5f / Musical/ Unit Set Unlike most of the stage works about
Gertrude and Alice, 27 Rue de Fleurus is told from Alice's point of
view. Gertrude grows tired of Alice's lack of panache for telling
her perspective of their story and attempts to hijack the play as
only the author of such lines as "sugar is not a vegetable" can.
But Alice has secrets to share with the audience that silence the
famously verbose Gertrude. This celebrated couple confronts each
other about love, marriage, jealousy, genius and a few other
delicious topics while Pablo Picasso, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Mabel
Dodge, Sylvia Beach and even Jean Harlow drop by for a visit. "27
Rue de Fleurus gets its sweetness from a genuine love of its
subject, the "marriage" of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. The
music is well handled by John Bell; and the all-female cast sings
excellently." - Village Voice "What we have here is a love story,
fraught with jealousy and passion like others, but most of all, it
celebrates the incredible bond between two women who decided to
share their lives, even during a time when it was relatively
unheard of. That alone makes 27 Rue de Fleurus worth an evening of
your time." - GO Magazine "Ms. Rosenblat, who, seated, resembles
portraits of Stein, plays Gertrude as a commanding bully. And Ms.
Stern's Alice is a bright, attractive creature. ("Everyone is
entitled to a bit of fantasy," she says.) They're strong, plausible
performances." - NY Times "Credit Ted Sod and Lisa Koch, writers of
27 Rue de Fleurus, with the provocative notion of fashioning a
revisionist musical from Alice B. Toklas' corrective version of her
life with literary giant Gertrude Stein. Name-dropping opening
number "Salon (Let's Talk)" sets the smart tone for the musical's
mise en scene -- the Parisian apartment at 27 Rue de Fleurus where
Gertrude (Barbara Rosenblat) and her companion Alice (Cheryl Stern)
preside over a fashionable literary salon that attracts artists and
writers of international renown, as well as the occasional American
feminist and Hollywood movie star. It's an inviting scene, to be
sure." - Variety

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th MICCAI
Workshop on Domain Adaptation and Representation Transfer, DART
2022, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2022, in September 2022. DART
2022 accepted 13 papers from the 25 submissions received. The
workshop aims at creating a discussion forum to compare, evaluate,
and discuss methodological advancements and ideas that can improve
the applicability of machine learning (ML)/deep learning (DL)
approaches to clinical setting by making them robust and consistent
across different domains.
The collection of readings in Learning American Sign Language to
Experience the Essence of Deaf Culture broadens students' knowledge
of the Deaf community and Deaf culture. The material also gives
important and meaningful context to American Sign Language. The
readings in the first section introduce students to history through
Deaf eyes, medical and cultural views of Deafness, the Deaf
community, the grammar of American Sign Language, American Sign
Language numbering systems, the American Sign Language continuum,
communication technologies and name signs used in American Sign
Language. Section two focuses on notable Deaf men and women, the
ear and Deafness and Deafhood. The readings in the third section
examine artistic areas of Deafness including the Deaf Poet Society
and Deaf View of Image in Art. Differing constructions of Deafness
and theories of dysconscious audism are discussed. The text also
looks at Deaf culture through two American Sign Language Stories:
Bird of a Different Feather and For a Decent Living. Extensively
class-tested, Learning American Sign Language to Experience the
Essence of Deaf Culture develops readers' awareness of and
sensitivity to the Deaf community in America. The book is an
excellent addition to courses in American Sign Language, Deaf
history and culture, and communication sciences and disorders.
