Title: The Greenhouse Project: using art to empower the "lost generation" of Uganda.
Creator: Rossin, Rachel Alex., Florida State University
Abstract/Description: "The Greenhouse Project: Using Art to empower the 'lost generation' of Uganda" began in the summer of 2008 as a part of an undergraduate research project. Last summer I spent 6 weeks in an orphanage teaching art and documenting my experience through writing, film and photography. This Honors in the Major thesis project will serve to compile my findings from my summer research into completion. The thesis is creative-based in Graphic Design and will involve three main parts: A book that will be...

Last summer I spent 6 weeks in an orphanage teaching art and documenting my experience through writing, film and photography. This Honors in the Major thesis project will serve to compile my findings from my summer research into completion. The thesis is creative-based in Graphic Design and will involve three main parts: A book that will be privately published, a comprehensive art show, and a dynamic, complete website that will feature all the aspects of the project. While living in Uganda, I took footage and photographs. Both of those mediums will be edited to their final stage and are to be included in the comprehensive art shows. All of these components will contribute to profiting the Greenhouse Orphanage, but will also contribute to the cultural exchange dialogue between America and Uganda. Additionally, there will be a broader awareness brought about regarding the quality of living in developing countries from a first world perspective.

Abstract/Description: Read All About It: A College Musical is a full-length musical screenplay centered around five college students during the course the fall and spring semesters of one academic year. It was written in collaboration with Kristen Rodriguez.

Show moreRead All About It: A College Musical is a full-length musical screenplay centered around five college students during the course the fall and spring semesters of one academic year. It was written in collaboration with Kristen Rodriguez. Two important themes addressed are "don't judge a book by its cover," "there is more than one path to take in life," and "there is more than one 'right' way." The purpose of the musical format is to add to the element of expression, which can often be repressed by submission to conformity, refusals to speak out, or due to fear. In addition, music gives the words more purpose and phrasing than if they were to be merely spoken. It is an added layer to help tell the story and the point of the song. The songs in a musical often are very moving and powerful, serving as a driving force for the story while exploring the characters' motivations and actions. The main characters in the screenplay learn about life, not only through their classes, but even more so from their interpersonal relationships within their groups and interconnecting thread between the five of them. These students begin the fall semester thinking and believing one way and end the spring semester with a new outlook on each other and themselves., The screenplay, as a whole, is intended to address and oppose certain stereotypical roles, particularly those based on race, religion, and politics. We show individuals who experience different forms of prejudice and misjudgment, which are irrational and unjustifiable caused, and the emotional journey, sometimes physical, it takes them. The screenplay can serve as an insight to people yet to be in college or as a time of reflection for those who are or once were. Yet, people who have experience any sorts of prejudgments can identify with the themes and stories in our screenplay. As in real life, the main characters realize that people are unique, and those who come from different lifestyles can be just as important and principled as people who share different or similar qualities as themselves. This is the moral of Read All About It.

Title: Prometheus: a directing project.
Creator: DeSpiegler, Kyle., Florida State University
Abstract/Description: My project investigates an ancient Greek myth concerning the Titan Prometheus. I have taken the play that Aeschylus wrote on behalf of Prometheus and molded it into a devised piece of theatre. My actors have improvised with relationships, themes and characters surrounding Prometheus in the text and created our own original body of work.

I have taken the play that Aeschylus wrote on behalf of Prometheus and molded it into a devised piece of theatre. My actors have improvised with relationships, themes and characters surrounding Prometheus in the text and created our own original body of work. Working with Grotowski's "Statement of Principles" we have developed a tight knit family of actors and with these actors have created some phenomenal work in the realm of performance research. In our attempt we have created a contemporary mold of how to approach ancient Greek theatre.

Title: Postmodernism and myth: Love Story, a short novella.
Creator: Ayala, Jennifer Rose, Florida State University
Abstract/Description: This thesis was a creative endeavor combining classical mythology and "Postmodern" storytelling. In the form of a novella, it retold the myth of the marriage of the goddess Aphrodite to Hephaestus, and their eventual separation. The story ultimately removes itself from canonical chains to retell the adultery that took place in the myth, while humorously examining a marital lampoon.

Show moreThis thesis was a creative endeavor combining classical mythology and "Postmodern" storytelling. In the form of a novella, it retold the myth of the marriage of the goddess Aphrodite to Hephaestus, and their eventual separation. The story ultimately removes itself from canonical chains to retell the adultery that took place in the myth, while humorously examining a marital lampoon. The content of the story playfully addresses relationships and sexuality through the lens of the two gods' marriage and their faithful milkman. The purpose of this thesis was to elevate classical myth as a literary subject and to do so in a way that would be accessible to the modern audience. In other words, this thesis aimed to make storytelling as interesting and classically informative as possible. In execution of this project, I found the "Postmodernist" setting a lucrative place for the classics to exist and for mythology to thrive. Surrealism, unconventional forms, and a predilection for satire were all elements of "Postmodernism" that helped to execute this novella. In the end this project was as much about discovering how to enjoy and embellish the creative results of such a rewarding literary genre, as revivifying a forgotten 'Love Story.'

Title: Genre morphology.
Creator: Dimmer, Elizabeth Lauren., Florida State University
Abstract/Description: In "Genre Morphology," my aim is to directly address the formal renaissance most prevalent in new poets born after 1940 by engaging formal structure and writing a series of formal poems, varied in structure and context. In the manuscript, the creative methodology for directly engaging in "neo-formalist work" is to physically move into formal experimentation and engagement with expressions of resistance by: grafting free verse onto traditional forms, shifting stanzaic patterns, creating hybrid...
Show moreIn "Genre Morphology," my aim is to directly address the formal renaissance most prevalent in new poets born after 1940 by engaging formal structure and writing a series of formal poems, varied in structure and context. In the manuscript, the creative methodology for directly engaging in "neo-formalist work" is to physically move into formal experimentation and engagement with expressions of resistance by: grafting free verse onto traditional forms, shifting stanzaic patterns, creating hybrid and nonce forms; inverting forms, truncating forms, and extending forms. In this sense I intend to use Levi-Strauss's concept of bricolage. "Genre Morphology" was developed with the knowledge that nothing in poetry can ever escape some form artifice, that no poem can ever be truly without structure, and with the intent to adapt these tools without hesitation, therefore, to move toward a greater critique of language as a whole; to move towards a mythopoetical understanding of my place within the poetic forms of the past as a nondominant social figure.
