Arts & Humanities - 23 January 2007

I know this is a weird question..but here we go...Where were the Hispanics during slavery? I wanna know cause it all seems to be black & white and that’s where it ends. Well, what about us Hispanics? I know we around at that time but I never hear about it. Were we all up north…hiding out in NY? Were we considered black because we were not white? Because everything was based on the color of your skin, what would have happened to me? My mother is so light skinned she looks white and Im brown skinned and often people confuse me for black or Indian or whatever. Would they have separated me from her? I dunno, this may be a stupid question but I am curious. Please don’t be mean and tell me to go get an education, lol…I got one, thanx and as we all know when you learn about slavery in school all they teach about is what the African Americans went through and the horrible white ppl that brought them into slavery…never about Hispanics. Any real answer would be appreciated. Thanx

I am trying to find information on this story. When there was a labor shortage for men to work on the skyscrapers, due to their fear of heights, a tribe of indians took over the job because they had no fear of heights. The believed they would turn into birds. Does anyone know where I could find more information on this story?

I have an audition for the musical Guys and Dolls soon and I have picked out a song and I am pretty confident. but I was wondering where are you supposted to look when you sing. I've been told to make eye contact with the director, but don't stare. I have also been told to pick a spot on the wall and not look at them at all. What should I do?

Oh the song is El Fandango from Wagon Wheels West if that matters at all

Religion, no matter what you believe in seems to have on central person/persons they focus on. Teaching are often very similar, but there are many different interpretations of them and how extreme they are held as a belief. My question is, why is religion such a great cause of violence and hardships for our earth, if in fact religions are supposed be the study and worship of ideas?

To the shock of a great many people, my child, who was widely considered a shoe-in for one of two leads in a musical, was very unexpectedly offered a bit part. We can't turn to friends or the other cast mates we know for help because they are all shocked too, for him and others as there are more casting decision shocks. We nearly declined but he wanted to be involved anyways since he had planned to for nearly a year and had his heart set on it (albeit in a different capacity), I'll be in it with him, and two other mutual friends will also be in it. So for better or worse we accepted anyways.It's just going to really hurt and anger him for a while. The immediate concern is how to keep the pain from showing during the first rehearsal this Saturday and how to handle shocked condolences, how to pretend to be happy for and supportive of the ones who did get the roles, and how to work with a cast that does not yet appear to make sense and may still be unclear after the read through.

Thx
