2020 Brunner Award Recipient ELANA ABRAMS
2020 Brunner Award Recipient ELANA ABRAMS ACLU Summer Internship Elana Abrams is currently a junior at Bronx Science and is dedicated to creating a more inclusive and accepting environment, whether that be in school or in her larger community. She is immersed in social activism and enjoys taking part in and facilitating dialogue. She is involved in a diverse array of activities in which she has taken on leadership roles. Elana is a part of Bronx Science’s student government, senate, national honors society, and speech and debate team and is the president of her youth group. She is an Anti-Defamation League certified peer trainer and a founding member of Bronx Science’s equity team. She was also a member of the National Organization for Women. She is creative and her desire to create has led to her passion for painting, playing the guitar, and writing. Elana is unafraid to speak her mind and enjoys discussing politics with people who have opposing views. This, coupled with her desire to create a more equitable society, has led to her involvement in politics, specifically through the ACLU National Advocacy Institute. Through her involvement with the ACLU, she hopes to learn more about the inner workings of professional social activists, politicians, and lawyers as well as create meaningful relationships with people who share her goals and aspirations. In the long term, Elana wants to have a role in politics through the fourth branch of government, as believed to be by Thomas Jefferson: the media. Elana will be attending ACLU’s Summer Intensive virtually, where she will work with lawyers, lobbyists and activists to gain real-world experience in social justice. -
Call Me Queer
Call Me Queer: Queer theory and the Soundtrack of Call Me by Your Name Zora van Harten 4246551 dr. Floris Schuiling bachelor thesis MU3V14004 Musicology University of Utrecht Word count: 5559 Introduction In a culture that classifies the world through binary categories, entities that fall in between those 1 categories are often subjected to fear and anxiety. It is therefore no surprise that two subjects as fluid, undefinable and abstract as music and queer identities both have been occupying 2 controversial positions within Western history. Remarkably, both these subjects are central to the critically acclaimed film Call Me by Your Name. The film, directed by Italian director Luca Guadagnino, is part of his so-called “desire” film trilogy, together with earlier films Il Sono L’Amore (2009) and A Bigger Splash (2015). It tells the story of a summer romance between a seventeen year old boy called Elio, and Oliver, a twenty-eight year old scholar who is invited to work on his doctoral thesis while staying in Elio’s parents’ summer house in Italy. Its narrative features a nuanced and fluid, and therefore queer conception of desire and sexuality; the characters stay out of defined categories through the ambiguous meaning of the film’s dialogue and their sexual identities. In this film, music takes on a remarkable position. Elio uses music to express the multiple outlets regarding his desire for Oliver. Moreover, the songs, and piano works of the soundtrack are often combined with the relatively loud presence of sounds such as the movement of water, crickets or the wind rushing through the trees which could point towards a more affective experience of sound for the audience. -

Our work changed overnight, and we could look back at our own naivete in the ‘before time’ with a longing nostalgia. Perhaps once in a generation there is an event that so deeply impacts the very nature of life on this planet that it becomes their defining moment. As a society we have had to forge a way forward. As educators we have had to forge a way forward, as education is essential to our future. As live performers, we are working to forge a way forward in an industry that was the first to close and will be the last to fully return; and yet ‘live performance’ is so crucial and necessary to expressing our very soul and the struggles we confront. Our season theme is not rebuilding or reshaping our world. -

SLOW FOOD ESL Federal Credit Union 2019-2020 Season Continues with a Crave-Able Comedy to Warm up the Winter
Media Contact: Dawn Kellogg Communications Manager (585) 420-2059 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GEVA’S 47TH SEASON CONTINUES WITH SLOW FOOD ESL Federal Credit Union 2019-2020 Season continues with a crave-able comedy to warm up the winter. Rochester, N.Y., December 27, 2019 – Geva Theatre Center presents Slow Food, by Wendy MacLeod and directed by Skip Greer, in the Elaine P. Wilson Stage from January 14 through February 9. Peter and Irene’s anniversary celebration in Palm Springs is off to a rocky start, but they are looking forward to a nice meal in a local restaurant. It’s just their luck to be served (or not) by a perfectionist waiter who won’t bring them their food and has them questioning everything – from their menu selections to the state of their marriage. Wendy MacLeod’s play The House of Yes became an award-winning Miramax film starring Parker Posey. Her other plays include Sin (The Goodman, Second Stage), Schoolgirl Figure (The Goodman Theatre), The Water Children and Juvenilia (Playwrights Horizons), and Things Being What They Are (Seattle Repertory Theatre, Steppenwolf Theatre). Her play Find and Sign premiered at the Pioneer Theater in Salt Lake City and her play This Flight Tonight was included in Standing On Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays and seen across the country and in New York City at the Minetta Lane. She was the first playwright chosen for The Writers’ Room residency at The Arden Theatre in Philadelphia, where she wrote Women in Jeopardy!, which received its premiere production at Geva Theatre Center in 2015. -
