  • Woman on Fire: Jana Schneider from Spark to Finish by Melanie Williams
    Woman on Fire: Jana Schneider from Spark to Finish by Melanie Williams Amongst the Ashes The amass of trees in the front yard of the Schneider household is quite shocking when juxtaposed with the rest of barren, heavily landscaped suburbia. The small, ranch- style home still stands with integrity despite its age, as does its occupant Jana (formerly Janet) Schneider of McFarland, Wis. Her shiny, obviously well kept Mercedes looks out of place parked in what appears to be an average garage full of gardening equipment and boxes labeled “J.S.” in thick black marker. There’s no seeing what’s in the boxes, but research explains what they most likely hold. How she came about enough money to afford such a luxurious car remains unexplained as she lights up a cigarette and sits, legs crossed, in a rusty lawn chair. She inhales, exhales smoke through her nose, and makes a few grunting noises as she adjusts herself. She flicks her Marlboro Light sending gray and white ash into her unruly, black hair. The chair snags her brown, oversized sweater causing a couple of strings to fray around the cuff. Since there are already several noticeable holes in her corduroy pants, the loose strings only add to the distressed look of her secondhand clothing. She comments briefly on the nice weather. The sun is shining for the first time all week and the natural light in the garage casts the shadow of her lanky figure and flawless facial features as she lounges in her chair and uses the smoldering end of her cigarette to light a second one.

  • STAGES Theatre Circle INSIGHTS Special Edition - Fall 2014 Indiana University Department of Theatre, Drama, + Contemporary Dance
    STAGES Theatre Circle INSIGHTS Special Edition - Fall 2014 Indiana University Department of Theatre, Drama, + Contemporary Dance IU Theatre’s Journey to the Prague Quadrennial of Performance, Design, and Space n 2010 faculty Technical Director Paul Brunner was selected Ito be part of the United States entry in the 2015 Prague Qua- drennial. As a member of the design team, Paul has been attend- ing weekly webinar meetings with team colleagues in New York, London, Houston, and L.A. to discuss the design and fabrication details. Eight IU students applied to take part in the project and volunteered five weeks of their summer to fabricate two exhibits at IU’s Scenic Studio: the national exhibit that represents U.S. design- ers, and the student exhibit which highlights schools of theatre. Tese students will travel to Prague next summer to install the exhibits and serve as hosts to thousands of attendees from around the world. Te opportunity for these theatre students to attend the Prague Quadrennial, to be exposed to the very best in design and live performance from around the world, and to spend almost three weeks in Prague is a rich and life-changing experience. Of the eight students, four are funded by the project’s major sponsor, the United States Institute for Teatre Technology (USITT.org), and four by a gracious local donor. It is not easy to put the Quadrennial into context.
