Companion ActThis act happens before the show starts. Riley asks early arrivals in the audience if they would like to have one thing to hold onto during the show, like a teddy bear or a balloon. She creates a bubble shaped like each item, delivering them personally.“Tribute to places travelled” ActThis act is done during the light of evening. Riley dances with her bubble staff in hand, her flowing movement producing colorful bubbles. Each part of the dance reflects the culture of places visited, and the bubbles producing from it each paint part of a bigger picture resembling the essence of said place – from the clear skies of the prairies,...

Those who have read the His Dark Materials trilogy of books will know that the world shown in it, while very similar to ours, differs in many ways. However, little has been done towards showing what this world looks like. Entire regions of lands are renamed, but there is little indication as to where these regions are. The short story "Lyra's Oxford", includes with the story a list of place maps available in Lyra's world, and this is the main source of information we have about the locations, save for brief mentions in the books of the main series, and a map of the world in the movie adaptation of the Golden Compass.Most, if not all of the...

15.1 (expanded by Filraen) Rainbow Dash awoke lying down in a cloud over Ponyville. The sun was warm and the wind soft so instead of checking through her loop memories, apparently too much work for now, she lazily decided to check which other ponies were Awake. Feeling the connection to the Element of Loyalty she realized everypony was- Pain. Sorrow. Hurt. Desolation. Grief. One of her friends was in pain. It couldn't be a physical feeling, because no physical injury would hurt so deeply or cause sadness so deep. One of her friends needed her. The response from the Element of Loyalty was as automatic as breathing: making a Sonic Rainboo...

“Actors… I don’t like actors. It’s a profession based on lies and disrespect . Pretending to be what you are not.” -Emperor Augustus Caesar in conversation with the actor Lycius as transcribed by Neil GaimanAcross the pond at the turn of the sixteenth century, there was a writer by the name of William Shakespeare. This writer was known throughout the land for tales of love, tragedy, and royalty. One such play, which we’ll be discussing in this humble paper, was known as Hamlet. It was the tale of a young prince whose father had recently died under strange but seemingly natural circumstances. However, there were some dubious details su...

© 2011 Marvin E. Fuller       "Sounds like they're still going at it," Marty leered at Dilly.  In response, his wife merely stuck her tongue out at him.       Baksrit shut them out of her mind as she set her pack onto the spare bed the rabbits lent her, once used by one of their older kits before he had moved out on his own.  She took off her bonnet and tossed it beside the pack.  Perhaps someday she might be able to afford a hooded cloak that didn't feel like it was clutching the back of her head.  Until then, she would need the bonnet so as to have a base for her protective wards.       "You're the Wizard Solomon's apprentice, right?" Fa...

In political theory, Marxism is a radical brand of socialism stemming from its namesake, Karl Marx. Marxism is now a now long established in academia as a branch of critical theory, where it serves as a broad school of thought best suited to reading the social, economic, political, and historical contexts of texts in order to draw conclusions about both the period in which the text was produced and the text itself. Marxist film theory attempts to extend critical and political Marxist practices into cinema. The Marxist film critic’s aim is to highlight and criticise the ideological problems within films (typically the standard Hollywood cin...

It was something that could not be emulated, no matter how they tried. It could not be altered, manipulated or destroyed. It was an extraordinary thing, with no connection to his genome or his brain chemistry. It resided within  him, a symbiotic entity that served to protect him and keep him safe. The more they tortured him, the more they sought it, the stronger it became. They found they could amplify and measure it, if they inflicted sufficient pain upon his mind and body. This they did often, until it began to alter his consciousness. This excited them; it was strong, ever so strong, and it shared that strength when his life was in da...

Under normal circumstances this would've called for an occasion in which the Boss was deened unfit and wrong and his executives could make their moves on his power, however this was not a normal circumstance, nor was it an abnormal one. It was more of a peculiar example. True, the Boss had anticipated some sort of complication, but to what extent was anyone's guess. Even then he had anticipated that it would've been a subdued scenario, not a full on raid on that had transpired. Of course Giovanni gave credit when due and Archer would not doubt that the Boss would give compensation for his defense of the camp. With that off his checklist, h...

Hello, Spongey here.Just a few days ago, I posted part one of a special look at Disney Channel sticoms. I shared my most embarrassing secret...that I like them. But the show I was the most split on was none other than Hannah Montana.If you read my post on it, you know all about it. But to sum it up, it's Disney's most (in)famous sitcom about Miley Stewart, a normal  guy who happens to double as pop start Hannah Montana. Read that post, as I explain my complex relationship with it.It's a guilty pleasure, as usual. But one thing I didn't discuss was Miley Cyrus herself. She is one Disney's biggest stars...for the all the wrong. Even in her H...

David Thompson loved being part of the Warblers. He really did. A school sanctioned opportunity to burst into song, bust a move, and do what he loved with people he liked, and basically have a ball every day. Who wouldn't love that?And he genuinely liked the Warblers themselves. They were his best friends. And not the kind of best friends that passed each other in the hallways and played video games every other weekend. They were the kind who knew all the embarrassing rejection stories, who knew what chick flicks they all secretly cried at, who had absolutely no filter, who would be best men at each others' weddings, and would give speeche...

Midway upon their journey through Lyf (claimed to be the most barbarous section of the nation) Holo and Lawrence convened a calamitous conundrum.A wheel upon their cart, which bore their weight with double compense, due to poor maintenance, resigned itself to its end under its burden, most taxing.Began Holo "Doubtless, this was spurred of your volition. Notwithstanding my finding sit upon this cart, I, the exalted Holo of Yoitsu, the ill cloud that showers your fortune, was fain to bind me to your woe in conjunction."As doth a jester when his act fails him, and appeases not his auspice, Lawrence found defense in sycophanthy "Tis' but a bro...
