  • DANCER of the WEEK – Dominic North Fri 5 August
    DANCER OF THE WEEK – Dominic North Fri 5 August Matthew Bourne’s Sleeping Beauty is in Singapore this week at the Esplanade Theatre before heading to Shanghai, China next week. Nick Kyprianou, our Audience Engagement Coordinator got the chance to speak to Dominic this week. Dominic has been with New Adventures since 2004 and has generated quite a following worldwide, performing in many principal roles for the Company. He was first seen in Swan Lake as a Swan and is currently performing as Leo in Sleeping Beauty. You can also catch Dominic as Angelo in cinemas worldwide in the 2015 film recording of The Car Man. Later this year, Dominic will also be playing the role of Julian Craster, who leading lady Victoria Page falls in love with, in the World Premiere of Matthew’s production of The Red Shoes, inspired by the Powell and Pressburger film. A young Dominic being jazzy! When did you start taking dance classes? I started dancing when I was about 9 I think. My twin sister was already taking classes, then this new girl joined the school and started dancing in the same class as her. I fancied her and thought that dance was a good way in. The relationship ended when we went to different secondary schools, it was very sad – haha! Where did your formal training take place? I was at the Nydza School of Dance in Bingley, just outside of Bradford, from when I started dancing until I was 18. I then auditioned for full time dance courses at Laines Theatre Arts, Bird College, Central School of Ballet and Northern School of Contemporary Dance.

  • Li Thesis Word
    Li 1 Emma Li Prof. Ruti Talmor Senior Seminar in Media Studies 5 December 2020 The Good Place as Meta-Television: The Production Process and the Narrative “Oh, it looks like paradise, but it’s actually a filthy dumpster full of our worst anxieties. .. We’ve been torturing each other since the moment we arrived, and everything Michael has done has made at least one of us miserable.” “Oh dip! Eleanor, I told you that first night that we were in a prank show.” (Schur) Welcome to The Good Place Introduction The Good Place is worth critically examining as a piece of meta-television not only for its metareferences to the television medium and conventions, but also as a case study for demonstrating the functional potentials and limitations of meta-television. Through analyzing The Good Place, this paper seeks to broaden the definition of meta-television to one that is inclusive of its intertextual, self-reflexive, critical, and functional characteristics. Not all of these characteristics need to be present for a show to be considered meta-television. Since much of the past scholarly focus has been on the former two characteristics, this paper also aims to encourage further exploration of the critical and functional potential of meta-television, especially as it relates to the television medium. This paper seeks to first gain a solid understanding of existing discourse on meta- television, the sitcom genre, and the television medium.
