# Siesta (film)

Siesta is a 1987 American experimental drama film directed by Mary Lambert and starring Ellen Barkin, Gabriel Byrne and Jodie Foster. According to a 1987 article in The Los Angeles Times, the film "follows a daredevil through her final days leading up to a potentially fatal leap. Rife with Jungian imagery, the film is a post-modern fable of destiny and change, peopled with a gallery of lost souls including a guardian angel (played by British heartthrob Julian Sands), a sorceress (played by pop star Grace Jones) and the angel of death (Alexei Sayle)." It also stars Martin Sheen and Isabella Rossellini.

## Plot

Claire, a young American, wakes up in a distressed state at an airport with no recollection of recent events. As she gradually pieces together her memories, she suspects she may be connected to a murder. Flashbacks reveal she was involved in risky activities, including jumping into a safety net for an event organizer named Del and participating in orgies with acquaintances. The film focuses on Claire's journey through Madrid as she tries to unravel the mystery of her past and uncover shocking truths about herself.

## Production

The film was shot on location in Spain, released by Lorimar Motion Pictures, and debuted in New York City on November 11, 1987. Jazz trumpeter Miles Davis performed on the score for the film, Music from Siesta, which was written and arranged by frequent Davis collaborator Marcus Miller.

## Reaction

The film was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature in 1988, for Director Mary Lambert.
Siesta received mixed reviews. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 14% approval rating based on 7 reviews. It was hailed as "this year's Blue Velvet" by Susan Linfield, editor of American Film. New York Times film critic Janet Maslin called it "the kind of excitingly bad, artily experimental film that has become an endangered species... Still, Miss Lambert's first feature has a game, mischievous spirit and a ripe bohemianism that are appealing." Critic Roger Ebert wrote that "The film is finally overwhelmed by its own ambition, not to mention one too many gimmicks in its plot, but it goes down swinging." However, Sheila Benson of The Los Angeles Times called the film “a monumentally bad, awesomely wrongheaded, pretentious conceit."

# Ladies Please

Ladies Please is a 1995 Australian documentary film directed by Andrew Saw about three Sydney-based drag queens who inspired The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
The lives of Cindy Pastel (Ritchie Finger), Strykermyer (Mark Fitzhugh) and Lady Bump (Stuart Garske) are profiled in detail and contrasted with their depictions in Priscilla. This culminates in Pastel and Bump travelling to the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere and uncomfortably meeting with Terence Stamp and Hugo Weaving from the film, finding both camps have little in common and not much to say to each other. The three queens had originally been slated to play themselves, but Priscilla's producers decided to replace them with "bankable" straight actors with no background in drag.
Saw set out to "(make the film) in such a way that if you got three drag queens who could write and direct, this is the film they would make". He had the trio give natural answers to a series of questions, then transcribed their answers and had them read them aloud to camera twice, in and out of drag. The film then cuts between both sets of footage interchangeably to show both sides of their lives. Strykermyer called the film "a peace offering from drag queens (that) goes to show I am not an absolute freak". The film ends with Strykermyer reflecting on the future:
   The future? I'd like to keep changing and evolving drag. It can be anything I want it to be. But you know what? It'd be nice to be paid properly.
The Age wrote that the film "shows the vulnerability of the drag queen's life in more humanising detail (than Priscilla)". Mary Colbert also wrote in The Sydney Morning Herald that the film "shows drag at its most innovative with performers taking acts far beyond the 'tits and feathers' world of Shirley Bassey-inspired female impersonations to shows that are satirical, political and socially pointed."
Ladies Please first aired on the ABC on 22 May 1995. That year, it was nominated for Best TV Documentary at the AFI Awards. In 2004, it was included as a bonus feature on the DVD reissue of Priscilla. It was later released by Rebel Studios as a standalone DVD in 2008, and then on video on demand in 2014.
# Cold reading (theatrical)

Theatrical cold reading is reading aloud from a script or other text with little or no rehearsal, practice or study in advance. Sometimes also referred to as sight reading, it is a technique used by actors and other performers in theatre, television, and film performance fields.
Cold readings are common in performance classes, and are employed frequently in actor auditions to allow the producer or playwright to get a general idea of the actors' performing capabilities. They are also employed by playwrights who need to hear their play read aloud for the first time by actors, and as such they form an initial integral component of the collaborative creative theatrical process, which may or may not include the eventual production of the play itself. (Public performances of cold readings also serve as entertainment in their own right, particularly in the context of community theater, and less public readings can serve as creative incubators for more established playwright and theatrical talent during the course of play development.) Many actors and other performers and public speakers take classes and practice at length to improve the quality of their cold readings.
Cold reading can also be used in conjunction with improvisations to gauge a performer's ability to perform new works. A good dramatic cold reader is able to communicate with fluency and clarity and to project speech rhythms and rhymes well. The reader should also be able to bring out the intent, mood and characterization of a piece through appropriate articulation and body language.

# French provincial architecture

French Provincial architecture also known as French Eclectic architecture is a revivalist architectural style based on Manor houses or chateaux homes which were built by French aristocrats beginning in the 1600s. The homes are characterized by arched doorways and symmetrically placed elements. They are usually two stories tall with steep hipped roofs. The design came to the United States after American servicemen returned from fighting in France during World War I.

## History

The houses which inspired French Provincial architecture were found in rural France from the 1600s. The architecture was inspired by the stylings of Versailles during the reign of King Louis XIV. Homes found in Normandy, France are examples of the style. The first homes to be designed in the style were manor houses. French nobles built chateaus or manor houses with steep hipped roofs and an overall formal appearance. Architectural journals also refer to the style as French Eclectic architecture.

### United States

In the United States following World War I the style became popular. American soldiers admired the architecture of rural France and when they returned from the war they built homes in the style. In the United States the style remained popular though the 1920s. By 1932 nearly one in three homes which appeared in the annual country house issue of the American magazine Architectural Record had French Provincial design elements. The style fell out of favor in the 1930s, but had a resurgence in the 1960s.
In the United States architect Frank J. Forster promoted the style. He was recognized by his peers as a master of French Provincial architecture in 1927, 1928, and 1929.

## Design

Elements of French Provincial architecture include narrow tall windows with shutters, slate roof, copper gutters and symmetrically placed chimneys. The homes usually feature a rectangular floor plan. Exterior is usually brick or stucco with symmetrically placed exterior components. The design of doors is rectangular with an arched opening. The French provincial homes are two stories tall. The original modest designs ranged from modest farmhouses to wealthy aristocrat country estates.

# Sar-Tov Stadium

Sar-Tov Stadium (Hebrew: איצטדיון שר-טוב, Itztadion Sar-Tov), commonly known as HaKufsa (הקופסה, lit. The Box) was a football stadium in Netanya, Israel. It was used mostly for football matches and was the home stadium of Maccabi Netanya. In 2012 Maccabi Netanya moved to the newly built Netanya Stadium

## Names

The official name was the "Sar-Tov Stadium", named in honor of Joseph Sar-Tov, who was one of the founders of Maccabi Netanya and served as the first chairman of the club. Over the years the stadium was dubbed as "HaKufsa" ("The Box"), the nickname comes from the relatively small size of the ground and being surrounded by stands in the manner reminiscent of a box.

## History

The Sar-Tov Stadium, was officially inaugurated in August 1943.
The first game played in the stadium was an official match against local Maccabi Netanya as part of the European Club Cup on January 1, 1945. The name of the opponent is subject of debate, some sources saying the Yugoslav, Greek, or British army team, the latter option being the prevalent opinion. Before the game, the stadium was officially inaugurated in the presence of city officials including its mayor Oved Ben-Ami.
Former player Yitzhak Caspi mentioned that, at that time, the stadium was nothing but a plot of land. Later it was simply surrounded by ropes and then a small fence was built. The safety conditions at the stadium led to the formation of a "Stewards' Unit," composed of fans who voluntarily took on the entire responsibility for security and order at the venue, without any compensation. Their main role was to prevent children and passersbies from sneaking into the stadium. In 1984, the police ordered the unit to be disbanded, and responsibility for security and order was transferred to private security companies.
In 2014, Sar-Tov Stadium was demolished. The land where it sat was sold and funds went to finance the construction of the Netanya Stadium. The Sar-Tov Stadium demolition site has since been replaced by residential buildings.
