Happy World Theatre Day!
Please read the following - very thoughtful - piece by Lauren Gunderson: Theatre of the Long Now - World Theatre Day 2011 To mark this year's World Theatre Day (March 27) I want to blend two very true things: 1.Theatre is an organic byproduct to the human experience on this earth 2.This earth is very old and still going There is a rather mind-blowingly cool organization based in San Francisco called The Long Now Foundation. Started in 1996 (or 01996 as they would write it), the Long Now folks hope "to creatively foster long-term thinking and responsibility in the framework of the next 10,000 years." And "to provide counterpoint to today's 'faster/cheaper' mind set and promote 'slower/better' thinking." I thought... where does theatre live in The Long Now? Stewart Brand, in his book The Clock of The Long Now, shows us this diagram of the timing of various cosmic currents. 
copyright The Long Now Foundation. Nature time is slowest -- fashion/art (although I might correct this to be 'pop art') time is fastest. And where is Culture? Right next to Nature. Because Culture is made up of the longest-lived stories, art, religion, language, and history of a people -- it's fiction and it's fact. Culture is a slow, patient, exhaustive, lasting human force that examines, defines, propels and deepens the life of us all. This is where theatre lives. We are still watching the plays of thousands of years ago -- we are making the plays that will be watched thousands of years from today. In fact, one of The Long Now's tenants is to "mind mythic depth" -- which is certainly what those Greeks were doing at their Theatre of Dionysus. Theatre is not built for trend -- though the good plays usually sync up with the zeitgeist. Theatre aims to make things that last. And as much incredible storytelling is going on in TV these days -- TV is a fast medium, a medium that most likely inspires "ooh what's next!" as opposed to "what does this mean for all of us in the Now?" TV and Theatre aren't competing for dramatic prowess, of course (unless it's raining on a Friday and popcorn plus a rerun of Battlestar overpowers your desire to get out the door - I've been there my friends.) They do different things (and some of the same things), and at their best do them to astonishing impact. What distinguishes Theatre most is its rebreathing. A movie is replayed (sometimes remade), a TV show is re-watched (sometimes remade), but a play is rebreathed with the simplest technology -- people. The story might be thousands of years old but a performance of it is given new breath by live, present people. This isn't rewinding, this is reliving. All Theatre needs to be Theatre is a performer, audience, and story. Simple stuff at essence - but simple stuff tends to hold up. So Theatre is given to us over and over again -- a live gift from times past to now, and from times now to the future. What plays will we send forth to the theatergoers 5000 years from now? What plays are we making and watching that "mind the deep myths" for the future? What theatre are we crafting right now that will last the long now? (I know of many good candidates for longevity, so don't worry.) I'd encourage any proponents of this Theatre of the Long Now to soberly consider our charge. We must craft the kind of stories that, when rebreathed a thousands years from now, can inform, enlighten, and inspire the Far Future. Long Now Theatre should tells long now stories -- stories of this earth and our responsibility to it, of our most global human experiences, of our connection to future/past people, of our truest truths and most meaningful discoveries, of scope, of scale, of myth, of hope. Because when I think of theatre I think of the kind that blindsided Norwegian masses when Nora walked out of that door. The kind that riveted Elizabethan England and Elizabeth herself. The kind that gathered the entire Athenian populations to watch hours of drama. The kind that started around fires in cave shelters across Africa. That is the ritual, the grand story, the human largess in which you participate, inherit, and compel by going to the theatre. Because in my long now -- Euripides, Japanese Puppeteers, Shakespeare, Ibsen, Williams, Churchill, and all of my playwriting colleagues across the world get to hang out together and ask, "what's new for you?" In this long now -- Theatre is a lifeline of wisdom from ancient cultures to now, and from now to the Far Future. In this long now -- Theatre is that most basic tool by which all of humanity can speak their speech artfully, philosophically, meaningfully... slowly. Happy World Long Now Theatre Day.

Dear 6th Grade Parents,
We hope that you all enjoyed the holiday break and we wish you a happy new year!
We wanted to take the beginning of this New Year and new semester as an opportunity to start off on the same page and to begin preparing our students for their upcoming 7th grade year (just eight months away!).
In an attempt to help our students take responsibility and advocate for themselves, homeroom teachers will no longer be leaving each class’ assignments on the white board all day. Students will need to write down their assignments after each class period. This is to help prepare them for next year when they will not only be switching class periods, but also classrooms. Students may check the blogs each night to make sure they wrote their assignments down correctly and/or get any information they missed during class time.
It is also essential that students check the blog and/or contact a fellow classmate when they miss classes, and extremely important that they be sure to check in with their teacher(s) to find out what work they need to make up. A visit to the Faculty House the morning of the student’s return to school would be a very good idea. If a student is out for more than one day, or is too ill to email his/her teachers to check in, we would greatly appreciate a parent check-in via email.
Here are each of our contacts:
Ms. Marie Bernard
mbernard@tempeprep.org

If your student does not bring a water bottle to school daily or keep one at school, we would greatly appreciate it if you would send one with your student. It helps to maintain the flow of our classes when students don’t have to leave class to get a drink of water from the fountain.
We have some big events coming up and thought we would alert you to them now so that you can mark your calendars:
Thursday, January 13: All-Class field trip to Southwest Shakespeare in Mesa to see A Midsummer Night’s Dream. *More information & Permission Trip Slips will be sent home Wednesday, January 5.
Friday, January 14: Early Release, 12:15 PM
Monday, January 17: No School ~ MLK Day
Friday, February 11: 6th Grade Greek Festival *(More information to follow this week)
Friday, February 18: Early Release, 12:15 PM
Monday, February 21: No School ~ Presidents’ Day
Thursday & Friday, March 10 & 11: Early Release, 12:15 PM
Monday – Friday, March 14-18: No School ~ Spring Break
Thursday, April 21: Early Release, 12:15 PM
Friday, April 22: No School ~ Good Friday
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, May 24, 25, 26: FINALS WEEK

Thursday, May 26: 7:00 PM ~ 6B Final Drama Performance

Cheers!
