Things are changing. Consent and factors that complicate consent are finally being recognized as central, foundational considerations in production processes and in performing arts education. People are beginning to think critically about how they approach intimacies in the rehearsal room, in the classroom, on set, in theory, in practice, and in pedagogy. As theatres and producing organizations hire more and more intimacy professionals, we need to meet the educational, resource, partnership, and access needs of this growing, learning community.
And no one organization, school of thought, or individual has all of the answers.
We need this community’s knowledge, big ideas, and resources to be accessible in order for the field of consent-based performance to grow.
We need to work together to learn from--and to teach--one another to pause, interrogate what we’re doing, and then create more equitable and competent consent-based practices. As a collective, we need to recognize the value of the work that has come before us and the work our peers are doing now, and consciously recommit ourselves to growing, learning, and doing better now and in the future
Effects of post fire ecology on plant species and abundance in Southern Californian Semi-Arid Shrublands
Get PDFChaparral strands are considered to be fire- adapted due to diverse recovery mechanisms used by chaparral plant species during secondary succession. The mixture of seeds used in the mulch for the hydroseeded site may be a combination of species native to California but not specific to the CSUSM site. Ultimately the natural emergence of native plants may be affected by hydroseeding, which can result in a decline of native plant diversity. Changes in fire frequency and/or intensity may also occur. Hydroseeding affects initial post- fire recovery of native chaparral vegetation, due to species exclusivity of seed-mixes. It was hypothesized that species diversity and abundance as well as plant cover would be higher in the area treated with hydroseed. 8 individual plots per treatment of unburned and burned, naturally regenerating and hydroseeded, stands at CSUSM. Topsoil (0-10 cm) was collected on February 1, 2019 from 24 randomly located plots (n = 8 plots/site). Woody shrubs (green shrubs) were measured for canopy area and species identification. Identified species included Adenostoma fasiciculatum, Acmispon glaber, Ceanothus tomentosus, Mimulus aurantiacus, Malosma laurina, and Salvia mellifera. The hydroseeded stand had the most diversity among plant species while the unburned stand had the least. Hydroseeded stands have more diversity due to the seed mixture of mulch that was used to initiate restoration on the CSUSM site. There was a significant difference across four major plant species. The mixture of seeds used in the mulch for the hydroseeded site may be a combination of species native to California but not specific to the CSUSM site. Ultimately the natural emergence of native plants may be affected by hydroseeding, which can result in a decline of native plant diversity. Changes in fire frequency and/or intensity may also occur
“Y el verso se hizo carne”. La maternidad como motivo poético en la poesía de Concha Méndez
Get PDFThis article aims to investigate the different manifestations of the theme of motherhood in the poetry of Concha Méndez. The analysis of her poetry collections Niño y sombras (1936) and Poemas. Sombras y sueños (1944) will reveal the plurality of meanings and images that the poet deploys to address issues such as the death of the child at birth or the hope offered by the birth of her second daughter. In addition, we will be able to see how the theme of motherhood is not limited to the particular experience, but is a way to reflect on female identity or poetic creation.El presente artículo pretende indagar en las diferentes manifestaciones del tema de la maternidad en la poesía de Concha Méndez. El análisis de sus dos poemarios Niño y sombras (1936) y Sombras y sueños (1944) revela la pluralidad de significados e imágenes que la poeta despliega para abordar asuntos como la muerte del hijo al nacer o la esperanza que le ofrece el nacimiento de su segunda hija. Además, se podrá comprobar cómo el tema de la maternidad no se limita a la experiencia particular, sino que supone una vía para reflexionar sobre la identidad femenina o la creación poética
