1. "Fefu and Her Friends": an audience interactive play by Maria Irene Fornes
Co-directed by Virginia Cowie & Joshua Waterstone

Thursday, October 7, Friday, October 8, and Sunday October 10 at 8:00 pm
Saturday October 9th at 9:00 pm
Suggested donation $9-$13 (no reservations)
Doors open 1/2 hour before show times for gallery viewing (Fridays open from 3pm on.)

Thalian Blackfriars Student Theatre Organization, in conjunction with ATHICA: Athens Institute of
Contemporary Art, presents "Fefu and Her Friends" by Maria Irene Fornes.

This all female play explores multi-layered facets of womanhood, from superficial layers to candid
truths.  It is also a hyper-drama in which certain scenes occur simultaneously. After the first act,
the audience will be split up into four groups, where group guides will lead them from scene-to-
scene.

The Co-Directors are Virginia Cowie & Joshua Waterstone, director of the "Paradise Hotel".  As co-
directors their focus is on "what lies under the surface," the theme of much creative work
concerning the emotionally fraught domestic sphere.

The set design is by Christian Croft ("E.L.I.") and Joshua Waterstone ("Paradise Hotel"), and features
artwork by Croft and Lyndsey Leigh, a BFA candidate in Photography at UGA. The artworks are
encased in parts of the set and provide glimpses into the "worms beneath the stone" as well as
insight into the characters' facades.

Audience members are encouraged to come early to view the "Relative: Photographing
Domesticity" exhibit at ATHICA, as well as to view the original set pieces created for the "Fefu"
production. The current ATHICA exhibit provides the backdrop for the ironies and symbolism in
Fornes' play.

2. Call for Participation
<http://www.designtimeline.org>

We would like to invite you to contribute to the online collective web design history timeline. This
project wants to map your encounters with design for the World Wide Web.   It is part of a larger
project entitled A Decade of Webdesign that includes an international conference in Amsterdam,
January 21-22, 2005.

Open History Timeline
<http://www.designtimeline.org> is an 'open research' website/database into the first decade of
web design.  The online forum is a visual and textual timeline generated out of a self-
customizable questionnaire. Using a custom content management system the site will allows:
. Users to add images, comments and links, making a collective history of webdesign as it
developed.  Such elements might include histories of their own first homepage; the first use of a
technology; original html code; reminiscences of key designers, innovators, critics and
technologists.
. Using a question-based interface users can write their own questions and respond to those of
others.  All questions entered are available, ensuring that no one set of views or way of writing
predominates.
. Multi-lingual use.

The site is designed for use for anyone involved in web design over the past ten years.  It is also
ideal as a simple structured tool which can be used for both research and teaching.  This project is
intended to be of interest to a broad range of disciplines from design to computer science and
from history to sociology. If you are a teacher we would like to invite you to consider integrating
this site into your curriculum, as a piece of independent research for students, as a set workshop,
or as the basis of a sustained project.

The project starts now and continues until the end of march 2005, at which point it will be
archived.  Please - make history!
