A Beasts' Eye View
A Beasts' Eye View
by Owen Liggett
Vince – "So it's really exciting. It's a Latex body suit that has three heads and three actors inside. It moves crazily… like… like… the snakes on medusa's head. The audience is going to be able to see the soul of the trapped prince trying to claw his way out of Beast's skin."
Me – "Right. Ok. (another, longer, pause) Wow. Erm… How are the actors going to be able to walk in this… suit?"
Vince – "No idea. They'll figure it out."
Me- "Do you think there's a possibility they might just fall over? I mean, six legs might get a bit confusing, no? I mean, I have seen professional actors complain about just having uncomfortable shoes."
Vince – "Well, we'll see I guess. I'm sure they'll manage."
And so they did… not only did they manage, but they actually brought to life one of the most bizarre, and physically demanding costumes I have ever come across. Clearly Vincent Warren, director Lawrence Boswell's Beauty and The Beast, had a lot of very well placed faith in his students.
It is no mean feat for a Youth Theatre Company to work as an ensemble, and undertake a script that was originally written for the professional actors of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). But to see them go further and take ownership of their performance, have the confidence to make their own personal artistic choices, and create vibrant, dynamic characters, was truly quite astonishing.
An important focus within this production was choral work, and an inspiration for this was the traditional Ancient Greek Choral style. This style works primarily with the idea that no one is independent and singular, and that the construction of an image is developed through group choral collaboration. This concept draws upon three aspects of performance; acting, movement, and voice. This assisted in the direction of many scenes in the performance, including 'Journey to the Countryside,' where the ensemble creates the illusion of a working, moving wagon, and even the imitation of a fall from the vehicle caused by a bump in the road, and 'The Rose Bush,' a scene depicting malicious shrub enchanted to ensnare all those who try to pluck a rose from it.
Another aspect of the performance was its use of music and voice. Vocally we challenged the company to think about how their voices could be combined as an ensemble, and in turn, how harmonies could be employed as means to add dramatic tension to a particular scene. The entire company worked very hard to bring out these moments in many points in the play, including the 'Locket' song and 'Over Land, Over Sea.' This enabled the company to challenge themselves and engage with the contextual and dramaturgical meaning of a scene through the use of music and voice.
Furthermore, with a story like Beauty and the Beast, that is so universally familiar, it is imperative that the story was told afresh and with renewed energy. The cast had to put their own stamp on a very old tale, and their characters had to be portrayed with as much clarity as the colourful illustrations that we can see when opening a storybook. Through the development of an elevated state of naturalistic expression in the rehearsal process we encouraged the company to be as expressive and as lively as possible. If you take a look at the picture below, you can see an example of how they were able to elevate facial and gestural expressions in order to compose a collaborative image of strange and quirky emotions.
The physical elements of the performance were co-designed by Rebecca Wong and Jonathan Daly. Due to the abstract nature of the piece, there were many scenes that called for the use of physical theatre as a medium of expression to convey the action within a scene. A particular moment of physical theatre was the Father's Horse scene, which depicted the long sojourn of Beauty's father, Jean Louis, across Europe. In this scene the chorus worked together to construct the horse, mountains, assailant wolves, and even a galley!
An important focus of the choreography was to retain the abstract qualities of the depicted images, as oppose to an attempt to realise them literally. For instance, rather than having the performers form an image of the shape of a horse, we looked at how an abstract depiction of a horse can be conveyed by embodying the movements of the animal, and incorporating this into a set physical score.
"Adam joined DSHK in September 2016, and it's amazing for us to see how much he has grown in both drama skills, and stage confidence over the last year and a half. Adam has participated in three performances so far, and each time he has enjoyed the experience of learning, growth, and facing challenges with the other DSHK members. All these learning opportunities and skills are invaluable, and so are the happy memories that these experiences have brought. Thanks to all members of DSHK!" Said one happy parent, and we look forward to hearing from many more.
Auditions to join DSHK Company will be held on the 6th of January.

University Of Cape Town Trust
The University of Cape Town Trust raises funds in the UK and Europe for the University of Cape Town, South Africa's premier university.
Funds raised in the UK support bursaries to help young talented students from profoundly disadvantaged backgrounds to live and learn at UCT. Without financial aid, so much of the talent now emerging from the townships and rural areas of South Africa will be wasted. These are the young people who will ultimately make valuable contributions to South Africa's future. Every penny raised can make an enormous difference to the lives of South Africans - not only the lives of the bursary students, but also the lives of their families.
Funds raised in the UK also help to build capacity to ensure that the quality of teaching and research continues to align with UCT's mission for excellence, and allows UCT to be a globally recognised University.
PLEASE NOTE that donations made via Virgin Money Giving are subject to a 3.5% transaction fee which will be deducted from the total you have donated. If you would like 100% of your gift to go to UCT Trust, please consider adding an extra 3.5% to the amount you would like the UCT Trust to receive.

Skift Take
While most Americans look like they're headed to the gym instead of an airport, flight attendants are required to look polished and have had to find trendy shoes that let you sprint to a closing gate too.
Who better to, er, pump for shoe advice? Flight attendants choose their shoes based on a number of factors, including their individual budgets, foot problems and the rules of their airline. For instance, Virgin Atlantic flight attendants are issued liquid-red heels (aptly named Dorothy; a lower heeled version is Dotty). But most flight attendants in the United States are allowed to buy what they like as long as they stay within certain guidelines …
This is handy, and not only for flight attendants. It's useful for fliers enrolled in the T.S.A. PreCheck program, which can enable frequent travelers who have been prescreened to pass through security without removing their shoes as long as they do not trigger the detectors.

It was F. Scott Fitzgerald — or was it Thomas Wolfe? — who established the four essential ingredients of the first novel of the smart young man from the American provinces: girl, town, youth and book. These are not independent elements. The longing for the girl is a longing to write. The elegy for the town is the elegy for youth, the girl and the book. A sentence about one is a sentence about all.
Benjamin Lytal makes these archetypes his own in his fearless, serious and impressive first novel, "A Map of Tulsa." The novel is not only about girl, town, youth and book; it is also — as most interesting works of art are — a comment on their mythology. We may still be a young country of unquenchable yearning, and men will always moon for the first girls of their dreams, but it's harder today to sum up the character of the nation through one's pining for Sally from Algebra II.
From the first page, Lytal brings the reader face to face with the archetypes. The girl is Adrienne, a gorgeous painter and singer, "wealthy, mostly unfriendly, agog with unearned talents." The town is Lytal's own, Tulsa. The youthful years extend over two periods: a summer when Jim Praley, the novel's narrator, returns home after his freshman year at a college back East, and a second visit five years later. While the book is not, explicitly, the one we are reading, Jim is a poet always reaching for the right words and novelistic conclusions: "I came back to Tulsa that summer for different reasons. To prove that it was empty. And in hopes that it was not."
In a famous, testy letter to Fitzgerald, Wolfe divided novelists between "putter-inners" like himself and "taker-outers" like Fitzgerald. Lytal is a taker-outer, and a masterly one. In the novel's first part, Jim pursues an affair with Adrienne, who lives in the penthouse of her family's oil company headquarters. Scenes are elided, inner lives are partially withheld, information is delayed. These techniques create a captivating unease and irresolution in the novel's second part, set a few years after Jim has stopped speaking to Adrienne. His bank account gasping from large payments to a New York landlord and his small payments from a New York magazine, Jim returns to Tulsa after he hears that Adrienne has been hurt in a motorcycle accident.
This is the plot, but it is Lytal's unveiling of Jim's character that drives the story. Jim relentlessly scratches at the meaning of Tulsa and Adrienne to discover his true self. That true self always seems to be present, but slightly invisible to us, lurking in our blind spot. Jim is a good kid, in control and at the margins of the party. But there is also a "wild, sad thing" in his nature, prone to impulse. He buys a gun. He kisses a boy.
Lytal holds our attention with unusual syntax and poetic concision; on Adrienne's "vertiginously shaved" pencil: the "wind was already nibbling it out of her fingers." The sex scenes, precisely and selectively detailed, have a physicality 50 shades more moving than gray. But the unnaturalness in the writing does have costs: his dialogue is often awkward ("Jim, the thing with the pistol was amazing"), as if the sculptor doesn't know how to handle the mason's tools. As for levity, abandon hope of laughter, ye who enter. Gradually, however, the somberness becomes appealing. As Jim says of Adrienne, "She was humorless, was why I liked her."
Lytal asks the essential questions: how to be good; how to be an adult; how to live outside one's head; how to love unselfishly; how to understand if this girl, this town — any of it, anything at all — are indispensable, and if they're meaningful enough to turn into art.
Of the town, Jim recalls, "I liked to pretend it was very strange to have been born in a place like Tulsa." He could also be thinking about Tulsa when he thinks of the girl: "When I met Adrienne I knew what I needed. And as soon as I had it from her I instantly turned back to my own life, and built up a young man who merely carried Adrienne in his heart, as an image." Adrienne remains an image to the reader, too. That is not just because, as I can confirm (not for lack of looking), there are not many sexually wild, half-French, oil company heiresses with soft spots for bookish men. It is because we see Adrienne only through Jim, who struggles to see her as a girl, and not as the object of his imagination.
Girl, town, youth and book are literary devices, as Jim — and Lytal — make clear. But the experience of love and place is not. In the tension between these truths, "A Map of Tulsa" finds its central insights and strengths. The girl may never have been ours to have. The town may be just a random place we're from. Youth may be no more than a dream of possibility. But the book: the book is real. And the book, after all, is what we came for.

A local small business that does not already have a website of some sort should probably consider getting one. There are a number of reasons why businesses, in order to be up to date and with the ongoing trends of commerce in the information age, need to have websites. Let's take a look at a few:
Web Traffic
One reason why a business needs a website is simply because it represents a whole new source of customers. The internet has become a commonplace part of the shopping experience of the majority of people. Thus, as soon as a company gets a recognizable web presence in the form of a website of their own, it has access to this entire customer pool. This can really create a large influx of customers and business. Considering how easy it is to create good looking and professional websites these days, it would be foolish not to take advantage of this.
Contact Point for Web Marketing
A website serves as the primary contact point for web marketing campaigns. A local business can advertise itself in a variety of ways on the Internet such as through article marketing, social media pages, blogs, forums, and in text and pop up advertising. These are all ways of reaching Internet users as they go about their online business. But all of the marketing, which ultimately takes the form of links a user clicks, has to be directed somewhere. That somewhere is the business' website.
Online Sales
Websites can be set up so that they allow users to actually make purchases of goods or service online. This can really boost the total sales of a business. If someone is able to make purchases on the website rather than merely read about the business, the likelihood of sales occurring from the web traffic to the site goes up. Increased ease of sales usually means more sales per site visitor. It's not hard to see how much of an advantage this could be for a business. Simply having a sales ready website and doing some routine maintenance of the site to make sure it is working right can result in many more sales. The time input is often quite minimal and the returns can be potentially very large.
Easy Access to Information
Whether or not the site is actually used for sales, it always serves to inform people about a company. Thus is fills an important informational/marketing role in the general sense. When people have easy access to company information and can find out about what a company offers, they will be much more likely to use that company. Put another way, people aren't likely to buy from a business they know little or nothing about, so they need to get access to that information somehow. Traditionally (pre-Internet) this has been by visiting or calling the business. With the Internet, basic information about what a business offers, easily available on their website, is even easier to access and this generally means increased business.
Makes Business Seem Up to Date and Established
One final advantage to having a website is that it makes a company seem up to date and professional. People expect businesses to have websites these days, so if a business has a good looking and user friendly website, people will tend to think of the business as being technologically savvy and well established.

Certainly one of my favorite pastimes is scouring the web for digital video games for my students. I was amazed to find upon visiting their web site again for this lens, that they've created a brand new flash video explaining exactly how their expertise works, as well as exhibiting many of the occasions which have used it. I mistakenly assumed that their product was designed for giant outdoor installations, however they've capitalized on the thought in a novel new approach and are actually creating much smaller indoor installations which can be used at smaller events. The expertise has now modified and lots of new varieties of computers have been added and the distinction between the several types of computers has blurred.
Reminiscence normally will last longer than other computer components so manufacturers provide longer warranties for it than other parts. But it can't be denied that new know-how has pushed societies in direction of greater health, wealth, security and nicely-being! In 1920 Throop was renamed the California Institute of Expertise as the varsity emerged as a pacesetter in the areas of Science and Know-how. The technology of mankind within the age of acoustic area, the expertise from which writing, print and telegraph developed, was speech.
Tech companies see the STEM fields, and computer science particularly, as a weak point in American schooling and have pressed for coding and other courses to be bolstered to maintain the United States aggressive with nations which can be pulling ahead in those areas. Having too little energy going to the pc will cause a few of the hardware to not operate accurately or perform in any respect. Operating Windows XP working programs or Linux working Systems on laptop which only have 1GB of RAM, and a 1GHZ CPU as an alternative of working Windows Vista or 7 could make your underpowered laptop feel super fast in some cases then operating Vista, on 7 on a computer which might barely run Vista or 7, so operating an older operating system on newer computer systems could make sense when your new pc is not highly effective, or have solely 1GB of RAM and a gradual 1 GHz CPU.
Thanks shivam, I will work on your request and offer you some more functions of laptop networks. Nonetheless if I was completely trustworthy, I think the catchment area of faculties who have low income households need expertise to be sure that they're getting the most effective of the schooling and the areas of high income could not need know-how as a lot for their school attainment. And quantum computing permits us to imagine a future where great breakthroughs in science might be made by computer systems which might be no longer tethered to simple binary 0s and 1s.
Then you definately can be take your laptop or laptop computer into the repair shop to get the ability provide, exhausting drive, or motherboard replaced. The University is comprised of 5 colleges, a graduate division, and two skilled faculties: the Bren College of Environmental Science and Management, and the Gevirtz Graduate College of Training. Nonetheless, some consider that the rise in expertise might widen the hole between social classes and even races. They ask science to provide what it can not, absolute certainty, and cite this failure in their cause.
