  • Among Us by Nina Runa Essendrop
    1 . Among us By Nina Runa Essendrop A poetic and sensuous scenario about human loneliness and about the longing of the angels for the profound beauty which is found in every human life. 2 Preview Humans are ever present. They see the world in colors. They feel and they think and they walk on two feet. They touch the water and feel the cold softness of the surface. They gaze at the horizon and think deep thoughts about their existence. Humans feel the wind against their faces, they laugh and they cry and their pleading eyes seek for a meaning in the world around them. They breathe too fast and they forget to feel the ground under their feet or the invisible hand on their shoulder, which gently offers them comfort and peace. Angels exist among the humans. Invisible and untouchable they witness how humans live their lives. Their silent voices gently form mankind’s horizons, far away and so very very close that only children and dreamers will sense their presence. "Among us" is a poetic and sensuous scenario about a lonely human being, an angel who chooses the immediacy of mortal life, and an angel who continues to be the invisible guardian of mankind. It is a slow and thoughtful experience focussing on how beautiful, difficult and meaningful it is to be a human being. The scenario is played as a chamber larp and the players will be prepared for the play-style and tools through a workshop. The scenario is based on the film ”Wings of Desire” by Win Wender.

  • The Second Try
    The Second Try Jimmy Wolk Chapter I: The 12th Shinji Ikari, Third Children and designated pilot of Evangelion Unit-01, had just reached a new sync- ratio record. And as Rei Ayanami suspected, the former holder of this record, known as Asuka Langley Soryu, wasn't very pleased with this. So she didn't pay much attention to the rants of the Second Children, who made obviously ironical statements about the 'great, invincible Shinji' while holding herself; swaying in front of her locker. Instead, Rei finished changing from the plugsuit the pilots were supposed to wear during their time in the entry plugs of the EVAs or the test plugs, into her casual school uniform. As soon as she was done, she went silently for the door of the female pilots' changing room, whispered "Sayonara" and left. With the First Children gone, Asuka could finally release all the feelings that tensed up the last hours in a powerful... ...sigh. She still had problems to play this charade in front of everyone, and it seemed to only grow harder. She wasn't sure if she would be able to keep it up much longer at all. Not while these thoughts disturbed her mind; thoughts of all the things that happened... or will happen soon. Lost in her worries, she failed to notice someone entering the room, sneaking up to her and suddenly embracing her from behind; encircling her arms with his own. She tensed up noticeably as she felt the touch, even though (or maybe just because) she knew exactly who the stranger was.

B IT- PREFACE The present volume will, it is hoped, be found to contain a selection of Sacred Poetry, of such a character as can be placed with profit and pleasure in the hands of intelligent children from eight to fourteen years of age, both on Sundays and at other times. It may be well for the Compiler to make some remarks upon the principles which have been adopted in the present selection. Dr. Johnson has said that " the word Sacred should never be applied but where some reference may be made to a higher Being, or where some duty is exacted, or implied." The Compiler be lieves she has selected few poems whose insertion may not be justified by this definition, though several perhaps may not be of such a nature as are popularly termed sacred. Those which appear under the division of the Incarnate Word, and of Praise, and Prayer, are of course in some cases directly hymns, and in all cases founded upon the great doctrines of the Christian faith, or upon the events of the Redeemer's life.

Then & Now: The Relevance of Tennessee Williams for the 21st- Century Actress Marcie Danae Bealer Honors Thesis Ouachita Baptist University Spring 2009 Bealer 2 Finding a place to begin, discussing the role Tennessee Williams has played in the American Theatre is a daunting task. As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

Bibliography 75 Perla 2 CHAPTER 1: Rebooting Race: An Introduction to the Afrofuturist World of Signification In pop-icon Janelle Monáe’s futuristic world, race is a technology and androids dream of falling in love. Janelle Monáe’s seven-part concept album tells the story of the android Cindi Mayweather, who falls in love with a human and must go into exile to avoid punishment for her transgressive act. Escaping into the Wondaground, a zone reminiscent of the Underground Railroad, Mayweather comes to represent a revolutionary figure that preaches to other androids the liberating power of self-love, dance, and cyber-soul to free “the citizens of Metropolis from the Great Divide” (BadBoy Records, 2010).1 While she draws on Fritz Lange’s Metropolis, Monáe reframes the science fiction classic to discuss structural inequality built into the foundations of the U.S. In Lange’s 1927 film, Maria prophesizes that a mediator will come to Metropolis in order to unite the working class and wealthy elite.

  • Sermon Transcript
    coahtoronto.com ___________________________________________________________________ “Prepare the Way for the Lord” Luke 1:1-25 Pastor Peter Yi November 22, 2020 (Luke 1:1-25) Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. 5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. 6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly. 7 But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old. 8 Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God, 9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10 And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside. 11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear.
