Описание: Characters: 2m, 3f / Historic/Docu Drama Passionate. Brilliant. Defiant. Tonight, 18th century scientific genius Emilie du Ch telet is back and determined to answer the question she died with: love or philosophy, head or heart? In this highly theatrical rediscovery of one of history's most intriguing women, Emilie defends her life and loves; and ends up with both a formula and a legacy that permeates history. "Gunderson possesses an antic imagination that seeks to invent its own rules. As soon as we're drawn in, she shakes us and whisks us 10 or 15 paces ahead." -Los Angeles Times "The ambitious, non-linear experiment is a highly theatrical romp that literally crackles with electricity." -LA/OC Examiner

Описание: Honestly the best science I’ve ever done and - frankly the best science in the history of humankind - has started with the same thought experiment: find the ways in which humanity thinks it is special… and assume that we’re not.
How do you plan for a catastrophe?
Virologist Nathan Wolfe, named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in the World for his work tracking viral pandemic outbreaks, proposed pandemic insurance years before the novel coronavirus outbreak. No one bought it.
Now, in a post-COVID world, we hear his story. A time-jumping tale based on the life and work of Nathan Wolfe (who also happens to be the playwright’s husband). Though not a play about COVID19, it is a true story of a pandemic expert. A deep dive into the profundities of scientific exploration and modern Judaism, the lengths one goes for love and family, the bracing truths of fatherhood and discovery, and the harrowing realities of facing your own mortality, The Catastrophist is also a story of a main character battling the story he’s in... and who is writing it.

Описание: Discover the power, resilience, and indomitable spirit of women who have shaped history.In her first collected works, Lauren Gunderson demonstrates why she has become one of America’s most produced playwrights. Weaving together the extraordinary stories of trailblazing women from various eras, Gunderson provides a unique and necessary perspective on modern American feminism, the beautiful humanism of science, and the power of the heartful heroine.Emilie: La Marquise Du Chatelet Defends Her Life Tonight: Passionate. Vivid. Defiant. Tonight, 18th-century scientific genius Emilie du Chatelet is back and determined to answer the question she died with: love or philosophy, head or heart? The Revolutionists: Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie-Antoinette, and Caribbean rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, lose their heads, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in the Paris of 1793. Ada and the Engine: It’s 1830 and fiery, brilliant, Ada Lovelace writes the first computer program for her friend and mentor Charles Babbage. They share a language of numbers, and imagine a world of computing machines. But only Ada dreams that those machines will make music. Silent Sky: The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt plays out against a landscape of fierce sisterly love, early feminism, paradigm shifting science, romance, revelation, and a time when humans were called “computers”. Natural Shocks: "To be or not to be" – In this one-woman tour-de-force, witty and wild Angela paces alone in her basement, waiting out an imminent tornado: in such a stark situation, it is only natural that secrets come out, confessions spill over, and a reckoning is about to touch down. Introduced and contextualized by dramaturg Julie Felise Dubiner, Revolutionary Women charts an unforgettable journey through time and place, celebrating and exploring the greatness of history’s women.

Описание: I have no answers. I have nothing but rage and sorrow. And so yes I built you because this is what I do. And honestly it’s not that hard, you’re basically a chatbot. Merril is one of Silicon Valley’s leading software engineers, but her life disintegrates when her younger sister Angie vanishes on her way home from college. A year later, when the police have long abandoned their search, Merril assembles all the digital material Angie has left behind and sets about building herself a digital simulation of her sister. The resultant ‘virtual Angie’ offers her some solace – until, that is, it starts to reveal new details about the real Angie’s disappearance…A moving exploration of the intersection of family, technology, and legacy, anthropology is the timely new play from award-winning playwright, Lauren Gunderson. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London’s Hampstead Theatre, in September 2023.
Описание: Abstract: The Everglades is a unique wetland ecosystem. During this century, the ecosystem has been partitioned for disparate uses of human habitation, agriculture, water conservation and ecosystem conservation in a national park. The sustainability of Everglades National Park is dependent upon upstream water sources. Water management in the Everglades and water deliveries to the Park are linked to human perceptions of ecosystem dynamics. One line of inquiry used expansion of a state-of-the-art computer model to examine the upstream area that once contributed water to the Park. Linkages between vegetation and hydrology were added as vegetation mediation of evapotranspiration and flow and hydrologically induced vegetation changes, but neither addition appreciably improve understanding of hydrodynamics in the Everglades system at the scale of the model. Prior to management, the entire system, south of Lake Okeechobee, contributed flow to Everglades Park except during dry years. Since the onset of intensive water management, an equivalent area of only about one-third of the historic drainage basin has supplied water into the Park. But these conclusions are dependent upon the assumptions made to represent the system at a specific spatial-temporal scale in a model. At other scales the conclusions could well be different. That led to the second major topic of this thesis; that of cross-scale structure and dynamics. A cross-scale mode of inquiry suggests that ecosystems exhibit discontinuities in spatial structures and temporal patterns across time and space due to the interaction of key processes operating over different scale ranges. Spatial patterns in the topography, vegetation and fire data sets exhibited scale regions of self-similarity separated by distinct breaks. Temporal patterns of rainfall, stage, flow, evaporation and sea-level exhibited multiple cycles. These analyses support the theory that ecosystems are structured around a few keystone variables of mixed spatial and temporal dimensions. Dramatic discontinuities appear in patterns as a result of the interactions of processes operating at different space and time domains. This emerging viewpoint of ecosystem structure and dynamics will hopefully provide a basis for new understanding and hence improved management of this unique ecosystem.
