    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Dafina McMillan July 25, 2011 [email protected] 212-609-5955 New from TCG Books: Oh, Wild West! by Culture Clash NEW YORK, NY – Theatre Communications Group (TCG) is pleased to announce the publication of Oh, Wild West!, Culture Clash’s new trio of plays that rewrites California’s past. For more than twenty-five years, this award-winning trio – Richard Montoya, Ric Salinas and Herbert Siguenza – has been storming the nation’s stages with their unique blend of hilarious comedy and shrewdly observed social satire, becoming the most prominent Chicano/Latino performance troupe in the U.S. This latest anthology includes a preface by Richard Montoya and introduction by Tony Taccone, as well as an interview with Culture Clash by John Glore. “This brilliant team of writer/performers offers artful, intelligent work that deserves the rap attention of large and diverse audiences.” – Backstage West In Oh, Wild West!, Culture Clash interweaves pop culture with their home state’s local history. Chavez Ravine covers the land grab that uprooted an entire community to build Dodger Stadium; Water & Power focuses on the assimilation of Chicanos and their rise to political influence and Zorro in Hell! reimagines early California through the eyes of the original masked man. “Sharp, cutting and on the edge” (Los Angeles Times), Culture Clash applies its signature irreverent comic style to an exploration of the American obsession with Westward Expansion that rings particularly true today. As Salinas states, “These plays have a specific voice of race and culture that will engage dialogue because of the continual shift of landscape of this subject…Our plays want to engage the reader by examining our historical past –not always accurate in history books– in order to know where our collective Latino pulse is today.” “Fans of Culture Clash’s Chicano-inflected, spoken-word-erupting performance art needn’t worry that they’ve lost sight of their significant gifts.

  • Viewed One of the First “Films Parlants” in 1930 in London
    FROM GOLDEN AGE TO SILVER SCREEN: FRENCH MUSIC-HALL CINEMA FROM 1930-1950 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebecca H. Bias, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Judith Mayne, Advisor Professor Diane Birckbichler _________________________ Advisor Professor Charles D. Minahen Graduate Program in French and Italian Copyright by Rebecca H. Bias 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines French music-hall cinema from 1930-1950. The term “music-hall cinema” applies to films that contain any or all of the following: music-hall performers, venues, mise en scène, revues, and music- hall songs or repertoire. The cinema industry in France owes a great debt to the music-hall industry, as the first short films near the turn of the century were actually shown as music-hall acts in popular halls. Nonetheless, the ultimate demise of the music hall was in part due to the growing popularity of cinema. Through close readings of individual films, the dynamics of music-hall films will be related to the relevant historical and cultural notions of the period. The music-hall motif will be examined on its own terms, but also in relation to the context or genre that underlies each particular film. The music-hall motif in films relies overwhelmingly on female performers and relevant feminist film theory of the 1970s will help support the analysis of female performance, exhibition, and relevant questions of spectatorship. Music-hall cinema is an important motif in French film, and the female performer serves as the prominent foundation in these films.

  • Jazz, Race, and Gender in Interwar Paris
    1 CROSSING THE POND: JAZZ, RACE, AND GENDER IN INTERWAR PARIS A dissertation presented by Rachel Anne Gillett to The Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of History Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts May, 2010 2 CROSSING THE POND: JAZZ, RACE, AND GENDER IN INTERWAR PARIS by Rachel Anne Gillett Between 1920 and 1939 the nightclubs of Montmartre became a venue where different nationalities came into contact, danced, talked, and took advantage of the freedom to cross the color line that Paris and the ―color-blind‖ French audience seemed to offer. The fascination for black performers known as the tumulte noir provided the occasion for hundreds of jazz and blues performers to migrate to Paris in these years. French society was inundated with the sounds of jazz and also with images and stereotypes of jazz performers that often contained primitivist, exotic and sexualized associations. The popularity of jazz and its characterization as ―black‖ music raised the question of how the French state dealt with racial difference. It caused consternation among „non- jazz‟ black men and women throughout the Francophone Atlantic many of whom were engaged in constructing an intellectual pan-Africanist discourse with a view to achieving full citizenship and respect for French colonial subjects. This manuscript examines the tension between French ideals of equality, and „color-blindness,‟ and the actual experiences of black men and women in Paris between the wars. Although officially operating within the framework of a color-blind Republican model, France has faced acute dilemmas about how to deal with racial and ethnic differences that continue to spark debate and controversy.
