ISIM website in between, and sometimes during, his performing and speaking tours.

    2020 3rd Quarter Issues Report for Wyoming Public Media Issue: Health Topic: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the nation to figure out something it's tried to do for years: increase access to telehealth. But as emergency orders end, will that access remain? The Mountain West News Bureau's Madelyn Beck reports. Time: 5 min Date: 7/10/20 at 3pm and 7/12/20 at noon. As COVID-19 puts stress on the country's healthcare system, Wyoming medical workers are heading to overwhelmed places with high amounts of cases to help out. Sheridan VA Health System nurses are being sent on two-week stints to veteran and community facilities.

For 80 years, motorcyclists from around the world have flocked to Sturgis South Dakota for the event. Many of those bikers travel through Wyoming and spend quite a bit of time in the northeast part of the state. But this year, with concerns about the spread of the coronavirus, those communities are preparing for how the influx of visitors could affect their towns. Wyoming Public Radio's Catherine Wheeler has more.
