********** WEEKEND EVENTS *********

TOOTH OF CRIME by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Sam Shepard
7:30pm, Jan. 28, 29, SCC Theater
NEW INFO ABOUT PRODUCTION:  This production, co-directed by Jesse Ross and Tony Doupé, is a collaboration between SCC art, drama and music students. At Doupé's inquiry, art instructors Natalie Niblack and Laura Ward asked design students if they would be interested in creating stage sets for the play. Student Maya Huggins, who jumped on the opportunity to spearhead the project, developed ideas for stage design and brought 10 other art students on board to help paint the set. Music students perform live rock 'n' roll as well.  More than 50 students, faculty and staff worked for months preparing for the future-oriented production. John Nold was in charge of set construction and set design.

Set in a music-driven American wasteland, Shepard’s melodrama relates the alternating self-doubt and drug-fuelled hubris of the of the aging rock warlord Hoss as he searches for relevance and attempts to protect his turf from the upstart “Gypsy” rocker, Crow. Living in fortressed isolation and waited on by a handful of leather-clad lackeys, Hoss struggles to regain his originality and emerge from the fetid “river of sameness” that rock was quickly becoming. Backed by the electric crackle of a 500-watt amplifier and the percussive beat of a snare drum, The Tooth of Crime is, ultimately, a play that explores the nature of personal and artistic integrity, and the power that can come from picking up a microphone and unleashing a primal howl into the air. There is a live rock/punk band on stage and the story rocks.

General -$8
Seniors/Non SCC Students/ SCC Faculty and Staff - $6
SCC Students/ Children - $4

Purchase tickets at Brown Paper Tickets.

The showing on the 29th has been added on to the original schedule in response to show cancellations due to snow days.

EMPLOYEE CLIMATE SURVEY -COMING SOON!
Open from 6am, Mon, January 30 to 12pm, Mon, February 13
All, After a lapse of a few years, the college is reintroducing the Employee Climate Survey (you can't keep a good survey down!). The questions are largely based on the WA State Employee Survey which can be found at (The Washington State Department of Personnel web site appears to be having technical problems so access is not currently available. Please keep checking at:

http://www.dop.wa.gov/WorkforceDataAndPlanning/WorkforceDataTrend
StateEmployeeSurvey/Pages/default.aspx

The intent of the survey is best summed up on the above website: Agencies act on their Employee Survey data to:

 *Improve workforce management practices
 * Improve workplace culture
 * Celebrate what's being done well
 * Help retain and engage a productive workforce

As you know, the college is being subjected to serious influences; the expectation is that these results will serve (at least in part) to suggest avenues that will help us navigate through the upcoming/ongoing stresses. As such, we would like to encourage your participation in the survey when it opens at 6 a.m. Monday, January 30, 2012. The survey will remain open until noon on Monday, February 13, 2012. Assuming sufficient reponses in each category to assure confidentiality, response averages overall and by Employee group (Classified, Exempt, Faculty, Hourly, Student) for each question will be posted on the IR (Institutional Research)website by the close of the day on Friday February 17.

HOWARD HSU AND MATEO ZACHAI
January 2nd to February 3rd, 2012
The Other Half: Displays of Wealth in a Recession and Double-Take: Photographs by Mateo Zapata Zachai

Howard Hsu and Mateo Zachai are photography instructors at Shoreline. The Other Half is Howard’s look behind the closed-door gatherings of wealth, or perceived wealth, in America. The photographs were taken as rumors of an impending recession quickly became reality. The project explores ostentatious attire, unconventional gestures, and objects of gratification.

Mateo’s Double-Take is a series of deconstructed photographs created by punching holes in negatives and reconstructing them in the darkroom. The rows of disaggregated photographic circles are inspired by Lichtenstein’s Ben-Day Dots and Chuck Close’s cell-grid portraits.
