Discussion about this case\, larger issues of free speech and social media it raises\, and the workings of the US Supreme court to follow. \nPresented in partnership with Vermont Law and Graduate School and Lebanon High School\, this event is free\, open to the public\, and will be recorded by JAM.  Please RSVP below. \nTHE FIRST AMENDMENT AND THE TIKTOK BAN: \nA MOOT COURT EXERCISE \nI. Overview \nIn 2024 Congress passed the “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary\nControlled Application Act\,” often popularly referred to as the “TikTok Ban.”\nTikTok is a short-form video hosting service owned by the Chinese internet\ncompany ByteDance. The Act designates the People’s Republic of China as a\n“foreign adversary” nation. The Act requires ByteDance to divest TikTok\, so that\nTikTok is no longer owned and controlled by a Chinese company. If TikTok is not\ndivested\, it will no longer be permitted to operate in the United States.\nTikTok and ByteDance\, joined by several American creators\, persons who\npost creative content on TikTok\, filed a federal lawsuit claiming that the Act\nviolated the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of speech.\nIn this exercise the audience will hear an oral argument on the\nconstitutionality of the TikTok ban. Audience members will serve as members of\nthe United States Supreme Court. Rod Smolla\, President of Vermont Law and\nGraduate School\, will first play the role of a lawyer representing TikTok\, attacking\nthe TikTok Ban\, and then play the role of a lawyer representing the United States\,\ndefending the TikTok Ban. The audience members playing the roles of Supreme\nCourt Justices will be invited to interrupt and question both lawyer-advocates.\nFollowing the arguments the audience members will be invited to explain why they\nbelieve the Ban should or should not be upheld\, followed by an audience vote on\nthe outcome. \n\n \n  \n \nAbout Rodney A. Smolla\, JD\, President\, Vermont Law and Graduate School: \nPreviously president of Furman University\, and dean at Washington and Lee University and University of Richmond law schools\, Professor Smolla has long been a strong advocate for experiential learning\, the development of professional competencies\, and civic engagement. The author of more than 100 articles published in law reviews and other publications\, he is a nationally known scholar on matters relating to constitutional law\, civil rights\, freedom of speech\, and mass media\, particularly matters relating to libel and privacy.  Learn more. \n  \nABOUT MEDIATED LIVES\nThis event is part of JAM’s “Mediated Lives” series which aims to explore the roll of our current media landscape in shaping American culture\, free speech\, creativity\, community\, and democracy.

Each movement invites a different group of artists to experiment with a fluid vision of performance\, utilizing their range of expertise and individuality in the service of enacting her improvisational and choreographic structures. Novel Formats #2: The Set Up uses the dynamic of three as its defining structure to explore synthesis\, harmony\, and discord within the construct of an interdisciplinary performing ensemble. \nMany of Rachel Bernsen’s projects are investigations in collaboration and improvisation. Her series\, Novel Formats #1-7\,  is a set of seven performance events\, each prompted by the desire to rethink the understanding of and experience with improvisation as a form of performance and explore the boundaries between real time decision making and overt theatricality. \nEach installment asks the question: what happens when we come together in different social configurations\, each with its own possibilities for improvisation and contact? Improvisation asks us to notice what we’re doing in the moment\, to question learned and internalized value systems. We think our senses are right and true but so much is learned\, habitual. Novel Formats aims to interrupt these patterns through novelty\, risk\, and real time human connection.\n\n$5-10 recommended donation.\n\n\nFEATURING\nEllen Smith Ahern – dancer  https://ellensmithahern.com/ \n \nJulian Barnett – dancer  https://www.julianbarnett.com/ \n \nRachel Bernsen – dancer/director/instigator  https://rachelbernsen.com/ \n \nKyoko Kitamura – vocalizer\, keyboards  https://www.kyokokitamura.com/ \n \nMac Waters – electronics\, violist  https://macwaters.studio/ \n \nWATCH NOVEL FORMATS: A DIALOGUE (NUMBER ONE)\n \nAbout A Dialogue (number one) URL:https://uvjam.org/event/novel-formats-2-the-set-up/ LOCATION:JAM – Junction Arts & Media\, 5 S Main St\, White River Junction\, VT\, 05001\, United States CATEGORIES:Past Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uvjam.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/KAB_2830-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241004T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241004T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T135938 CREATED:20240808T162845Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241019T200258Z UID:10001027-1728057600-1728072000@uvjam.org SUMMARY:TWIST: TWIn STate Comics and Zine Fair 2024 DESCRIPTION:First Friday of October\, TWIST returns for its third year running!

No violence is ever portrayed on stage and collaborators Arlo Hastings and Seth Kelly put in months of research ahead of writing “377” with the goal of making the play as accurate as possible. \nSarlo Productions were advised by Lebanon High School Choral Music and Theater Arts Teacher\, Emma Cooke. “377” was created as part of a JAM High School Media Fellowship under the guidance of JAM technical director and senior producer\, Chico Eastridge. \n \n“377” cast and crew\nABOUT SARLO PRODUCTIONS\nArlo Hastings is a rising senior at Lebanon High School (LHS) and is the co-writer\, director\, and producer of “377.”  They have performed in many LHS Wet Paint Players productions\, including Eurydice\, as Orpheus\, and Merrily We Roll Along\, as Mary. Arlo is so proud of the cast for taking on this heavy play and bringing this script to life.  \n“We wrote this show because we had an opportunity to write and produce under the guidance of Emma Cooke\, and we realized that we could make a difference. We had a platform to share the voice of not just us but thousands of students across the nation. I hope that people take this show as a genuine plea for action.” – Arlo \nSeth Kelly\, a rising senior at Lebanon High School (LHS)\, is the co-writer\, director\, and producer of “377.” Most recently he played Charley Kringas in the LHS Wet Paint Players’ Merrily We Roll Along.
