It does not attempt to be a detailed reference of the technology. It is, rather, an overview of the technolo- gy, offering additional sources that you can consult for more detailed information. This should help edu- cators find the appropriate equipment and software for any specific application. The book also serves as a starting point for many educators who know nothing of the technology, and assists you in deciding wheth- er this technology is worth pursuing as an education- al tool in your specific situation. The listings of equipment and software contained here are the result of a search of the listed publica- tions, plus attendance at professional conferences. Al- though there may be other products available that are not included in this handbook, the listings nonethe- less reflect a good portion of the videodisc-related products available today. Because of the fast pace of the industry, many of the prices quoted here may have changed by the time this book is distributed. The prices listed do, however, still provide a good in- dication of the general price range of specific items. The products listed are all for use with NTSC (Ameri- can) standard television equipment unless otherwise specified.

  • Mikhail Baryshnikov Exhibitions
    Mikhail Baryshnikov Aside from being renown as a dancer, Mikhail Baryshnikov has practiced photography for over 30 years and is now also known for his dance photography. His photographs capture the emotions of dance, they are full of vitality, rich colour, movement and grace. He effectively blurs movement portraying the dancers as somewhat alien or angelic. Despite having retired as a dancer himself, Baryshnikov explains that he is still a dancer in his mind and continues dancing through the images he captures. His process of photography involves being on stage with dancers. This closeness gives the photographs intimacy and insight; Baryshnikov’s lens is near enough to the movement to reveal its subtlety.

  • The San Francisco Bay Area, California
    The San Francisco Bay Area, Can disaster be a good thing for the arts? In the California San Francisco Bay Area, the answer is a qualified “yes.” A terrible earthquake has shaken loose mil- lions of dollars for the arts, while urban sprawl has boosted the development of arts centers right in the communities where people live. After the Loma Prieta earthquake struck in 1989, many key institutions were declared unsafe and had to be closed, fixed and primped. Here’s what reopened in the past five years alone: American Conservatory Theatre (ACT), the city’s major repertory theater, for $27 million; the War Memorial Opera House, home of the San Francisco Opera and Ballet, for $88 million; and on the fine arts front, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, for $40 million; and the Cantor Center for the Visual Arts at Stanford University, for $37 million. Another $130 million is being raised to rebuild the seismically crippled M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, and at least $30 million is being sought to repair the Berkeley Art Museum. Within San Francisco itself, a vital visual arts center has been forged just within the last five years with the opening of the new $62 million San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Meanwhile the Jewish Museum, the Asian Art Museum, the Mexican Museum and a new African-American cultural center all plan to move to seismically safe buildings in the area in the next two years. Art galleries, on the other hand, limp along compared with those in Los Angeles or New York.

  • The Reinvention of Baryshnikov 96
    Daily Telegraph Aug 10 1996 He was the greatest dancer in the world. Now at 48 he is preparing to return to the London stage. Ismene Brown met him in New York The reinvention of Baryshnikov Photo Ferdinando Scianna/Magnum "Just to watch the Kirov company was like going to church, having a holy experience... when life was miserable the magic of dance was overwhelming" THERE wasn’t a pair of white ballet tights discarded in the gutter as we passed but there might as well have been - all the other symbols were in place. Coming into New York, there were skyscrapers ahead, and to my right a gigantic municipal cemetery, acre upon acre of tombstones. Even the building in which Mikhail Baryshnikov has his office is the Time-Life tower. The passage of time is always cruel to dancers, but never crueller than to the skyscrapers. All dancers know that their career is fugitive, but those who soar above the others have further to fall, and moreover they are flattered into believing that they have a special invincibility not accorded to lesser performers. Who dares tell them when time is up? Or is there another way? Up on the sixth floor, in a hushed, pale place more art gallery than office, a slight, lined man with blue headlights for eyes and a flat, warning voice walked into the room to meet me. “He was the greatest male dancer on the planet. His talent was beyond superlatives. He vaulted into the air with no apparent preparation; he was literally a motion picture.
