... a style of theatre in which the actors do not memorize their lines. Rather, they either go through their blocking holding scripts and reading off their lines, or else sit/stand together on a stage and read through the script together. In Reader's theatre, actors use vocal expression to help the audience understand the story rather than visual storytelling such as sets, costumes, and intricate blocking.

... keyboard rambling cyberspace from my corner of #Mountainair. Posting it, just not in the usual "post mode." Whatever that might be: I'm not sure anymore, but it promotes more procrastination than posting. Primary is June 5 but early voting sites are already open. Not at all too early to start reading up on candidates and issues to make an informed decision. Announcements posted a NM election fundraiser as a public service: we'll post yours too: it's a public service ~ no endorsement implied. There, not here. No rhetorical excesses allowed. I'm working on general guide for the electorally perplexed. In the meantime, here's the Alibi's Primary Election Guide, a handy key to NM June ballot
The School for Advanced Research, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was established in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1907 as a center for the study of the archaeology and ethnology of the American Southwest. Since 1967, the scope of the School’s activities has embraced a global perspective through programs to encourage advanced scholarship in anthropology and related social science disciplines and the humanities, and to facilitate the work of Native American scholars and artists.SAR—IARC Speaker Series: Documenting Collections and Artists

Anna King, Anna.King@jangomail.com, of Just Imagine Gallery, announces Opening Weekend for the Tijeras Arts Market.... also on Facebook... late announcing (and can't find the graphic I wanted) but it's open today until 5pm, and then every weekend through October.
Mountainair Farm & Garden opening day, 9am-1pm or until sold out. Several unnamed vendors have reported in that they will have starter plants for sale. Baked goods, more than one source. No WIC as advertised on fliers or updated on the market Fb page (but posted as comment to Mountainair Online ~ go figure). Follow up reports tend to the skimpy. We invite vendors and shoppers to send opening day reports to vanessa.vaile@yahoo.com
Today is a Mountainair Community Garden workday too, 10am-1pm. Someone will also be at the market, probably (although not specified) Addie Draper as she is a vendor, with fliers and information on garden projects (perhaps some not sent here to post and share). Planting, watering system, herb garden. Complete report did not arrive in time to blog but will appear in entirety (plus links) on the iCreate page. If you have pictures of the ongoing Garden Sculpture project at the same location, please send them.
Local writing group, Manzano Mountain Scribes, meets today at Alpine Alley, 10am-12n (approx). No description of today's program has been posted. The Scribe Facebook group (link above) also meets online 24/7.How do humans fuel the metabolic demands of our big brains, high reproductive rates, and long lifespans? New measurements of daily energy expenditure among human hunter-gatherers and our closest relatives, the great apes, suggest that our lineage has evolved greater energy throughput to accomplish these tasks. These studies shed light on the ecological evolution of our species, as well as the current global obesity pandemic.
Energy is the fundamental currency of life, needed for growth, reproduction, and repair. Understanding how species use energy is therefore fundamental to understanding their ecological and evolutionary strategies. Our lab investigates energy use in humans and other primates, especially apes, using doubly labeled water, respirometry, and other direct meaures of energy use. The goal is to understand how human and ape metabolic strategies evolved.
