<v Speaker 4>of that play as well. And then they also have

38
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:06.040

00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.879
<v Speaker 4>things like that. One plug that I do want to

<v Speaker 2>Okay, thank you goodness.

49
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.719
<v Speaker 1>That is that is a huge pluget. You know, Oklahoma

50
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Westleyane is of course very well known for their art program.

51
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Believe it or not, a lot of folks whenever they

52
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>think about Oklahoma Westley think about the religious studies and teachers.

53
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 1>A lot of a lot of people who decide to

54
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>go into the education. I remember whenever I was in

55
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>high school science, the science courses biology specifically, we're big

56
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:51.639
<v Speaker 1>courses there.

57
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 2>But you know a lot of.

58
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 1>The time when you're dealing with science, technology, engineering, and math,

59
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 1>the STEM thing right, Well, I'm more of a steam person. Yeah,

60
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.080
<v Speaker 1>with the arts as well, and you know that is

61
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>such an important part of I think a person's education.

62
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 1>Would you agree with me or am I just off

63
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 1>in another world?

64
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>No, you're absolutely right.

65
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the arts are very important, and that's something that

66
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:19.960
<v Speaker 4>we try to focus on, something we try to develop

67
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 4>with our students, and our professors do a really good

68
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.719
<v Speaker 4>job of being successful at that and then helping our

69
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.039
<v Speaker 4>students be successful once they graduate. Yeah.

70
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.439
<v Speaker 3>And I was a part of the arts sort of

71
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 3>starting out my freshman sophomore year, and I did not

72
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 3>come here to be in the artistic realm. I had

73
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.680
<v Speaker 3>done stage productions in high school, but then once I

74
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 3>got to college, I was like, I don't know if

75
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.599
<v Speaker 3>I want to continue this. But I had professors reach

76
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 3>out and said, hey, we're starting something and it's going

77
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.520
<v Speaker 3>to be our first show in about forty years, and

78
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 3>we want everybody's help. And so they reached out to

79
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.120
<v Speaker 3>everybody and you were able to delve back into kind

80
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:55.680
<v Speaker 3>of your love.

81
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 2>For the arts.

82
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 3>And since then, I've been a part of the productions.

83
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 3>I've been a part of a different show and their

84
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 3>movies and stuff recently, and so they don't just focus

85
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 3>on the people of the arts, but they get everybody in.

86
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.039
<v Speaker 3>And so there's also now a minor that you can

87
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 3>get and so if you're majoring in something else, you

88
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 3>can minor in in stage production or in graphic design

89
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.720
<v Speaker 3>or things like that, and so it's really really a

90
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.639
<v Speaker 3>great opportunity. But majoring in it as well is also

91
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.279
<v Speaker 3>amazing because you're able to spend so much time focusing

92
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 3>on your artistic side rather than just I don't know,

93
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 3>something else.

94
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:29.279
<v Speaker 2>But it's amazing.

95
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Great facilities there at oaklou as well. I think the

96
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Fine Arts Center is one of the newest buildings on campus.

97
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>Am I correcting that?

98
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

99
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, And I know that our theater professor, Hardy Blackhert,

100
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.600
<v Speaker 4>they do a really good job that they actually go

101
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.240
<v Speaker 4>in and they build a bunch of different sets. And

102
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 4>so he's been hard at work building different sets for

103
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 4>the theater program or the theater performance that they're going

104
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.199
<v Speaker 4>to have starting this week.

105
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, oh yeah, that is a lot of work.

106
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Now I never did the building of sets for the productions.

107
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I in my adulthood, I was very involved with the

108
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.759
<v Speaker 1>Bartlesville High School band program and for their field show

109
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>that they do. I did all kinds of building of

110
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:12.319
<v Speaker 1>props for that as well.

111
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.319
<v Speaker 2>So that's a lot of work just one guy doing

112
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>all this. Well, no, he actually has the students. Yeah,

113
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 2>he actually has the students come in and help him

114
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 2>as well from a free student labor. Yeah.

115
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, the Art Discovery Day coming up as well, And

116
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>you were talking about it, Jason, this theater production that's

117
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>going on right now, tell me what the show is

118
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:33.959
<v Speaker 1>and what's going on.

119
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So, like I said, they've been hard at work

120
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 4>building sets for this and so They're actually going to

121
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.680
<v Speaker 4>start on Thursday of this week, so I'll be Thursday, Friday,

122
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.680
<v Speaker 4>and Saturday at seven o'clock is when those showings will

123
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 4>take place. The play is the importance of being earnest

124
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.079
<v Speaker 4>and so something that maybe some people are familiar with.

125
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.639
<v Speaker 2>It'll be good. Hardy does a really good job. I know.

126
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:55.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm just in connection to that.

127
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.040
<v Speaker 4>He also is our digital film professor, and last year

128
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.279
<v Speaker 4>he did a student film Breakaway.

129
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 2>That's one that was really great.

130
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:07.319
<v Speaker 4>It's completely student produced, student directed, student actors and things

131
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 4>like that, and it was sent to several film festivals.

132
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.160
<v Speaker 4>I think they won nine different awards or something like that.

133
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 4>So just based on his experience there, I can tell

134
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:17.879
<v Speaker 4>you this theater production is going to be really good.

135
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Now, Krista, do you have a.

136
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.600
<v Speaker 3>Part in I am unfortunately not able to be a

137
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.240
<v Speaker 3>part of it, but I will be there helping out

138
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 3>with ticketing and with ushering, and so I'll be there

139
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.399
<v Speaker 3>and to help out with the arts discovery day. You'll

140
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.560
<v Speaker 3>see my face and I'll be greeting people and providing

141
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.279
<v Speaker 3>snacks and all that, so I'll be the person you

142
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:35.680
<v Speaker 3>want to meet.

143
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it made the mention of tickets. What is

144
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the cause for admission to the performance?

145
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I want to say that for adults it's

146
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.759
<v Speaker 3>about twelve dollars, for students it's ten, and then if

147
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.759

197
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, such really really cool things. You have digital cinema

198
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 1>going on as well, and brought you mentioned a little

199
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:10.440
<v Speaker 1>bit about that that film award, So going a little

200
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 1>bit more into what OKWU offers for digital cinema.

201
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:16.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So one of the things that's really cool is

202
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.639
<v Speaker 4>that it's kind of a year long program is so

203
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:22.159
<v Speaker 4>you have a script writing class usually that students will

204
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.600
<v Speaker 4>take in the fall, and so they'll have an opportunity

205
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 4>to write different scripts and things like that, and then

206
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:29.600
<v Speaker 4>they have kind of a contest to see write what

207
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.080
<v Speaker 4>script is the best and that's the script that we're

208
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 4>going to use for the film in the spring. And

209
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.799
<v Speaker 4>so they've got the film in the spring that they'll

210
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:39.240
<v Speaker 4>start based on that script that these students have wrote.

211
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Are written and then they have.

212
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:44.440
<v Speaker 4>Whoever has won, and then they have an opportunity to

213
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:48.240
<v Speaker 4>They're always looking for actors for that as well. So

214
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.720
<v Speaker 4>we've got students that are on campus. But then if

215
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.159
<v Speaker 4>you don't want to be in the film, you can

216
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.240
<v Speaker 4>be a part of the back behind the scenes stuff

217
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.759
<v Speaker 4>where you can be you know, running the camera or

<v Speaker 2>Do you know?

227
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:18.919
<v Speaker 4>At the top of your guest, So, I know, I mean,

228
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.000
<v Speaker 4>if you're way back kind of we've got early nineteen

229
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.440
<v Speaker 4>hundreds where we had you know, antecedent schools that were

230
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:28.120
<v Speaker 4>here before Oklahoma Wesleyan some that kind of combined as well, do.

231
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.840
<v Speaker 3>You have I know it all started in nineteen oh five,

232
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.600
<v Speaker 3>that's when we were kind of born from Bartlesville Wesleyan

233
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:36.919
<v Speaker 3>and then it just kind of moved on. I want

234
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.440
<v Speaker 3>to say, the early two thousands, maybe late nineteen hundreds

235
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.360
<v Speaker 3>was when Oklahoma Wesleyan University became what it is, And

236
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.240
<v Speaker 3>just since then we've grown. We've got so many more

237
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 3>numbers of students coming in, undergrad students, online students this year,

238
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:53.919
<v Speaker 3>more than probably we've ever seen. And so we're just

239
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.399
<v Speaker 3>growing and growing and growing, and this Arts Discovery Day

240
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.039
<v Speaker 3>is only going to help us grow even more.

241
00:10:58.200 --> 00:10:58.279
