ÂThe
epartment o Theatre and ance at Southeast Missouri State University ta es the common phrase let s hit the round runnin a out as literally as you can without ma in actual oor to nuc le contact. ust two days into the semester, the department will hold auditions or three o the main-sta e and second-sta e productions ein presented in the all 2011 semester. Call ac s will ta e place the ollowin day, and the nal cast list will e posted that same ni ht. Rehearsals or the musical nto the oods will e in on Thursday o that same wee , and rehearsals will e in the ollowin wee or the production o amlet. Accordin to r. enn Stilson, pro essor and chair o the epartment o Theatre and ance, multiple shows are cast at one time ecause, with multiple ma ors in the department, the aculty does not allow the students to e in more than one show in the same semester. e try to nd the ri ht t or the roles or the di erent students, Stilson said. n other words, i the director o the musical wants a musical theater student as a lead and the director o the strai ht play wants that same student or a supportin role, the student will e cast as the lead in the musical. ut that e cludes auditions or all or ance, a per ormance that showcases various styles o dance includin tap, a and allet. Auditions or all or ance will ta e place the second wee o classes. The rst set o auditions will involve the students tryin to earn their spot in a piece choreo raphed y a dance aculty mem er. The second set o auditions will involve the students vyin or a role in a student-
“
We try to find the right fit for the roles for the different students Kenn Stilson choreo raphed piece. The aculty is there watchin , ind o overseein the auditions , ut instead o the aculty sittin at a ta le writin down student num ers and names and loo in at availa ility orms, it s the student choreo raphers that are ma in selections or whom they want in their piece , said Michelle Contrino, dance instructor and choreo rapher. r. Marc Strauss, pro essor o theatre and dance, said that a lot o students who decide to choreo raph a routine or the all dance concert already have the idea or their piece the previous school year. ust li e the aculty, the students are thin in way in advance and over the summer a out the inds o thin s they want to do, Strauss said. The preparation e ins early, not only or current mem ers o the department ut also or incomin reshman. Stilson said that a series o letters and e-mails are sent out each summer to all theatre and dance ma ors that e plains what everyone should have ready or auditions the rst wee o school. ith the addition o a out 15 incomin reshman into the department, Stilson said it will have appro imately 125 to 150 people at the rst audition.
udith arris, vocal director or the department, said that not only does she spend some o her summer months ettin the sylla us prepared and schedulin ready, she also travels to New or every month to teach her roadway clientele. eep my contacts there or the school s sa e and the student s and at some point, you never now, it could help you, arris said. Strauss also said that he steps out o southeast Missouri or the summer. e travels to Cape Cod most summers, with this summer ein a little di erent. Strauss has een writin two dance oo s that are due to come out later this year. e have a very heavy outside pro essional development e pectation o our students, meanin that we e pect our students to wor pro essionally in summer stoc s, summer reps, master classes and di erent thin s li e that, Stilson said. A ew e amples o the trainin and wor students have done over the summer include the American ance estival at u e University, Stella Adler Summer Conservatory in New or City and the Mc eod Summer layhouse in Car ondale, llinois. e have ot, in my opinion, as well as many others, one o the top under raduate pro essional trainin pro rams in the entire Midwest, Stilson said. hat that means to the eneral pu lic and the student eneral pu lic is that when they come to see our shows, they re oin to have a reat time and see some really ood theater and really ood dance. The department will ic o their all season with the Tony Award-winnin musical nto the oods at 7 30 p.m. on ednesday, Sept. 28 in the onald C. edell er ormance all at the River Campus.

What are the people at Residence Life looking forward to this fall ?
Katie Herring, worker at Res Life: “The most exciting thing that’s happening this semester once again we are near capacity in all of our residence halls. While most people in the office are stressed out about this, I think it’s exciting because it is more people that can help with the greatness that is Southeast. “
Priya Tauro, GA of Res Life: “I’m really excited for the upcoming year because there are 10 percent more students on this campus than there has ever been, and they are all excited for the next school year to start.”
Yasir Asari, GA of Res Life: “I’m excited
about all the new international students coming in because that’s the project that I am in charge of, and we have about 300 international students coming in and out of that 150 will stay on campus.”
Bruce Skinner, Director of Res Life: “The most exciting thing
probably is when the students arrive and we get to work with them because we do a lot of planning and waiting for them to get here, but when they get here it becomes real. Then, when they get here we get to help them with their roommate problems, how do I loft my bed, and all the other problems new students run into. It’s exciting to see them come back, one week from tomorrow [Aug. 17].”

ARROW new year, new look MORE INNOVATIONS TO COME IN PRINT AND ONLINE.
New Arrow look isn’t just a face-lift
The Arrow staff works on the first print edition of the semester in its new offices.

If you’re interested in joining the Arrow staff as a reporter, photographer, designer, videographer or copy editor, drop by the Arrow offices in Grauel 117 and 118 at 5 p.m. Wednesdays for the news meeting.
Southeast Missouri State University and Rust Communications, owners o Cape irardeau s Southeast Missourian, have entered into a new partnership. The result o this colla oration is an Arrow with many up rades, enhancements and shiny new ells and whistles. This paper has een completely redesi ned and now oasts more en a in pa es than ever e ore. ntire sections have een chan ed in order to create a more involved readin e perience or Southeast students. nstead o the same two editors writin opinion pieces every wee , now the Arrow will e delvin out into the community, as in students and residents what they thin o current events and the daily oin -ons o li e on campus and in the Cape irardeau area. The paper will also e wor in closely in con unction with RA 103.7, Southeast s student-run radio station. eople readin the Arrow will nd playlists, reports and updates pertainin to RA , and students tunin into the radio station will now hear stories rom the paper roadcast live. ne mainstay on the Arrow s pa es will e a This wee on RA , which will list the new son s that the radio station has ac uired. Also on the hori on is a similar colla oration with the T and ilm option. A ma or drivin orce o the new Arrow will e the increased ocus on online content. The entire ournalism pro ession is switchin to a more e- riendly environment. n the past, the
Arrow we site and the print edition were mere mirrors o each other. To eep ahead o the electronic curve, one o the Arrow s ocuses will e in creatin a uni ue and avor ul we e perience. The we site will evolve to a point where media such as sports podcasts, photo alleries, videos and news stories will e uploaded and updated daily. This does not mean, however, that the print edition o the Arrow is dyin , ar rom it. nstead, the wee ly paper will contain e clusive stories that students should not want to miss, as well as the est content that the last seven days had to o er. Another welcomed addition is to the Arrow s sta . Two mass media classes will now e re uired, as part o their respective courses, to contri ute to the paper throu h photos, video and written stories. This is the rst step o a course restructurin that will ultimately uide students to ecomin multimedia urus, trained in every ranch o ournalism, not ust written. ith all the chan es and redesi ns the Arrow is oin throu h, the power still rests in the hands o the students. The Arrow is still a student run newspaper, ust as it has een or over a century. Students are still in char e o 100 percent o the paper s production, rom the writin to the pa e desi nin . hile many aspects o the Arrow have een twea ed, the paper s oal still remains the same Serve and in orm the students. That s all we ve cared a out or over a century, and that will continue to e our mission.
