According to historian Daniel Boorstin, we demand the mass media’s simulated realities because they fulfill our insatiable desire for glamour and excitement. To cultural commentator Richard Schickel, they create an “illusion of intimacy,” a sense of security and connection in a society of strangers. Ian Mitroff and Warren Bennis have gone as far as to claim that Americans are living in a self-induced state of unreality. “We are now so close to creating electronic images of any existing or imaginary person, place, or thing . so that a viewer cannot tell whether ...theimagesare real or not,” they wrote in 1989. At the root of this passion for images, they claim, is a desire for stability and control: “If men cannot control the realities with which they are faced, then they will invent unrealities over which they can maintain control.” In other words, according to these authors, we seek and create aural and visual illusions—television, movies, recorded music, computers—because they compensate for the inadequacies of contemporary society.

  • In 1925, Eight Actors Were Dedicated to a Dream. Expatriated from Their Broadway Haunts by Constant Film Commitments, They Wante
    In 1925, eight actors were dedicated to a dream. Expatriated from their Broadway haunts by constant film commitments, they wanted to form a club here in Hollywood; a private place of rendezvous, where they could fraternize at any time. Their first organizational powwow was held at the home of Robert Edeson on April 19th. ”This shall be a theatrical club of love, loy- alty, and laughter!” finalized Edeson. Then, proposing a toast, he declared, “To the Masquers!

It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract This thesis considers the perceived athleticism of synchronized swimming by looking at the implications of representations of Esther Williams and "pretty swimming" in popular culture, the allocation of space for women's sport in a local public swimming pool, and an inaugural championship event. Focusing on the first British Columbia (BC) synchronized swimming championships, which were held on February 5, 1949 at Crystal Pool in Vancouver, it shows that images of synchronized swimming as "entertainment" facilitated the development of a new arena of competition for BC women, but that this was accompanied, in effect, by a trivialization of the accomplishments of organizers and athletes.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Breaking Barriers: How Swimwear Paved the Way for Women's Rights
    Breaking Barriers: How Swimwear Paved the Way for Women's Rights Auden Ho, Annika Houghton, Eden Smith Junior Division Group Performance Process Paper: 499 words Ho, Houghton, Smith 2 Process Paper We are a group of girls who surf, swim, do water sports, go to the beach, and we live on an island in the ocean--swimwear is a big part of our lives! So when one of us came across a book on Annette Kellerman, The Mermaid Queen, we were interested. As we studied, we learned ​ ​ about women who broke barriers by designing their own swimwear in order to swim competitively and freely, despite public disapproval. We feel that our topic,“How Swimwear Paved the Way for Women’s Rights,” is important because these women helped prepare society for change in women’s opportunities a century ago--a topic that continues to be a concern even today. We borrowed books and looked for information at our state library on topics such as women’s fashion, swimwear, and the three main characters of our performance--Annette Kellerman, who pioneered women’s first competitive swimwear; Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel; and Bianca Valenti, widely considered to be the best female big wave surfer in the U.S. We used the citations at the end of our books to find websites and primary sources to research and add to our script. We also used websites about Valenti’s fight for equality in women’s surfing. We created a script and updated it as we learned more. We decided to do a performance because we were inspired by last year's performances from our school.

  • A Variety of Sources Were Consulted to Write This Book, Including Websites, Books, Lectures, Newspa- Pers, and Videos. Susan
    A variety of sources were consulted to write this book, including websites, books, lectures, newspa- pers, and videos. Susan Hood also had conversations with museum and library experts and inter- viewed some of the subjects. You can find many of the women in the book profiled here: Biography: biography.com Encyclopedia Britannica: Britannica.com MAKERS, the largest video collection of women’s stories: makers.com National Women’s Hall of Fame: womenofthehall.org National Women’s History Museum: nwhm.org Molly Williams kindled a radical idea—that women were strong and brave enough to fight fires. Note: Primary sources were used to correct the many errors circulating on the internet about Molly. For example, some say the famous snowstorm was the Blizzard of 1818, but Molly would have been seventy-one by then; the actual date is probably in the early 1780s. www.nycfiremuseum.org Sources are conflicted about whether Molly was an indentured servant or a slave. NewYork City Fire Museum records show she arrived in New York City as an indentured servant, where she married a slave. Many assume that would affect her status, but according to Dr. Leslie Harris, co-editor of Slavery in New York, there was no NY law enslaving spouses through marriage in the 1780s. Sources: “As good a fire laddie as many of the boys who . bragged at being such.”: Dennis Smith’s History of Firefighting in America (Doubleday, 1980) Given the time period, most of what we know about Molly comes from researching her husband, Peter Williams Sr., who formed the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church in 1796.

  • Gotta Sing! Gotta Dance! the MGM Musical at BFI Southbank
    PRESS RELEASE: Updated November 2011 11/51 Gotta Sing! Gotta Dance! The MGM Musical at BFI Southbank With special guests including: Debbie Reynolds, Leslie Caron, John Wilson, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies The wonderful world of the MGM Musical will be celebrated at BFI Southbank throughout November and December. From composers such as Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, choreographers and actors including Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire to the greatest musical singing and dancing stars including Judy Garland, Ann Miller and Cyd Charisse - they will all be presented in their full glory on the big screen. Many musicals will screen in newly restored prints and there will be some very special guests and events, including Debbie Reynolds and Leslie Caron, each discussing their remarkable careers, and John Wilson providing insight to the scores of MGM musicals and his orchestrations of them. As a centrepiece of this season, BFI Distribution will release two of the most dazzling titles – An American in Paris (1952) and Meet Me in St Louis (1944) - nationwide and each will screen in an Extended Run at BFI Southbank. This instalment will conclude with a very rare outing for Ken Russell’s The Boy Friend (1971), a comic pastiche of the roaring 1920s starring Twiggy, accompanied by a Q&A with the director and Barbara Windsor. This exuberant selection of MGM Musicals season will also herald an ongoing tribute to the musical genre from the BFI, throughout the next three years. This golden era of Hollywood song and dance will begin with fare from the dazzling 1930s.
