Thursday, March 6 , from 12:00-1:30 in Dwinelle 370, Maïtreyi Pesquès will conduct a workshop, in English, on movement, dance, and translation.
Maïtreyi Pesquès is a dancer, translator and movement teacher currently in residence at Pomona College. Co-translator of a number of works of contemporary poetry, she has performed in India and France, both in the context of classical Indian Dance (Baratanatyam) and baroque and contemporary dance. For a number of years she collaborated with Ariane Mnouchkine, of the Théâtre du Soleil, in Paris, teaching movement to actors.
Maïtreyi Pesquès writes of the workshop as follows: “The workshop will begin from engagements with translation of poetry between French and English, focusing on the work of such writers as Cole Swensen, Lorine Niedecker, Abigail Lang, Claudia Rankine and Lyn Hejinian. It will involve few exercises,or “experiments,” that I hope will bring the persons attending to the feeling that they are p ...

FELLOWSHIPS AT AMERICAN CONSERVATORY THEATER
American Conservatory Theater fellowships provide advanced, hands on training in theater production and administration. It is through this exposure to professionals at work?and to their audiences?that our fellows learn what drama means to the life of a community, and how the life of a community enriches its theater. A.C.T. fellowships provide a springboard to a professional life in the theater: our fellows have gone on to attend renowned graduate programs, to work in major regional theaters, and to freelance as directors, designers, and stage managers.
Fellows are a vital part of the thriving circle of artists that make A.C.T. one of the nation’s most respected arts institutions. Each fellow’s experience is nurtured and developed with the guidance of a staff mentor, and fellows are encouraged to draw from the diverse resources and collective knowledge of A.C.T.’s resident artists, designers, and administrators.

With a History as ?The Voice of Cal,? Theater, Dance and Performance Studies Helps Students Master Oral Communication
Have you ever been in the midst of an important conversation or presentation, and suddenly fumbled or froze?
The Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies is helping all students become more poised, confident communicators by offering two courses in Public Speaking during the 2014 Summer Semester. In these courses, students will immerse themselves in the art of oral communication, under the instruction of experienced public speaking instructors Lisa Anne Porter and Sam Haley-Hill.
This new course in public speaking is lauded by Dean of Arts and Humanities Anthony J. Cascardi: ?There is perhaps no more important ability, in any walk of life, than to be able to make clear and persuasive arguments,? he says. ?In my view, TDPS has a very important contribution to make to this effort as the Department draws students to practice of oral commu ...

Künftig sollen sich Produktionsanlagen untereinander abstimmen und Maschinen häufiger aus der Ferne gewartet werden. Doch kein Firmenchef möchte riskieren, Industriespionage und Sabotage durch unsichere Netze Tür und Tor zuöffnen. Eine neue Entwicklung bietet besonders hohe Sicherheit. Auf der Messe embedded world vom 25. bis 27. Februar in Nürnberg stellen Forscher das System vor (Halle 5, Stand 5-250).

TDPS presents Philip Kan Gotanda?s After the War Blues from March 7-16
from UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies
(2014/2/8 3:33)

The Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies continues its 2014 Main Stage season with Philip Kan Gotanda?s After the War Blues , running March 7-16 in Zellerbach Playhouse.
War does many things to us ? it can make us question our government, question what it means to be an American, and question where we belong. After the War Blues takes place in the aftermath of World War II, when several communities intersected in San Francisco?s Western Addition District: Japanese-Americans returning from internment camps, African-Americans who had come to San Francisco looking for work, White southern migrants looking for economic opportunity and Russian Jews arriving in this country in the wake of the war. During a time when resources were limited, the characters struggle to get along and find their place in this new cultural mix. Says Gotanda, ?The play asks – how do you begin to bridge all these different communities, and ultimately, can you??
After the W ...

Naomi Bragin
TDPS is pleased to announce that Performance Studies doctoral candidate Naomi Bragin is co-winner of TDR: The Drama Review’s 2013 Student Essay Contest for “Shot and Captured: Turf Dance, YAK Films, and the Oakland, California, R.I.P. Project.” The essay will be published in the journal?s Summer 2014 issue.
Turfing is an improvisation-based hood dance style created in West Oakland, in the early 90?s. ? There are particular ways of moving in turf style, even when it incorporates moves from other hip-hop dance styles,? says Bragin. ?The movements tend to be abstract but they express pain and joy in ways that reflect a larger understanding of blackness and at the same time speak particularly to black life in neighborhoods of Oakland and the Bay Area.?
?The article focuses on YouTube broadcast turf dance memorials created by and for black Oakland youth whose deaths go unreported in mainstream news media,? says Bragin. ?I use th ...
