Why DMW

Hi Guys,

Amanda asked a really good question that audience members often have about plays and what makes a play. There are lots of different types of plays and theatre. Some theatre is meant to entertain (Phantom of the Opera), some is meant to instigate, some is meant to be political, some of is meant to initiate community discourse (Dead Man Walking). There is no one type of theatre. Not everyone likes all types, except maybe me. Some people want to escape and other want to be intellectually stimulated. People who like Phantom might hate political or avante garde theatre, and I know for a fact that people who like "artsy" theater usually hate Phantom. I think that is OK. Not everything is for everybody. Like different types of films, different types of theatre have different audiences. My feeling is that they are all valid and can all be good. The question, in my mind, is did they achieve their goal.

Peace

Entangled

Hopefully everyone got out of ohio for break unlike me. But for those that got stuck here for the weekend, I feel your pain. Class was fun on Thursday, been awhile since whiz/bang, but the result was the same, me going out still... maybe next time. haha, but I also thought it was so hard to be entangled in something. And then when I did do the extension cord, I still went too fast, and ended up getting ahead of myself. I still need to remember to keep it slow and simple.

this week

sorry i couldnt be in class on thursday...i was slowly getting sick all week and just decided to rest a little bit. i hope everybody had a good week of midterms! and i hope everybody has a good, fun, safe spring break! i will see u all when we get back!

I hope everyone has fun on there breaks, i know i will. But i am kinda curious to see what i got on the dead man walking paper when we get back...but until then everyone enjoy their breaks

So first things first. I really enjoyed Delon's interpretation of the Safety Dance in his blog. It was amazing!!! But on a serious note, I am glad we are gonna be up and moving around in class today. It's not that I don't enjoy sitting around talking but my lack of sleep right now needs desperately for me to be moving around. Can't wait to see everyone in class and now I should probably get going so I'm not late........again.

Tuesday's Class

it was interesting hearing all the different opinions about the play. I never would have noticed somethings that we discussed that had potential to make the play better or worse. It was refreshing though to hear both the honest positive and negative thoughts about it. I enjoyed our class discussion!

Mr University

Everyone come to mr university tonight. im in it and will be on stage singing. For those of you who do not know what mr university is it is basically a male beauty pagent. The alpha phis put it on to raise awareness abotu womens cardiac care. It should be a real good time to watch a bunch of guys make jack asses of themselves. hope to see you there
