The impact of new technologies on theatre and costumeGeorge Diamandis
This document discusses the impact of new technologies on theatre and costume design over time. It begins by looking at technological innovations in ancient Greek theatre like the deus ex machina machine. It then outlines major technological developments that revolutionized theatre, like the introduction of electricity which allowed for new lighting effects. The digital revolution is bringing virtual, augmented and mixed reality technologies to theatre. These technologies require directors and designers to reimagine how performances are staged. While theatre has always adapted technologies to serve artistic visions, the relationship is now reciprocal as new technologies also shape creative works. The future of how technology will impact audiences and performances remains unknown.
This document introduces the HEDA project, which aims to develop a methodology for teaching social and civic education in secondary schools through art forms like theater, film, and painting. It discusses definitions of key concepts like citizenship, human rights, and different art forms. The document outlines how the HEDA project will use experiential learning techniques derived from theater to help students develop skills like critical thinking around social issues in a way that sticks better than traditional civic education courses. It provides examples of how the HEDA method would be applied in classroom lessons focusing on topics like refugees and immigration.

The document summarizes the conflict over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam between Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan. Ethiopia wants to use the dam for hydroelectric power and development, but Egypt fears it will significantly reduce the downstream flow of the Nile River, which it relies on for over 90% of its water. Negotiations have failed to reach an agreement on how fast Ethiopia can fill the dam reservoir and how much water must be released. The countries and African Union are aiming to finalize a deal within two to three weeks to regulate dam operations and protect all countries' water and energy interests. The document provides background on each country's perspectives and interests in the conflict over the Blue Nile waters.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and promotes changes in the brain which help enhance one's emotional well-being and mental clarity.
This document provides guidance on developing high-quality journalism standards. It emphasizes the importance of accuracy in reporting facts and details rather than opinions. Journalists should utilize multiple credible sources to provide balanced coverage and allow readers to form their own opinions. When writing pieces, reporters should avoid opinionated language and clearly separate facts from opinions using clear attribution for any quotes or statements. All stories should be written in a simple, easy to understand manner for a broad audience. Strong hypotheses are key to driving investigations and research, and should be questioned and tested against facts rather than seeking to only prove predetermined conclusions.
The Grêmio Recreativo Escola de Samba Portela is the oldest samba school in Rio de Janeiro, founded in 1923. It has won the top-tier Rio parade competition 22 times total, more than any other school. Some of Brazil's most famous samba composers have worked for the Portela school over the years. The school's symbol is an eagle displayed on its opening float in Rio's Carnival parades.
