In the fall of 2007, I was cast in the University of Central Florida's production of The Piano Lesson.

Abstract:

Considerado um dos maiores dramaturgos americanos do século XX, August Wilson dedicou a sua carreira profissional à escrita de um ciclo de dez peças sobre a vida da comunidade afro-americana nos Estados Unidos da América, cada uma reportando a uma década do século vinte. Esta dissertação trata questões de indagação de identidade sociocultural e individual transversais à sua obra. A produção artística de Wilson contesta peremptoriamente a História dos Estados Unidos escrita pela mão de historiadores brancos, e reclama o lugar e a importância do povo afro-americano, que não vê contemplados ness

Abstract:

In 2004, August Wilson completed Gem of the Ocean, the first play in his Pittsburgh Cycle. Seven years later, the University of Central Florida's production of Gem of the Ocean went against what most consider traditional staging. With a Russian born director and a mostly white production team, playing to a predominately white audience, what are the challenges of accurately transforming the text to the stage, while still providing a truthful telling of a story? The following is a case study based on the idea of “active dramaturgy” or, more specifically, cultivating an atmosphere within the prod

Abstract:

Internationally acclaimed playwright August Wilson was born Frederick August Kittel on “The Hill” in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Son of a German baker and an African American domestic worker, Wilson learned to read at the age of four. After his mother’s divorce and remarriage, his stepfather moved the family to a mostly white suburb where they were subjected to hate crimes. Wilson dropped out of school in tenth grade after being falsely accused of plagiarism, choosing instead to spend each day educating himself in Pittsburgh’s Carnegie-funded public libraries. Unable to find work, he joined the

Abstract In August of 2003, water was discovered leaking into post-tensioning (PT) ducts for loop tendons of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. This structure is being built to cross the Potomac River in Washington D.C. At the bridge location, the Potomac is slightly brackish. To prevent corrosion, the water was pumped out of the ducts, and the ducts were sealed using an acrylic polymer gel. After sealing the ducts, the PT tendons were run, loaded and the duct annulus filled with a cementitious grout. To evaluate the acrylic gel seal corrective strategy, test specimens were prepared that generally fol

August Wilson has long been admired for his “Pittsburgh Circle” which collectively presented a panoramic view of the love, hate, and the living conditions of African Americans. Among them, Fences written in 1987 as one of his “Pittsburgh Circle” series, and also the first play to win him Pulitzer Prize actually contains a deeper revelation for understanding black females except for overwhelmingly tremendous studies on black community in this work as a whole.

The innovative element of the harvester is use of gravity force (bending of stems by a tractor own weight and formation of bunch of shoots with header and underframe) to feed in circular saws and chipper, thus significantly reducing energy demand for bending of shoots into the chipper, which is the most energy demanding ope
