NOTE: Scene change music for The 2013 Boulder International Fringe Festival was improv-ed using the musical motifs from the PV Score and are not included as of yet. 1 - 1 - 1! !Scene 1: On the Highways and Roads of Los Angeles MUSIC 1: THE HISTORY OF ME (PROLOGUE) (CUE TRACK 01) ! (Lights dim. PROF slowly meanders to center stage looking disheveled. He carries a cardboard sign with marker lettering “WILL WAIT FOR FOOD.” He awkwardly clears his throat. Very off the cuff and sardonically. ) PROF (To audience) Just so you know - during our special time here - there might be....sudden music. And singing. And it might happen. Together. And I'm not saying this will or will not occur, but I'm not ruling out funny movements - like synchronized seizures or convulsions (as though he's really disappointed in having to say this) - dancing. All of what I just mentioned - simultaneously occurring - all together. (He pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket.) Like a three ring circus of building emotion that is far too explosive and enormous to contain in a regular Joe conversation. Musical theatre, or as some like to call it: life. (Disgusted, he rolls his eyes) Okay, you've all been warned. Get out now while you can (under breath), if you can. (Honestly laughs, which turns into an embarrassed, disapproving head shake... As if he's being reminded from the booth) Oh, and turn off those snazzy gadgets that are suppose to make you be smarter but really make you look stupid - like you're looking for a lost contact that you're already holding in your hand. Hey, there's no App for this thing. This...life. (Looks off to side.) Can I get my money now? (BUS DRIVER - a member of the band - appears and is in bus uniform shirt, black pants and black driver’s hat. He pulls out a $5 bill and hands to PROF.) BUS DRIVER Thanks, buddy. That’s all for today. Check next door at the cigarette place if you want more work. (THE HISTORY OF ME underscore begins and cast enters on their appropriate music cues. The Bus Driver adjusts his hat, tries to look official, wipes his shirt, getting rid of crumbs.) BUS DRIVER Crosstown Line 20 now departing. Please keep your things close or you will have to come talk to Ulra in Lost & Found. I think you’d rather not lose your things. Crosstown 20 now departing. 1 - 1 - 2! (GG runs on to catch the bus. GG shows the Bus Driver his bus pass, then goes to drum set. GG settles in his seat and looks out the window. He then pulls his sketchbook out and begins leafing through the finished pages.) RADIO ANNOUNCER! V.O. (In high energy, polished radio voice) In KCLA traffic, cars are already backed up at the Cahuenga/101 exit. There appears to be what could be a body in the right lane, or possibly a mannequin that fell off of a truck? Who knows! EMT crews are on their way, and we’ll update you as soon as we are in-the-know. Hold on to your hats everyone - it’s another crazy L.A. rush hour. ! (As GG raps/sings, he and the cast begin their movement/choreography around the five chairs - all are in L.A. traffic. Prof wanders around on his own.) ! GG (Raps.) SKETCHES ARE LITTLE QUESTIONS ASKING TO BE UNCOVERED HIDDEN THEY LEAVE SUGGESTIONS ! JUST WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED A PENCIL A NUMBER TWO OH, HOW IT DANCES ACROSS THE PAGE AND JUST IN CASE MY PLANS FALL THROUGH AN ERASER REINVENTS THE STAGE (Sings.) L.A.’S BIG AND OMINOUS BUT STILL I CHOOSE TO STAY ! PUTTING UP WITH WHAT I’D RATHER NOT FROM WEST HOLLY WOOD TO DISNEYLAND ON ANY GIVEN DAY ! THE SCENE IS “LOOK AT ME AND LOOK AT WHAT I’VE GOT” ! (Prof bends over with his ass crack exposed in GG's appalled face.) 1 - 1 - 3 GG !Oh. My. God. Now I’ve seen everything! (Raps.) I’M A CYNIC AND I MEAN SARCASTIC ALL AT NINETEEN ADOPTED PROBABLY THE WHITEST LATINO YOU’VE SEEN ! I WISH I MADE THIS UP! MY TASTES ARE RATHER EXTREME I’M A REBEL THERE ARE NO IN-BETWEENS I’M A VANDAL AND I GOTTA SCREAM I’M A VANDAL AND I GOTTA SCREAM I’M A LOVER AND I A DREAM! (Sings.) THE NAME OF THE GAME IS STEPPING UP BOMBING - BEIN’ SEEN ! SEARCHING FOR THE WHO I’M MEANT TO BE YOU THINK, MAN, YOU’RE MOVING FORWARD YOU’RE SET YOU’RE ALMOST FREE AND THEN I GLANCE BEHIND STILL SEARCHING FOR THE HIST’RY OF ME... ! (GG looks out the bus window, deep in thought.) GRACE, IZZY, MARCUS ! OO... ! (GG’s phone rings.) GG !Izzy, you gonna meet me tonight?! IZZY !So, I’m on the cute boy bus. What bus are you on? GG (Looks around) I’m definitely not on the cute! boy bus. 1 - 1 - 4 IZZY Well, what kind of bus would that be exactly? Come on, use your colorful adjectives to !paint me a picture. GG Let’s just say I feel like we’re going to end up at a prison gate if my stop doesn’t come soon. ! IZZY !As a verbalist, you disappoint me. Did you find him? GG !Yep, that’s where I’m headin’ now to check in. IZZY Well, like I said, I’m on the cute boy bus. And this guy’s been eying me since I got on at !Santa Monica. Hey! Maybe I should pull a “Call Me Maybe?” GG (Singsongy) SOMEBODY'S ON THEIR WAY TO EMBARRASSKIN’ THEMSELVES! !Don't go all Miley on me. I will never be able to show my public persona with you again. IZZY YOLO, buddy, YOLO. I'm headin' in. This girl's headin' in. Shit! This big monstrosity of !a lady just moved over there before me. AWWWW.... Now, I can't even see him. GG What's she doing, eatin' him? Well, walk around her if you know this love connection is !a sure thang. Stand up, girl! IZZY The girl's big boned and stop using that .....your "black" voice. I can use my hispanic voice because I was properly raised. Your white parents never fooled nobody, mm !hmmm. So. Said. I. GG Oh, and by the way, YOLO was so last year. ! (NOTE: Due to production time restraints, the main vocals mm. 86-102 ! were spoken as dialogue. ) IZZY !Well, memo to you - ! 1 - 1 - 5 YOU’RE SUCH A LOSER YEAH, YOU’RE THE LOSER ! JINX! GG ! JINX! IZZY JINX! ! GG JINX! ! IZZY ! JINX! GG ! JINX! IZZY ! JINX! GG ! JINX! ! IZZY GG YOU CAN’T TALK YOU CAN’T TALK NO! NO! YOU! YOU! ! LA LA LA LA LA LA LA ! LA LA LA LA LA LA LA ! GO FIND A LIFE ! GO FIND A LIFE YOU FIRST YOU FIRST ! F.M.L. ! F.M.L. NO, FUCK OUR LIVES! NO, FUCK OUR LIVES! YEAH, FUCK OUR! LIVES! HA! YEAH, FUCK OUR LIVES! HA! (Music stops.) GG No seriously, F.O.L. This bus hopping is for the buzzards. When do you get your car !back? 1 - 1 - 5 ! (Music underscore begins and builds.) IZZY (Imitating her parents in a Spanish accent) "When you can act like a respectful, kind, responsible human being and babysit your sisters' kids." Hey when do you get yours !back? Oh - hey, gotta go - it's my stop.

    PLAYING AGAINST THE ROLES SCENE 1 Scene 1. The roof of Daniel and Estrella’s old apartment complex. DANIEL: Estrella! Why did you want to meet here? We’re going to miss the party! ESTRELLA: Can you believe how much this place has changed? DANIEL: I don’t even recognize it. ESTRELLA: It’s all so… white. It used to be filled with smells and sounds and people. DANIEL: Like the sounds of my terrible violin playing. ESTRELLA: I remember the smells that came from those windows. Mi abuela cooking (She pauses and smells the air) mole and fresh tortillas, and elote, and capirotada. DANIEL and ESTRELLA: and that awful Posole. They both make a face. DANIEL: We played for hours. ESTRELLA: With my Barbies. DANIEL: They were rich. ESTRELLA: and they had a swimming pool and like 10 kids and they always fought. DANIEL: Like my mom and dad. Before he left… ESTRELLA: but remember… we would run away and sneak out. DANIEL: And just lay up here and just look at the stars. They sit in silence remembering the past. DANIEL: You know… in a new place, you can be anyone you want. ESTRELLA: Easy for you to say, ”Dannie Beckerman football star.” (She laughs to herself) DANIEL: Speaking of… that party. You promised you’d come. ESTRELLA: I know. Just one more minute. 1 Scene 2 Scene 1. Friday Night. A teenage house party. We hear bumpin music, perhaps something by Drake or Kanye. DANIEL AND ESTRELLA enter the party. There are groups of mostly McGregor High School students scattered about the room laughing and talking loudly.

  • Funk the Clock: Transgressing Time While Young, Prescient and Black A
    Funk the Clock: Transgressing Time While Young, Prescient and Black A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Rahsaan Mahadeo IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisers: David Pellow and Joyce Bell August 2019 © 2019 Rahsaan Mahadeo Acknowledgements Pursuing a PhD has at times felt like the most selfish endeavor I have ever undertaken. For I knew that every book I read and every paper I wrote was largely for personal gain. Not coming from academic lineage or economic privilege, I could not escape the profound sense of guilt of leaving so many behind in the everyday struggle to live, labor and learn in a school that is less of a land-grant institution and more of a land-grab institution; an educational system that is more private than public; a corporation that presents students with more educational opportunists than educational opportunities; a sea of scholarship that looks more like colonizer ships; and a tower that is as anti ebony as it is ivory. Most know it as the “U of M,” when it is really the U of empire. Here, I would like to take the opportunity to counter the university’s individualistic and neoliberal logic to thank several people who have helped me cope with the challenges of living, learning and laboring in a space designed without me (and many others) in mind. Thank you to my advisers David Pellow and Joyce Bell for supporting me along my graduate school journey. Though illegible to the university, I recognize and appreciate the inordinate amount of labor you perform inside and outside the classroom.

SKY - NIGHT 1 The sound of an orchestra tuning up. Tilt down from twinkling stars to reveal the most beautiful old theatre in a street heaving with life... ...But not human life. This is a city inhabited entirely by animals. We glide under the illuminated marquee and through the doors into a grand foyer, where the very last patrons hurry to their seats... 2 INT. THEATRE - CONTINUOUS 2 The ornate house lights dim... Voices hushed. The music starts. The orchestra is loud and dramatic. BACKSTAGE: A lever is pulled... A sandbag drops from the rafters... STAGE MANAGER Places, everyone! A stage light turns on and points towards the stage. A MONKEY stands in the wings and pulls tightly on a rope. The Curtain opens, revealing a stage set resembling an enchanted wood. FROM THE WINGS we see the back of a FEMALE SHEEP (NANA NOODLEMAN) in a stunning purple dress and a tiara waiting to go on stage. STAGE HANDS adjust the train of her gown. Nana’s shoulders rise and fall as she takes a last breath before stepping out. As NANA raises her face into the spotlight she sings “Golden Slumbers” by the Beatles.
