<p>While there are several studies on the relationship between learning disabilities and creativity, there is no conclusive scientific proof of a direct relationship between the two at this time. Like several of the case studies available, Wendy Wasserstein's life and work provide examples of the effect a learning disability like dyslexia can have on career choice and an individual's ability to develop and implement novel ideas. This article examines Wasserstein's education, early work, and the role dyslexia played in choices she made related to her decision to become a writer, and her creative process. It also considers the advantage of reframing the way a learning disability can be viewed in relation to career choice and creativity.</p><p>Keywords: dyslexia, learning disability, creativity</p>

ABSTRACT Children with learning disabilities have creative capabilities that sometimes unnoticed by their pa- rents or teachers. Their creative capabilities are usually observed from their drawings, which as creative as the drawings created in traditional arts. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between drawings from children with learning disabilities compared to the drawings created in traditional arts.The research methods employed is a qualitative descriptions with visual languages approaches. The approaches used are contents of wimba, way of wimba, enlargement and shrinkage. It can be shown that the way of drawing by children with learning disabilities has direct relationship with the traditional arts. The way of wimba of these children’s drawings is having similar characteristics with the way of wimba in traditional arts.  This similarity is observed from the unique way of drawing of these children which are figurative objects drawn on a flat sand surface, various backgrounds, various relieves, tranparencies, emphasizing large objects, green colour, and symmetrical compositions. These similarities are constructed because these children do not know about perspective drawing and gravitational principles in the draw- ing, somethings which are also found in traditional art, so that both tend to have similar way of wimba in drawings. The characteristics of drawing by children with learning disabilities can be seen from the way of wimba figures which are schematics, which should already surpassed by children with similar age. Keywords: Children, Drawings, Learning disabilities, Traditional arts, Visual language    ABSTRAK Anak berkesulitan belajar mempunyai kreativitas yang belum diketahui oleh orang tua bah- kan guru. Kreativitas yang tergali dari gambar yang dihasilkan oleh Anak Berkesulitan Belajar (ABB), sama kreatifnya dengan gambar yang berasal dari seni rupa tradisi. Penelitian ini untuk mengetahui relasi antara gambar ABB dengan gambar seni rupa tradisi. Relasi adalah hal yang membuat adanya keterhubungan antara gambar ABB dengan gambar seni rupa tradisi.Metode penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan bahasa rupa. Bahasa rupa yang dipergunakan adalah isi wimba, cara wimba, diperbesar atau diperkecil. Hasil pene- litian ini diketahui bahwa cara gambar anak memiliki relasi dengan gambar seni rupa tradisi, yaitu cara wimba gambar ABB mempunyai karakteristik kemiripan dengan gambar seni rupa tradisi. Hal tersebut dapat diamati dari cara khas gambar anak yaitu objek figur digambarkan diatas rata tanah, aneka latar, aneka tampak, tembus pandang, objek yang besar dibuat penting, warna hijau, komposisi simetris. Kemiripan tersebut karena anak-anak belum mengenal gam- bar perspektif dan gaya gravitasi pada gambar, hal yang sama juga ditemui dalam seni rupa seni tradisi sehingga mereka memiliki kecenderungan penggambaran cara wimba yang mirip. Sedangkan karakteristik gambar ABB dapat dilihat dari cara wimba figur yang menyerupai bagan, padahal untuk anak seusianya anak sudah melampaui bentuk tersebut. Kata kunci: Anak-anak, Bahasa rupa, Berkesulitan Belajar, Gambar, Seni rupa tradisi

The Relationship

The role of visual problems in learning disability has been a source of considerable controversy for many years. One major issue in the continuing argument is the frequent confusion of labels and concepts in the visual field. It is important to view vision as a psychophysiologic mechanism and to differentiate it from a mechanistic orientation emphasizing the eyes. Most visual problems related to learning disability represent a breakdown in the ability of the eyes to function in an harmonious fashion, that is, some interference in binocular function. While visual defects should not be confused with defects in visual perception, the identification and treatment of visual problems is an important element in the diagnosis and remediation of learning disabilities.

Aim: The aim of this research is to identify the Novak’s relationship of ‘liquid architecture and music’ as an approach that diverges from the architecture music relationships that have been built throughout the historical process. Method: In describing the approach, initially, the intellectual and critical foundations and features of liquid architecture were emphasized, and subsequently, its relationship with music was discussed through case studies in comparison to the current relationship between architecture and music. Results: When the current relationships of the architecture and music are evaluated, the attitude apart from the arising sensations and affections doesn’t exist within the relationship of liquid architecture and music. Liquid architecture, which has characteristics such as continuity, timelessness, plurality, poetry and obscurity, acquires the characteristics of the individual varying based on his/her body, senses, perceptions, and emotions as the way of producing architecture. It is claimed that the liquidity approach will influence music and architecture in different ways than is known, and that music will transform into a new form of architecture, while architecture becoming a new form of music. In this context, it extends ‘beyond (trans-)’ the limits of current approaches. Conclusion: The sixth category of methodical approaches in architecture music interaction can be defined as the relationship of liquid architecture and music. The way it relates to music and the way it produces architecture also suggests a direction of development to concrete architecture and virtually warns about renewing its theory and tools.

Constitution Making

Abstract This short article is an introduction to a Symposium on Constitution Making in Asia and the Pacific. It seeks to place constitution making in Asia in the context of the broader global debate. In doing so, it develops the theme of the relationship between the local and the global in constitution-making projects. It suggests four sets of factors that deserve consideration in examining the relationship between local and global influences: ownership, implementation, accountability, and legitimacy. A final section reflects on the experiences of constitution making in Asia and the Pacific and the way in which these factors play out in the various case studies.

By outlining the origins of ‘Urban Saints’ youth ministry and through comparing this with the emerging ecclesiology of ‘New Contextual Churches’ this paper proposes that work with young people creates space into which the church can grow. The potential of a pilgrim ecclesiology is noted as way of moving towards an ecclesiological framework for this. Finally, through reflection on data from extended case studies of two current Urban Saints groups, the way in which youth ministry is still moving into new space is demonstrated. The paper concludes by suggesting that creating ecclesial space is one way of understanding the relationship between youth ministry and the church.

The Relationship

A case is presented to reveal the existence of a relationship between learning disabilities and cultural-economic disadvantage. Evidence from a variety of sources is presented suggesting that the problem is most properly viewed as a complex interrelationship among the phenomena of learning disabilities, brain dysfunction, and cultural-economic disadvantage. The arguments presented reveal a strong association between learning disabilities and cultural-economic disadvantage. A comparison of the learning disabled and culturally disadvantaged groups in terms of symptomatology found them to be more alike than different. Finally, the question is asked as to why disadvantaged children are excluded from service within the learning disability framework. A reexamination of the relationship is called for since the services provided learning disabled children appear appropriate for meeting the educational needs of culturally-economically disadvantaged children.

This paper presents the findings of a research project evaluating community benefit models for offshore renewables. We identify and analyse UK and international case studies of different forms of community benefit, and provide evidence of how such benefits are delivered. In particular we consider the key relationship between the identification of communities, perception of impact, and the apportionment of benefits. In doing so, we develop a range of different definitions of ‘community’, ‘benefit’, and ‘impact’ when considering community benefits. We propose that the way in which community, benefit, and impact are understood is crucial in determining whether or how benefits should be apportioned and delivered; and that these definitions are closely connected to each other. We develop a new series of typologies as a way to understand this. Finally, we assess different mechanisms and schemes of community benefits to identify good practice and key points of learning for policy and planning.

“Who Would Disagree that in a World of Trump and Putin and Boris Johnson ... Brecht Is Not the Theorist and Playwright of Our Times?”: Bertolt Brecht’s Influence on David Greig’s Work

Abstract This article maps out David Greig’s engagement with the figure of Bertolt Brecht, both the ‘theorist’ and the ‘playwright.’ It addresses this engagement in terms not just of influence but also of creative dialogue and enduring inspiration. The first part of this article looks at Brecht and Greig’s similarities and Greig’s Brechtian influence generally, which are explored, for instance, through Brechtian concepts such as “breaking the rules,” “critical stance” and “entertainment.” The second part focuses on the idea of “making political theatre politically” (Thamer and Turnheim 90; emphasis original) and argues that the most relevant Brechtian aspect in Greig’s work is the way it envisions and politicizes the relationship between the play and the audience via the use of some strategies that draw on epic theatre, which, in Greig’s work, operate under “post-Brechtian dialectics” (Barnett, “Performing”). The third part of the article illustrates the Brechtian import of Greig’s work by exploring two case studies, The American Pilot (2005) and The Events (2013). In analyzing these two paradigmatically Brechtian plays, this article illustrates how understanding Brecht’s influence on Greig’s work is essential in order to understand the politics of Greig’s theatre. More widely, this article contributes towards understanding Brecht’s legacy with regard to political British theatre in the age of globalization.

This article looks at the way we make sense of the world around us, and how autism can affect this. It goes on to consider the relationship of music to ourselves, and then, in the light of these issues, why music used therapeutically may have particular relevance for people with autism. This is illustrated in the final section by brief case studies of individual music therapy work with children with autism.
