Q&A Spotlight: Back to School – Teaching Technical Theatre
www.yourperformancepartners.com: During this back-to-school season, we wanted to learn more about theatre education and its connection to the real world. We visited with Tom Barrett, who is starting his 26th year at Macalester College. Barrett teaches technical theatre and oversees six annual campus productions – four theatre and two dance – including lighting, sound and construction. He also squeezes in outside design and tech direction work occasionally.

Theater Artists Must Be Prophets (& an Announcement)
The Clyde Fitch Report: As those of who follow this column probably have figured out, I am a college professor. Two years ago, I began publishing a multi-part series on Todd London’s inspiring book An Ideal Theater: Founding Visions for a New American Art. In it, I published my thoughts on the seven sections of the book: “What Is America / What Is an American Theater?,” “About Us. By Us. For Us. Near Us.,” Amateurs or Professionals?,” “The Genius of the Individual, the Genius of the Group,” ” Theaters or Institutions?,” “Toward a Political Theater,” and “The Artist’s Journey: School, Studio, and Stage.” This semester, I am teaching a course on London’s book, and I have asked each of my eleven students, most juniors and seniors, to provide a short essay concerning one of the book’s theater pioneers who appeal to them. This is not to be a book report, but rather their opinion concerning the relevance of the ideas contained in their chosen essay to today’s theater world.

Nothing Sacred: Satire Comes to Salt Lake City
On Being: Even as a faithful Mormon I have to admit that the South Park portrayals of Latter-Day Saints over the years haven’t been all bad. In an odd way, I was honored that the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith was numbered among the “Super Best Friends” in a couple of episodes, representing — for good and ill — all the world’s religions. But when Trey Parker and Matt Stone announced the production of a Broadway musical mocking Mormons exclusively, I rolled my eyes.
The Swing Saw
Tools of the Trade: Keith Rucker, of VintageMachinery.org shot the video below at the Georgia Museum of Agriculture in Tifton, Georgia. It’s of a swing saw (also called a pendulum saw) designed for use in a mill. Instead of pivoting like a chop saw or sliding like a slide miter or radial arm saw, it pivots in line with an overhead line shaft—a configuration that allows the blade to be powered by a leather drive belt.

We’re All Artists Now
Where once drawing and other painterly pursuits were the province of starving artists or simply child’s play, unlocking one’s creativity has become the latest mantra of personal growth and career success. We nurture our inner Helmut Newtons on Instagram. We explore storytelling with our iPhones like the director Sean Baker did with his movie “Tangerine.” Buy some crayons, we are told, and be more productive at work. Like mindfulness and meditation before it, creativity has become a mainstream commodity.
A Strange Miter Saw Table Saw
Tools of the Trade: Combination saws contain a single motor and blade and can be used as both a table saw and miter saw. I’m most familiar with the flip-style saws, having once worked with a carpenter who owned one. The table flipped; when the motor was up it was a miter saw and when the motor was down a table saw.
Insights and Implications to Guide Your Fall Arrest Decisions

NFTRW Weekly Top Five
Here are the top five comment generating posts from the past week:
Cell-phone incidents point to difficulty of policing etiquette in live theater
SanDiegoUnionTribune.com: From the stage before me came the songs of the Flaming Lips, performed by the cast of the 2012 musical “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.”
From the row behind me at La Jolla Playhouse came the sound of some flaming dip, singing along loudly (and not terribly tunefully) to those songs.
OK, maybe that’s a little harsh. The man was obviously a proud fan of the band, and was just getting lost in the experience of this world-premiere show built around the Lips’ music.
When The Show Hits The Fan
Pro Sound Web: In the midst of a fairly frantic load-in for a show in San Antonio, we made a horrible discovery. The lighting rig, the sound system, the entire show was dead.
Because the trunk full of feeder cable was missing.
We were (literally) about a thousand miles from the shop. Not a good situation, especially when the clock was ticking and there was less than six hours to showtime.David Bowie, Aerosmith, Flaming Lips Pen Songs for 'SpongeBob Musical'
Rolling Stone: A surprising collection of musicians will write songs for an upcoming theatrical production of SpongeBob SquarePants, dubbed The SpongeBob Musical. David Bowie, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, Cyndi Lauper, Flaming Lips, John Legend and T.I. will all contribute original songs to the show. Bowie's tune will feature additional lyrics by Jonathan Coulton, who is also contributing his own song.
New Research Confirms Lack of Sleep Connected To Getting Sick
www.cmu.edu: Scientists have long associated sufficient sleep with good health. Now they’ve confirmed it.
In 2009, Carnegie Mellon University’s Sheldon Cohen found for the first time that insufficient sleep is associated with a greater likelihood of catching a cold. To do this, Cohen, who has spent years exploring psychological factors contributing to illness, assessed participants self-reported sleep duration and efficiency levels and then exposed them to a common cold virus.Keep Calm and Manage On: Why it is so Important to be Even-Tempered as a Stage Manager
OnStage: It’s no secret in the theatre world that stage managing is difficult. Between creating schedules, tracking each and every change and development in rehearsal, making sure the show runs smoothly each night, and of course, managing actors and tech staff, it gets hectic. You are ultimately charged with creating order out of varying amounts of chaos. And one thing that must be kept in order is your own attitude.

300 Year Anniversary Of Karlsruhe, Germany
Architainment content from Live Design: Karlsruhe Palace was erected in southwest Germany in 1715 by Charles III William, Margave of Baden-Durlach. The city of Karlsruhe developed around it, and today it has grown to be the second-largest city in the state of Baden-Württemberg. Now it celebrates it 300th anniversary with multiple projection and video mapping displays on the facade of Karlsruhe Palace.

Live Sound: Audio Visualization
Pro Sound Web: It is said that “a picture is worth a thousand words” and nowhere is this more applicable than when trying to teach complex concepts.
A graphical depiction can often convey an idea better, and quicker, than a whole bunch of words. This is because our brains are mainly image processors, not word processors; the part of our brain that processes words is actually very small in comparison to the part that processes visual information.

How I Ended Up Buying a SawStop Table Saw
www.protoolreviews.com: I have had a fairly long relationship with table saws, and to be honest, they all scare the heck out of me a little. Second to the chainsaw, no other tool seems so aggressive in its attempts to hurt you. The spinning blade is aimed directly at you, and it has the ability to pull things into its maw. Put your digits too close to the spinning blade, and the potential mayhem that could ensue makes the need for a solution like the one provided by the SawStop Jobsite table saw a very compelling one. In fact this is exactly how I ended up buying a SawStop table saw.
Why Badges?
sightlines.usitt.org: For those sold on the idea of using badges to track student learning, the next logical step is implementation.
The most basic approach is to begin the system in the classroom. Demonstrating the success of a badge system in a single course will provide data that may open doors to a program wide rollout. In the School of Theatre at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, badges have been introduced and the use is still expanding.

The Basics of Gain Staging
OK. It’s actually cooler than that. I am enjoying our miniature jam sessions and teaching him riffs. It’s becoming less entertaining, though, as he is rapidly making me look like the beginner.
In a recent conversation, I caught myself trying to explain gain staging to him when he was working on his tone.

‘Mamma Mia!’ Closing; Broadway’s Female-Driven Musical Blockbuster Ends
It’s still pretty rare. This year’s Tony Awards champ, “Fun Home,” marked the very first time the trophy for best score had gone to an all-female songwriting duo (Jeanine Tesori and Lisa Kron). Two of the show’s three lead commercial producers are women (Kristin Caskey and Barbara Whitman), which is also still uncommon on Broadway, where male producers far outnumber women in the game.

Even Cooler 3D Printers On The Way
Techdirt: Most homes don't have a 3D printer... yet. But just as most homes didn't have a "computer" or an internet connection just a few years ago, technology can change quickly, and 3D printers could become ubiquitous relatively quickly. With 3D printers in your kitchen or living room, you could print up a Left Shark whenever you felt like it, but hopefully, no one will be doing that too often. If you already have a MakerBot or some other 3D printer, check out a few other developments that could be nice to have.

Emmys 2015: Christina Hendricks on ‘Mad Men’ and Audition Nerves
Backstage: Christina Hendricks knows a thing or two about developing compelling characters. The “Mad Men” star, who has been Emmy-nominated for best supporting actress in a drama a whopping six times, talked about auditioning for what would eventually become one of the show’s most iconic roles. “She was on the page,” Hendricks said of Joan, the queen bee of the office. “I just tried to take all the clues that I saw in the script.
Vitasnella | Full body projection mapping
Projection Mapping Central: Bottled water company, Vitasnella, and production company, UNIT9 , have taken their branding approach to the next level. Using a live, 3D mapping experiment of the “Perfect Woman” they underline our judgmental reality and then wash it away. Using projected real-time, 3D graphics onto a real woman, the group tracked head and body movements. “It is a step further than what has ever been attempted so far in that we aim to add/subtract volume to the subject, as well as projecting simultaneously on body and face.”
Why I Should Have Paid More Attention in Music Theory Class
Playing louder or softer because it felt right. Taking more or less time because it seemed to make sense.
That served me pretty well for a while, until one day I had to learn an unfamiliar piece of music for which there existed no recording, and I struggled.
For once, it seemed that simply feeling the music and going with whatever naturally came out wouldn’t get me to where I wanted to go.
I wondered…had I reached the limits of my musical intuition?

Undervalued Assets: Staying Up To Speed On Mic Accessories & Cable

And cables are a true lifeline of every system. It’s amazing how many times I’ve seen a fantastic mic connected to a great PA via a lousy cable that ruins the whole thing.

New Broadway Production Contract Reached in Tentative Agreement
Variety: Actors’ Equity Association, the union that represents stage actors and stage managers, has reached a tentative agreement on a new labor contract with the Broadway League, the trade association of theater producers and presenters.
That’s news that comes ahead of schedule: The current contract isn’t due to expire for another month. The quickie resolution suggests a relatively quiet, controversy-free negotiation process, as opposed to the down-to-wire back-and-forth that sometimes occurs.
