Why Theater Majors Are Vital in the Digital Age, from the Chronicle of Higher Ed.
In this article from The Chronicle of Higher Education, Tracey Moore writes:
“Businesses have long recognized that elements of actor training can be used to develop creativity, improve communication, and resolve conflicts. Many corporate consultants have bachelor’s degrees in acting and make a good living teaching improvisation, role play, and collaborative problem-solving to M.B.A.s. Yet universities with theater departments have failed to recognize that they have this resource in their own backyards”

“Employers are already being proactive about weeding out poor writers from the hiring process.

The Hunt (Denmark)- April 18th, 6pm
On Monday, April 18 at 6pm*, CALA will screen The Hunt, a Danish movie directed by Thomas Vinterberg and starring Mads Mikkelson who is currently playing Hannibal Lecter on NBC’s hit show Hannibal.
The Hunt is a dark and complicated movie – evocative of most Danish TV productions over the past 10 years. Forbrydelsen, Borgen, and Bron/Broen were all made by Denmark’s public-service broadcaster, DR (http://www.dr.dk/) which was established by an act of parliament in 1926. For American TV audiences Forbrydelsen 
(the crime) transformed into the critically acclaimed series The Killing; Bron/Broen into The Bridge. Borgen, a political drama starring Sidse Babett Knudsen as Birgitte Nyborg, the country’s first female prime minister, was so good it was compared to Aaron Sorkin’s The West Wing by US critics – tak but no tak!
Netflix is currently streaming two seasons of Dicte which is about a crime reporter who, after divorce, returns to her hometown and immediately gets into trouble with the law. 
My favorite criticisms of the show were the complaints that most of the actors’ Copenhagen accents were not authentic for a show set in Aarhus. Perhaps Dorte Tulet, who teaches Danish at the Center for Applied Liberal Arts and who will be the moderator on April 18, will have a few moments to discuss some of Denmark’s wonderful television too. More shows to keep an eye out for are Klovn, Arvingerne, and Rita.
*The screening takes place at the National Opera Center, 330 7th Avenue, New York, NY. RSVP here

That’s a Novel Idea! How Reading Literature (and Other Non-Business Books) Can Benefit You at Work and in Life- from The Hired Guns Blog
In this entry from the Hired Guns Blog, NYU SPS Adj. Asst. Prof. Todd Cherches writes: “Beyond entertainment, enjoyment, and escape, great literature transports us to another place and time, allowing us to experience the world through the eyes of others. It often brings us back to the basics, and reminds us of the universality of the human condition, making us more informed and literate, more educated and enlightened, more aware and self-aware, more empathetic, more humane, and more human. And, all together, this will (hopefully) make us both better business leaders and better people.” Read the rest of this post here: http://www.thehiredguns.com/blogs/2016/02/02/12933/
