Examining committee chair: Dr. Patricia Dewey The goal of this master’s research capstone is to speculate how international performing arts touring and presenting in the United States might stimulate international understanding. It first introduces the context and impact of globalization and the resulting increasing importance of cross-cultural communication competence. It then explores the environments of and factors surrounding cultural diplomacy and the performing arts industry, considering whether one specific area of the performing arts industry–international performing arts touring and presenting–might also be effective if employed more intentionally as a cultural diplomacy tool, increasing cross-cultural communication competence and encouraging meaningful international cultural interaction. An exploratory paper, it raises some of the questions and issues that arise at the intersection of these broad conceptual areas and lays groundwork for future research that is focused on a specific location or situation. en_US University of Oregon, Capstone, Arts and Administration Program; rights_reserved performing arts, cultural diplomacy, international cultural interaction, globalization, cross-cultural communication Movement, Mixture, Music: Stimulating Effective International Cultural Interaction Through the Performing Arts Other

Moving Bits is an interactive composition for Gametrak and Symbolic Sound’s Kyma. The Gametrak, a three-dimensional position-tracking system, functions as the interface for my data-driven instrument and it controls a variety of musical parameters such as timbre, pitch, timeindex, and density of events. The data created in the Gametrak is first sent to Max/MSP and then to the sound-producing algorithm residing in Kyma. Kyma responds to the data by producing the synthesized sound. Sound sources of this piece include several audio files that possess short, clean and harsh attacks. These sounds are based on recordings of Chinese instruments such as the Erhu, Guqin and Yunluo. The motives of this piece derive from various rhythm patterns. By controlling the change in the parameters, I control the musical drama as it unfolds.

Examining committee chair: Dr. Janice Rutherford Museums are critical agents of civic engagement. While many museum professionals do not ignore this particular role, they often assign it a fairly low priority. This Master's thesis investigates the community role of four art museums in urban areas of the Pacific Northwest and seeks to understand how museums engage their communities by exploring the tools and methods they employ. Current scholarship suggests that trust and inclusion are essential for engagement to occur among community members. Museums build trust and promote inclusion by providing safe spaces for discussions and debate. A museum’s leadership, mission, and exhibition philosophy are primary indicators of its inclination towards engagement. This study promotes museums as forums for public discourse and, in doing so, contributes to sustainable community development by recommending improved museum practice and policy. 217064 bytes application/pdf en_US University of Oregon theses, Arts and Administration Program, M.S. 2007 Art museums -- Northwest, Pacific Art museums and community -- Northwest, Pacific Museums and Civic Engagement in the Pacific Northwest Thesis

Examining committee chair: Dr. Lori Hager William Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets are among the most influential in the English language, touching on timeless themes and emotions. As such, Shakespeare’s plays are standard in many high-school English classes, but too often students fail to connect with these stories through traditional classroom methods. Shakespeare theaters with active education departments work to develop programming that facilitates personal connections with Shakespeare’s plays through performance- and language-centered instruction, sharing their best practices with students and educators. However, the educational landscape is changing. Technology and digital media play an increasingly important role in K-12 education with an emphasis on building 21st century skills and integrating technology that students use in their daily lives. This document explores the role of new media in Shakespeare education, including a review of the literature grounded in both best practices for Shakespeare education and technology in education, as well as findings from the 2012 Shakespeare Theatre Association Conference. These elements contribute to the overall conclusions that new media is effectively integrated in Shakespeare education when it supports active, theater-centered learning, without impeding the live theater experience. en_US A Master's capstone presented to the Arts and Administration Program of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Arts Management; capstone; rights_reserved Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 New Media and Shakespeare Education Other

Although the partnership strategy can augment the services a regional council can provide, there is a lack of literature that speaks specifically to how these partnerships are structured. This study explores the structure of these partnerships through a case study of the nonprofit organizations that partner with Oregon Cascades West Council of Governments (OCWCOG). Findings from the case study indicate that these partnerships are primarily driven by council of government staff. Board member and staff roles, although outlined in service contracts, are generally implied and not clearly defined. Recommendations include increasing the frequency of board meetings, formalizing board and staff roles, and enhancing the recruitment and orientation process for new board members. en_US Department of Planning, Public Policy & Management, University of Oregon Nonprofit Partnerships with Regional Councils Thesis

In noteScape, performers are cued by computer-‐generated on-‐screen visual prompts. The large projection during performance takes the place of the traditional paper score and guides the performers in their playing. Also, live, instantaneous visual feedback of each player’s individual sonic output (pitch and amplitude) is displayed on the same screen. The system facilitates live, two-‐way musical communication between conductor/composer and performers. A large part of the purpose behind this work is to explore the possibilities afforded by this system. Live composition with a mid-‐sized ensemble is possible, as well as gaming/improvisation scenarios between performers with no composer/conductor necessary. The key innovations explored in noteScape are: the live, highly calibrated analysis of players’ sonic output, the instantaneous visual representation of that data on screen for performers and audience, and the use of that data in performance, improvisation, and/or composition schemes. en_US University of Oregon Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-US Intermedia Music Technology PureData GEM Future Music Oregon improvisation live composition noteScape Terminal Project

America's nonprofits have experienced increased demand for services and a simultaneous decrease in private giving. At the same time, public libraries have begun to see an influx of marginalized patrons, such as the homeless and mentally ill. The public library has always been a safe haven, where anyone can come to learn, socialize, and build community. This has especially been true for traditionally marginalized communities. In the current economic recession, nonprofit organizations have seen increased demand for services, as well as decreased resources. With the lack of resources from nonprofits, the library is often seen as a place of refuge. This research explores the relationships between library staff and these communities. Research questions include how library staff feel about these marginalized community members' presence in the library, what staff feel is the role of the library serving the larger Eugene community and in what ways the library may be changing in the face of new and increasing demands. en_US Department of Planning, Public Policy & Management, University of Oregon rights_reserved On the Public Library: How it can strengthen communities and serve those in need Other

Examining committee chair: Josephine Kuever Arts integration is a concept that has been prevalent in education for many years and has been shown to improve student learning, transference, and engagement. Opera guilds (organizations that supports an opera company, usually in a fundraising and educational capacity) with their educational missions and artistic knowledge, are positioned to be great facilitators for schools looking to integrate arts into their curriculum. Despite the prevalence of school programs offered by opera guilds, no research exists on how they are using the concept and practice of integration in their school programs, what the benefits of this model are, and whether the integration model is preferred over an arts exposure model. The outcome of this qualitative, casestudy research is a master’s project. en_US University of Oregon project;Arts and Administration Program, M.S.

Paralleling reductions in harvest levels, new resource management activities are beginning to emerge which may have the potential to replace parts of this lost economic driver. This report uses the Malheur National Forest as a case study for the opportunity of the new natural resource economy, which includes activities such as restoration, recreation and sustainable natural resource management. As many communities are still struggling to initiate and realize economic benefits, this research hopes to build capacity for communities, stakeholders and land managers to understand and measure the socio-economic effects of new land management activities. en_US Department of Planning, Public Policy & Management, University of Oregon Forest reserves -- Economic aspects -- Oregon Malheur National Forest (Or.)
