better part of the past twenty years, Chad Salvata and the folks at his production company, Ethos, have been creating what they call cyberoperas. These works, set in a fantasy world and all featuring elaborate, colorful costumes and sets, have up to now all been live stage shows. But the newest installment in the Ethos canon, <em>Octia of the Pink Ocean</em>, is something different.</p> <p><em>Octia</em> is the first full-length feature film created by Ethos. Like their other works, it's an opera, set in a world of fantastical locations and characters. So why film it rather than staging it? For several reasons, according to Salvata. For one, a film will give him the opportunity to share his work with a larger audience; it'll also let him preserve it for all time. Most importanly, perhaps, creating a film and using green screen technology allows him to include sets and characters that he could never create in a stage setting.</p> <p><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140812232239if_/https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/161138616&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%"></iframe></p> <p></div> </div> </div> </div> <a href="/web/20140812232239/http://kut.org/post/octia-pink-ocean-big-screen-cyberopera" class="read-more">Read more</a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="node-10990" class="card node node-post node-promoted node-teaser node-type-post node-promoted node-teaser clearfix card-river " about="/post/older-job-seekers-texas-struggle-find-jobs-find-strength-numbers" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Article"> <div class="card-content"> <h5 class="slug">Aging </h5> <div id="published-datetime" class="clearfix"> <h5> <div class="card-time">9:05 <span class="card-ampm">am</span> </div> <div class="card-date"> Mon August 11, 2014 </div> </h5> </div> <h2 property="dc:title" datatype="" class="node-title" itemprop="name"><a href="/web/20140812232239/http://kut.org/post/older-job-seekers-texas-struggle-find-jobs-find-strength-numbers">Older Job Seekers in Texas Struggle to Find Jobs, But Find Strength in Numbers</a></h2> <div class="content"> <div class="card-image-container"> <figure> <a title="Nancy Ruiz gets her photo taken for her LinkedIn profile at a meeting of the Launch Pad job club in Austin on Aug. 6, 2014." a href="/web/20140812232239/http://kut.org/post/older-job-seekers-texas-struggle-find-jobs-find-strength-numbers" class="noexit lightbox"> <img class="single" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140812232239im_/http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/kut/files/styles/medium/public/201408/Nancy_Ruiz_job_seeker_0.JPG"> </a> <div class="image-meta"> <figcaption> Nancy Ruiz gets her photo taken for her LinkedIn profile at a meeting of the Launch Pad job club in Austin on Aug. 6, 2014. <div class="attribution"> <span class="credit">Veronica Zaragovia/KUT</span> <span class="agency"> </span> </div> </figcaption> </div> </figure> </div> <div class="card-share"> <div class="card-stat card-facebook"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140812232239/http://kutnews.org/post/older-job-seekers-texas-struggle-find-jobs-find-strength-numbers" rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_facebook" fb:like:layout="button_count" fb:like:liketext="Share" addthis:url="http://kutnews.org/post/older-job-seekers-texas-struggle-find-jobs-find-strength-numbers">Share</a> </div> <div class="card-stat card-twitter"> <div> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140812232239/http://kutnews.org/post/older-job-seekers-texas-struggle-find-jobs-find-strength-numbers" rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_twitter" addthis:url="http://kutnews.org/post/older-job-seekers-texas-struggle-find-jobs-find-strength-numbers" addthis:title="Older Job Seekers in Texas Struggle to Find Jobs, But Find Strength in Numbers">Tweet</a> </div> </div> <div class="card-stat card-googleplus"> <div> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140812232239/http://kutnews.org/post/older-job-seekers-texas-struggle-find-jobs-find-strength-numbers" rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_google_plusone" addthis:url="http://kutnews.org/post/older-job-seekers-texas-struggle-find-jobs-find-strength-numbers" g:plusone:count="false" g:plusone:size="medium"></a> </div> </div> <div class="card-stat card-email"> <a href="javascript:void(0);" rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_email" addthis:url="http://kutnews.org/post/older-job-seekers-texas-struggle-find-jobs-find-strength-numbers" addthis:title="Older Job Seekers in Texas Struggle to Find Jobs, But Find Strength in Numbers">E-mail</a> </div> <div class="card-stat card-disqus"> <a href="/web/20140812232239/http://kut.org/node/10990#disqus_thread" data-disqus-identifier="node/10990">Comments</a> </div> </div> <div class="meta"> <span class="submitted"> <span class="submitted-label">By</span> <a href="/web/20140812232239/http://kut.org/people/veronica-zaragovia" rel="author">Veronica Zaragovia</a> </span> </div> <div class="card-text"> <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden "> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Baby boomers have dominated the work force for decades, but now they’re fighting to stay in it as they live longer and can’t afford to live off of their savings in retirement.</p> <p>Older job seekers have a hard time finding jobs – even in Austin.

benefit the participants rather than an audience. In its physical form, <em>Texas Confessional </em>is a small black chapbook made up of actual anonymous confessions. These regrets are submitted online and then compiled and printed by editor/publisher Ty Harvey.</p> <p>Only 100 copies of the books are made, and they're scattered around the state for strangers to find and read. Harvey strives to place the books in places where he believes they'll be read with some consideration rather than just skimmed and set aside. If you seek one out, you're unlikely to find one (there are 100 books and a little over 26 million Texas residents, so the odds aren't in your favor), but that's kind of the point. Harvey hopes that finding a confessional will be like seeing a shooting star or spotting a four leaf clover.</p> <p><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140812232239if_/https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/161138785&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%"></iframe></p> <p></div> </div> </div> </div> <a href="/web/20140812232239/http://kut.org/post/make-and-possibly-read-texas-confessional" class="read-more">Read more</a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="node-10989" class="card node node-post node-promoted node-teaser node-type-post node-promoted node-teaser clearfix card-river " about="/post/black-america-podcast-life-happens-legendary-soul-singer-candi-staton-part-ii" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Article"> <div class="card-content"> <h5 class="slug">In Black America</h5> <div id="published-datetime" class="clearfix"> <h5> <div class="card-time">6:47 <span class="card-ampm">pm</span> </div> <div class="card-date"> Sun August 10, 2014 </div> </h5> </div> <h2 property="dc:title" datatype="" class="node-title" itemprop="name"><a href="/web/20140812232239/http://kut.org/post/black-america-podcast-life-happens-legendary-soul-singer-candi-staton-part-ii">In Black America Podcast: ‘Life Happens’ with Legendary Soul Singer Candi Staton –Part II</a></h2> <div class="content"> <div class="card-image-container"> <div class="cp-image card-image"> <div class="cp-image-single"> <a href="/web/20140812232239/http://kut.org/post/black-america-podcast-life-happens-legendary-soul-singer-candi-staton-part-ii" class="cp-image-link" rel="nofollow" caption="This week, John L.
