The mask is a disguise, but it can be a useful one; however all masks fall away, in the end, we are left with our true selves. In their celebrated piece, Delfos examines the masks we wear to survive, to love, and to endure in a world that seems never to want us to take the mask off. Eloise Kazán’s stunning costumes, along with a striking video stage-design adds to the startling visual feast that surrounds this evening-length work. “When Disguises are Hung Up is impressive in the way that Delfos is deeply exploring and questioning one’s daily life. The audience was immersed in the work via the interpretative power of the dancers, along with real-time video, computer animation, and haunting score. It was a well-deserved extended standing ovation for Delfos.” Héctor Guardado, Noroeste.

    INVITING THE WORLD INVESTING IN DALLAS 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 1 “A robust tourism industry helps our great city thrive and is a critical component of the Dallas economy. The first thing that visitors to Dallas experience is our hospitality, making the industry vital to establishing and maintaining our reputation around the world.” Eric Johnson Mayor of the City of Dallas TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Message 3 Background & Mission 4 Financial Overview 8 Budget Categories 1| Sales & Incentives 9 2| Marketing 13 3| Site Visits & Tours 16 4| Local Arts & Events Incentives 19 5| Administration & Research 24 Investing in Dallas 26 Big goals. Great partnership. Dallas is well known for its beautiful skyline, its impressive buildings and its rich heritage. What we consider most impressive, though, is the spirit of its people, and our collective power to make change. Big change. Together since 2012, private hoteliers in Dallas have been able to work with the public in a unique partnership with a shared goal: Enhance tourism. Dallas was the first major city in Texas to establish a Tourism Public Improvement District, which by law allowed us to utilize travelers’ dollars in a strategic way to not only grow the number of visitors to our city, but also to enrich the lives of the people who live and work in Dallas. Other cities, seeing our success, have followed suit. As usual, Dallas leads the way, and in a big way, with the most wins by any Texas Tourism Public Improvement District to date. Since the Dallas Tourism Public Improvement District’s (DTPID) inception in 2012, together we have realized a multi-billion-dollar economic impact.

    Philosophy Department University of Dallas Alumni Newsletter Issue 5 Fall, 2013 Dear Alumnae and Alumni, Inside this issue: It has been a busy fall semester here in the Philosophy Department. Our Senior Seminar was devoted to Frederick D. Wilhelmsen 2 “Philosophy & Architecture.” Based on Christian Norberg Schulz’s phenomenological approach to archi- tecture, the course asked the seniors to bring their philosophical education to bear on questions of the Philosophy & Fashion: 3 built environment: What does a house have to look like so that it is appropriate for human dwelling? New class offered at UD Can a modern city still reflect its natural environment? But also: What architectural criteria does a church have to fulfill in order to constitute a meaningful space for the celebration of the liturgy? As part Senior Architecture Tour 4 of the course, we took a walk through downtown Dallas, under the expert guidance of Lyle Novinski, with Lyle Novinski Professor Emeritus of Art. In this newsletter, Sarah Vukalović reports on the experience.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Dancing Cross-Cultural Misunderstandings
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Dancing Cross-cultural Misunderstandings: The American Dance Festival in China’s New Era A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Fangfei Miao 2019 © Copyright by Fangfei Miao 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Dancing Cross-cultural Misunderstandings: The American Dance Festival in China’s New Era by Fangfei Miao Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Susan Leigh Foster, Chair This dissertation explores the embodiment of cross-cultural misunderstandings in a key transitional period in modern China—the late 1980s, during the country’s economic reformation and cultural opening to the West after the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976). From 1987 to 1991, teachers from the American Dance Festival (ADF), at the invitation of the Guangdong (Canton) Dance School, trained the first group of professional modern dancers in China, known as the “Guangdong Modern Dance Experimental Program,” profoundly altering the history of Chinese modern dance in the New Era (1978–). Based on this program, China established its first modern dance company in 1992—the Guangdong Modern Dance Company.
