Bark River-Harris School recently had a bomb threat message left at the school. But as part of the TV6 News policy, we don't report on school bomb threats, as they don't always prove to be true.
Still, the school said they were ready, and the evacuation went as smoothly as possible. Now police are investigating the case.
But how prepared was the school for this kind of incident?
I think they were very well prepared, said Corporal Brian Helfert of the Menominee County Sheriff Department, "and that's because of a crisis response plan that's been implemented at the school, and also because of the numerous drills that've been held throughout the years. The students and the staff were very well organized that day."
Every year, the students practice six fire drills, two evacuation drills, and two tornado drills. And after the recent bomb threat, the students were evacuated to the Island Resort and Casino. Officials say it was a plan they had practiced before.
The school's procedure in the event of an emergency is to use the radio to get the word out there.
We send the same press release to some different radio stations in the Iron Mountain area and in the Escanaba area, explains Superintendent Jason Lockwood. And we rely heavily on the radio as our primary source of communication to parents."
But Lockwood said they are looking at improving their line of communication with parents. The school is looking into a cell phone-based program. It'll send mass text messages to parents who submit their numbers to the school. This will be a more efficient way to get in touch with parents who may not have access to radio broadcasts.

Haha this is awesome! Great detail and use of color.. gosh I love this.

Beautiful, kind of sad but sexy. Amazing pose and face!
beautiful lov da colorz
avery well done
Then again, even an artist can be wrong about their own work.
After all, Tchaikovsky hated the Nutcracker Suite which turned out to be the most popular thing that he ever wrote.
I think this is a great piece of work.

I love that movie. I thought of it when I saw this. this is like a creepier, more grown up version. it's great.
Wow... times 10!
I love your art
I love your art
This piece makes me think of the sci-fi work "Acorna" in which a unicorn girl is used as a prostitute for men with that specific fetish. Interesting book.
i know what you mean, once you start working with it, you feel like you are ruining the piece. i have the feeling all the time. I love the colouring, though, it all goes together very nicely
I love it~<3
a very cool piece!
I love this one.the colors-my colors ^^
Great pic, you never know what you'll find at a circus.
I love it. Very sexy.
You really dont do enough stuff like this, i mean art in general of this "genre". While I do appreciate the photos, your graphic art kicks mega ass.
Good work. In my experience with at least one artist, she said that one should not overwork something. With oil paints, one could simply create anew, but with other media, more is not always better. Actually, some artists, including the best ever known, have not ever been satisfied with a single work of theirs.
great work, wonderful shading and color
'The Last Unicorn' was the first thing I thought of when I saw this. Very nicely done. The detail is incredible.
I love it! Very amazing.
Wow. Very Very nice!

speaking for myself, I (momentarily) create myself--just as much as when I speak for others, I create their selves--in the sense that I create a public, discursive self, a self which is much more unified than any subjective experience can support. . . . The point is that a kind of representation occurs in all cases of speaking for, whether I am speaking for myself or others, that this representation is never a simple act of discovery.
Telling my own story (representing myself) when describing how I came to this research was not a "simple act of discovery," but a very challenging task, as was representing these women. I began to feel more comfortable about the issue of representation, as I recognized that meanings drawn from these representations were "plural and shifting" ( Alcoff, 1994, p. 291). I was still concerned about generating theory because I was afraid that the plural and shifting nature of the meanings I had drawn from these representations would be forgotten, or simply interpreted as "true" or "the way it is."
Trinh Minh-ha wrote of theoretical or academic writing or jargon that "to many men's ears. . . [it] is synonymous with 'profound,' serious,' 'substantial,' 'scientific,' 'consequential,' 'thoughtful,' or 'thought-engaging'" ( 1989, p. 41). I felt torn between the academic push to create grounded theory and the desire to allow women to speak for themselves without analysis or representation. I selected a safe middle ground.
I decided that I would engage in some analysis, such as looking at similar themes, points of contention, and points of contradiction. I feared the power of my words as I created my arguments because language is powerful. Trinh Minh-ha ( 1989, p. 49) captured the power of language by quoting a "wise Dogon man" from a "remote village of Africa" who: "used to say 'to be naked is to be speechless.' Power, as unveiled by numerous contemporary writings, has always inscribed itself in language. . . . And language is one of the most complex forms of subjugation." Recognizing the power of language to "subjugate" women, I challenged every assertion I made in my analysis and questioned what right I had to make it. This should be part of all research where one is representing or speaking for another.
The predominant reporting method in social science drug research has been a quantitative approach that has often statistically controlled for and essentialized aspects of one's complex social location such as gender, race, and social class by examining the differences among groups and making generalizations from these findings that frequently reinforce existing stereotypes. One way to break down the existing race, gender, and social class stereotypes that continue to be reinforced in the quantitative research literature is to listen to many diverse voices about how gender, race, and class are experienced in drug use and how aspects of social location are taken up by people when they construct meaning about drugs. Aspects of social location such as power, social class, and race were problematic in this project, making representation challenging but neces-

A Woman's Guide To The Waxing Unwanted Hair
It's tough to be beautiful. There's the curling, the scrubbing, the coloring, the endless work, toil and sweat. It can also be painful. What woman hasn't suffered from a too-hot curling iron or too-sharp razor? But at the top of the list we find waxing. An essential task, to be sure, but also dicey. You want to make sure it's done right, quickly and will be effective with a minimum of pain. Waxing is a relatively simply process, really. Think "wax on, wax off", and you'll likely get the idea. Hot wax is applied to the area that needs hair removal, then quickly pulled off and unwanted hairs go with the wax. It can be fairly painful, but the pain is quick and the wax process, fortunately, doesn't need to be repeated very often. Herewith are various types of waxes, from a lesser "ouch" factor to a mighty "ouch"! Eyebrow (ouch factor of 2) – Eyebrow waxing is a type of waxing you can do yourself at home, though it's never a bad idea to consult a professional. If you are going to wax your eyebrows yourself, you should always wax from below the eyebrow, not above.When you do the home improvement,you can buy the Tile waterproof and Security Doors.
Take very little hair off at a time, and be careful of the hot wax being so close to your face. Because the skin above the eye is so sensitive, it's really recommended you consult a professional for this task. Full Face (ouch factor 2) – This involves removing the facial hair you might have around the mouth, cheeks, jaw and chin. You can do this yourself, perhaps even make the wax yourself, but again, experts recommend using a professional since the facial skin is so delicate. Legs (ouch factor 3-4) – This is probably the method of waxing most women are familiar with. In the summer, many women choose leg waxing as the preferred method for hair removal since it is generally considered superior to shaving and saves time in those busy summer months – a good leg wax can last as long as 8 weeks. Bikini (ouch factor 8-10+) – The big daddy of waxing, the various types of bikini waxes are not for the faint of heart. They are for women who want clean, cool nether regions for summer, and aren't too modest, since they should only be done by a trained and experienced professional.

Is there an adapter available that would allow me to use a universal remote with the Ps3. I have the logitech harmony 360 remote and it works wonderfully with everything I have in my setup except the ps3. I don't want to buy another remote just for the ps3. I searched for PS3 infared and I couldn't find anything.

Andre of Black Nerd Comedy is a Nintendo Ambassador and fanboy. But he still loves PS3 and 360. However he constantly sees Xbox 360 / PS3 fanboys and "hardcore gamers" bash Nintendo and its new console the Wii U... a lot of them doing it without even trying it! So Black Nerd fights back in the name of Nintendo!

Tron legacy. For some reason I love that movie like a son. And sonic. I really love sonic. Don't know why.
i love the game fatal frame! but every time i say i like it, people are like 'you like fatal frame? man your a loser! you can't shoot anything and the only weapon you get is a silly camera, and who wants to play as 12 year old girl?' well i tell them graphics on it are about 20 times more appealing to look at then any FPS on the PS2 at the time, the music is beautiful and spooky, game play is fluent and i don't question the games logic every 5 seconds, and on the box it acutely says not to play the game alone! so yea i get how annoying people can get about games.
The Sonic series, particularly Sonic Generations. I try to explain to my friends why it's a good game, they just wave it off with "I hear it was really bad."
nintendo ftw
There is an old game for the PS2 called RAD: Robot Alchemic Drive. I personally believe that it was revolutionary with it's complex and direct control style. It may be a little slow but that's ok to me, I genually enjoyed it, and i'm the only one that I know that did enjoy it so much. No one else but one person ever really played it with me. I will always love Robot Alchemic Drive. Do some research and decide for yourselves.
this manor woman has the right idea
I am still going to wait until they come out with the Wii U lite, which will be less bulky, have a longer battery life, will be cheaper and will have more games to buy for it at that time.
You sir are absolutely right. Love it.
Final Fantasy XIII, I liked it when EVERYONE hated it
you. are. fucking. RADICAL.
You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but how did you become a Nintendo Ambassador?
Just curious, thanks. ;)
Third party peripherals?
Good rant, though the Wii-U still sucks because the game pad didn't have a fold out drink holder...
very good website:
===== http://www.globalmarket.name// =====
The website wholesale for many kinds of fashion shoes, like the nike, jordan, prada, also including the jeans, shirts, bags, hat and the decorations.
sonic fans ussually enjoy games that most ppl dislike. it gets my piss into a boil when i hear someone say that 3d sonic game suck ass. sonic adventure 1 did not suck ass, it was the return of an idol trying out new style that I think was pulled off ok. sonic adventure 2 didn't suck ass, with improved controls, graphic and a muchly improved chao system this battle getting to play as the villains, the only bad thing is trying to do the mission where you can't hit walls in the kart stages. sonic 06....... yeah that game got hella rush so it sucks major ass sonic unleashed does not suck ass. well at least the non hd versions don't all the annoying things ppl complained about in their fancy pants ps3 and xbox 360 versions are non exisistent here. sonic secret rings and black knight does not suck ass. They might not be super polished and definitely weak compared to the adventure games but hey it was very playable and not sonic 06 sonic colors does not suck ass. It took the funnest part of sonic unleashed and gave it power ups and i like the sound of that sonic generations, it mostly got good reviews but I get the angriest when ppl hate the modern stages. fuck your nostalgia trip the modern stages were fan fucking tastic as were the classic ones. This, THIS debate is what made me unsubscribe to game informer since this was their head-up-ass comment on my latest favorite game in the world
the only ones im missing are spin offs like fighters, r and shuffle, besides fighters the other 2 are reaaaaally bad but at least sonic R seems to be a guilty pleasure to some people
it's called dragon's dogma
OMG I loved this episode
My Little Pony: Friend Ship is magic..........enough said
Exactly, I'm no Nintendo hater (Own a Wii and 3DS), but I can't justify buying a console that has the same games as my 360 or PS3, albeit potentially slightly better looking. A WiiU is for the Nintendo hardcore for now.

Humanoid robot motions have been rapidly improving over the past two years. Regular readers of Robots Dreams have seen quite a few videos that illustrate the smooth motions that the new Kyosho MANOI AT01 can achieve.
It turns out that the AT01's close "cousin under-the-skin", the Kondo KHR-2HV is also able to produce very human like motions, as you can see from the video clip below.
While they use different servo models with different torques and a slightly different controller board, both the AT01 and the KHR-2HV take advantage of Kondo's second generation technology to make it possible to create more realistic movement.
With first generation designs, like the KHR-1 and the Hitec Robonova-1, the operator would define the desired position of any given servo in roughly one degree increments. Newer designs, that we arbitrarily refer to as 'second generation', allow the operator to define the desired servo position with much finer control - down to small fractions of a degree. This results in much better posture and positioning, as well as more stable walking and movement in general.
That doesn't imply that the servos can consistently be moved in tiny increments - physical limitations like inertia, gear train hysteresis, slack, and friction can never be ignored. However, if the servo is moving over a range of degrees, it is possible to control it's final position much more accurately and finer than any first generation controller/servo combination.
Here's a good example taken during a Kondo KHR-2HV demonstration at the ROBO-ONE 10 competition in Nagai:

Best Happy Hour (2011)
The Grapevine Bar
Yes, it's right across the street from the Dallas Observer office. But that it's within walking (OK, sprinting sometimes, after editorial staff meetings in which both infrastructure and the Trinity River project are discussed) distance accounts for only, oh, 60 percent or so of why it's our favorite happy hour. There's the newly added bar food, which even our food critic applauds. There's the colorful, cheerful and welcoming crowd of regulars, a mix that seems to be split pretty evenly between straight and LGBT. There's the outdoor basketball half-court. And there's the patio screen, great for game watching when you want to be part of a raucous crowd but can't stand bro-tastic sports bar crowds. But mostly it's the duration and discount of the drink specials. Wells are just $2, and almost everything else (excluding super-premium drinks — just ask your bartender) is $3, and happy hour runs from open to close Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the week, the specials last until 7 p.m.

- 2. Michael Hume – 8 Feb 2015, 3:09pm Report
I've been waiting for the right time to respond to the above review. Now that Beanscene has changed hands and I no longer work there or, for that matter, live in the St Andrews or the UK I feel it right to address "TCC's" comments.
Unlike the previous reviewer I'm not afraid to have my real name published as I don't feel the need to hide behind the anonymity of the internet to express my opinions.
I am the "Mike" that she refers in the review and I would like to correct some glaring errors and downright lies.
The lady in question represents a significant proportion of the customer base of many restaurants and cafes in St Andrews, and Britain in general. Full of opinions and their own highly regarded self worth they blindly go through life with little notion of self-criticism or a wider understanding of those people around them whose only job is to seemingly pick up after them.
The other side of this story is one of a woman whose husband, having ordered the wrong drink, and having their order repeated to them to confirm its' validity were too busy ignoring the peon behind the counter (i.e. me) to realise they had made a mistake.
The basic errors are the following
Don't quote someone's name when you don't know it (He was called Lewis)
Try and act like a human being and simply point the error rather than ranting and raving from the outset - we would have happily replaced the drink if you hadn't acted like such a spoilt child.
I have never, in my life, uttered the expression...... "What, have you never made a mistake, like?" - What I said was that I was sure that your husband had ordered a latte, to which you replied, and I quote,

Journal; Has Jerry Falwell Seen the Light?
By FRANK RICH
Published: November 6, 1999
By chance, the verdict in the Matthew Shepard murder trial was announced in Laramie, Wyo., on Wednesday just before my interview with the Rev. Jerry Falwell. He hadn't heard the news, so I told him of Aaron McKinney's conviction and asked his response. Mr. Falwell's reply was instantaneous. After saying that the ''horrific crime'' deserved ''the severest of punishments allowed by law,'' he volunteered: ''I could never accept 'gay panic' or any other excuse as grounds for what he did.''
What in God's name has gotten into Jerry Falwell? With this statement, he sided with the gay activists who had reviled Mr. McKinney's defense argument that Mr. Shepard invited his own slaughter by allegedly making sexual advances to his assailants. ''Gay panic'' is a hateful courtroom strategy -- last seen famously in the ''Jenny Jones'' murder trial -- but it's trotted out nonetheless by lawyers hoping to sway a homophobic juror or two. And Mr. Falwell, like the judge in Laramie, would have none of it.
Is this the same preacher who has reaped millions of dollars with fund-raising letters and Web site screeds decrying ''deviants'' who ''will stop at nothing, including violence''? Who has warned tirelessly of ''the radical homosexual onslaught of America''? Who pushed an advertising boycott of ''Ellen'' and outed a gay Teletubby?
Yes and no. ''I have been strident in my language,'' says Mr. Falwell of his record on the subject of homosexuality, but referred me to a Brill's Content article that had at least cleared him of outing the Teletubby. ''I'd never heard of Tinky Winky,'' he protested.
Still, Mr. Falwell now does own up to other, more serious fanning of anti-gay fires, and it was this seeming change of heart that led to our conversation. Two weekends ago his Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Va., was the setting for an anti-violence meeting between 200 of his flock and 200 gay civil rights advocates recruited nationwide by Soulforce, an ecumenical group based in Laguna Beach, Calif. The meeting came about thanks to one of those only-in-America stories that make this country eternally unpredictable. The founder of Soulforce, the Rev. Mel White, was the favorite ghostwriter of the religious right -- he wrote Mr. Falwell's autobiography as well as books for Pat Robertson and speeches for Oliver North -- until he declared his previously closeted homosexuality in 1991. Since then, Mr. White has become a campaigner for gay rights and has engaged in loud public battles with his former allies. But Mr. Falwell never entirely tuned his old friend out, and their continued contacts, however acrimonious at times, led to the conference in Lynchburg.
To make it happen, the two men agreed to disagree about Mr. Falwell's rock-ribbed conviction that homosexuality is a sin akin to alcoholism or drug addiction that can be reversed with spiritual treatment. While that view is regarded as repugnant by Mr. White and most gay Americans, Soulforce's delegation turned up in Lynchburg nonetheless with the hope that Mr. Falwell might tone down his most incendiary demagogy in the future.
No gay civil rights group I can find has officially applauded the conclave, and neither has any organization of religious conservatives. When I asked Mr. White if his former boss's olive branch might be opportunistic political positioning at a moment when the hard right is being disowned by the Republican front-runner, George W. Bush, he replied: ''I'm skeptical. How could you not be?'' But he believes that Mr. Falwell, ''for whatever reason, good or bad,'' is ''doing the right thing.'' He adds: ''I know this guy, and this guy is sincere, though he will blather about stupid things.'' Even during the Lynchburg weekend, Mr. Falwell couldn't resist offending his guests by endorsing a proselytizer for the ''ex-gay'' movement.
Yet it would be wrong to dismiss the conference as mere posturing. Mr. Falwell did break sharply with many religious-right ideologues, who had closed ranks after the Shepard murder to deny any link between the shrill gay-baiting pronouncements by their ''family'' organizations and a national rise in gay-bashing violence at a time when most violent crime is down. ''We acknowledge that words can lead to actions,'' Mr. Falwell said flatly to the Lynchburg gathering, speaking of the potential fallout of ''reckless and dangerous language.'' He vowed that he and his staff would vigilantly examine their ''characterizations and criticisms of the homosexual community'' to avoid any ''statements that can be construed as sanctioning hate or antagonism against homosexuals.''
He even put some distance between himself and a favorite semantic dodge of the religious right: ''Many of us pastors like to talk about loving the sinner but hating the sin,'' he said, but ''unfortunately, that statement has often become a meaningless cliche'' because ''we too often fall short of the mark of . . . truly loving the sinner.'' Expanding on this point in our conversation, Mr. Falwell said: ''Admittedly, evangelicals have not exhibited an ability to build a bond of friendship to the gay and lesbian community. We've said go somewhere else, we don't need you here [at] our churches.''

How to setup a buildslave for PyPy
First you will need to install the ``buildbot-slave`` package.
pip install buildbot_buildslave
The next step is to create a buildslave configuration file. Based on version
0.7.12 of buildbot you need to execute the following command.
buildbot create-slave BASEDIR MASTERHOST:PORT SLAVENAME PASSWORD
For PyPy the MASTERHOST currently is ``buildbot.pypy.org``. The
value for PORT is ``10407``.
SLAVENAME and PASSWORD can be freely chosen. These values need to be added to
the slaveinfo.py configuration file on the MASTERHOST, ask in the IRC channel
(#pypy on freenode.net) for the settings to be added. BASEDIR is a path to a
local directory that will be created to contain all the files will be used by
the buildslave.
Finally you will need to update the buildmaster configuration found in
bot2/pypybuildbot/master.py to associate the buildslave with one or more
builders. Builders define what tasks should be executed on the buildslave.
The changeset of revision 2f982db47d5d is a good place to start
(https://bitbucket.org/pypy/buildbot/changeset/2f982db47d5d). Once the changes
are commited the buildmaster on MASTERHOST needs to be updated and restared to
reflect the changes to the configuration.
To run the buildslave execute
First you will need to copy the file Makefile.sample to Makefile and
update it as necessary.
To start the buildslave just run
make start
and to stop it run
make stop

The stage is dark. The lights come up slowly, revealing a huge metal platform, with a trampoline stretched taut in the middle. Figures swathed in black fabric writhe on the floor beneath the platform, creating a vision of Dante's demons in hell. Others emerge above, wandering through a postapocalyptic environment crossed with platforms and rope bridges. The lights are shadowy, sinister, but retain a hint of coppery shine, suggesting the presence of some hidden optimism. The atmosphere is tense. And then the dancers begin to move. We are no longer in the Southern Theater in Minneapolis, but someplace else altogether.
That scene came from choreographer Robin Stiehm's City. Starting with the inspiration of Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, set designer Joseph Stanley, lighting designer Jeff Bartlett, and costume designer Lisa Powers built an environment that was not just a backdrop for the dancers, but a world all its own.
When it comes to dance and performance, the name at the top of the bill always belongs to the choreographer whose vision is played out onstage. It is this person who gets the credit for the realization of the piece, and whose work is analyzed by critics. But what defines the performance experience for the audience is often something intangible. It's the relationship between the performer and people you never see, but whose presence colors everything that happens onstage.
This article focuses on three people who shrug off the limitations of the cash-poor dance world to make any production look big-budget: Diane Waller, a multidisciplinary artist who uses her own sleight-of-eye talents to enhance the works of others; Kris Broderson, a lighting designer and stage manager who takes the show on the road; and Mary Hansmeyer, a costume designer who lives at her sewing machine during the busy dance season. They are fiercely talented, loyal to the artists they work with, and discreet as limo drivers when it comes to their secrets.
The choice to have a career behind the scenes in dance is one made out of passion for the process rather than the promise of a fat check. "It's about surrounding yourself with people you enjoy," says Hansmeyer. What happens onstage, after that, is gravy.
Diane Waller has a boxful of barbecue-grill tops in her downtown Minneapolis apartment. "They could make a great spider web sometime, all tied together," she observes. "But nobody has needed one yet." Waller will be ready, however, should the opportunity reveal itself. "You have to collect smartly," says the multidisciplinary artist, who also creates sets, films, animation, and graphic design for her colleagues. "But I have more than I need. I've been in the same space for 17 years. If I moved, I could have a great garage sale."
A life spent among found treasures, bolts of fabric, and "five big windows that just walked in here the other day" is one the Stanford-educated Waller has cultivated carefully. She's got a talent for revealing the creative possibilities in the most unlikely objects. "It's a scavenger hunt when you're on a low budget," she says, noting the cost limitations most choreographers face when mounting a production. "But your responsibility is to make things look good. You're constantly looking in reuse places, secondhand stores. You look for things that fulfill your function, not the function of the object. There's a lot of stuff out there that needs another use. But ultimately you want the thing to look like it was exactly made for that production, or at least you found a clever use for it. Interesting does not have to be expensive."
Waller, who is in her late 40s, is creating the design and projections for a revival of Zorongo Flamenco's 1987 Picasso-inspired work, Gernika, which opens March 14 at the Southern Theater. (See next week's City Pages for more on that show.) Her eye for detail is enhanced by her own experience in visual arts, film, and dance. Waller understands what performing artists require in order to communicate effectively from the stage because she shares their unspoken language. "I had always toyed with animation, and dance taught me more about animation," she explains. "I am interested in how you work with film images and dance, two kinetic forms that have infused my own work. And then other people started responding to what I was doing for them."
Graphic design has helped Waller pay the rent throughout her career, but it is also another way she shapes the image of the dance community. She is responsible for designing many of the postcards and flyers publicizing local dance seasons. "I look at promotion as the gateway to a performance," Waller explains. "It's how people get interested in what you do. The elements of the design are there to say what the piece is about. And they add a little bit of drama."
Dance productions can be complicated endeavors, but taking the show on the road requires the sort of preplanning and multitasking abilities Sir Ernest Shackleton might have admired. According to lighting designer and stage manager Kris Broderson, who has been touring with Danny Buraczeski's JAZZDANCE since 1996, there's "always a challenge to re-create as well--or in some situations even better"--what you've done at home. Easy enough, one might say, until you start adding in all the variables presented by a new venue: unknown conditions, outdated equipment, and extended time away from home. Plus, since money is always tight, one person usually must perform the job of many.
Broderson, like most of her colleagues who tour with dance companies, juggles at least three or four responsibilities every time she hits the road. She's the first one in the theater, and the last one out. Broderson, who earned her master's in lighting design from the University of Iowa, has been working in tech for ten years. When Broderson receives news that JAZZDANCE is going on tour, she contacts the venues and does advance work on lighting design, sound, and crew specifications. Once on site, she ensures the lights are rigged and focused correctly, and then calls light cues from backstage during the performance. "I make sure the space is set up appropriately for dancers," she says--a broad assignment that includes evaluating the dimensions of the stage, the type and quality of flooring, rehearsal room availability, dressing rooms, and the intangibles that can transform a fun night on the road into performance hell.
When challenges present themselves, Broderson taps into her own creativity and natural instincts to respond. While touring in Russia with Robin Stiehm's Dancing People Company, for example, she encountered an old manual lighting board, a far cry from the computers found in most modern theaters. Her colleague didn't speak English, but they each learned how to say the few words necessary to cue and run a show. On another occasion, during a stateside tour with Buraczeski, Broderson recalls, her radio-controlled headset went out, forcing her to make a mad sprint from backstage to the lighting booth in order to keep the cues coming.
Like many people on the technical side of dance, Broderson has an unflappable demeanor that complements her chosen career: Theater folk do not like surprises, so they plan for every contingency. When the inevitable shocker occurs--Broderson mentions a patron who died of cardiac arrest before the curtain of a JAZZDANCE performance in Ohio--they adapt. In that case, "it made for a hard show and an unresponsive audience," she says, with a technician's characteristic sense of understatement.
Mary Hansmeyer spent eight years in retail, working at stores like Ragstock and Casual Corner, throwing clothing selections over dressing-room doors and soothing customers' anxieties. When she returned to school at the University of Minnesota to concentrate on jazz vocals, she found a work-study job as a stitcher, which soon evolved into a theater degree and a love of costume design. Now Hansmeyer, at age 42, is one of the most sought-after costumers around town, with a client list that includes Zenon Dance Company, James Sewell Ballet, Shapiro & Smith, Robin Stiehm's Dancing People Company, Mathew Janczewski's Arena Dances, Ranee Ramaswamy's Ragamala Dance Theatre, and Danny Buraczeski's JAZZDANCE.
Hansmeyer's experience working the retail beat has served her well in her costuming career. "The main thing is that dance costumes throughout history have been motivated by fashion," she explains. One could also say the attention to detail cultivated in couture houses is shared by successful costume designers. Shape and line are critical. "When costumes are ill-fitting, you can't watch the dance," she says. "It totally takes away from the energy."
Hansmeyer laughs easily as she recalls some early career disasters, including her third collaboration with Buraczeski in 1993. "During dress rehearsal, the dancers couldn't raise their arms up very high, because the cap sleeves were cutting into their biceps. So I had to go shopping for a bunch of white tops. Then I dry-cleaned the black pants and they shrunk. I had to press the shit out of them. And the colors bled!" Buraczeski forgave the costume calamity and the two have worked together ever since. Nonetheless, such on-the-job disasters have left Hansmeyer extra cautious; she now puts her creations through rigorous trials in the laundry room. "I'm a huge safety queen," she says. "I wash everything twice in hot water then dry it on high to test for shrinkage."
Hansmeyer works closely with choreographers to find the right design. She observes the first weeks of rehearsal and is able to determine whether to use pants or dress styles, and what type of color, texture, and silhouette to employ. She then goes to the Minneapolis Public Library to draw inspiration from television and film. Next, she rifles through the fabric stock in the studio she keeps on the upper level of her duplex. Hansmeyer, who used to draw many of her designs, now finds that working one-on-one with the fabric and the artist is more effective. "Dance is a very visceral thing. Nine times out of ten a basic sketch doesn't register with choreographers. They need to see the real thing floating in front of their faces, to see the way the fabric clings to the thigh, the way it moves when an arm comes up," says Hansmeyer. "You put the fabric on their arm so they can feel its weight. That's very important."
Overall, Hansmeyer believes a simple approach is always best. "I don't want to take anything away from the dance," she explains. "I don't want to superimpose something else on the dance for my own gratification. I make sure the dancers are really comfortable inside my costumes." To that end Hansmeyer listens to dancer preferences, and she tailors costumes to suit individual ideas about body image. "If you put something on someone that they can't get past, it affects their performance," she observes.
While Hansmeyer helps determine how dozens of performers look in front of sizable crowds, she chuckles at the fact that she doesn't make her own clothes. In fact, it has taken her five years now to complete a coat for herself. "I'm a collaborator with the choreographer, I'm not an independent artist doing art clothing or wearable art where I can satisfy my own desires," she concludes. "I have to really listen. Sometimes I don't agree, but my name still goes on it."
