Culture Shock on KDPS 88.1

-
Bador: My name is Bador and with Lamar we are “Culture Shock” on KDPS 88.1. My full name is too long so you can call me Sumerian. I am originally from Baghdad, Iraq. I grew up there and experienced the war first hand. After my family got threatened I fled to Syria and lived there for two years. In 2008 I ended up coming to Iowa. Arabic cultures fascinate me but I am also looking forward to getting to know other cultures. Preferably I would like to have the opportunity to be an actress and travel the world; I also would love to work in television and radio whenever I have the opportunity to do so after I graduate from Grand View University. Nevertheless I appreciate all kinds of art as long as they are artistically well developed and not exaggerated. What interests me the most is how to reach a larger audience especially from other parts of the country and the world.Due to my heritage and experience I would say I am the perfect person to bring culture to our show. Our goal is to keep our show as interesting, unique, and different as possible every time we go on the air from 8:00 until 10:00 Thursday night. We are also interested to play foreign music and talk about the songs we have played during the show briefly with a short biography about the artist as well.






Lamar: I host the show “Culture Shock” on KDPS 88.1 with Bador. While Bador brings the culture, I consider myself bringing the shock. I am an international student from a country you probably haven’t heard of unless you've seen the movie “A Knight's Tale”. I was born and raised in the Principality of Liechtenstein until I moved to the corn loving state of Iowa in 2010. Nothing beats moving from the Alps into the middle of nowhere, especially when being a snowboarding - , mountain biking-, rock climbing - adrenaline junky like me. That was sarcasm for the one’s out there that didn't catch that. But I can’t say I don’t enjoy cow tipping, bow hunting and some weird invention called muddling. Next to the radio I work as an IT Specialist. My life goal is world domination but I had to put a halt on those plans since it turns out it would get expensive. My other hobbies are procrastinating homework and being awe- wait for it- some. My sense of humor is probably considered dry and mordant so don’t take it personal if I am not going with the flow.

So, I decided to share with all my followers and readers here on my blog some of the interesting plays I have enjoyed reading and reflecting about through the fall semester of 2013. I will be sharing some of my writings that I basically have done for my  Theater  classes, in which I enjoyed taking the most since the first days I started going to college. And with all  pleasure, here's one of my most favorite plays that I pretty much enjoyed reading about through this semester. So, I hope you guys enjoy reading it or even get an idea of the play's theme, climax and plot and also if you find it really interesting you might consider searching for the play itself and start reading it and by then you will see realize why I consider it as one of the most favorite plays I have ever enjoyed reading , back when I had to study it in my theater literature class .  Happy reading :)  The Rising of The Moon By Lady Gregory: It is one of Lady Gregory’s shortest bu

The Rough Theatre

“The Rough theatre is something more experimental”. This means that we already have moved into a different type of theatre that Peter Brook has guided us into it from his book “The Empty Space”. In better words, this is a simpler form of theatre than the ones we studied before such as the deadly thatre and the holly theatre, what makes the rough theatre different than the obvious theatres is that “through the ages it has taken many forms, and there is only one factor that they all have in commonness--- a roughness”.   I would rather call it a vivid, noisy, lively, flexible, and very creative theatre.  You can touch and feel the real meaning of owning the space “The Stage” and being all comfortable with any new, quick changes in terms of plays, directors, and the actors themselves are more free with their expreissions but noticebly they are not limited as how we examined in the first two chapters.  In this type of theatres, you can easily see it’s not a complicated space

The Deadly Theatre

After reading and highlighting the important key  elements  of the “Empty Space” as how it’s referd on the book that was written by the author Peter Brook, I was bale to draw out an idea of what’s the definition of an empty space and  calling  it a bare stage as how it was mentioned in the text.  Then he  splinted  the word into four ways and distinguished what are the four different kinds of theatre. These types of theatre are: Deadly Theatre, a Holy Theatre, a Rough Theatre, and the fourth one was the an Immediate Theatre. In this chapter Peter Brook was to deliver a powerful indictment of deadly  theater  for us. In better words, he was able to identify and explain with such a  detailed  relevant sequence what is deadly theatre in terms of performances that are dull and boring, providing no transcendental experience or immediate encounter with truth and beauty. In his book, Brook has focused on several reasons why deadly  theater  happens and why it persists; and while I
