...and most importantly the United States government? Also, Welles left the country at a time when the dreaded “blacklist” was starting to funnel through Hollywood (“Orson” 17). Whether this was coincidence or intentional is debatable, but either way the ramifications may have helped account for the different direction he took with his post-Hollywood career. Did Orson’s fame draw too much attention and lead to his downfall? The Orson Welles we all know was an American writer, director, producer, and actor. He was known for his innovative productions, unique voice and personality, and was acclaimed as one of the most successful artist of the twentieth century (“Orson” 1). Welles expanded many medias, working in radio, television, film, and theatre (which is how Welles got his start). Welles made his stage debut in...

...What is drama therapy? The central idea of drama therapy is the deliberate use of drama or the therapy process to help achieve therapeutic goals. This approach allows the child to tell their stories freely, it helps those set goals and solve problems and not forgetting, express their feelings in a creative manner. Theorist such as Peter Slade and Brian Way has laid the ground work of drama therapy. They helped shift the idea that creative drama is only meant for the classroom and moved it into other settings. These imaginative people began their works way before therapy of any sort was known. They ideas and theories have come a long way in the 21st century. Dealing with children is a very delicate task. The manner in which they are handled can either repair them or scar them forever. Although children seem to have similar face valued common trait, each child are not the same and they have to be handled differently. Being children, they have not yet experienced life therefore all of these emotions and feelings that they are going through are new to them and in most cases it becomes overwhelming that they do not know how to handle it all. Years ago, children who have suffered from things like child abuse or even neglect had only one option available to them and that was a direction interaction with a counselor or psychologist. This direct approach where though to help ‘heal’ the child by talking and explaining to them what, why and how to feel differently. However, times have...

...Cosi “The Australian drama Cosi, and its themes, is a reflection of the characters’ immediate world, as well as the world at large. Explain this statement with reference to the text.” The Play Cosi, written by playwright Louis Nowra, is about members from a mental institution, who with the help of the protagonist Lewis are presenting an opera called ‘Cosi Fan Tutte.’ The opera tells the story of two officers, who pretend to leave for war to test the fidelity of their lovers. The themes of madness, attitude towards the mentally ill, transformations and growth and fidelity and love are portrayed through the conventions and techniques of symbolism, play within a play, setting and characters. Readers are positioned to respond to the immediate world and the world at large with complete madness, as it seems the world at large is a world apart from society. The play explores the theme of madness through the convention of setting. The idea of an inside world and outside world is shown through the symbolism and paranoia of society. The dark, derelict burnt out theatre is a metaphor for the world at large, and the drama that is enacted on its charred surface is a reflection of the larger dramas taking place outside. The outside world is noticed to have fear about the spread of communism, the mass casualties and the war crimes, for example the massacre of civilians, the torture of people and the rape. Readers respond to the absolute madness at times with confusion, as it’s hard...

...icedTHE SERVICE EXPERIENCE AS THEATER Stephen J. Grove, Clemson University Raymond P. Fisk, University of Central Florida INTRODUCTION Services marketing play a major role in the economies of the United States and the entire world, this has been indicated by the increased interest in the etiquette of how most people are taking it up, the past decade reflects a growing appreciation of the part they play in the frugalities. Lovelock 1991, states that services are said to be approximately amounting to seventy per-cent of the Gross National Product of the United States and the world, and supporting the same notion is Bateson 1989 who indicates that three quarters of those employed in some countries labour in service sector occupations Berry 1980, Sasser 1976, Zeithaml, and Parasuraman 1985 have given significant attention to how the marketing of services is distinguishing from the marketing of goods. The simultaneity of production and consumption of the service product is one key characteristic that differentiates services marketing, according to the above mentioned scholars and researchers. They noted that services exist only in the time in which they are rendered and they cannot be disassembled. Essentially, services are fashioned from the interaction between service providers and customers and, as such, service quality is comprised of both process and outcome dimensions. These various aspects of service delivery underscore the notion that services are complex, behavioural...

...Keely Jane Melton 12 March, 2015 SFUAD Questions Personal Statement My main interests in this discipline are simple: to become a better and greater actress. I’ve harbored the passion for acting ever since I was a young girl, so when the opportunity arose for me to further my abilities and better myself became apparent, I was over the moon. I want to become as well-rounded of an actress as I can be; in musicals, in straight plays, and in film. While I admired acting as a young child, it wasn’t until middle school when I got involved. With a stroke of bravery, I decided to audition for the middle school one act play. To my surprise, I made it, and I was bitten by the acting bug. Ever since then, with my first show being The Imaginary Invalid by Moliére and my latest show being Don Nigro’s Maelstrom between a five year period, I’ve devoted my entire high school career, and summers, to the shows in my little town. As for one acts, I’ve done A Midsummer Nights Dream, Alice In Wonderland, The Imaginary Invalid, and Maelstrom. Outside of one act I’ve done CATS, Southern Hospitality, and Shrek. Outside of high school, I’ve done musicals with our local Shining Star Productions studio, headed by Amanda Brandenburg. These include Peter Pan, Steel Magnolias, Aladdin, White Christmas and The Wizard of Oz. For college, I’m hoping to take the skills taught to me by my directors and expound upon them— like I said previously, to become a better, well rounded actress. This profession is...

...Stereotypically, “Many of us … will ooh and ahh over a dog playing in the theatre, but wouldn’t dream of going to see an animal performing in a circus…” (Gardner, L. 2014). So, should animals be used in the Theatre and the Entertainment Industry? This essay discusses the history of animals performing within a theatre or circus, the representation of animals within a performance, whether it is humane or inhumane for animals to be apart of the entertainment industry and should animals continue performing in theatres and the entertainment industry. Animals that perform within the theatre and entertainment industry can be traced back to Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. However, travelling performances, such as circuses, gained popularity in the...

...CBU Personal Statement When I was around 12 years old, I found my strength and will in Jesus Christ. After being bullied, for being weird and overweight, for a majority of my grade school life (ages 7-15), in 7th grade, I overheard a conversation taking place between a girl I had once known, And a kid that was also going through tough situations. He was also being bullied as I was. She was telling him how Jesus Christ our lord and savior loves him very much and how he has a place for him in the kingdom of heaven. The more she talked about the endless love God gives us, and how she gives him love in return, the more I started to be intrigued by the topic. A while later I had asked her to tell me about her religion. She told me she was Christian....

...Personal Statements Being raised by a single parent of Afro-Caribbean background, one should expect strict parenting, striving for nothing less than academic success. Without this authoritarian parenting I realize I would not be in such good shape as a student. My mother, Pauline Muirhead, departed our house early mornings and came in late nights from an awning company, just to make ends meet for my sister and me. My mother made it her business to push me to want success not only for her reassurance but my own. The road to true self identification and bliss started when my mother enrolled me into Parkway Middle School of the Arts, I wanted to be a singer; yet my mother registered me for the theatre program, at the time I wasn’t looking at the overall picture, but I’m very grateful now that she made that decision for me, because now I am 100% certain I want to become a fulltime actress. Everything my mother has done for me has shaped my path to being the great actress I was predestined to be. The next step on my path to stardom is being enrolled at FAMU, I know that your prestigious Theatre and Directing programs are what I need to make it in the real world, I want to perform professionally, and I can do that at this university. With FAMU’s great credibility I believe I would get special opportunities to exhibit my raw talents. Being enrolled at any Florida University would be my foot in the door to all great opportunities, and as a student I would do my part in remaining academically...

...Hamdan v Rumsfeld 548 U.S. 557 (2006) Facts: Petitioner, Salim Ahmed Hamdan, following the United States invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, was captured by militia forces and turned over to the United States. Hamdan was recognized as the bodyguard and personal driver for Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden. Following his capture, Hamdan was sent to Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba in 2002. On November 13, 2001, President George Bush issued a military order intended to govern the overall treatment of Non-Citizens related to the War on Terrorism. In July 2003, the Bush administration deemed Hamdan, alongside 5 other detainees, eligible to be tried in front of a military commission affiliated with this military order. Hamdan and his counsel, Neal Katyal, requested charges and a speedy trial as required by Article 10 of the UCMJ. The Appointing Authority responded by stating that Hamdan was not entitled to any protection by the UCMJ therefore denying these requests. Hamdan, being charged with conspiracy in the United States District Court in the Western District of Washington, argued against the procedural safeguards he was guaranteed under UCMJ and the Geneva Conventions. Hamdan filed for a writ of habeas corpus and was granted so by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. As proceedings before military commission commenced, the Combatant Status Review Tribunal, held Hamdan for the time being as an “enemy combatant”, after review in compliance with...

...Paper The subject I interviewed as the leader of my profile paper is my aunt, Dawn Brown*. Mrs. Brown has displayed leadership qualities all of her life. From getting her degree in a very small field, to having a child with Asperger’s, and now to her current job. Currently, she is the Associate Professor of Theatre Design and Technology at a local college in Massachusetts. She has been teaching at the college for ten years. Along with being a Professor, she is a costume designer, production manager, and also the costume shop manager for the Theatre program on-campus. I felt that Mrs. Brown was a great example of a leader because she does the work load of four people, while teaching class, while also running and producing two shows a semester. She needs to have good relationships with the actors/actresses and also the production crew. I believe that she would make a superb case study for this project. Chapter 1 – The Nature and Importance of Leadership Mrs. Brown stated that leadership is a key element in theatre production. It provides stability and organization in order to make sure each of the areas is functioning in an efficient and productive way. In theatre production, it is essential that everyone involved understands their role and the leader is able to motivate and direct the people into achieving the goals set. She feels it is significant that you “manage” your piece of the puzzle in the organization role because you will not always be at an entry-level position...

...Personal Purpose Statement and Growth Mindset The first class of Managing Work and Teams was the first time I was ever introduced to the idea of the entity theory vs. the incremental theory. Reading Yeager’s article gave me the opportunity to question my own mindset. I saw myself fitting into both a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, but I immediately knew I wanted to adapt a stronger growth mindset because I wanted to learn from my setbacks and improve for the future (Yeager, 303). Enrolling in the Commerce program was embarking on a challenging adventure for me. I knew I would be placed in uncomfortable situations and have to step outside my comfort to learn from mistakes and try new approaches to problems. I will balance my work in this demanding program by preserving the passions I came to this school with. My undying love for songwriting, musical performances, and theatre have been retained as I play guitar and sing at least an hour a day and I’ve reached out to various drama clubs for opportunities. All academic and...

...vacation spot for our family is very important. With individuals ranging from age 24- to 65 we want everyone to be able to enjoy themselves. Everyone has already agreed the beginning part of May would be the perfect time to take a family vacation. However the family lay divided on where they should spend their time vacationing. Our family has a limited time to take a vacation so it’s important for us to pick a great spot because no one wants to waste time on a vacation that is less than stellar. As a family we would like to enjoy the sun and the sites while keeping in mind each other’s personal preferences for fun. There are so many beautiful places to have fun but some have become increasingly more expensive to vacation at. As a family we have saved enough money to go on a vacation that does not total over 7,000. The family has saved for approximately two years for this vacation. Problem Statement Out immediate family includes my mom and Dad and two sisters and one brother. We all have different views on our idea of fun. My Parents don’t mind staying close by and having fun in a nearby state. However the siblings and I would rather spend time in some place further away so that we can enjoy summer weather and beaches. A variety of places have been thrown up in the air, but no decision has been made. It has been two years since any of us have been on a vacation. The last vacation I took was to Chicago for a long weekend. I believe the hardest part of deciding about our vacation...
