For the #03 episode of We Belong, we take you to Spain to meet Míriam Hatibi, an activist against racism and islamophobia and the author of “Look Me in the Eye” and “Leila”. Miriam also contributes to the opinion sections of different publications, where she promotes a visible media presence for people of diverse origins, particularly women.  Following the August 2017 terrorist attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils, Míriam vehemently condemned terrorism at a demonstration in Plaça de Catalunya that brought together hundreds of Muslims. Since December 2014, she has been the spokesperson for the Ibn Battuta Foundation (FIB), an entity created to promote socio-cultural exchange. In conversation with Miriam, we recalled her reaction to the terrorist attacks and how she works to deconstruct islamophobia and stereotypes surrounding muslim people. We also spoke about her ambition to create new spaces for immigrant daughters to shine in society.  Keys: Code Academy (code academy.dev), One Young World Scholarships (https://www.oneyoungworld.com/scholarships).

Episode 193: Drama Teachers: How do you run an effective Q and A session? In the 21st century, the world is at our fingertips. That means your students can interact with the playwright of their next play through Skype, do a Google Hangout with a professional actor, or talk to a set designer on Facebook Live. But how do you run a question and answer session that's valuable for your students and gets the most out of your guest?  Listen in for some insight and for a Q and A in action! Show Notes Hoodie Humbug High Deck the Stage Episode Transcript Welcome to the Drama Teacher Podcast brought to you by Theatrefolk – the Drama Teacher Resource Company. I'm Lindsay Price. Hello! I hope you're well. Thanks for listening! This is Episode 193 and you can find any links to this episode in the show notes which are at Theatrefolk.com/episode193. Today, we're talking about Q&A. Ah, I'm a rhymer! We all know what that means – questions and answers – Q&A. We are living in an age of communication, an age of technology, and age where your students can actually talk to the playwright of their next play – you know, so long as it's not Shakespeare or some other dead playwright, you know – although wouldn't that be awesome? Can you imagine, you can have your time machine and you could talk to Shakespeare? I digress. But you could talk to the playwright of your next play through Skype. You could do a Google Hangout with a professional actor. You could talk to a set designer on Facebook Live. It is all possible and it's something that I do quite a lot of. I do a lot of Skype Q&As – virtual Q&As with students who are putting up one of my plays. Sometimes, I talk to student directors; sometimes, I talk to after-school programs; sometimes, it's classes. I've talked to high schools, I've talked to middle schools. On paper, I think that these events are kind of fabulous. I would do them and will do them for anyone doing one of my plays. I love hearing what students think. I love hearing what they think about the characters, about what's happening. I have one play called “Look Me in the Eye” and students always want to know how to pronounce the names in the play. It takes place in the future so the names are a little bit off-kilter and they want to know if they've got the background right for the names and how they're pronounced and if they're on the right track. I can answer those questions. I can help their process. But, sometimes, what can happen is I talk to a teacher ahead of time and the teacher talks about how excited the students are to talk to me and how they want to talk to me and they have all kinds of questions and they can't wait and the day comes and the Skype is all set up and I'm there and they're there and there's maybe one or two questions and then silence. I get it. I know, I know, it's weird. It's weird to do this online. It's weird to do it over the computer instead of in person. Sometimes – and this happens to me all the time – you have this amazing question, a series of amazing questions, and then, in the moment, it just completely escapes your head. I get it. So, the question is – for these Q&A questions – how do you run a Q&A session that is valuable for your students and also gets the most out of your guest. I did a great Q&A with a group of middle school students in Ireland, no less. It was pretty awesome. I just happened to be there on a trip and I get notices of who's doing my plays and it was all serendipitous. I'm like, “Hey! This school in Ireland is doing my show! Hey! We're going to be near their area!” and the teacher was, you know, all onboard. So, I got to go to the school and see scenes from the show and then we did this massive Q&A. They grilled me on everything! I'm going to put a picture in the show notes of the question map they created before I got there. These guys, they were prepared! We recorded the Q&A and I'm going to play it af...

Episode 186: Production Case Study: Look Me In the Eye Where do you start with a play? How do you come up with a vision that spans across character development, light, sound, set, costuming? How do you execute on that vision?  In this episode we have another production case study for our play Look Me In The Eye. If you're a director, want to be a director, or want your students to learn about directing, this is the podcast for you. Show Notes Look Me In the Eye Drama Teacher Academy Episode Transcript Welcome to the Drama Teacher Podcast brought to you by Theatrefolk – the Drama Teacher Resource Company. I'm Lindsay Price. Hello! I hope you're well. Thanks for listening! This is Episode 186 and you can find any links to this episode in the show notes which are at Theatrefolk.com/episode186. There we go! 186! Today, we have another production case study and I really – oh, I really – enjoy recording these and I hope that they're useful for you as well. That's kind of the point. I hope they accomplish that point. I think it's good to hear how directors choose a play, approach a play, make decisions, create a vision, and then execute on that vision. Creating a vision and executing a vision – that's such a big part of a director's job and I think our guest today is a great example of creation and execution. So, let's get to it! LINDSAY: So, I am here talking with Kelli Connors. Hello, Kelli! KELLI: Hello, Lindsay! LINDSAY: Hello! First off, can you tell everybody where in the world you are? KELLI: I am located in North Berwick, Maine, which is one of the several places that I teach and run a theatre program. LINDSAY: Yes, you wear many hats! I know you and we've been in contact because you did a production of one of my plays – Look Me in The Eye – and that's sort of what we're talking about today just to do a case study on vision and the visualization of vision. You don't work in a traditional – not traditional sense but you work in a lot of different areas in drama and education. KELLI: I do. I'm a freelance theatre artist and I work in a charter school that the model that they work on hires people from the working artist world to teach their visual arts programs, their performing arts programs, their music programs. I also work in a gifted and talented program in the Maine school system. Every school in the state of Maine is supposed to have a gifted and talented program. The function that I have in that particular school is called the Theatre Excel Arts Program and I teach theatre grades six through twelve for a certain amount of weeks out of the year. I'm also employed as an independent contractor at the high school as their theatre director – their artistic director of the theatre program. LINDSAY: That is a lot! Do you enjoy the multifaceted-ness of that? KELLI: You know, it's interesting you should ask me that. I called a friend yesterday – or two days ago – in a meltdown state saying I've got twelve jobs and my worlds are all colliding and I'm not sure how to keep all of this straight and sometimes it's overwhelming. The upside of doing a lot of different work – and I work in the professional world as well, I'm in the process of costuming a show – the upside of that is I don't have to go into an office and punch somebody's timeclock. That is refreshing and wonderful to me and it allows my brain to continually gyrate in the creative areas which is what feeds my soul. The downside of that is, as I said, sometimes, all of those schedules in my world collide and I just feel like I need to throw the whole thing up in the air and see where all the pieces land and hope to be able to put them in some semblance of order to continue with my schedule. LINDSAY: You must be in six places at once. Go! KELLI: Absolutely! My husband asks me things like, “Oh, do you still live here?” That's kind of my world.

Living with Asperger’s, John Elder Robison had come to terms with the way he was different, riding life’s ups and downs. But what if it was possible to unlock the emotional insight that we assume is ‘missing’ in people living with Aspergers – if only you undertook an experimental brain therapy? Is that fixing?  Chaired by Van Badham John Elder Robison is The New York Times bestselling author of Look Me in the Eye. He is a world-recognised authority on life with autism; the Neurodiversity Scholar in Residence at the College of William and Mary; and a member of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee for the US Department of Health and Human Services. John is also a member of the International Society for Autism Research. He lives with his wife and son in Amherst, Massachusetts.

Host - Marianne Russo Imagine spending the first forty years of your life in darkness, blind to the emotions and social signals of other people. Then imagine that someone suddenly switches the lights on. It has long been assumed that people living with autism are born with the diminished ability to read the emotions of others, even as they feel emotion deeply. But what if we've been wrong all this time? What if that “missing” emotional insight was there all along, locked away and inaccessible in the mind?  In 2007 John Elder Robison wrote the international bestseller Look Me in the Eye, a memoir about growing up with Asperger's syndrome. Amid the blaze of publicity that followed, he received a unique invitation: Would John like to take part in a study led by one of the world's foremost neuroscientists, who would use an experimental new brain therapy known as TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, in an effort to understand and then address the issues at the heart of autism? Switched On is the extraordinary story of what happened next.  Having spent forty years as a social outcast, misreading others' emotions or missing them completely, John is suddenly able to sense a powerful range of feelings in other people. However, this newfound insight brings unforeseen problems and serious questions. As the emotional ground shifts beneath his feet, John struggles with the very real possibility that choosing to diminish his disability might also mean sacrificing his unique gifts and even some of his closest relationships. Switched On is a real-life Flowers for Algernon, a fascinating and intimate window into what it means to be neurologically different, and what happens when the world as you know it is upended overnight.
