PAUL Now you can book on-line with PenAir and enjoy the convenience of e-ticketing. 1-800-448-4226 True North Letter From The Editor ~tllJ~ . The staff of True North considers it a blessing and slight burden to carry on the legacy of this magazine. For 12 years, True North has showcased the distinctiveness of Anchorage, and the university that is its quiet economic and cultural force. This year is no exception. True North 2006 revels in some of the essential reasons to love where we live. We will introduce you to some local cowpokes and let you in on what comes after competing in the Olympics. We're pretty sure we know exactly how you should spend your tax refund and we suggest how to get around, "get down," and enjoy the summer sun. We have an insider's view of plastic surgery in the Last Frontier. And, just like any other college class, there's a test at the end, but the only study guide you'll need is a pair of bunny boots and a roll of duct tape. It was my pleasure this year to work with such an exceptional staff. As individuals, we are privileged to do something we love and (eventually) make a living from it. Each writer, photographer and designer for TN has drawn from a source of creativity and managed to stay confident and positive despite obstacles. We hope that what you discover this year is not only enjoyable, but also encourages you to go out and unearth your own reasons to love this place. - Forrest Schroeder-Einwiller, editor in chief True North Vol. 12 A production of the UAA Department of Journalism and Public CommunicatlOns Assistant Professor Paola Banchero, True North adviser 907-786-4194 truenorthmag net/ truenorth(iI,uaa.alaska.edu 1 True North Table ents Love This Place Community 49th state of mind Inside Juneau Keep the spirit alive Working for the powerful Page 37 Page 10-11 Are you a true Alaskan?

Because the earth rotates at a tilt, the northern and southern hemispheres have a solstice completely opposite of one another. Summer in Alaska is defined by the activi­ ties that go along with the solstice. All across the state there are parties, music festivals, barbecues and baseball games to not only enjoy the warm nights, but also to celebrate the arrival of summer. Here is a list of all the happenings this year: Fairbanks: Catch a late-night game with the world's most northern baseball club, the Fairbanks Goldpanners, in the 101st annual Midnight Sun Baseball Classic. What began as a bet between two bars over a century ago has turned into one of baseball's most distinctive events. June 21 Growden Memo­ rial Park.

The Hurricanes have agreed to extend their affiliation with the River Rats through the 2008-2009 season, but the Avalanche will begin a new affiliation with Cleveland next season. NAMING RIGHTS: Last year the county signed a $3.5 M 10-year naming-rights contract with the Times Union which will expire in 2016. The newspaper agreed to pay $350,000 a year, as well as provide advertising and other promotional benefits.

The building has been upgraded with improved locker rooms, exercise rooms, and skyboxes while the team pays minimal rent and enjoys a share of advertising, concession, and parking revenues. Furthermore, the county is seeking a private management group to run the arena. Two firms solicited proposals last year, Philadelphia-based SMG and the B-Sens, but the county legislature defeated a proposal that would have either running the facilities.

  • The Performance Culture of Burning Man
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE PERFORMANCE CULTURE OF BURNING MAN Wendy Ann Clupper, PhD, 2007 Directed By: Dr. Franklin J. Hildy, Department of Theatre and Performance Studies Theatre in the United States for the last twenty years has been evolving in scope by way of a cultural phenomenon known as Burning Man. In 2006, this festival attracted over forty thousand participants to the Black Rock Desert in Northwestern Nevada to a flat dusty Playa surrounded by mountain ranges. While the natural environment there is hostile, the creative atmosphere is welcoming and invites a broad scope of performative behaviors and genres to be exhibited there, the entire week the festival takes place. Make-shift stages and theme camps, as well as large- scale interactive art pieces play host to participants who dress up in fanciful costumes to perform in all manner of imagining. This dissertation maps out the cultural terrain of Burning Man in order to explain how performing there is form of identity-making and cultural commodity. As one of a handful of North American festivals which expressly discourage commercialism and commodification, theatricality takes the place of significance for entertainment and communication. Performance forms of all kinds historically are represented at Burning Man and this dissertation will investigate and theorize how a new performance culture has emerged from the festival itself and by its presence as a theatrical event, has exposed and expanded performance and theatre forms. This dissertation offers a critical framework through which to consider performance and performers within the Burning Man community as applied to Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of Carnival and the Schema for Theatrical Eventness proposed by the International Federation for Theatre Research Theatrical Events Working Group.
