PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT and GOALS
The most significant development with teaching, research and service was the on-line web move. I had to learn new (HTML) language and several graphic programs. The process is not completed, but use Websites for classes since summer of 1998. Film Club has several pages, including new screen-writers workshop board. I use the Film site for teaching two Summer Fine
Arts Camp film classes (1998).
I. RUSSIAN AMERICAN THEATRE PROGRAM
Enormous energy was invested into the development of the International program RAT (Russian American Theatre). For more details see Fulbright Report. This program came to an
end after the 3rd RAT conference at the New York University in 1994 (Two previous conferences were in St. Petersburg, Russia -- Summers of 1992 and 1993). Lack of support from UAF administration and the difficult conditions in Russia made it impossible to continue the
project. After two years in St. Petersburg and Moscow with my family, I was personally burned out. The program was production oriented (see RAT Report) and from 1995 on, I tried to
redirect it into my own research/creative activities (plays, articles, book).
II. FILM PROGRAM
Film minor was instituted at UAF with the participation of JB and English departments. Sine 1998 Theatre Department offers BA in Theatre with the Film Studies emphases. Due to continuous lack of funds the program has had a difficult start (no equipment for production and editing). Film-making classes use the Library Studio and Impact editing room. Nevertheless, the
UAF Film Club is in its second year of existence and is planning together with the Theatre Department, its 2nd Fairbanks Film Festival in the Spring of 1999. Last year awards were
presented to student-directed short films and the screen-writing competition is opened for 1999. We continue our monthly public film screening and discussions.
III. THEATRE DEPARTMENT
Our department was one of the most hard hit by the budget cuts, we lost almost half of our operational money. It had a big impact on our season and productions. In addition to losing
Russian American Theatre Program, the Tuma program dried out. We still have no designer, nor perspectives of restoring the Guest-Artist program. The spring co-production of operas with the
Music department came out of necessity to preserve main stage shows (I direct “The Mikado” in the Spring of 1999). The Film program and on-line classes are the new development under the current financial circumstances.
IV. DIRECTIONS OF MY RESEARCH/INTERESTS
For both Film and Theatre fields, I continue to study major postmodern theories and their applications (Foucault, Badrillard, Virilio and Deleuze). Textbooks for upper division classes are
missing this segment with the thirty years of the most recent intellectual trends. Social and aesthetic post-modernist ideas are important in teaching drama analysis, directing and film.
Twenty years from now, when our students will function professionally, those controversial thoughts would be a part of the past; very much like semiotics, structuralism or deconstruction theories today. Sept. 1998

Second, the writing. I am engaged in writing not only plays and non-fiction, but also textbooks. Especially, on Directing & Acting and Film Theory. I see the Web publishing as a first step in developing those projects. For Dramatic Literature/Play script Analysis classes online are very possible. Electronic Film and Stage Directing courses are a challenging proposition. I expect to finish it during the next academic year.
