Scenic Design for "The Weir"
Andrea Bechert
Scenic Designer for the production of "The Weir" at the Jewel Theatre Company in Santa Cruz, in January 2022.
The arrival of a mysterious woman from Dublin disrupts the routine in a tiny pub in rural Ireland. The local barflies vie to impress her with tales of the supernatural – but what starts as stories of ghosts and fairies leads to revelations about love and family. Playwright Conor McPherson was awarded the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play for The Weir.
As the Scenic Designer, I oversee the design and visual aspects in three departments, and work directly with the people in those departments. These areas are Scenery (the architectural aspects of the setting), Scenic Art & Paints (the textures, painting, and finish of the scenery), and Properties (anything that you would move in or out of your house in a moving van including all décor).ScholarWorks Profile: Andrea Bechert

Tabitha Hart
What do you do when you are a newcomer in a cultural group and you must find your way? From the perspective of an ethnographer of communication, one of the most effective strategies you can take is to go from the inside out. Exploring Cultural Communication from the Inside Out: An Ethnographic Toolkit is a workbook that offers readers a hands-on approach to navigating new cultural environments. The text helps readers develop richer and more nuanced understandings not only of the different cultures they are members of but also their own roles in an increasingly multicultural and global society. The book is grounded in an interpretive theoretical/ methodological framework of the ethnography of communication and speech codes theory, and guides readers through the process of applying this framework to any setting of their choice. Throughout, the text introduces theoretical concepts and pairs them with applied activities that require readers to engage in ethical fieldwork, data collection, and analysis. Readers are then challenged to document their experience, communicate what they have learned, and participate in deep reflection. Featuring a unique methodology and highly practical information, Exploring Cultural Communication from the Inside Out is exemplary for courses in intercultural communication, language and culture, sociolinguistics, and communication research.
