Britney Jean Spears (born on December 2, 1981 in Kentwood, LA, United States, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, United States) is a Grammy-winning multi-platinum American pop singer, songwriter, dancer and occasional actress. She debuted in 1998 with her single . Baby One More Time. Having sold more than 100 million records worldwide, she is one of the most influential and popular post-2000 icons of music, with six #1 albums on the Billboard 200 and The United World Chart. Spears is one of the few young musicians to appear on lists of best selling music acts of all-time. She also holds several world records. She has officially released seven studio albums to date:". Baby One More Time" (1999), "Oops. I Did It Again" (2000), "Britney" (2001), "In the Zone" (2003), "Blackout" (2007), "Circus" (2008), "Femme Fatale" (2011). Along with 2 official compilation albums, 2 official remixes albums and 1 official extended play: "Greatest Hits: My Prerogative" (2004), "B in the Mix: the Remixes" (2005), "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic" (2005), "The Singles Collection" (2009) and "B in the Mix: The Remixes Vol. 2" (2011). As a child, Spears performed as a cast member of The New Mickey Mouse Club from 1993 to 1994, along with Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera. In September 2004, she married Kevin Federline. The couple had two sons, Sean (born September 2005) and Jayden (born September 2006). Spears filed for divorce in November 2006. Britney's debut album' . Baby One More Time' was a huge commercial success. It debuted at number one in the U.S. with 120,500 copies sold in its first week on the Billboard 200, where it remained for 6 non-consecutive weeks, and it also debuted at number one in Canada, and reached the top ten in many other countries. The record has been certified 14? Platinum in the United States. It is the highest selling album by a teenager both in the US and worldwide. The album also spent fifty-one weeks in the top ten of the U.S. Billboard 200 and sixty weeks in the top twenty. With this, it became the second best-selling album of 1999, selling 8,358,619 in the United States, only behind Backstreet Boys' 'Millennium'. It stayed on the Billboard 200 for two years until it was moved to the Pop Catalog chart. According to the RIAA, it is the 27th best-selling album in American music history, and 4th best-selling album by a female artist. This album, its lyrics, and its music videos maintained the typical virgin image of the late 1990s teen pop revival for Spears. Following the success of her debut album, Spears released the album 'Oops. I Did It Again' in May 2000. It debuted at number one in the U.S. by selling 1,319,193 units during its first week of sales, breaking the SoundScan record for the highest album sales in its debut week by any solo artist. The RIAA awarded the album with a diamond certification with 10 million copies sold in the U.S. Spears released her third studio album 'Britney' in November 2001. Although not as successful as her previous albums, she assumed some creative control by co-writing five of the album's tracks. It surpassed Michael Jackson's album 'Invincible' when it had a successful debut at number one in the U.S. by selling 745,744 units during its first week. The album's success made her the only female artist in music history to have her first three albums debut at number one. Britney also became a Pepsi spokesperson in 2001, earning a $7-8 million endorsement deal. For the "We Will Rock You" Pepsi campaign, featuring Pink, Beyonce and Enrique Iglesias, Britney received $9.27 million. 2002 found Britney in her first movie role, the somewhat biographical Crossroads. Spears released her fourth studio album 'In the Zone' in November 2003, jettisoning the Max Martin-produced synthpop of her earlier releases. The album took in lesser-known producers such as RedZone and big names including Moby and R. Kelly. Spears co-wrote eight of the album's thirteen songs and co-produced several pieces of her material for the first time. 'In the Zone' reached number one in the U.S. charts during its debut week, selling over 609,000 copies. This made Spears the first female in the Nielsen SoundScan era to have her first four studio albums to debut at number one. All three singles, Me Against The Music, Toxic and Everytime, reached #1 on the Australian ARIA charts. 'Toxic' became one of Britney's signature songs and the video is considered by most to be her best. In July 2004, Spears became engaged to back-up dancer Kevin Federline. She and Federline were married on September 18 that same year. She also released a fragrance in September 2004, entitled Curious, and another, Fantasy, the following year. In early 2006, she released the limited edition fragrance In Control Curious. She released two more fragrances in 2007 and 2009 : Believe and Hidden Fantasy. November 2004 saw the release of her first greatest hits collection, 'Greatest Hits: My Prerogative', which features all of Spears's singles up to 'Outrageous' with the exception of "From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart". It also featured three previously unreleased songs, a cover version of American R&B singer Bobby Brown's 1988 hit "My Prerogative", "Do Somethin'", produced by Bloodshy and Avant, whom she had worked with on In The Zone, and "I've Just Begun (Havin' My Fun)", which was a song recorded for Spears's fourth album, In The Zone, but did not make the final cut. By the end of that year, Spears had become one of the best-selling artists in the world. Spears and her now husband Kevin, starred in their own reality television show, Britney and Kevin: Chaotic in the first half of 2005. In the final episode of the show, Spears debuted the single Someday (I Will Understand) but the song and video were not released in the US. 'Britney & Kevin: Chaotic. ' the bonus CD, includes Mona Lisa and Over To You Now. In November 2005, Spears released her first remix album, B In The Mix: The Remixes. The songs ranged from ". Baby One More Time" to "Toxic". Her newest single "Someday (I Will Understand)" was also remixed. Another single, "And Then We Kiss", was only released in Asia, where it charted in many countries. The song peaked at number 15 on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart despite it not being officially released in the U.S. It also peaked at #13 on Australia's Hot 30 Countdown despite not being officially released. In 2005, she won her first Grammy award for 'Best Dance Recording' for her song "Toxic". On September 14, 2005, Spears gave birth to her first child, a boy, named Sean Preston. She appeared as a guest on Will and Grace in 2006. During an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in May 2006, she announced that she was expecting once again. On September 12, 2006 Spears gave birth to her second child, a son named Jayden James. On November 6, 2006 Spears filed for divorce from husband Kevin Federline. The divorce was finalized on July 30, 2007. During 2007, Britney continually lost more and more custody of her children, until her mental breakdown, which resulted in her taking Jayden hostage in a bathroom for over three hours, in Jan 08 stripped her of any visitations whatsoever for over a month. Visitations after the month were heavily monitored. Britney now shares 50/50 custody and will take her sons on tour with her. On October 30, 2007 Spears released her 5th studio album entitled "Blackout" with its first single "Gimme More" being performed at the MTV Video Music Awards. "Gimme More was Britney's most successful single on the Billboard Hot 100 by peak position since ". Baby One More Time". The next two singles from "Blackout" were 'Piece of Me' and 'Break the Ice'. Britney did minimal promotion for the album and it's singles. For Gimme More, she filmed a music video and performed at the 2007 VMAs. For Piece of Me, she filmed a music video. For Break The Ice, an animated video was made. On September 7, 2008, Spears opened the MTV Video Music Awards for the third time. Although having not performed, a skit with Jonah Hill was pre-taped, as well as an introduction speech to the official opening of the show. Spears won Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Video Of The Year for "Piece of Me". On September 15, Jive released a statement announcing the title of her sixth studio album, Circus, as well as the first single, Womanizer. The single was released to radio stations on September 26, and the release date for the album was December 2, Spears' 27th birthday. The album was released in Australia on the 29th of November and in various European countries on the 27th. Britney heavily promoted the album with various performances around the world, a documentary on her life since recovering from her breakdown and an upcoming world tour. MTV signed a deal with Spears and Jive records to release a documentary titled 'For the Record', which aired on November 30, 2008, two days before the release of Circus. The documentary was shot over three months and featured Britney discussing her personal life as well as her career. Circus debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 selling 505,000 copies in its first week.

  • Interpreting in the Zone
    3 The Interpreter in the Zone (and Other Zones) Interpreting requires a high degree of concentration and engagement in the moment, and the results of the two studies indicate that this type of intense attention can lead to an in-the-zone experience. As introduced in Chapter 1, being “in the zone” is an exhilarating experience in which people are completely absorbed in what they are doing and are perform- ing at their best. Their skills and judgment rise to the challenges before them, and they experience a state of euphoria. Being in the Zone Professionals, artists, performers, athletes, and others report having in- the-zone (flow) experiences. Csikszentmihalyi1 clarifies what allows for this type of experience to occur by explaining, The optimal state of inner experience . [is one] in which there is order to consciousness. This happens when psychic energy—or attention—is invested in realistic goals, and when skills match the opportunities for action. The pursuit of a goal brings order in awareness because a person must concen- trate attention on the task at hand and momentarily forget everything else. These periods of struggling to overcome challenges are what people find to be the most enjoyable times of their lives.2 In-the-zone experiences are characterized by intense attention and the suc- cessful application of skills, expertise, and decision-making, which allow one to overcome challenges and to feel good about that accomplishment. Csikszentmihalyi explains that there are three primary characteristics of flow: the complexity of the experience, the pleasure of the experience, and its contribution to one’s ability to grow and develop.

  • Getting in the Zone, Part 1: Flow and Finding a State of Peak Performance
    MINDFUL VOICE Lynn Helding, Associate Editor Getting in the Zone, Part 1: Flow and Finding a State of Peak Performance Sean McCarther eople call it different names: in the zone, in the groove, on fire, in the moment, present, unified, tuned in, a high, a rush. All these terms describe a similar sensation. One of my first experiences of being “in the zone” was at the finals for a NATS competition Pduring my senior year of undergraduate studies. I was singing Papageno’s suicide aria from Die Zauberflöte, and, near the beginning of the aria, made a reaching gesture with my right hand. I remember watching my hand and arm shake violently and a sense of terror crept over me. In that moment, a Sean McCarther very simple thought came to me: “No.” My hand stopped shaking, my mind focused on the moment at hand, and I experienced a fascinating connection with the world around me. It was as if I could feel the audience, my pianist, and the music as never before. Time slowed down and I felt a unification of body, mind, and voice. It was as if I could do no wrong. And, in the blink of an eye, the aria was over. It was some of the most fun I had ever had performing. “This,” I said to myself. “I want more of this.” I later learned that what I had experienced is what Hungarian-born psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi calls “flow.” MIHALY CSIKSZENTMIHALYI AND THE CONCEPT OF FLOW For the first decade or so of his career Csikszentmihalyi’s primary focus was on the study of creativity.

We came in talking about parents and all the craziness we had to endure with them … remember watching Will Smith’s video for Parents Just Don’t Understand, and then the corny (but funny) song “Kids” from Bye Bye Byrdie? And improvising (hilarious) inner voice/outer voice conversations? And then our world turned upside down. We’ve never had a semester like this where so much of our work was completed online. No rehearsals, no more theatre games, no more seeing each other in person. Yet despite all this we came up with some great scripts and poems to show how parent and child relationships work in 2020. We loved the energy you brought to the group. Thank you for all your hard work in class and online.
