Collaborators will include the Freshwater Land Trust, the Hispanic Interest Coalition of Alabama, and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. Magic City Smooth Jazz $10,000 Birmingham, AL Challenge America To support Jazz in the Park, a series of free concerts in community parks located throughout the state of Alabama.

"61" refers to the latitude of Anchorage and other Northern cities such as Reykjavik, Helsinki, and Oslo, that also are being studied by scientists and others to understand the impacts of climate change. Through the project, artists and designers in these northern climates will share their vision of the environmental and cultural changes they witness due to climate change. Anchorage Museum Association (aka Anchorage Museum) $60,000 Anchorage, AK Art Works: Creativity Connects To support the creation and presentation of a series of virtual environments that will explore the ecology of the Arctic in partnership with the Alaska Center for Conservation Science.

Artist John Grade will create a sculptural installation that represents a pingo, a naturally occurring land formation in the Arctic tundra. Visitors will experience the pingo environment as tactile sculptures while also using augmented reality glasses-turning the room into an Arctic experience with imagery and sound. Additionally, the artist duo Lead Pencil will present "Ephemeral State," a research-based art project using developing technologies to explore the many iterations of water.

He was captured during his third month in Vietnam, spent nearly nine years as a prisoner of war-half in solitary confinement-and then returned home to an unfamiliar nation and an estranged family. The creative team may include director Helena Binder, scenic and video designer Scott Holdredge, and conductor Douglas Kinney Frost who will lead a cast that may include baritone Gregory Gerbrandt and soprano Jennifer Goode Cooper. An evening dress rehearsal for students, admission-free pre-performance lecture-demonstrations by the creative team, and a panel discussion involving some of the artists presented in the television studio of Alaska Public Media will round out this project. As many as four performances will occur at the Sydney Laurence Theatre in the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts in early 2017.

  • Cole Porter: the Social Significance of Selected Love Lyrics of the 1930S
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Unisa Institutional Repository Cole Porter: the social significance of selected love lyrics of the 1930s by MARILYN JUNE HOLLOWAY submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject of ENGLISH at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR IA RABINOWITZ November 2010 DECLARATION i SUMMARY This dissertation examines selected love lyrics composed during the 1930s by Cole Porter, whose witty and urbane music epitomized the Golden era of American light music. These lyrics present an interesting paradox – a man who longed for his music to be accepted by the American public, yet remained indifferent to the social mores of the time. Porter offered trenchant social commentary aimed at a society restricted by social taboos and cultural conventions. The argument develops systematically through a chronological and contextual study of the influences of people and events on a man and his music. The prosodic intonation and imagistic texture of the lyrics demonstrate an intimate correlation between personality and composition which, in turn, is supported by the biographical content. KEY WORDS: Broadway, Cole Porter, early Hollywood musicals, gays and musicals, innuendo, musical comedy, social taboos, song lyrics, Tin Pan Alley, 1930 film censorship ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should like to thank Professor Ivan Rabinowitz, my supervisor, who has been both my mentor and an unfailing source of encouragement; Dawie Malan who was so patient in sourcing material from libraries around the world with remarkable fortitude and good humour; Dr Robin Lee who suggested the title of my dissertation; Dr Elspa Hovgaard who provided academic and helpful comment; my husband, Henry Holloway, a musicologist of world renown, who had to share me with another man for three years; and the man himself, Cole Porter, whose lyrics have thrilled, and will continue to thrill, music lovers with their sophistication and wit.

  • Cubed Circle Newsletter 241 – Consistency Is Hard
    Cubed Circle Newsletter 241 – Consistency is Hard As many of probably noticed, we have been posting late and sporadically for the last month. This was, obviously, not our intention, but with the second semester eating into my free time, staying up to date is a tall order. Even without the newsletter itself seeing weekly publication the site has still remained up to date on a weekly basis, thanks primarily to co-author Ben Carass, as well as guest writers Paul Cooke and Leslie Lee III. But, the newsletter has survived for well over 241 weeks, and will hopefully thrive in the years to come. I have attempted to make provisions for publishing related tasks which should minimize the risk of major delays (obviously there will be some regular delays, as this late issue can attest), but we have some fail safes in place in order to keep this to a minimum. With all of this said, we have a great issue for everyone this week with Paul Cooke discussing the Pro-Wrestling Only Greatest Wrestler Ever project and his personal experience with the poll, Ben covers the news including tons of results from Japan and the Lesnar USADA violation, the Mixed Bag returns with a look at comedy wrestling, Ricochet/Ospreay, and a potential WWE match of the year -- plus Ben also looks at last Sunday's Battleground show and the first RAW of the brand split (a very good show). Also, for those unaware, we now have an official Twitter account @CubedCircleWres allowing the banger to unprecedented highs at @BenCarass and @RyanClingman.
