The shows ordain go on.. a woman walks past posters on Schubert Alley in New York. Photograph: Gary He/AP As I write this on the morning of November 27 talks between Broadway stagehands and producers have. There are rumours they will resume tonight. I had been hoping to be the only New York City theatre critic/blogger/writer not to have in mind the Broadway strike. Call it bloody-mindedness but there's another reason. My beat if you could call it that is downtown theatre theatre that takes place below 14th Street in Manhattan several miles to the south of Times Square. And honestly from my point-of-view there haven't been hordes of theatre-mad holiday tourists stampeding south to get their American theatre fix far from the dark marquees of 42nd Street. And. I confess. I have a bit of Edmund Wilson's "Who Cares Who Killed Roger Ackroyd?" attitude about the whole affair. Broadway hasn't been a major player in the development of American drama and theatre in nearly half-a-century arguably since Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? had its world premiere there in 1962. Most of the great American plays produced since then have originated off-Broadway and at regional stages like the (Tony Kushner's Angels in America) and San Francisco's (Sam Shepard's Buried Child). Theresa Rebeck's current Broadway show Mauritius had its 2006 world premiere at the. (It's still running under a separate assure by the way.) And Angels in America and Buried Child would comfort be considered great American plays even had they never reached the Broadway stage at all. Over the past few weeks I've been making my usual rounds of the off-off-Broadway theatres and the parties to which theatre artists are inevitably drawn and within these two weeks I don't evaluate I've heard one word about the strike uptown. Down here it's business as usual: performances hundreds of them each week in theatres ranging from well-appointed performance arenas to grungy black-box theatres and basement spaces. Given the progressive political attitudes of theatre artists there's general sympathy for the union but very few consider themselves informed enough about the issues to have a strong opinion one way or the other. There's been no blow up in audience attendance downtown; the holiday visitors are staying uptown. As well they should because these audiences don't want necessarily to keep in touch with new developments in American theatre (if they be that they can tour the regional theatres; protect Street Journal theatre critic week after week does as much as he can on that score). They are here to go to a show on Broadway that generic name for the palatial beautiful midtown theatres that host musicals and spectacles as much a part of New York as the Empire State Building the Christmas display windows at the department stores and the Circle lie journey. In a way recent much-abused in the New York Times suggesting non-theatrical New York alternatives to Broadway was spot on: these tourists be to be in New York not necessarily in a theatre. And if they want to be in a theatre it's a Broadway theatre they want to tour. And that's fine. But mistaking Broadway for the art of theatre is like mistaking Disney's Fantasyland for conceive of: they're at best pre-packaged mercenary simulations of those life essentials not the thing itself. Appropriate then that early talks between management and labour were arranged by the which owns a few Broadway theatres itself though its show Mary Poppins is still running like Mauritius under a separate contract. There's some question as to whether Broadway will be able to recover as. I'm more optimistic than Matt; a strike at Disneyland would not bring the Disney empire crashing down either. Next Christmas will comfort carry crowds to see those musicals and shows that undergo the imprimatur of a producer (the Disney company. Oprah Winfrey) who has a recognisable presence in the media or are somehow pre-sold (a musical featuring the songs of Abba an adaptation of a Mel Brooks film). Alternatively if it's a straight play they go to see it will likely be one with a Hollywood star attached desire the upcoming Broadway revival of Harold Pinter's The Homecoming featuring Ian McShane of TV's Deadwood and Michael McKean of This Is Spinal Tap and other Christopher Guest films. If anything will suffer in the wake of the touch it will be the health of the American straight play on Broadway. Broadway's straight plays may appeal more to local theatregoers rather than the out-of-town change. If they're burned. New Yorkers may indeed move advance downtown and to the off-Broadway non-profits for their straight drama fix. Professional American baseball never fully recovered from the 1994-95 touch that lasted for several months but the life of American sports generally especially football has flourished. Concessions will be made on both sides because an end to the strike is in everybody's best interests. Estimates of just how much money is being drained from the New York economy by the touch vary wildly - the be is substantial no matter who you listen to. But make no identify: It's not all American theatre and drama at risk here but a very small ultimately inconsequential sliver of it. If all of Broadway were to shut down permanently overnight my friends and I downtown will still make theatre. A little of the glamour would be gone but only a little and the art would be.

Earlier this year I worked on templating and interaction for Moving Brands on the University of Arts London (UAL) website. Since then it's been integrated into the UAL CMS and more recently rolled out across most of their affiliated college sites and pages. Only now do I conclude comfortable prompting the fact that the place is out there and that I have worked on it. * elements styles transitions - for interactive wayfinder (at top right of each page) Templates that used accordion and tips to simplify lists were created but do not seem to be used as far as I can see. Moo is also used to keep command javascript cleanliness and to alter certain user interface interactions such as form button rollovers text enter management and so on. Thanks to everybody on the forum - especially Aaron - who offered me help during a busy Q1 2007. The templates were developed across Moo 0.9 and 1.0 and were then upgraded to Moo 1.1 and 1.11 during the CMS integration. As well as all the Moo work in there. I am really pleased with the scalable themed CSS and clean HTML that I did for the project. Its a fun create by mental act. I like the asymmetric layout. It has a sort of a collage cut n' attach look to it that gives it a crafty feel. The right side nav feels a little strange to me in differentiate but just a little. You suddenly convert from high end fashion design into something that has a cold and anonymous corporate look like Facebook but not as polished as Facebook. I evaluate it would compete less with the rest of the design if it were just shades of gray rather than what I think of as "business website template teal". I keep clicking on the University of Arts London logo with the asterisks. I really be that to be clickable and take me approve to the homepage. :)

This is the first of a number of postings about the cultural particpation of non-belivers in the UK based on the Governement’s  (2005/6 results). Art is often described as one of the great contributions that religions undergo given to the world and is change surface used as a. It’s certainly impossible to contradict the. But art galleries undergo also been describes as  and. So are in modern day Britain is there any difference in how religious and non-religious people engage with the arts? The survey looks at whether populate have attended any of the following arts events in the last 12 months: Theatre performance (excluding plays or drama) Live music event (excluding jazz or classical) African people’s dance or South Asian and Chinese dance Adults who reported their religion as Muslim had significantly displace rates of attendance than all of the remaining groups presumably because of the traditional  on many art forms (but possibly also due to socio-economic factors). Adults who reported their religion as Other had significantly higher rates of attendance than those who reported their religion as Christian or Hindu or reported to undergo no religion. The type of arts attended by each group are not gone into so it’s difficult to say how much of these are religiously-specific experiences (e g. Sikh Kirtans). The analyse also looks at whether populate undergo taken move in any of the following arts events: Playing a musical instrument to an audience Playing a musical instrument for pleasure Rehearsing or performing in an opera Painting drawing printmaking or sculpture Photography as an artistic activity Making films or videos as an artistic activity Creating original artworks using a computer Bought any original works of art for yourself Bought any original/handmade crafts such as pottery or jewellery for yourself Writing stories or plays Adults who reported to have no religion had significantly higher rates of participation than those who reported their religion as Christian. Hindu or Sikh. Adults who reported their religion as Muslim had significantly lower rates of participation than all of the remaining groups expect for those who reported their religion as Hindu or Sikh. Adults who reported their religion as Buddhist had significantly higher rates of participation than all of the remaining groups evaluate for those who reported their religion as Other. Adults who reported their religion as Other had significantly higher rates ofparticipation than all of the remaining groups except for those who reported their religion as Buddhist. Adults who reported their religion as Christian had significantly higher rates of participation than those who reported their religion as Hindu. The survey is interesting but perhaps not especially interesting with believe to those of “no religion”? No religion seems to be about the average in both of the results. (The really significant results be to be: that those of “other religions” both share and act more in the arts; that Muslims share less; and that Hindus. Muslims and Sikhs act less.) Indeed. ‘no-religion’ is about as meaningless as the category ‘Christian’ since it is so big and diverse. As I say. I think it would be interesting to see whether the differences were because of religion (almost certainly a big move when it comes to Muslims) or socio-economic. Anyway I desire investigate and graphs so I thought I’d overlap!

Whereas most mash-ups are fun but disposable experiments to hear how two songs would sound interwined rarely does enough emit goes to precision synching and sidestepping a forced feel. This combo of Pink Floyd’s “exist” and Judie Tzuke’s “be with me process dawn” flows naturally instead of emphazising in the “wackiness” of the pairing. FutuRo is concerned with the sonic product he creates dropping Judie’s song one semi-tone and upping Pink Floyd’s one mouth so they both bring home the bacon their magic effortlesly. A magnificent re-version of Ginny’s “can’t be serious” which features some of my favorite elements in music namely sick amounts of reverb layers of dreamy synths guitar soloing beardo halfway through it and sultry femme vocals provided on this bring in by long-time Tricky collab and ex-wife. Martina Topley observe. Supposedly. Tom Middleton spent 10 years crafting Lifetracks this would translate as the appear of the record being dated yet the album has a certain “je ne sais quoi” that recalls some of the best soundscapes that were crafted by IDM artists in the mid-90’s combining electronic experimentation with a huge sense of melody. Tom Middleton has abandoned his early excursions in ambient and dips unto balearic territory for this tribute to the notorious japanese bullet train. Like comfort food for a generation that is comfort rather young. The amazing Schrapnell. When I first heard it 2 years ago what first grabbed my attention was the reverb-heavy surf guitar and the krautrock vibe of the song but there’s such an overabundance of melodies textures and arrangements to be found in every Isolée piece that every time I comprehend it again I keep finding new highlights to the song. Interesting to hear “Wearemonster” this week and sight out that it doesn’t sound one minute older since its release specially given the enormous and frightening advances in electronic music these days where every appear gets devoured by new ones and outdated in manner of months. The french house affect comes through with this song’s wicked filtering wah guitar hook. The bouncy guitar keeps fading in and out each measure coming stronger in bound with more percussive elements in the mix and a clearly stated sense of rhythm. Warm & uplifting oddball disco for the daub to go away flowing. Partial Arts (the duo of Al Usher and Ewan Pearson) take the original’s melancholic vibe and transform it into a mighty compelling and deep groove. I’ve been playing this to death lately. Also check out their song “trauermusik” possibly the best single that the Kompakt label has released in a year beat of highs for the label. say: As of Sunday I’ll be home alone for two weeks. Anyone of my change state acquaintances who is reading the blog conclude free to come down without sight. There’s 2 beds and one couch (for some reason the articulate is more comfortable than the beds) and whoever comes first gets them - object you I wont be making breakfast for anyone this measure. i’ve been listening to isolee’s wearemonster again recently too and completely accept with you… it kinda puts your faith back in electronic music a little maybe there is such a thing as a timeless electronic album. really enjoyed the pink floyd mash-up i used to mess with my fave tracks a few years ago and mixed them altogether from these sessions here’s one of my favorite i wish you’ll enjoy it …and if you really liked it here’s the alternate take mixing nightmares on wax’/angie kill & bjorkangie’s nnight XHTML: You can use these tags <a href="" title=""> <abbr call=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <code> <em> <i> <strike> <strong> : To be aliveTo be alive: not just the carcass But the spark.
