Watch the video of this episode. What does it mean to be live? Can a hologram be considered performance? Is going to the theatre a private or communal act? And should performing artists embrace and incorporate technological change—or should they resist, and build an oasis from social media and screen time? What on earth is going on with live performance in the digital age? Listen to the first-ever recording of the podcast with a live audience! The panel, moderated by Ben, features Colleen Renihan, Craig Walker and Michael Wheeler of the Dan School of Drama and Music. About the Panel Colleen Renihan Colleen Renihan was delighted to join the Dan School of Drama and Music faculty as a Queen's National Scholar in 2016. She earned a B.

Her dissertation Sounding the Past was a finalist for the Society for American Music’s Housewright Dissertation Award. Dr. Renihan’s research considers aspects of opera and operatic culture from a postmodern perspective. Inherently interdisciplinary in nature, it explores cultural politics, popular culture, performance theory, temporality, memory theory, opera’s interactions with media (specifically film), and opera’s potential for intervention in current debates in the philosophy of history. Her work has been published in a variety of edited collections and journals, including, most recently, twentieth century music, The Journal of the Society for American Music, and Music, Sound, and the Moving Image. Forthcoming publications include an invited chapter on Benjamin Britten’s coronation opera Gloriana to an edited collection for Boydell & Brewer, and a chapter on affective listening in Harry Somers’s Louis Riel for Wilfrid Laurier Press. Two current book projects explore the historiographical dimensions of American postwar opera, and innovation in Canadian opera and music theatre 1970-2010. Dr. Renihan has presented her research at academic conferences in Canada, the United States, and Europe, including chapter and national meetings of the American Musicological Society, and in 2010, she participated in the Society for Music Theory’s graduate student workshop on ‘Music and Narrative’ with Michael Klein. She was a founding member of Operatics (a working group for the interdisciplinary study of opera) at the University of Toronto, a founding member of IPMC (Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Music in Canada), and has been involved with several research and writing projects at the Canadian Music Centre.

Jennifer Wise was born with a passion for making connections, taking photos, and preserving memories in scrapbooks and journals. She was always a scrapbooker (but never the fancy kind) because she felt it was an important way to cherish things that were important to her.As her three kids came along, she felt that memory-keeping was an important way to show them that their lives matter to her and that they have a place where they belong. She feels strongly that a scrapbook – however it’s made – is a gift because it’s something happy and meaningful to go to when things get hard. When she tells you her motto, “Don’t let your babies grow up to be jpegs,” she really means it.You can find Jennifer on her website www.heritagemakers.com/jeffiferwiseTwitter: www.twitter.com/jenniferwisehm and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heritagemakerswithjennifer
In this episode of Leading from the Classroom, 2017 South Carolina Teacher of the Year Jennifer Wise shares what it's like to come from a long line of educators, and how her family's legacy inspires her every day.
They're called "gateway drugs" — those first little things that get us thinking, "It's not so bad..." which lead to bigger things. And before we know it, we're hooked. Can't get enough. And we want to share it with our kids. No, not the special brownies... we're talking about science fiction, fantasy — and yes, even horror — and how in our enthusiasm, we go about sharing our madness for Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Firefly, Superman, Wolverine, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, Space: 1999, comic books, video games, and Ray Harryhausen.

The Walt Disney Company is known for their ground-breaking classic animated films: SNOW WHITE, CINDERELLA, SLEEPING BEAUTY, plus more recent classics like THE LION KING, THE LITTLE MERMAID, MULAN, and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. In recent years, though, they've been dipping back into that same well to take those classic animated stories and rework them into live-action pieces such as MALEFICENT, 101 DALMATIANS, and CINDERELLA. The latest release, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, gives us a chance to compare and contrast this version and the classic animated feature. Along the way, we discuss the other projects in the pipeline: MULAN, a sequel to THE JUNGLE BOOK, THE LION KING, DUMBO, and more. Should Disney be re-making all of these classic films? Or should they work to deliver new classics? The panel: Mindy Inlow, Jennifer Wise, Teresa Wickersham, Sonya Rodriguez, Ann Laabs, Lauren Garrison

Three weeks after its debut in theaters, ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY is still going strong at the box office. Quickly surpassing Captain America: Civil War, it gained the number two spot for 2016. Critical acclaim, positive word-of-mouth, and even a controversy or two concerning the resurrection of certain characters -- all worked to make ROGUE ONE a hot property. The gang gathers around the table to talk about favorite moments, some quibbles, and speculations about what happens next, especially in the wake of Carrie Fisher's untimely death. The panel: Mackenna Riley, Mindy Inlow, Jennifer Wise, Thomas Townley, Jay McDowell, Jeff Hackworth, Sam Sentman, Dan Handley
In this episode, the Chicks discuss Black Widow and the possibility that she might finally get her own solo movie from Marvel. What would that mean for the Marvel Cinematic Universe? But more importantly, what would it mean for fans? Especially women and girls who would like to have some role models of their own? What would it mean to have a female lead character who's not defined by her relationships to the men in the group? And what went wrong with Black Widow's presentation in Avengers: Age of Ultron that might have set her back a bit? The discussion ranges from when (or if?) the solo movie would happen, and whether it might or might not be a better fit for Netflix. What about recasting younger for a prequel series? We also discuss the action figures, the toys — or lack thereof — and if the industry is ever going to really understand that the audience is 51% female... The panel: Allison Isberg, Ann Laabs, Sonya Rodriguez, Jennifer Wise, Lauren Garrison, Kiri Evins
