It is, therefore, Peter, Go Ring Dem Bells appropriate that this year’s WITNESS I Open My Mouth theme be devoted to the spiritual and its Go Where I Send Thee legacy and uplifting quality that touches us all. When African people were forced The St. Olaf Choir to come to America as slaves in the Anton Armstrong and André Thomas, conducting 1600s, their former lifestyles faced upheaval. It was their musical Andrew Bourgoin, piano traditions, though greatly altered, that provided a semblance of Devin Orchard, Maggie Burke, Katie Burke, consistency in the midst of their new conditions. The result was: Karen Hopper, percussion the spiritual. Here’s a Pretty Little Baby Hold Fast to Dreams In West Africa music was a significant part of everyday life and Rockin’ Jerusalem The Kingdom the rhythm of work and community celebration created a shared My Good Lord’s Done Been Here music-making. In America spirituals came to express religious themes — both sorrow and joy, but always with a feeling of hope. By the time of Abraham Lincoln thousands of spirituals Intermission existed, passed down by oral tradition and therefore quick to adapt to the changing needs and dynamics of their creators. Combined High School Choruses Spirituals have experienced several notable surges of popularity André Thomas, conducting since the end of slavery in America. During the Harlem Keep Your Lamps! Renaissance, spirituals thrived in the concert hall with such Barbara Allen renowned musicians as Paul Robeson, Roland Hayes and Swing Down, Chariot Marian Anderson. They also inspired writers such as Langston Walk in My Shoes I Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray Hughes, Claude McKay and Zora Neale Hurston. During the Great Depression spirituals reached a larger audience by means of the radio, and then the Civil Rights Movement Combined Choruses of the 1950s and 1960s added a new momentum to these André Thomas, conducting songs with spirituals and gospel songs being given new lyrics Beautiful City reflecting the ideals of the time. For example, the anthem “We I Dream a World Shall Overcome” came out of a gospel hymn, “I’ll Overcome I Hear America Singing Someday,” as well as the spiritual “No More Auction Block for Me,” which predates the Civil War. Whenever American choirs perform internationally there is always a request for spirituals, perhaps more than for any other kind of music. Spirituals possess the power to unite people across boundaries, expressing some of the most poignant of human emotions. It is in this spirit that we welcome Dr. André J. Thomas as our guest conductor, a man whose life’s work revolves around this music. And it is a joy to welcome all our visiting choirs as we share together in celebrating the beauty and power of the spiritual today. 2010 | 2011 Season page 3 Program Texts I Open My Mouth arr.

I am delighted to present the stories of the women who join the Victorian Honour Roll of Women in 2005. It is fitting that we pay tribute to their many achievements. Their stories reveal the way in which each of these women has used their unique skills, experiences and insights to enrich their world. Whether they have worked behind the scenes in support of local communities or on the international stage, each of these women have created better opportunities for women in Victoria, in Australia and beyond. They have provided leadership, they have touched the lives of those around them, they have helped improve the lives of women and their families and they have helped produce long term change for the better. But these stories will do more than describe achievements. They will remind you, as they remind me, of the strength that resides within women to achieve extraordinary things.

  • Creator's Letter Princess Francois, CC'11
    Introduction 1 Introduction Creator’s Letter Princess Francois, CC’11 Dear Charles Drew Members, Pulse was created specifically for you! The idea for creating this came after reading a similar book I received from my participation in the University of Pittsburgh’s Summer Academic Enrichment Program (SPAEP) in Summer 2009. I found the book incredibly resourceful and it served as a pre-med bible to me. My only criticism was that it was not entirely written by students. I later discovered a mini premed booklet written by students of the Harvard Pre-Med Society. An overachieving Columbian, I decided I would create one written by Columbia premeds, for Columbia premeds, combining the best aspects—depth and student perspective—of Pitt’s book and Harvard’s. In this endeavor, I have aspired to build upon Charles Drew’s diverse activities while complementing the usual guidance of Columbia’s Office of Pre-Professional Advising. The purpose of this book is to offer honest advice about how to survive (and conquer!) the intense pre-med curriculum at Columbia. The content of this book is broad but detailed in its presentation. In these pages, you will find topics such as how to pick a major, studying abroad, extracurriculars, summer research opportunities, the “gap year”, and much more. Here, students share personal stories, talking openly about mistakes they feel they made and what they might have done differently. Our motivations in sharing these stories are to pass on knowledge we hope might help you achieve the same success we want for ourselves – to become physicians with a purpose, to become physicians that pay it forward, with the first step of getting into medical school.

  • Remembering Edouard Borovansky and His Company 1939–1959
    REMEMBERING EDOUARD BOROVANSKY AND HIS COMPANY 1939–1959 Marie Ada Couper Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2018 School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne 1 ABSTRACT This project sets out to establish that Edouard Borovansky, an ex-Ballets Russes danseur/ teacher/choreographer/producer, was ‘the father of Australian ballet’. With the backing of J. C. Williamson’s Theatres Limited, he created and maintained a professional ballet company which performed in commercial theatre for almost twenty years. This was a business arrangement, and he received no revenue from either government or private sources. The longevity of the Borovansky Australian Ballet company, under the direction of one person, was a remarkable achievement that has never been officially recognised. The principal intention of this undertaking is to define Borovansky’s proper place in the theatrical history of Australia. Although technically not the first Australian professional ballet company, the Borovansky Australian Ballet outlasted all its rivals until its transformation into the Australian Ballet in the early 1960s, with Borovansky remaining the sole person in charge until his death in 1959. In Australian theatre the 1930s was dominated by variety shows and musical comedies, which had replaced the pantomimes of the 19th century although the annual Christmas pantomime remained on the calendar for many years. Cinemas (referred to as ‘picture theatres’) had all but replaced live theatre as mass entertainment. The extremely rare event of a ballet performance was considered an exotic art reserved for the upper classes. ‘Culture’ was a word dismissed by many Australians as undefinable and generally unattainable because of our colonial heritage, which had long been the focus of English attitudes.

Using activities makes developing this behaviour more fun for both children and educators. In this handbook you will find a compilation of ready-to-use activities (activities), flexible enough to suit your own needs. The ideas behind the activities are: Developing social competences is a direct approach to the prevention of violence. Emotionally stronger children are less vulnerable to violence. The earlier children start developing social competences the better, as these may take long time to be acquired. The activities have been developed with pre-school educators and primary school teachers in mind to support their daily work with children. All activities have been tested over two periods and adapted following the comments and suggestions of practitioners working both in pre-schools and primary schools in six different countries.
