Perspectives - One Giant Leap
by Trey Watkins.
Blocks sized from about 6 inches high (the "A" in Giant) to about 10 feet high (the "G" in Giant) - There were actually 4 partial messages spelled out in blocks, which were viewed from chairs in separate viewing positions. The complete message read "One Small Step for Burning Man, One Giant Leap for Mankind," however, " "Burning Man" was not spelled out. Instead, the viewer looked through an outline of a block and saw "The Man" on his tower.
"Perspectives" is a series of free conversations with DCPA Theatre Company cast and crew on the evening of each show's first preview performance (except A Christmas Carol). On Sept. 30, DCPA Senior Arts Journalist John Moore was joined by 10 members of the Frankenstein team, including Sam Buntrock (director), Kevin Copenhaver (costumes), Jason Sherwood (scenic design), Kevin Tovar (lighting), Curtis Craig (sound), Topher Blair (projections) and actors Max Woertendyke,

This picture is from the cattle's perspective. Imagine being herded out of your pasture, and onto a trailer, and then brought to this strange place with strange sights and lights and smells and sounds. It has to be an eerie experience.
I love standing and looking out over the water...the awesome massiveness of it helps to put things in perspective for me.
Now that I am home and have internet I have a lot of catching up to do.

“The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”
― Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time
The students and teachers of Perspectives Middle Academy (located in Auburn Gresham) are making tremendous academic and social emotional learning growth. Just this past year SY 2013-2014, they made almost two (2) grade levels of growth in both math and reading.

NMC Campus hosted the main grid audience for Henry Jenkins' visit to Global Kids Island on the Teen Grid (see event details).
Participants here were able to listen to Henry's comments and the dance music in between. On display were rotating images of Jenkins in Second Life and snapshots of the Global Kids A World Fit For Children.

On Friday, June 5, 2015, nearly 3,000 Perspectives students, family members, staff, and community leaders held one of the largest student-led peace marches in the city's history. Groups came out to join the march from schools, churches, and businesses in Chicago, the suburbs, and cities from throughout the country.
Our students' voices are being heard: the march was featured on dozens of news outlets including Fox32, ABC7, CBS2, WGNTV, Univision Chicago and WBEZ Morning Shift...
We also had dozens of local leaders standing for peace with our students. Mayor Rahm Emanuel kicked off the peace march at 24th and speakers at our Peace Jam following the march included:
Razia, Janeya, & Maurice and Perspectives students and alumni
Tom Wilson, chairman and CEO of Allstate
Alderman Pat Dowell, 3rd Ward alderman
State Rep. Ken Dunkin, 5th District representative
Pastor James Meeks, Salem Baptist Church
Pastor Charles Jenkins, Fellowship Chicago
Matt McGill, WVON Radio Personality
FM Supreme, humanitarian rap artist
The march would not have been possible without the support of AAR Corp. chairman and CEO David Storch and Rags of Honor, who provided the "I Am For Peace" t-shirts for all 3,000 marchers, and Ice Mountain Water, which provided 3,000 bottles of water the marchers.
Thank you to everyone who came out to march with us, and to everyone in the Perspectives family who is standing for peace. Together, we can create a more peaceful Chicago--and a more peaceful world!

t very obvious is be in aww of the surroundings in such a surreal place but sometimes a curious mind can get you some neat perspectives… lucky me that I observed this frame…
This is my nephew. He was adopted from Haiti in 2006. He has become a treasured part of our family.
I've been thinking a lot about him and the place where he came from these past few days. Wondering why our family got so lucky. Wondering why so many others are now left to grieve. I don't understand life sometimes. These past few days have brought on a sense of perspective I fear is fleeting. These events always seem to bring a flare of clarity that is encompassed in brevity. Which I also grieve for.
That we could all remember what is important in life. And find the way and the time to throw a hug on it. And keep it dear. That is the perspective I wish I always had. That we always had.
