from UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies
(2016/1/30 8:45)
|
Berkeley, CA . This March, the UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies (TDPS) presents the Bay Area premiere of Chavez Ravine , which brings to life a small Mexican-American community in 1950?s Los Angeles that became a target for political maneuvering and land acquisition?and the eventual home of Dodger Stadium. Written by Culture Clash, a zany Chicano performance trio, and directed by Sean San José, this fast-paced social satire incorporates music, vaudeville and multimedia to tell the true story of a courageous community fighting against displacement and urban power structures. Chavez Ravine plays March 4-13, 2016 , with performances on Fridays & Saturdays at 8:00 PM and Sundays at 2:00 PM in Zellerbach Playhouse on the UC Berkeley Campus. Tic kets are $13 to $20 and can be purchased online through the TDPS box office or at the door.
Chavez Ravine opens in 1981 at Dodger Stadium, where rookie Fernando Vale ...

Produktionsprozesse in Echtzeit anpassen
from Fraunhofer Presseinformationen
(2016/1/27 21:25)

Die Industrie 4.0 erfordert eine durchgehende Datenerfassung, um hochautomatisierte Prozessabfolgen in komplexen Produktionsumgebungen zu steuern. Ein Beispiel dafür ist die Kultivierung lebendiger Zellen. Doch biotechnologische Produktionsanlagen zu digitalisieren und zu vernetzen, ist eine große Herausforderung. Es fehlt an entsprechenden Standards, und die Biologie hat eine eigene Dynamik. Mit einer vollautomatischen Anlage zum Generieren von Stammzellen ist es Fraunhofer-Forschern gelungen, die Prozesssteuerung an das Wachstum der Zellen anzupassen. Damit haben sie ein adaptives System entwickelt, das sich für viele Branchen eignet.

Produktion ohne starre Pläne
from Fraunhofer Presseinformationen
(2016/1/26 0:19)
|
Industrie 4.0 ist in aller Munde. Doch wie sich eine hochgradig flexible Produktion zu den Kosten und mit dem Tempo einer Linienfertigung erreichen lässt, darüber gehen die Meinungen auseinander. Die Lösung der Fraunhofer-Forscher: Sie organisieren eine Produktion ohne starre Pläne und feste Verkettungen, die das menschliche Koordinations- und Entscheidungsvermögen zu einem zentralen Bestandteil der Ablaufsteuerung macht. Wie das geht, zeigen die Forscher auf der Hannover Messe 2016?die Preview am 27. Januar 2016 gewährt erste Einblicke.

MECH 223 Competition January 27th!DSC_4670
from UBC Mechanical Engineering
(2016/1/22 10:13)
|
Come see what our second-year students have been building at the MECH 223 competition on Wednesday, January 27th. This year’s project is concerned with regenerative braking: teams need to collect energy from their vehicle rolling down a ramp, and use that energy to perform various actions. The vehicles are all autonomous, and need to stop accurately, start moving again after a stop, slow down in sections, speed up in sections, carry cargo, and travel as far as possible (depending on the round).
The competition will take place in the Fred Kaiser building (2332 Main Mall), room 1180, from 11:00 am-2:00 pm . Stop by to cheer on your favorite team! All are welcome!
We’ll be posting photos of the competition after the event, so be sure to check back. Here’s one from last year’s competition, which involved racing water-powered cars!

Frances Pepper Tarson with her family.
2016 marks the 75th anniversary of the UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies. In honor of that anniversary we are reaching out to alumnus from each decade to share memories of their time in the drama department at UC Berkeley. Frances Pepper Tarson graduated from the University of California in 1948 with a major in Dramatic Arts.
Frances Tarson Pepper attended UC Berkeley from 1943-1948 and experienced firsthand the early years of the UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies, when it was then known as the Department of Dramatic Arts. Frances has a unique perspective of the time because, as she recalls, ?The people that set up the department were Professor Durham and Professor Lehman from the English Department and Professor Pepper, my father, who was a professor of Aesthetics and chairman of the Art Department at that time.? Frances continues, ?They hired Fred Harris and Henry Schnitz ...

Natalie Rutiezer is a junior transfer student majoring in Near Eastern Studies and minoring in Dance and Performance Studies. She has studied Middle East and Central Asian dance for years and is currently the director of Adara Dance Company and UC Berkeley?s Central Asian and Middle Eastern Dance Company, Sorayya.
When Natalie Rutiezer arrived in Tajikistan last summer, she had memorized the Cyrillic alphabet and spoke some Persian, but knew she would rely most on the universal language of dance. Having studied Middle Eastern and Central Asian dance in the Bay Area for years, she embraced the opportunity to travel to a country she had studied and read about, and learn regional dances and their history firsthand from Tajik performers and teachers.
Natalie first became interested in Middle Eastern and Central Asian dance when she jumped into a Persian Dance class six years ago on a whim. She had taken jazz, hip hop, modern, ballet and belly-dancing pr ...
