DIE LIEBE DER DANAE July 29 – August 7, 2011 the richard b. fisher center for the performing arts at bard college About The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, an environment for world-class artistic presentation in the Hudson Valley, was designed by Frank Gehry and opened in 2003. Risk-taking performances and provocative programs take place in the 800-seat Sosnoff Theater, a proscenium-arch space; and in the 220-seat Theater Two, which features a flexible seating configuration. The Center is home to Bard College’s Theater and Dance Programs, and host to two annual summer festivals: SummerScape, which offers opera, dance, theater, operetta, film, and cabaret; and the Bard Music Festival, which celebrates its 22nd year in August, with “Sibelius and His World.” The Center bears the name of the late Richard B. Fisher, the former chair of Bard College’s Board of Trustees. This magnificent building is a tribute to his vision and leadership. The outstanding arts events that take place here would not be possible without the contributions made by the Friends of the Fisher Center.

The Waste Land: a Personal Grouse
The Waste Land: A Personal Grouse Leon Surette University of Western Ontario Eliot¶s Waste Land must be the most discussed and analyzed poem of its length in the language, yet, for all that, it is perhaps still the most contested of all poems firmly ensconced in the canon. Initially receivedat least by its boostersas an articulation of the alienation, disillusion and scepticism of the young twentieth century, it has since been attacked from many anglesas reactionary, mystical, homosexual, anti-Semitic, elitist, phallocentric andperhaps most damaginglyas a con.

Poetics and the Waste Land
Poetics and The Waste Land Subjects, Objects and the “Poem Including History” Wassim Rustom A Thesis Presented to The Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages University of Oslo In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the MA Degree May 2016 Poetics and The Waste Land Subjects, Objects and the “Poem Including History” Wassim Rustom © Wassim Rustom 2016 Poetics and The Waste Land: Subjects, Objects and the “Poem Including History” Wassim Rustom http://www.duo.uio.no Abstract The aim of this thesis is to trace key elements of the poetics that produced The Waste Land, T. S. Eliot’s landmark work of modernist poetry. Part I of the thesis examines the development of the Hulme-Pound-Eliot strand of modernist poetry through a focus on the question of subjectivity and the relationship between philosophical-epistemological ideas and modernist poetics. It traces a movement from a poetic approach centred on the individual consciousness towards one that aims to incorporate multiple subjectivities. Part II offers a complementary account of Eliot’s shift towards a more expansive scope of subject matter and of the fragmented poetic structure of The Waste Land. The argument is based on Jacques Rancière’s analysis of the modern regime of poetics dominant in the West since the Romantics, which identifies “literature” with the “life of a people” and is characterized by an inclusive logic that poeticizes ordinary subjects, objects and fragments.

Copyright Introduction Because of his wide−ranging contributions to poetry, criticism, prose, and drama, some critics consider Thomas Sterns Eliot one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century. The Waste Land can arguably be cited as his most influential work. When Eliot published this complex poem in 1922—first in his own literary magazine Criterion, then a month later in wider circulation in the Dial— it set off a critical firestorm in the literary world. The work is commonly regarded as one of the seminal works of modernist literature. Indeed, when many critics saw the poem for the first time, it seemed too modern. -
Life Is a Dream I.Fdx
Life is a Dream: A New Vintage Magical Realism Adaptation by Calderon Adapted by Annie R. Such Annie R. Such [email protected] www.arsplays.com 917.474.4850 CHARACTER NAME BRIEF DESCRIPTION AGE GENDER ACT I We hear whispers echoed as if in a cave. The lights come up on Segismundo sleeping in his cell held by chains and lit by a tine lamp. He is dressed in rags and animal skins. The whispers become clear bible verses, studies of the universe, all seem to swirl around the man. As the scene mounts, the whispers beckon him “Wake Up, Wake Up, Wake Up” HIGH ON A MOUNTAIN. THE WIND HOWLS AS THE SUN SETS. ROSAURA, DRESSED IN MALE SAILING ATTIRE, COMES UP FROM BEHIND THE BACK OF THE MOUNTAIN. ROSAURA Damn You, Poland. You give an ill welcome to a foreigner. Your blood stained sands mark an unwanted entrance into your lands. Don’t you know how long I’ve traveled, how far I’ve come? Hardly have I voyaged without struggles and torment- ‘Tis in my blood. But when have the unfortunate ever been delivered mercy? Clarin, Rosaura’s servant, comes around the mountain, panting heavily, carrying luggage like a pack mule. CLARIN Don’t speak for me, Lady-- as a lackey on your revenge quest, I should resent being added to your anguish, but not your speech to the stars. ROSAURA I refrained from giving you a share in my laments, Clarin, so as not to deprive you of your own soliloquy, your own philosophical answer to a rhetorical whine. -

Solo List and Reccomended List for 02-03-04 Ver 3
Please read this before using this recommended guide! The following pages are being uploaded to the OSSAA webpage STRICTLY AS A GUIDE TO SOLO AND ENSEMBLE LITERATURE. In 1999 there was a desire to have a required list of solo and ensemble literature, similar to the PML that large groups are required to perform. Many hours were spent creating the following document to provide “graded lists” of literature for every instrument and voice part. The theory was a student who made a superior rating on a solo would be required to move up the list the next year, to a more challenging solo. After 2 years of debating the issue, the music advisory committee voted NOT to continue with the solo/ensemble required list because there was simply too much music written to confine a person to perform from such a limited list. In 2001 the music advisor committee voted NOT to proceed with the required list, but rather use it as “Recommended Literature” for each instrument or voice part. Any reference to “required lists” or “no exceptions” in this document need to be ignored, as it has not been updated since 2001. If you have any questions as to the rules and regulations governing solo and ensemble events, please refer back to the OSSAA Rules and Regulation Manual for the current year, or contact the music administrator at the OSSAA. 105 SOLO ENSEMBLE REGULATIONS 1. Pianos - It is recommended that you use digital pianos when accoustic pianos are not available or if it is most cost effective to use a digital piano. -

James Maddalena Baritone (Updated February 2014. Please discard previous materials.) The renowned baritone James Maddalena commands a large and varied repertoire ranging from Monteverdi to contemporary opera.

His association with John Adams continued in two more recent roles: the Captain in Adams’s The Death of Klinghoffer, which premiered at the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels and received performances at the Opera de Lyon, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, San Francisco Opera, and at the Vienna Festival prior to being recorded by Nonesuch under Kent Nagano; and Jack Hubbard in Doctor Atomic for San Francisco Opera.
