Laporte High School Marching Band Goes to Disney World by Rick A THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 28, Number 10 Thursday, March 15, 2012 LaPorte High School Marching Band Goes to Disney World by Rick A. Richards For a musician, few things equal the thrill of marching down the middle of Main Street on a clear, sunny day, soaking in the applause from both sides of the street. But when that parade is down Main Street USA at Disney World in Orlando, Fla., well it’s a thrill that’s hard to describe. Si Si Chen, In December, that’s exactly what the LaPorte Hailey Sprouse, High School Marching Band did. Even though the Alan Garber, setting was in the heart of Disney World, for direc- Patrick tor Mickey Stisher, it was a parade just like those O’Brien, and Brittany Epley he done hundreds of times before. That, however, in front of didn’t diminish the excitement he felt for this group Cinderella’s of marching band members. Castle, Magic Kingdom “Every fourth year we make a trip like this,” says Stisher. “It was Disney World this year, but we’ve been to the Thanksgiving Day parade in Philadel- phia and the Capitol One Bowl in Florida. It’s not always Disney World.” By going every fourth year, Stisher says each member of the band will experience a trip once in their high school career.

We answered a questionnaire and they wanted to see our marching band contest results and photos of our band. It was like applying for a job.” Stisher praised the community for its support in making sure the band was able to get to Flor- ida. “Getting there was defi nitely a community effort.” In thinking about how many band trips he’s made in his career, Stisher was stumped. “I can’t honestly show how many trips like this I’ve made.” Sarah Domench, a spokeswoman for Disney World, said LaPorte was invited to take part in the Disney Performing Arts Program. March- ing bands from all over the United States are invited. She says there also are dance groups, choirs and ensembles invited and that the program er, who has been teaching for 30 years. “We try to has been a part of Disney for 25 years. pack as much as we can into the trip.

  • Form Vision Hans Theys
    Form Vision Hans Theys Form Vision Artists on Art Tornado Editions 2019 To Tamara Van San In 1983, a fellow student handed me this Banda copy, suggesting it might be interesting for me – as an aficionado of art and literature – to study the writings of Kafka without interpreting them. The origin of the book you are holding now lies within this generous gesture. Thirty years later, when I accidently rediscovered it, I realised that the text quotes a book by Susan Sontag, translated and typewritten by an unknown hand. Everyone has a sort of individual form vision. In all the greatest artists the seeds of this form vision has been present even in their early work, and to some extent their work has been a gradual unfolding of this rhythm throughout. (…) It’s something the artist can’t control – it’s his make up. (…) The less conscious you are of your own individual form rhythm, the more likely it is, I think, to get richer and fuller and develop. Henry Moore, 1941 What is important now is to recover our senses. We must learn to see more, to hear more, to feel more. Our task is not to find the maximum amount of content in a work of art, much less to squeeze more content out of the work than is already there. Our task is to cut back content so that we can see the thing at all. (…) The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.

    An Analysis of Shaping of Female Characters in Films Directed by Mainland Chinese, Taiwanese and Chinese Diasporic Female Directors Hongyu An Faculty Advisor: Carlos Rojas Asian and Middle Eastern Studies March 2021 This project was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Liberal Studies Program in the Graduate School of Duke University. Copyright by Hongyu An 2021 Abstract This thesis intends to examine the shaping of female characters in films directed by Chinese female directors. Six films are selected as examples: The Crossing (Guo chun tian, Bai Xue, 2019), Angels Wear White (Jia nian hua, Vivian Qu, 2017), Love Education (Xiang ai xiang qin, Sylvia Chang, 2017), Dear Ex (Shei Xian Ai Shang Ta De, Mag Hsu and Chih- Yen Hsu, 2018), Song of the Exile (Ke tu qiu hen, Ann Hui, 1990), and The Farewell (Lulu Wang, 2019). The selected films are divided into three groups: those directed by mainland Chinese, Taiwanese and Chinese diasporic women. By comparing the female characters with their counterparts and by analyzing the character shaping and identity formation of the female protagonists in these films, this thesis will discuss the commonalities and differences among the protagonists. The project is not intended to make general and mechanical conclusions, but to show how a variety of female characters have appeared in recent Chinese films directed by female directors, and how these characters epitomize different groups of women or female identities in the current Chinese society.

  • Adjunct Activities
    The Seward Johnson Atelier ACTIVITIES TO ENHANCE YOUR EXHIBITION l. Photo Contest This is a great event that has been very enthusiastically received in many sites as a way to encourage lots of community involvement with the exhibit. Get some local businesses to contribute prizes (an inexpensive camera from a photo shop, a dinner at a local restaurant, a night at a hotel). It is usually pretty easy to get them on board for this for the inherent publicity. Then announce via local TV, radio, posters, and newspapers the news of the contest. Applications can be picked up around town at businesses, or perhaps the newspaper will print them for you on the living/style section pages along with your walking tour map. Participants are asked to take photos, the only constant being that the sculptures be the subject (or part of); anything from artistic lighting at sunrise to the family dog posing. Entries are submitted to a “committee” (you, your art committee, local artists and photographers, whomever). The “show” of photos can be mounted in a visible lobby of a bank or other public access building drawing in all the participants to see their competition and having the prize winning top three entries presented with their awards at an opening. (Another fun and positive press event. This contest also encourages talk around town about the show and is incentive for people to see each and every sculpture to find the best spot to shoot their prize photo. Please note that The Seward Johnson Atelier may also be able to provide a Seward Johnson sculpture book or miniature to use as prizes.

  • “ Magdalena Abakanowicz Ve “Agora” Adli Yerleştirmesi ”
    “ Magdalena Abakanowicz VE “AGORA” ADLI YERLEŞTİRMESİ ” Doç. Ayşe BİLİR* ÖZET Bu araştırmada, kamusal alandaki sanat çalışmaları ile dikkat çeken ve yapıtları ile yetkin bir konuma sahip olan Magdalena Abakanowicz’in Agora adlı yerleştirmesi konu edilmektedir. Yazıda Agora ile birebir karşılaşmanın sonucunda edinilen izlenim ve duyumsamalar üzerinden yapıtın bireysel, yerel ve küresel etkenlerle olan etkileşiminin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Agora, sanatçının çocuk belleğine yer etmiş savaşın vahşetinin kişisel anlatım dilinin biçimlenmesinde belirleyici bir unsur olduğunu yansıtması açısından önemli bir örnektir. Yerleştirmedeki heykeller insan vücudunun baş, kol, el gibi kısımları eksik bırakılarak, gelişigüzel ve kabaca yapılmış gibi gö- rünseler de metaforik anlamlarla yüklüdürler. Demir döküm olan heykeller tek kalıptan dökülmüş izlenimi bırakmalarına rağmen hepsi birbirinden farklıdır. Sanatçı heykellerin yüzeyinde eliyle müdahale ederek oluşturduğu dokularla enerjisi yüksek, gerilimli farklılıklar elde etmiştir. Her şeyin estetikleştirildiği ve görselleştirildiği bir çağda yerleştirmenin gelişigüzel, özensiz yapılmış izlenimi uyandıran görünümüne karşın rahatsız eden, şaşırtan, şoke eden görünümüne yüklenen metaforik anlamlar zihinsel bir çabayı gerektirmekte ve bu yönüyle çağı yeniden düşünmeyi tetik- lemektedir.
