Maybe you already know all the Generation Y stereotypes. They’re entitled. They’re narcissistic. They’ve destroyed the art of communication with tweets, texts and status updates. Let’s face it. The millennial generation has inherited a bad reputation. gener8-tion Txt challenges these notions by pulling back the layers, and exposing the real truth that lurks behind their digital communication style. This play defiantly reminds us ‘We communicate - we just do it different.’Tumblr (3.0; @gentxt)http://gentxt.tumblr.com/<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hc37Pi0KmB4?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Promotional video for gener8-tion Txt.</p>http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15726922579http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15726922579Thu, 12 Jan 2012 12:02:00 -0500LehighLehigh Universitytheatercollege theaternew workoriginal hip hop theateroriginal self expressionensemble theaterdiversitydiverse collegehip hop love<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxio7gvGSv1r9jwk6o1_r1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><em>For more, click on</em> CAST <em>in the menu bar.</em></p>http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15555566216http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15555566216Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:50:00 -0500Lehigh UniversityDept. of Theatreheadshotscastensemblehip hop theater<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/025tJB7AAlQ?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong>MOMENT 4 LIFE</strong></p>http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15555544713http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15555544713Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:49:00 -0500Nicki Minajhip hop dancemoment 4 lifeensemble<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxinss812G1r9jwk6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15555213550http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15555213550Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:41:00 -0500hip hop theaternew workcastgener8-tion Txt castproduction shots160 characters to text. 140 if you Tweet. http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15551505847http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15551505847Sun, 08 Jan 2012 23:20:00 -0500gener8-tion Txttwittercommunicationmillenial<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxijlnV8K21r9jwk6o1_r1_250.png"/><br/><br/><p>Generations, like people, have personalities, and Millennials – the American teens and twenty-somethings currently making the passage into adulthood – have begun to forge theirs: confident, self-expressive, liberal, upbeat and receptive to new ideas and ways of living.pewsocialtrends.org</p>http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15551005491http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15551005491Sun, 08 Jan 2012 23:10:00 -0500MillennialsMillennial generationpew trustPresented by Lehigh University's Dept. of Theatre: gener8-tion Txtwas conceived & written by the...http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15550929157http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15550929157Sun, 08 Jan 2012 23:09:00 -0500Lehigh UniversityDept. of TheatreHip Hop theatregener8-tion Txt<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxij0wsecK1r9jwk6o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>by Adrian Velazquez</p> <p><em>Adrian is a Lehigh University student majoring in journalism with minors in music industry and theatre. </em></p>http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15550346014http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15550346014Sun, 08 Jan 2012 22:58:00 -0500gener8-tion Txtreviewplayhi[p hop theater<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxihjur2qC1r9jwk6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Collaborative play writing in the 21st century.</p>http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15548613942http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15548613942Sun, 08 Jan 2012 22:26:00 -0500playwrightingcollege studentsLehigh UniversityDept. of TheatreProfessor Kashi Johnsonhip hop theatertechnology<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9eVyRG2G-B8?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong>NO BULLSHIT</strong></p> <p>“<em>Our identities.

We had 15 people writing differ- ent things.” The cast used an online cloud computing site called AirSet.com to share files with fellow cast members and submit them to the director.</p> <p>When the cast returned from winter break, it finally had a rough script.  It has continued to be changed until recently. “Since I came on board, we’ve had three or four copies of the script,” said stage manager Vanessa Arvidson, ’14. Now that rehearsals are underway, the cast and crew’s stamina is begin- ning to be tested.</p> <p>On the whole, students are able to earn up to six credits for this production. Two of them were from last semester and were optional, and this semester, the performance credit of any theatre production is also two credits.</p> <p>There is also an additional studio class where some members of the production work on the finishing touches of the script. “We meet twice in the week for two<br/>hours,” Johnson said. “And we have rehearsals every night. The purpose of the studio is to iron out the kinks.” “It’s rehearsal outside rehearsal,” Linn said.</p> <p>“Right now, my job isn’t as difficult as it will be,” said Arvidson, who takes charge of the entire production once technical rehearsals begin. “It’s going to be a very hands-on show. It’s going to be intense. It’s going to be great.”</p> <p>The ethnically diverse group of cast memebers is excited to show the Lehigh community the result of months of hard work and scarifice.</p> <p>“This play shows what we, as a generation, want to say,” Linn said. “It’s very personal. There is going to be a lot to take-in and focus.” Quinones said the show is very real, and he expects all the emotions of the audience members to be tapped.<br/><br/>“I will not hesitate to call this show anything less than generation-defining and revolutionary,” he said.</p>http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15542525734http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15542525734Sun, 08 Jan 2012 20:36:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxiceplRqS1r9jwk6o1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Making music with (l-r) guest artist Marie Kanu, music director Ali Richardson, contributor Karl Brisseaux & cast member Rawle Sterling.</p>http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15542451330http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15542451330Sun, 08 Jan 2012 20:35:00 -0500“Listen up, I got a story to tell.” - Notorious B.I.G.http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15487000005http://gentxt.tumblr.com/post/15487000005Sat, 07 Jan 2012 22:06:00 -0500
