  • Using Men's Changing Rooms When You Haven't Got a Penis
    Using Men’s Changing Rooms When You Haven’t Got a Penis: The constitutive potential of performing transgendered masculinities Catherine McNamara, Central School of Speech and Drama Abstract This article is a consideration of the ways that transgender performers and queer bodies in performance contribute to the ongoing formation of the category of gender. It explores the relationship between performing transgendered masculinities and the constitutive potential of the law (namely the Gender Recognition Act 2004) surrounding (trans)gender identity. The article looks at examples of performance by transgender performance artists, Jason Barker staged as part of the annual Transfabulous International Festival of Transgender Arts in 2006 and 2007 and Lazlo Pearlman in He Was a Sailor, the Sea Was Inside Him (Drill Hall, London, 2007). Trans and queer performance work is still, for the most part, left out of academic discourse within performance studies. Engaging with trans art and trans artists in relation to shifts in legislation around gender brings very specific readings into the public domain. This record of performance that takes place beyond the mainstream brings transgender and genderqueer1 performance practice to the fore. Keywords transgender queer performance 1 Transfabulous Gender Recognition Act Jason Barker Lazlo Pearlman Queer performance creates publics by bringing together live bodies in space, and the theatrical experience is not just about what’s on stage but also about who’s in the audience creating community. (Cvetkovich 2003: 9) Trans performance work still finds itself left out of academic discourse about performance studies. This article explores the performance of transgendered masculinities and considers the significance of these performances as they go beyond offering a call for recognition of an identity category.

Glee and Flash Mobs 1 Glee, Flash Mobs, and the Creation of Heightened Realities In May of 2009 the television series Glee (Fox, 2009-2015) made its debut on the Fox network, in the coveted post-American Idol (2002-present) timeslot. Glee was already facing an uphill battle due to its musical theatre genre; the few attempts at a musical television series in the medium’s history, Cop Rock (ABC, 1990) and Viva Laughlin (CBS, 2007) among them, had been overall failures. Yet Glee managed to defeat the odds, earning high ratings in its first two seasons and lasting a total of six. Critics early on attributed Glee’s success to the popularity of the Disney Channel’s television movie High School Musical (2006) and its subsequent sequels, concerts and soundtracks. That alone cannot account for the long-term sensation that Glee became, when one acknowledges that High School Musical was a stand-alone movie (sequels notwithstanding).

Jones B.M., Middle Tennessee State University, 2001 M.M., East Carolina University, 2007 Committee Chair: Earl Rivers, D.M.A. ABSTRACT Collegiate male glee clubs have flourished in the United States since the first glee club was established in 1858 at Harvard University. For more than 150 years men’s glee clubs have proliferated from predominately autonomous student-led social organizations singing of school pride and spirit to organizations of musical and artistic prominence. While many collegiate glee clubs still retain certain elements of a social and fraternal-like nature, faculty directors helped instill traditions of musical excellence through various artistic missions, initiatives, and endeavors. Published historical accounts pertaining to the rich histories associated with individual glee clubs, as well as the movement as a whole, are sparse, and continued research in this field is needed to enhance the historical contributions of the male choral arts.

Interviews were conducted with supervisors who had participated in local and distant supervision to explore challenges and adaptations throughout the first year of the distant model. Aside from areas of consensus, such as difficulties with communication, observations, coaching, and seminar meetings, the supervisors revealed distinctly different responses to the expectation of carrying out the distant supervision model with fidelity.
