John O’Neal, Co-Founder, Free Southern Theatre ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I turned 62 on June 18, 2019. In my wildest dreams, I never imagined that I would return to school for my doctorate in my later years. In 2010, it was suggested by a friend, Donell Williams, that I should enroll in graduate school at UC Merced. I was not working and had no idea what to do after losing my position as Allocator at Pacific Maritime Association in Oakland, CA because of the 2008 stock market crash. I was honored that Professors Gregg Camfield and Nigel Hatton agreed to be my advisors. I was unsure about my area of research until Professor Hatton said to do what I love. I love African American theatre, particularly the theatre of the Black Arts Movement (BAM). It opens my heart in a manner that almost nothing has before.

  • The Rhythm of Life
    THE RHYTHM OF LIFE Resource Pack Introduction This pack celebrates music and the benefits of its use in working with older people. In particular it celebrates the musical experiences gained from a collaborative project involving 104 older people in care settings across County Durham, along with their support workers, local authority activity staff, and professional musicians from Live Music Now. Music has been shown to have many benefits in care settings, ranging from increased self-confidence and social interaction, to improved physical coordination and memory function. The Rhythm of Life project was designed to explore these benefits by inspiring older people in sheltered accommodation / housing and day care settings to develop their musical skills and enjoy creating and performing their own songs and stories. They were encouraged to explore using music as a creative outlet, while participating in singing, playing instruments, writing poetry and sharing memories. The idea of this pack is to bring together our findings from the Rhythm of Life project and provide a resource for activity staff and non-musicians to develop music work with diverse user groups. It is designed to offer tips for planning your sessions, ideas for activities that you can develop and thoughts on evaluating and documenting your sessions in a way that is relevant and meaningful. Most of all we hope you find the pack encourages everyone who looks at it to think about and celebrate what makes music so special, fun and unique in the way it can be a part of everyone’s Rhythm of Life. Ros Hawley, April 2010 “I really enjoyed the music today because I was actually doing it myself, rather than just listening.

  • Selling Masculinity at Warner Bros.: William Powell, a Case Study
    Katie Walsh Selling Masculinity at Warner Bros.: William Powell, A Case Study Abstract William Powell became a star in the 1930s due to his unique brand of suave charm and witty humor—a quality that could only be expressed with the advent of sound film, and one that took him from mid-level player typecast as a villain, to one of the most popular romantic comedy leads of the era. His charm lay in the nonchalant sophistication that came naturally to Powell and that he displayed with ease both on screen and off. He was exemplary of the success of the new kind of star that came into their own during the transition to sound: sharp- or silver-tongued actors who were charming because of their way with words and not because of their silver screen faces. Powell also exercised a great deal of control over his publicity and star image, which is best examined during his short and failed tenure as a Warner Bros. during the advent of his rise to stardom. Despite holding a great amount of power in his billing and creative control, Powell was given a parade of cookie-cutter dangerous playboy roles, and the terms of his contract and salary were constantly in flux over the three years he spent there. With the help of his agent Myron Selznick, Powell was able to navigate between three studios in only a matter of a few years, in search of the perfect fit for his natural abilities as an actor. This experimentation with star image and publicity marked the period of the early 1930s in Hollywood, as studios dealt with the quickly evolving art and technological form, industrial and business practices, and a shifting cultural and moral landscape.

In 1982, a collecting effort was formalized at the Historical Society to address the concern for the paucity of records available for doing research on the history of African Americans in the state. The purpose of that effort continues to be to collect, process, preserve, and disseminate information related to the history of black Hoosiers. The Archivist, African American History is available to answer and direct research questions from the public. Indiana Historical Society members can receive Black History News & Notes, a quarterly newsletter that publicizes library collections, relevant historical events, and short papers pertaining to Indiana’s black history. Preserving Indiana’s African American heritage is a cooperative venture. The Society needs your help in providing information about existing records in attics, basements, and garages that can be added to the library’s collections. As more records are collected and organized, a more accurate and complete interpretation of Indiana history will emerge.
