In their definition of theater as part of the introduction to Theatrical Worlds, Charlie Mitchell and Michelle Hayford point out how collaborative and personal theater is. “Unlike other solitary forms of art, theatre is often highly collaborative.” In addition to occurring between people, theater also occurs in the moment:
While it is true that performances can be captured on film or video, the true experience of live theatre cannot be truly duplicated. Once it is finished, it lives only in memory. This transitory quality of theatre is due to the dynamic between the actor and the audience. There is a feedback loop —energy is exchanged. Each produces signals that are perceived by the other, which, in turn, can profoundly affect how the performance evolves.
This desire to interact in a shared moment in part drives Bill Irwin’s production “In Zoom” (2020). During a virtual performance, actors and audience can’t literally reach out and touch one another. They share virtual image and sound, but not sensory experiences such as touch. In addition, actors and audiences can’t look about from any angle they wish as they can in person. However, streaming virtual performances has the significant advantage of allowing a much broader range of audiences to view performances from many locations and when schedules allow, often at substantially lower or even free prices.
Discussing at least two of our primary sources and two of our secondary sources, explain your opinion as to whether the virtual (and free!) performances offer enough advantages that they might be able to rival in-person theater experiences. Also, might Lynn Nottage be right in “These Truths: Realizing a New Theatre” to suggest that, having had to innovate for pandemic virtual theater, we may find that “we have begun dreaming about what the future can look like in a more expansive and beautiful way”?

Mental health in the digital space
Investigate the differences between working in a physical environment and a digital home environment. The goal is to identify advantages and disadvantages in the different environments and what you as an employer should think about.

A full biopsychosocial assessment should be developed based on client from the students’ fieldwork experience. A detailed outline follows:
Part 1-Describe your agency setting. (It is social services agency that services individuals underserved in the community.)
How does the agency impact on social casework methods and how does it address your role and function as a social worker as defined by this agency?
Part 2-Provide a biopsychosocial assessment (Identifying data, presenting problem, personal and family history, medical history, legal history, educational/vocational history as it relates to presenting problem, mental health or social service treatment history, current level of functioning, diagnostic impressions (DSM V), and prognosis based on strengths and limitations). Include the role of culture, race, religion, class, and gender as they relate to the client’s experience of the presenting problem.
Part 3-Review client contact to date (this can include a segment of process to illustrate significant themes or to highlight client-worker dynamics). Also include counter-transferential material and make use of practice examples to illustrate where appropriate.
Part 4-Identify your practice skills (empathy, engagement, professional use of self, etc.) utilized thus far.
Part 5-Report from the social work literature, demonstrate a familiarity of the knowledge base and assessment of this particular population or issue (i.e.: elderly, domestic violence) that is relevant to work with this client.

Development plan
Review the sample development plan supplement from lesson 5. Review the templates.
This case study developmental planning analysis will provide opportunity to apply various concepts discussed in class and throughout your readings to create a development plan for an employee development plan or your own career development plan.
Helpful concepts to review and apply include:
• The role of talent management in supporting the organization’s strategic objectives
• The use of competency models to create alignment of talent needs with training and development goals
• The identification of individual competencies/strengths and weaknesses to create a development action plan
• Creating learning and development experiences over time to enhance long-term development
Steps to complete the case analysis development plan:
1. Conduct a SWOT analysis to identify organizational and industry strategic issues. SWOT Analysis Template.docx
Consider: What strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats exist in maintaining a successful career in your target organization or in today’s business environment?
2. Based upon your SWOT analysis, draft a competency model for your organization or intended work place as you develop your career. Note if there are any differences between current vs. future competency requirements. Strategic Competency Needs.docx
3. Using the competency model as a guide, identify a job candidate in your organization / case that you believe is “promotable” to the next level of challenge in the organization. (Imagine you are their supervisor) Conduct a “gap” analysis. Note what strengths and weaknesses they may have and what attributes may contribute to their success. Analyzing Gaps.docx
Consider: Identify strengths vs. weaknesses to help manage via development process. (Eg, Has operational experiences but not management experience; Has introverted personality holding them back.)
4. Prepare a “development plan” that outlines behavioral and targeted development goals for the individual (or yourself). Note that you are including resource needs as well as a time-frame for accountability. Development Plan.docx
Consider: Do they (or you) need some developmental experiences you can suggest?
The templates can be used to structure your process as well as provide documentation of your final work product. A cover sheet that summarizes your findings/recommendations should be included as an executive summary.
Complete your final write-up which may be turned in using the template format to type in your work.
Our first writing assignment will be a personal narrative, using Desmond-Harris’ article “Tupac and My Non-Thug Life” as a model. Choose a SPECIFIC text – be it a book, story, song, film, video game, etc. – and explain how that text has influenced your personal philosophy or helped to shape your identity. You can choose to focus on a specific work, or the work of an artist in general (writer, songwriter, director). Think back to “Tupac and My Non-Thug Life”. How did Desmond-Harris communicate Tupac’s influence on the formation of her identity as a young black woman? Reflect on your own identity as an adult in the year 2020. “Identity” here can be defined as your gender identity, racial identity, your identity as a writer, an artist, a student, or simply your “identity” in general. Define this identity and explain how the piece of media you choose has influenced that identity.Some questions you might ask yourself are
1. What are some stories that I read long ago, the message of which has stuck with me into adulthood?
2. How do I define myself as a writer? What influences have affected my writing?
3. How do I present myself as an individual, and why do I present myself this way?
4. How does this piece of media make me feel, and why? How does it relate to my life?
5. Is there a song I listen to every day, or a novel/story/film that I continue to think about, or to which I return? What makes this piece of media significant to me?
Write a 3 – 4-page essay responding to this prompt. You do not need to cite “Tupac and My Non-Thug Life”, nor do you need to cite the piece of media that you decide to write about. Remember, however, to consider your audience. You should spend some time summarizing the piece of media that you choose, but do not allow this summary to consume the essay itself. A considerable amount of space should be devoted to how this work influenced your identity. If you do decide to cite your work, which is welcomed, remember to use proper MLA formatting for in-text citations, as well as a works cited page at the end of your draft (refer to the Purdue style guide in the module for Week Two). Remember to refer to the texts from our Open Educational Resources when drafting and organizing your introduction, your body paragraphs, and your conclusion. Your thesis should include the name of the work and the author (songwriter, director, etc.), how it influenced you, and a list of the ways that it has influenced you.Objectives: communication skills and transferring ideas from mind to paper; considering experience and how that relates to reading, learning, growing, and identity; critical reading and response; introduction, thesis, and conclusion.
