Thoughts from the Founding Director Past & Current Pentacle Artists Tribute to Past Pentacle Staff Board of Directors- Celebration Committee- Staff Body Wisdom: Pentacle Celebrates Forty Years Tonight’s Program & Performers Event Sponsors & Donors Greetings Welcome Thank you for joining us tonight and celebrating this 40th Anniversary! In 1976 we opened our doors with a staff of four, providing what we called “cluster management” to four companies. Our mission was then and remains today to help artists do what they do best….create works of art. We have steadfastlyprovided day-to-day administration services as well as local and national innovative projects to individual artists, companies and the broader arts community. But we did not and could not do it alone. We have had the support of literally hundreds of arts administrators, presenters, publicists, funders, and individual supporters. So tonight is a celebration of Pentacle, yes, and also a celebration of our enormously eclectic community. We want to thank all of the artists who have donated their time and energies to present their work tonight, the Rubin Museum for providing such a beautiful space, and all of you for joining us and supporting Pentacle. Welcome and enjoy the festivities! Mara Greenberg Patty Bryan Director Board Chair Thoughts from the Founding Director What is the landscape for emerging dance artists? A question addressed forty years later. There are many kinds of dance companies—repertory troupes that celebrate the dances of a country or re- gion, exquisitely trained ensembles that spotlight a particular idiom or form—classical ballet or Flamenco or Bharatanatyam, among other classicisms, and avocational troupes of a hundred sorts that proudly share the dances, often traditional, of a hundred different cultures.

  • “A True Original.” Jennifer Dunning, the New York Times
    “A True Original.” Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times Contact Chris Elam / Misnomer Dance Theater 588 10th Street, Suite 4 Brooklyn, NY 11215 917-602-0478 [email protected] Video clips & Info. www.misnomer.org Founded in 1998 by choreographer Chris Elam, Misnomer Dance Theater is a six-person modern dance company that finds hope, humor, and absurdity in peoples’ efforts to relate to one another. Whether between adolescent sisters, estranged lovers, animalistic creatures, or abstract beings, Elam devises meaningful exchanges, sometimes producing poignant and awkward tenderness, at other moments resulting in fiercely dismal misunderstandings. Elam uses physical illusions as a tool to investigate personal and group transforma- tion: an arm sprouts out of an ear, a person becomes an ostrich, five dancers appear to share a single head. Assertive contact partnering in which dancers climb upon each other to form improbable human architectures serves to fuse performers into unusual entities. With commissions in Indonesia, Cuba, Brazil, Turkey, and Suriname, Elam approaches dance from the perspectives of an ethnographer as well as a choreographer. His study of traditional dances informs the technical and conceptual complexity of his modern-minded choreography. Drawing from his extensive training in both traditional Balinese and Modern Dance, Elam’s choreography integrates the angular, quick- action style of Balinese dance with his own broken-flow modern movement. The Village Voice’s Elizabeth Zimmer writes about his invented vocabulary, “Fusion

  • Master Document National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form
    Master Document National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form The Burgess-Osborne Memorial Auditorium 1701 Wabash Avenue Mattoon, Illinois Prepared by Stephen A. Thompson Intrepid Consulting Services, Inc. April 2018 Executive Summary The following document is the master National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) nomination form submitted in a draft configuration to the Illinois State Historic Preservation Officer on 04 August 2017 for the 1953 Burgess-Osborne Memorial Auditorium (the Burgess) located at 1701 Wabash Avenue, Mattoon, Illinois. This NRHP document addresses the social and architectural significance of the Burgess and is an expansion of the 2013 Coles County List of Significant Places document generated for local landmarking of the Burgess. A related social sub-context addressed in detail in Appendix A of Section 8 is the role the Burgess played in the regional 1950s and 1960s pop music culture, with emphasis on the teen dances/concerts held at the facility and the bands that played there. The research of the associated contexts and the preparation of the nomination form were undertaken by Stephen A. Thompson of Intrepid Consulting Services, Inc., Carolyn Cloyd and Joyce St. Michael, members of the Coles County Historic Preservation Advisory Council, assisted with research and preparation of the National Register documentation. The Coles County Historic Preservation Advisory Council is an historic preservation advisory body under the Coles County Regional Planning & Development Commission, which reports to the Coles County Board. After thorough research and evaluation it has been determined that the Burgess is eligible for listing on the NRHP in that it: 1. Is locally significant under NRHP Criterion A, “…events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.” 2.

  • The Rockefeller Foundation Annual Report 2011 President’S Letter
    The Rockefeller Foundation Annual Report 2011 president’s letter. At the beginning of the second decade of the new millennium, the ground is shifting beneath us. The impacts of climate change are accelerating. The global population is growing rapidly and restlessly. Much of our work at The Rockefeller Foundation focuses on innovating to meet these 21st century challenges. As we present our 2011 Annual Report, it is worth pausing to consider a question fundamental to Rockefeller’s mission: why innovation? Sometimes, it seems a word without weight. Last year, “innovative” had the dubious distinction of being the second-most overused term in LinkedIn’s 85-million user profiles. (In my local grocery store, I’ve even seen the word applied to thin-crust frozen pizza.) But at Rockefeller, innovation is much more than a buzz- word—it is our byword, the past and future of our foundation. We have always understood that in a world of ever-increasing complexity, success goes to the non-linear, the aggregator, the connector. Solutions flow from the innovator. Innovation—what John D. Rockefeller called “scientific philanthropy”—has defined our mission for nearly a century, as Rockefeller researchers and resources created the field of public health, or launched a Green Revolution in agriculture credited with saving a billion lives. None of these advances were straightforward or predictable. They required reframing problems and recombining insights. Pioneering Rockefeller scientists, for instance, saw food security not just as a problem of agricultural science, but of economics, sociology, and psychology as well. As one of Rockefeller’s grantees once observed, “You cannot solve a problem at the same level of consciousness that created it.

  • Dance/USA's Engaging Dance Audiences Awards Over $1 Million
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Contact: October 7, 2009 Suzanne Callahan [email protected] 202-955-8325 Dance/USA’s Engaging Dance Audiences Awards over $1 Million Additional General Operating Support Stabilizes Budgets During Economic Crisis Washington, DC – October 7, 2009 – Dance/USA, the national service organization for professional, not- for-profit dance, is pleased to announce that nine organizations have been awarded funding by Engaging Dance Audiences (EDA), the first national funding program and related study of audience engagement practices focused specifically on the art form of dance. EDA was established through the generosity of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The James Irvine Foundation. Out of a rigorous national review of 179 idea submissions, 34 were invited to submit full applications, from which nine were selected by a national panel. Engaging Dance Audiences is a $1.9 million pilot program that enables Dance/USA to analyze current dance-going activities, and its members to explore and research methods of engaging audiences for dance, learn from peers, and share the learning nationally. EDA was conceived of by Dance/USA in collaboration with the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, which made a three-year, $1.5 million award. Additional support in the amount of $400,000 was granted from The James Irvine Foundation, targeted for the California component of the program. “EDA has been conceived to significantly increase the dance field’s capacity to engage audiences by implementing and documenting the most effective and forward-thinking practices,” comments Executive Director Andrea Snyder. “It proactively responds to increasing concerns throughout our membership and the dance community at large about changes in audience behavior.

  • City of Manchester Municipal Code
    THE MANCHESTER MUNICIPAL CODE Prepared by the MUNICIPAL TECHNICAL ADVISORY SERVICE INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC SERVICE THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE in cooperation with the TENNESSEE MUNICIPAL LEAGUE November 1998 Change 20 May 7, 2019 CITY OF MANCHESTER, TENNESSEE MAYOR Lonnie J. Norman VICE MAYOR Bill Nickels ALDERMEN Bob Bellamy Chris Elam Ryan P. French Marilyn Howard Mark Messick FINANCE DIRECTOR Bridget Anderson ii PREFACE The Manchester Municipal Code contains the codification and revision of the ordinances of the City of Manchester, Tennessee. By referring to the historical citation appearing at the end of each section, the user can determine the origin of each particular section. The absence of a historical citation means that the section was added by the codifier. The word "modified" in the historical citation indicates significant modification of the original ordinance. The code is arranged into titles, chapters, and sections. Related matter is kept together, so far as possible, within the same title. Each section number is complete within itself, containing the title number, the chapter number, and the section of the chapter of which it is a part. Specifically, the first digit, followed by a hyphen, identifies the title number. The second digit identifies the chapter number, and the last two digits identify the section number. For example, title 2, chapter 1, section 6, is designated as section 2-106. By utilizing the table of contents and the analysis preceding each title and chapter of the code, together with the cross references and explanations included as footnotes, the user should locate all the provisions in the code relating to any question that might arise.
