From alp4 at williams.edu Sat Nov 2 15:19:05 2019 From: alp4 at williams.edu (Passannante, Anna) Date: Sat, 2 Nov 2019 15:19:05 -0400 Subject: [Ephlats] Words from Meg in advance of Sunday Message-ID: Hey guys, We have been communicating back and forth with Meg in regards to our Sunday discussion, and she would like for all of you to read this email from her. If possible, please take some time *today* to read her email and watch the video embedded in it. We understand that for many of us this has been a trying week, but this is only intended to aid our reflection in advance of our group discussion. Again, as always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns, or if you just need to word vomit for a while. As hard as this week has been for many of us, I have been comforted by how much we are supporting and listening to each other. Please continue to reach out to each other (or me) as needed! Best, AP ------------ Dear Ephlats, I wanted to thank you for inviting me to hold space for your conversations with each other about respect, accountability, and safety within your group. *Why are we spending time doing this? *The catalyst for this conversation is one specific incident of harm, and other harm and relationship damage that has rippled out from that. I understand, from listening deeply to many of you, that the order of operations of this conversation or the very fact of it feels insufficient or wrongly-timed in the face of those wounds. I want to offer a framework of accountability for our conversation. This video, What are obstacles to accountability ? is about 11 minutes long, and it is a collection of people whose wisdom and work I find deeply compelling. If you watch the video, you don't have to read the next paragraph :o) What it is suggesting to us is that we do not have the "muscles" or the structures in place that we need for genuine accountability for or prevention of harm of all kinds. We are engaged in a lot of practices that are not offering acknowledgement, healing, or any meaningful increase in safety or decrease in future harm. This group contains within it the resilience, abundance, and relationship strength for transformation, and we need to do some hard work together to build something that doesn't exist yet, except perhaps in our deepest desires and imaginations. We are spending this time together *because* this group, what you want for each other, how you show up together, and what you want to build is important enough to give each other time and presence. *What are we actually going to be talking about? *I'm posing the following questions to you to consider individually and together: what does safety in this group mean to you in this group? What does respect mean to you in this group? What does accountability to one another mean to you in this group? How do these feel internally (that is, within yourself)? What does it look like and sound like when it is being practiced or when we are moving toward it? Between now and tomorrow evening, make some out-breath space for yourself so you can marinate or meditate on those questions. You don't need to prepare anything, just sit (or walk, or listen to music) with them. *What happens after we talk about this? *I don't know. It's important to say that because we haven't had a chance to talk together yet, and we are not coming together with a final end point in mind that we need to backbuild a path to with our words. My hope is that by saying that this conversation is for convening, for vulnerable communication, for the speaking of collective values, that you will be able to have some breathing room to just show up, speak from your heart, and hear from one another, and from that, use the group's values as a wayfinder to practices and generative change that are in alignment with the things you most value as a community together. This conversation is not the endpoint of your work together: accountability is a process, not an action, and this conversation informs your work of accountability to one another, it's not the totality of it. Thank you, truly, for making the space to build together and for including me in that. Warmly, Meg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Do you know what that means? Our show is in ELEVEN DAYS. T-11 days until 11/22/19, at 8pm. *I* didn't even realize that until just now. The upcoming doom means that we need to get started on assigning roles for the show! And do I have news for you. Yes, you. You with the face. *We. Want. You.* If you are interested in being an actor for the show, directed by Yours Truly and the incomparable Owen Foster, PLEASE respond to this email with *your name*, *your interest in acting* (namely, how interested are you in acting? Do you want to be in a ton of sketches? Just one? You pick!), and *your favorite character from the Suite Life of Zack and Cody* (optional). Preparation for the fall show will consist of: - At least ONE read through the week before the show (this week most likely) - Rehearsals each night of the week of the show (11/18-11/21) - One full run-through on the Thursday before the show - Show prep the afternoon before the show (~4pm) Rehearsals will be staggered, so you do NOT have to come for the entire rehearsal period; I will be making a schedule of blocks of time for us to rehearse each sketch. Again, if you are interested AT ALL in being a part of the Fall PAC show, email me at ijw1 at williams.edu! No auditions necessary, we want to see ALL of your faces on the big stage. Keep a smile in your face and a song in your heart, The powers that be (Melia, the recently-turned-19-legend), and also Isaac (also 19) [image: image.png] _______________________________________________ PAC mailing list PAC at wso.williams.edu http://wso.williams.edu/mailman/listinfo/pac_wso.williams.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Hi friends, Here is the arrangement for Are You Gonna Be My Girl. Some notes: - The solo is not entirely correct with how the soloist from the cover does it (sorry I can?t do rhythms) - it?s mainly just there so you know where you are in relation to the solo (i.e. you can ignore it) - The dynamics in the beginning and the end (?doo-we?) are supposed to be like swells. Hit the ?doos? and then get quiet and then crescendo into the ?we,? if that makes sense. - In the original cover, they do ?hoo? instead of ?doo? for the swells - you can try both and see what sounds better - For the most part, dynamics are notated above the soprano line. Anything else will be notated in your part (I think this only applies to basses). - Because I put all the dynamics in the sop part, when you play the musescore it sounds whack (with sops louder/quieter than everyone else), please ignore that lol - When it switches tempos - I left blank measures for Ruthie to do her little solo things. Conductor should just bring everyone in when Ruthie is finished. You?ll probably have to practice Ruthie?s ?1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4? until it works with conductor bringing everyone in (if you listen to the cover, it?s almost like the soloist brings everyone else in). - The five part split in the females - do this however you want, I just wrote it in the score the way that looked the nicest - Last measure - listen to the divisi cover and you?ll understand how I want this. It should slow down and every note should be cued by conductor (or if you have a better way go for it)If you have questions just ask me. Also if you have better ideas than mine go for it!! Have funnnn :) I can?t wait to hear it If you have questions just ask me. Also if you have better ideas than mine go for it!! Have funnnn :) I can?t wait to hear it!

One of the many juniors abroad who fears being forgotten. In this desperate bid to stay topical, I have started planning and curating a ~vision~ for my favorite event of the year: our formal. #1 Coveted Formal invitation since established in 2015 (someone lmk what the real date is). Like deadass, this thing is so fun and people are always pleasantly surprised with our ability to strike a balance between wholesome and raunchy energy. I hope that provides enough of a picture for the babes. If you care to I would love something of all of you: 1. Fill out this doodle poll and pick out the days you might fancy or work best for those of you not on campus. Keep in mind this is WS so weeknights are fair game! Woohoo! Big State School Energy! https://doodle.com/poll/incm4md8mwwcy4f9 2. Fill out *this* google form to share any input or ideas you may have. None of the questions are required so literally if you decide to just fill out the multiple choice questions that would be dope. And for our newcomers feel free to skip out on qs that speak to the ghosts of formals past. Or not! Whatever you jive with. And literally say *whatever* you want--this form is completely anon. I don't want this to be just my vision but all of our visions. :,,) https://forms.gle/gXefPm43d6VAPTiQ9 I'm sorry this email is a bit haphazard and most likely makes little sense. It's almost 3 am here and I'm a bit off my rocker more than usual. Please reach out to me if anything is unclear or if you just wanna shoot the shit. Anywhomst, I'm so excited to see all of you come January but particularly the newbies in our group I'll forcibly make befriend me. Cheers, Afoma -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
