Theatre 1 Little Big FamilyBy: Jacqueline FisherFebruary 18, 2011Inspired by the Greek system, the Theatre Department at Ithaca College follows the big brother or sister system. This system develops a family tree as seniors or Big adopt freshman as their Little. The sophomores and juniors become apart of their own family once their Big graduates. "One of the traditions is much like a fraternity and sorority because we do not have any on campus. We have Big and Little," said Senior Jason Barrera.The Theatre Department has similar qualities as fraternities and sororities but they are not the same.Freshman Drew Weinstein stated that they have their own houses off campus. "We try to be exclusive. We do not haze but if you declare yourself to be someone who likes to drink, you will get messed up. So it is kind of like a fraternity honestly," said Weinstein."The different groups, sports, and theatre create their own houses but it just happens to be the entire theatre department but within it there are different clics and since I didnt have that click I didnt belong," said Sophomore Sarah Perry. According to Barrera, seniors pick out a freshman at the beginning of the semester. They find their Big at the first department meeting called the Loud Meeting. Freshman have to introduce themselves in front of the entire department and then a senior stands up and says You Are My Little."I remember walking into the Loud Meeting and thinking these people were really insane or really drunk but I think they were just really insane and really excited. They started cheering FRESHMAN, FRESHMAN, FRESHMAN, which is really funny because in high school it is all about Seniors, Seniors, Seniors and this was about us and that was weird," said Barrera. Senior Alex Smith said, it gives freshman the opportunity to meet with people right off the bat and they are only there to guide you through the first year college experience. "To show you how not to kill yourself, somebody to get you alcohol, somebody to drive you around, to have somebody to go to for whatever you need," said Smith.Smith believes the family is just a larger social structure. It is a cast of people, if you do not really connect with your Big."They set it up like we are one big family no matter what, we have your back, if you do not want us around you do not always have to be with us but we are always there for you," said Weinstein.It is a great system but with every system there are holes. Everyone is very clicky and if the Big does not care about the Little then they just fade into the background. "No one will actually admit to purposefully excluding people from the department. I feel if you really try to find a group within the department to get along with, you will find one," said Smith.At the end of the year, Freshman put on a performance at Sherry Party for the seniors."They talk about everything we have done, all the projects we have worked on, they make caricatures of us, sometimes make fun of us, it is really funny and very heart warming and it is a wonderful farewell and good luck," said Barrera. "We are not as crazy as we seem, we just have a lot of fun. Going to a place where you are surrounded sometimes by hundreds of people that all do the same thing is really really priceless," said Barrera.

Theatre 2 The Good, Bad and Ugly By: Jacqueline Fisher March 11, 2011As students walk through the dark halls of Dillingham or the theater department at Ithaca College, they find that it has positive and negative aspects. Every student has a voice worth hearing. Ithaca College students have reasons for choosing this school. After being shown around the theater department by the Lee Byron, chair of the department, freshman Drew Weinstein said, "I auditioned for a lot of other schools and he was like this is our place and this is why you should go and he was very real about it. He gave off the impression of this is what I think and if you do not like it oh well." Weinstein said that he was given the impression that the school wanted him only if he wanted them and not because it meant numbers.The theater department has been known for being an exclusive department. They call all students outside the department non-majors. Many non-majors rarely socialize with them because they never see theater students leave Dillingham."I introduced myself and major and the other person was like really? I did not realize they existed out of Dillingham," said Weinstein.Not every student agrees with Weinstein."If you come in from another department and do not really know anyone you kind of become an outsider," said sophomore Sarah Perry.Weinstein said that there are people left out of the department but they made that choice on their own. Some students transfer into the theater department while others become double majors and become a part of the department that way. Perry said that these students stop talking to their friends outside of the department but get pulled in and accepted immediately by theater students. "I did the opposite and went to my friends but was never pulled into the department," said Perry.Commitments are a huge part of becoming a part of a college community. "If you join a sport, fraternity or group like theater you are going to have to choose between them and your friends," said Perry.Students very involved in the department have more good than bad to say about it but everyone can find something they do not like about their school when students spend as much time as they do in it."Everyone is kind of way into themselves. It is not egotistical or sarcastic but it is not like they are different from most people but they are," said Smith.Weinstein said he has a hard time saying negative things about the department. "I am not one of those people too involved in it because it is crazy. I am not much for rumors. I am not a gossipy person. They really thrive on a lot of that stuff," said Weinstein."The theater department is very cliquey. In all departments when you do not feel welcome you know it but the theater department is very dramatic about it. Only dramatic people like it," said Smith.While talking to theater students, I found that they were very passionate about the department and thought very highly of it. "I like the thought that there really are a lot of people that care about you and want you to be happy and succeed," said Weinstein."The faculty just really embrace and allows us to maintain that really welcoming and creative environment," said Jason Barrera. These students do not think that the rest of the school understands exactly why they are the way they are and why they act the way they do."There are people in it that really really enjoy delving so far into the characters," said Smith. "There are people really involved and people partially involved but if you ask for help they will be there and overall it is a great program," said Weinstein.

Theatre 3 In the EndBy: Jacqueline FisherApril 16, 2011Imagine graduating from the Ithaca College theater department and no longer walking through those long dark halls. Imagine being a successful actor and letting life take you away to a new, better place, where you are paid to do what you love and are passionate about it. Now imagine graduating and everything falling apart and almost nothing happening that you had dreamed about since you were a freshman in college. The economy, in this day and age, can send some students to follow their career path after graduation with a job related to their degree. Others will find themselves working at jobs that do not have anything to do with their major. Kevin Kehoe graduated from Ithaca College in 2010 with a bachelor of arts in drama and a concentration in theater arts. Originally from Burlington, Vt., Kehoe decided theater was not the career path for him. Kehoe moved back there after graduating from Ithaca College. He applied for sales positions at State Farm and Enterprise. Then with little help from the department, both jobs fell through. He ended up finding a job in sales at a hotel and is now working in a hospital, in the patient support services. "Coming in as a freshman I had these stars in my eyes and I was like oh I am going to make it but where do I start? It was great. It was a very unique experience. To be able to see the amount of talent just kind of gave me this drive to succeed," said Kehoe.After not getting into the plays that he hoped for, Kehoe had to remove those stars in his eyes to find something that he could do with his life that made him happy. "Coming into my senior year I was actually kind of looking more into business and sales and customer service. It helped me grow up and take the stars out of my eyes from when I came in as a freshman. I was able to mature and accept what I wanted and I loved theater but I just did not have the desire to pursue it as a career," said Kehoe. After spending a lot of time with a major, students sometime realize that is not how they want to spend the rest of their life."What made me change was kind of a realization that there are a lot of people that want to make it in acting and I will still do it. I am still auditioning for shows. Actually, there is a really popular theater up by me. I am still able to put my major to work for me and I am kind of using my work experience also as a base to make myself known. With a theater degree it is a little tuff but you can kind of go into a job interview and really make it work," said Kehoe.Senior Alex Smith, graduating in May 2011, started off getting a degree in bachelor of fine arts with a major in tech design. After his sophomore year, he realized that the department did not teach his style of learning and he was not fit for the department. He then switched to bachelor of arts in drama with a strong interest in lighting design. Ithaca College strives on helping students find a job after school but, what they do not realize is some students have not figured out exactly what that job should be. "Honestly I have no idea what kind of job I want. College has not done a good job at teaching me what I want to do but it has done a good job of what I need to know when I go out into the real world," said Smith. Ithaca College students spend a lot of their time and money in four years and the question at hand is always weather or not it was worth it. "I do not regret it. It gave me a great base to start from. If the career track I have right now does not work out, in the end, I can always say you know I have this acting background. So why not throw myself into the fire and do it?," said Kehoe.Ronica Reddick started off as an exploratory major and graduated with a bachelors of fine arts in acting. After graduation, she stayed in NY and worked for a theatre company that was made up of students that she went to school with and built up a body of work. Reddick now works for the top regional theaters. "I would say its a long flow of lines sometimes but thats just the nature of the business," said Reddick. Theater students at Ithaca College spend so much of their time working on plays and class work. When it comes down to graduation time and finding a job, the theater department should make it easier. "All in all, yeah, I will definitely say it was worth it because it gave me a unique education and I think it really helped me grow as a person. About 5 years ago, I think I was a little more immature than I am now and I was able to finally find my place in the world," said Kehoe.Sources Kevin Kehoe Ronica Reddick Alex Smith 802-825-1717 508-525-0871 443-525-0871 Email: asmith1_ithaca.edu

Smoke Tricks

Smoke tricks is a project I started working on in February 2011, during my photo workshop class. I came across this idea when I met Daniel Ackley Jr. and his hookah. I had never heard of smoke tricks before but this is actually considered a hoby for many people. Smoke bubles and rings are the favorites of the tricks but they also include exhaling smoke into containers. The way smoke can stay in one place or dissipate instantly facinates me and constantly kept me on my toes. In order to shoot this project, I had to set up a studio in my room because smoking was not permitted in the studio I had access to.
