Sure things didn’t work the last time, or the time before that, or even the time before that…”but things are going to be different THIS time,” right? The answer is right—here are a few tips! Identify your kryptonite—if you tried to get in shape in the past and failed, it’s important to know WHY. Educate yourself on the hurdles and kryptonite that made you fail, and work on either avoiding those pitfalls or develop methods to deal with them. Clean up your diet—believe it or not, 80% of your success when it comes to getting healthy will depend on your diet—unless you are running marathons on a daily basis, you cannot outrun your fork, and you can’t out-train a bad diet. Most people fail at eating better because they try to make TOO many changes at once, their stomach freaks out and they run back to their comfort foods. Pick a food change every few weeks, and stick with it. Whether it’s eating less calories per day, drinking one less soda, eating more vegetables or cooking your own meal once a week...small changes can lead to big successes in the long run. Find an activity that makes you happy, and do it all the time—Maybe you like yoga, or dodgeball, or Ultimate Frisbee, or rock climbing, or whatever! DO IT! We’re genetically designed to BE ACTIVE—If you don’t like to move, then it’s time to try new things until you find something that you DO like. Sign up for a new class, join your company’s running club for a day, try out something in your living room, just keep trying new stuff until you find something that you like. And then do it as often as you can. Exercising regularly will help you build muscle, strengthen your heart, lose wright, increase your endurance, stamina, and / or flexibility. On top of that, regular exercise keeps your mind thinking healthy, which in turn will keep your stomach thinking healthy, which will cause your mouth to continue eating healthy foods. Put it all together: These are the steps you can take today: Determine your goals or habits you want to establish. Write them down and hang them up. Determine why you failed in the past and how you can avoid it in the future. Start cleaning up your diet in whatever method works best for you. Pick an activity that makes you happy, and do it. A Lot. V OLUME 1 , I SSUE 3 P AGE 5 Twenty Dollars A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked. “Who would like this $20 bill?” Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you - but first, let me do this.” He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air. “Well,” he replied, “what if I do this?” He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. “Now, who still wants it?” Still the hands went into the air. “My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by...WHO WE ARE.

  • Into the Eye of the Storm Destruction
    tain” overwhelmed by a storm, who eventually dis - covers that “to oppose the storm meant preeminent Into the Eye of the Storm destruction. So he took the opposite course and headed the vessel right into the storm and finally reached the center where it was still and peaceful.” Collins equates this tranquil center with what she calls the “Eye of God”—but it serves just as well as a symbol of her intuitive professional strategy. In an interview in the Seattle Times not included in this book, Collins said of her family, “We didn’t consider ourselves black. … We were well-aware of how black people were treated, but we didn’t bow to that treatment. We didn’t have to overcome inferiority. We had to overcome arrogance.” Desirous of education and stability, committed to excellence in every pursuit, the extended Collins-de Lavallade family paired a remarkable self- confidence with a conviction that dates back at least as far as Anna Julia Cooper’s assertion in 1892 that a woman’s “quiet undisputed dignity…without suing or special patronage” could, by dint of example, elevate the “Negro race.” anet Collins was born in New Orleans in 1917 and brought up in southern California in a Jclose-knit extended family in which, she writes, “We were all encouraged to follow our natural endowments.” Her first ballet teacher was a neighbor, Louise Beverly, who seems to have had some association with Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn’s Denishawn modern dance company, indicated in part by the fact that the young Collins was taught a version of the company’s “exotic” East Indian “nautch” dance.

  • DANCE for a CITY: FIFTY YEARS of the NEW YORK CITY BALLET New-York Historical Society Exhibition Curated by Lynn Garafola April 20 - August 15, 1999
    DANCE FOR A CITY: FIFTY YEARS OF THE NEW YORK CITY BALLET New-York Historical Society Exhibition Curated by Lynn Garafola April 20 - August 15, 1999 The labels, wall texts, and reflections complement the volume Dance for a City: Fifty Years of the New York City Ballet published by Columbia University Press in 1999. Edited by Lynn Garafola, with Eric Foner, and including essays by Thomas Bender, Sally Banes, Charles M. Joseph, Richard Sennett, Jonathan Weinberg, and Nancy Reynolds, the book, unlike most exhibition catalogues, does not include a checklist. In revisiting this material, I wanted to evoke the experience of walking through six large galleries on the ground floor of the New-York Historical Society, with the reader enjoying by suggestion and as an act of imagination the numerous objects on display tracing the long history of the New York City Ballet. As I prepare this for publication on the Columbia University Academic Commons nearly two decades after the exhibition was dismantled, I thank once again the many lenders who made it possible. I also remain deeply grateful to the exhibition designer, Stephen Saitas, for his guidance and for creating an installation of haunting beauty.—Lynn Garafola Introductory Text Founded in 1948 by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein, the New York City Ballet is universally recognized as one of the world's outstanding dance companies. This exhibition traces its development both as an artistic and social entity. The story begins with the fateful encounter of the two men in 1933, when Kirstein, an arts maverick and patron extraordinaire, invited the twenty-nine-year-old Russian-born choreographer to establish a company and a school in the United States.

The performances are part of a limited engagement tour, which will visit only 412.363.3000 x 310 nine cities. [email protected] As I Remember It was written by Carmen de Lavallade and playwright/dramaturg Talvin Wilks, and is directed by Joe Grifasi. It premiered this past June at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. As I Remember It combines dance with storytelling and video, tracing de Lavallade’s extraordinary career through more than six decades. An aspiring dancer from a young age, Carmen de Lavallade (now 83) was greatly influenced by her cousin Janet Collins, who became the first African American prima ballerina for the Metropolitan Opera in the early 1950s. After graduating high school, Ms. de Lavallade received a scholarship to study dance with Lester Horton and was a member of Lester Horton Dance Theater before moving to New York City in 1954. Two years later, de Lavallade succeeded Collins as prima ballerina at the Metropolitan Opera. In high school, de Lavallade was friends with now dance icon Alvin Ailey.

  • Katherine Dunham and the Politics of Dance
    Choreographing a New World: Katherine Dunham and the Politics of Dance Joanna Dee Das Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 ! 2014 Joanna Dee Das All rights reserved ABSTRACT Choreographing a New World: Katherine Dunham and the Politics of Dance Joanna Dee Das This dissertation analyzes the intellectual and political contributions of choreographer Katherine Dunham (1909-2006). As an African American woman, Dunham broke several barriers of race and gender, first as an anthropologist conducting ethnographic fieldwork in the Caribbean in the 1930s, and second as the artistic director of a major dance company that toured the United States, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Australia from the 1930s through the 1960s. She also wrote several scholarly books and articles, opened multiple schools, and served on the boards of numerous arts organizations. Although Dunham’s contributions to anthropology and dance are vitally important, “Choreographing a New World” emphasizes her political engagement. Through actions both onstage and off, she helped strengthen the transnational ties of black social movements from the New Negro Movement to the Black Power Movement. In particular, the dissertation contends that Dunham made dance one of the primary forces in the creation and perpetuation of the African diaspora. She herself attempted to live diaspora by forging personal connections across racial, linguistic, national, class, and cultural borders. In order to shift the focus to Dunham’s intellectual and political engagement, “Choreographing a New World” turns to previously untapped archival sources. This dissertation is the first scholarly work on Dunham to examine archives from the U.S.
