In 1913, the Ballet Russes’ premiere of Igor Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, which incorporated a radical choreographic approach by the youthful Vaslav Nijinksy, culminated in a literal riot. Based on a pagan sacrificial dance ritual, Stravinsky’s score—now in its centennial year—is reimagined by Australian Meryl Tankard, a dance maker lauded for her ability to combine the fierce and the sensual in choreographic pieces that range from the Sydney Olympics’ Opening Ceremony to body-hurtling expressions of raw emotion.
In The Oracle, Tankard’s vehicle of expression is dancer Paul White, with whom she shares choreographic credit. Designer Regis Lansac has composed abstract video accompaniment using manipulated images of movement that both mimic and complement White’s performance. As the conflicting forces of man and nature are met within this solo piece, White constructs movement in astonishingly athletic phrases and intimately simple gestures that subtly reference the pioneering work of Nijinksy, Martha Graham, and Tankard’s mentor, Pina Bausch, while retaining Meryl’s own signature appealingly intense inventions.

Developmental scientists have learned a great deal about the formation and function of stereotypes and prejudice among children. In the first half of my presentation, I will highlight findings from my own and others' research on the causes of children's stereotyping and prejudice, especially those biases related to race and gender. In the second half of my presentation, I will link what is known about the causes of stereotyping and prejudice to their prevention, making recommendations concerning adults' (teachers, parents) treatment of race and gender. In addition, I review several new studies of the consequences of intervention aimed at reducing stereotypes and prejudice on children's intergroup biases (e.g., racism, sexism).
This week, I have the opportunity to graft apple trees in the Plant Sciences Lab greenhouse. Grafting is the process of inserting tissue from one plant into another to combined desired genes. This event is by volunteer to help the Hort 100 class (I am not part of this class).

Aloha in Drag: The Politics of Kanaka Maoli Performance
Stephanie Nohelani Teves, Visiting Instructor, American Indian Studies Mar 27, 2013 12:00 pm Lucy Ellis Lounge, 1080 Foreign Languages Building Free and Open to the Public Sponsor: American Indian Studies
The "spirit of aloha" is mobilized to sell everything from travel packages to diversity to spiritual enlightenment to federal recognition. Amidst aloha's various invocations in these arenas and its power in the discourse of liberal multiculturalism and tourism advertisements, aloha has come to represent a ritualized performance of "Hawaiianness" that capitalism requires Kanaka Maoli to perform in order to be recognized as indigenous. And yet, aloha still functions as a grounding for Hawaiian indigeneity and remains a primary means of Kanaka Maoli survival, despite the ways popular notions of aloha function at our expense. This talk will address how Kanaka Maoli performers are rearticulating aloha and performing it in unpredictable ways—through hip-hop and drag performance—to recuperate aloha for community recognition and belonging. Further, this presentation will examine the performance strategies of Cocoa Chandelier, a performance artist working in Honolulu. I analyze the ways in which Cocoa Chandelier performs aloha in drag, a performance of Hawaiian indigeneity by means other than through direct references to "Hawaiianness," which in turn, works to unsettle attempts to appropriate the indigenous subject.
Lani Teves is Kanaka Maoli and originally from Ewa Beach, Hawai'i. She received her Ph.D. from the Program in American Culture at the University of Michigan with an emphasis in Native Pacific Cultural Studies.
Physics Colloquium, 'Giving Science Advice to the President ' and Why It's Getting Harder'
Who: Speaker Neal Lane, Rice University When: 4:00 pm, Mar 27, 2013 Where: 141 Loomis What: The position of science advisor to the U.S. President was created during the early years of the cold war, as was the government-university partnership and federal agency structure that support science and engineering research today. In those early difficult days, the rationale for large federal investments in research was clear ' keep ahead of the USSR. That rationale is long gone; and nothing has emerged to replace it in the public's eye. Meanwhile, the American people are uninformed ' or intentionally mislead - about scientific matters, distracted by a host of issues that have little to do with science, and increasingly polarized along political and ideological lines. The responsibilities of the President's science advisor include: 1) insure that the President has correct information on any matter of S&T policy of national importance; and 2) advise the President on federal research funding priorities. Today's speaker will share some experiences advising President Bill Clinton, comment on today's challenges, and suggest a possible new way forward.

Locomotion at the micro-scale: complex geometries and complex fluids

When an organism's swimming dynamics vary near a boundary a natural question arises: is the change in behavior fluid mechanical, biological, or perhaps mediated by other physical laws? We isolate the first possibility by exploring a far-field description of swimming organisms, providing a general framework for studying the fluid-mediated modifications to swimming trajectories. This framework may help to explain surprising behaviors observed in the swimming of many microorganisms and synthetic microswimmers. We will then discuss recent work on swimming in viscoelastic fluids, wherein the fluid itself exhibits an elastic response to deformation. In particular, we will show that the introduction of viscoelasticity can either enhance or retard swimming speeds depending on the body geometry and the properties of the fluid.

Program information from the Japan Society's event page: "In a small harbor town in Japan, one by one, residents begin to lose their understanding of once familiar concepts such as "family," "ownership" and "freedom." These strange incidents are eventually linked to one resident, Shinji, who has been wandering around talking to his neighbors ever since his body and mind were taken over by an alien performing preparatory research on human beings before invading earth! Tomohiro Maekawa, rising star playwright and director/founder of Ikiume Theater Company in Tokyo, is recognized for his illustrations of human emotion through bizarre sci-fi and horror stories. Aya Ogawa, New York-based writer, director, performer, translator and founder of knife inc., will translate Maekawa's story and lead a cast of Americans in this staged reading. Playwright Tomohiro Maekawa will join the artists in a post-performance Q&A."

This is part of the 2013 Middle East Film Festival.

Stereotypes and prejudice emerge early in the life course, often by age 3 or 4. Developmental scientists have learned a great deal about the formation and function of stereotypes and prejudice among children. In the first half of my presentation, I will highlight findings from my own and others' research on the causes of children's stereotyping and prejudice, especially those biases related to race and gender. In the second half of my presentation, I will link what is known about the causes of stereotyping and prejudice to their prevention, making recommendations concerning adults' (teachers, parents) treatment of race and gender. In addition, I review several new studies of the consequences of intervention aimed at reducing stereotypes and prejudice on children's intergroup biases (e.g., racism, sexism).

Aloha in Drag: The Politics of Kanaka Maoli Performance
ReplyDeleteStephanie Nohelani Teves, Visiting Instructor, American Indian Studies
Mar 27, 2013
12:00 pm
Lucy Ellis Lounge, 1080 Foreign Languages Building
Free and Open to the Public
Sponsor: American Indian Studies
The "spirit of aloha" is mobilized to sell everything from travel packages to diversity to spiritual enlightenment to federal recognition. Amidst aloha's various invocations in these arenas and its power in the discourse of liberal multiculturalism and tourism advertisements, aloha has come to represent a ritualized performance of "Hawaiianness" that capitalism requires Kanaka Maoli to perform in order to be recognized as indigenous. And yet, aloha still functions as a grounding for Hawaiian indigeneity and remains a primary means of Kanaka Maoli survival, despite the ways popular notions of aloha function at our expense. This talk will address how Kanaka Maoli performers are rearticulating aloha and performing it in unpredictable ways—through hip-hop and drag performance—to recuperate aloha for community recognition and belonging. Further, this presentation will examine the performance strategies of Cocoa Chandelier, a performance artist working in Honolulu. I analyze the ways in which Cocoa Chandelier performs aloha in drag, a performance of Hawaiian indigeneity by means other than through direct references to "Hawaiianness," which in turn, works to unsettle attempts to appropriate the indigenous subject.
Lani Teves is Kanaka Maoli and originally from Ewa Beach, Hawai'i. She received her Ph.D. from the Program in American Culture at the University of Michigan with an emphasis in Native Pacific Cultural Studies.

Physics Colloquium, 'Giving Science Advice to the President ' and Why It's Getting Harder'
ReplyDeleteWho: Speaker Neal Lane, Rice University
When: 4:00 pm, Mar 27, 2013
Where: 141 Loomis
What: The position of science advisor to the U.S. President was created during the early years of the cold war, as was the government-university partnership and federal agency structure that support science and engineering research today. In those early difficult days, the rationale for large federal investments in research was clear ' keep ahead of the USSR. That rationale is long gone; and nothing has emerged to replace it in the public's eye. Meanwhile, the American people are uninformed ' or intentionally mislead - about scientific matters, distracted by a host of issues that have little to do with science, and increasingly polarized along political and ideological lines. The responsibilities of the President's science advisor include: 1) insure that the President has correct information on any matter of S&T policy of national importance; and 2) advise the President on federal research funding priorities. Today's speaker will share some experiences advising President Bill Clinton, comment on today's challenges, and suggest a possible new way forward.

Abstract
The swimming kinematics and trajectories of many microorganisms are altered by the presence of nearby boundaries, be they solid or deformable, and often in perplexing fashion. When an organism's swimming dynamics vary near a boundary a natural question arises: is the change in behavior fluid mechanical, biological, or perhaps mediated by other physical laws? We isolate the first possibility by exploring a far-field description of swimming organisms, providing a general framework for studying the fluid-mediated modifications to swimming trajectories. This framework may help to explain surprising behaviors observed in the swimming of many microorganisms and synthetic microswimmers. We will then discuss recent work on swimming in viscoelastic fluids, wherein the fluid itself exhibits an elastic response to deformation. In particular, we will show that the introduction of viscoelasticity can either enhance or retard swimming speeds depending on the body geometry and the properties of the fluid.

DRK — Dance Rehearsal Room, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, Level 2
IJPAN presents a webcast of a staged reading of Strolling Invader, a new play written by Tomohiro Maekawa, directed/translated by Aya Ogawa and performed by knife, inc. This performance will be broadcast online live from the Japan Society in New York at 6:30 p.m. CST on Monday, April 1, 2013.
Program information from the Japan Society's event page: "In a small harbor town in Japan, one by one, residents begin to lose their understanding of once familiar concepts such as "family," "ownership" and "freedom." These strange incidents are eventually linked to one resident, Shinji, who has been wandering around talking to his neighbors ever since his body and mind were taken over by an alien performing preparatory research on human beings before invading earth! Tomohiro Maekawa, rising star playwright and director/founder of Ikiume Theater Company in Tokyo, is recognized for his illustrations of human emotion through bizarre sci-fi and horror stories. Aya Ogawa, New York-based writer, director, performer, translator and founder of knife inc., will translate Maekawa's story and lead a cast of Americans in this staged reading. Playwright Tomohiro Maekawa will join the artists in a post-performance Q&A."
