FY14 Tappin' Study Guide
Student Matinee Series Maurice Hines is Tappin’ Thru Life Study Guide Created by Miller Grove High School Drama Class of Joyce Scott As part of the Alliance Theatre Institute for Educators and Teaching Artists’ Dramaturgy by Students Under the guidance of Teaching Artist Barry Stewart Mann Maurice Hines is Tappin’ Thru Life was produced at the Arena Theatre in Washington, DC, from Nov. 15 to Dec. 29, 2013 The Alliance Theatre Production runs from April 2 to May 4, 2014 The production will travel to Beverly Hills, California from May 9-24, 2014, and to the Cleveland Playhouse from May 30 to June 29, 2014. Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is . -

The 11thannual San Francisco Dance Film Festival presents a lineup that reflects this unique moment as well as providing new insights to stories about people and places we thought we knew. Dance Film SF announces programming for its 11th annual San Francisco Dance Film Festival (SFDFF). The complete festival lineup of 12 programs will be presented on Marquee TV, an international performing-arts streaming service along with Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco which will provide an opportunity, over an extended period during the festival, to experience two of the programs as live screening events. The festival opens with UPROOTED - THE JOURNEY OF JAZZ featuring Debbie Allen. The film by Khadifa Wong presents a colorful and rich examination of jazz dance and of America itself and sets up the other documentaries that trace the history and trajectory of jazz dance, from African tribal dances in BEYOND MY STEPS and into the lives of two prolific and influential dancer/choreographers Gwen Verdon and Maurice Hines. SFDFF Founder/Director of Programming Greta Schoenberg says, “These films launch an important conversation about the pressing need for us all to rethink our collective understanding of dance history.” Other feature length works include a full live performance capture of Crystal Pite and Jonathon Young’s new stage work REVISOR and the soul-searching poetic film TOM by Wilkie Branson who blends dance, animation and cutting-edge technologies to poignantly reflect today’s mood. -

Maurice Hines: Bring Them Back – Documentary Film
Maurice Hines: Bring Them Back Press Notes Publicity Contact: Tracy E. Hopkins Email: [email protected] Running time: 93 mins Logline An outspoken and overlooked elder entertainer navigates the highs and lows of his showbiz career, and a complex relationship with his superstar brother. Synopsis Maurice Hines: Bring Them Back is a portrait of the charismatic song-and-dance man from his tap-dancing childhood to today. Maurice and friends—Chita Rivera, Mercedes Ellington and Debbie Allen tell tales from his seven-decade career, including Broadway shows, Hollywood films like Francis Ford Coppola’s The Cotton Club and about his loving yet difficult relationship with superstar brother Gregory Hines. Ever battling the challenges of being a gay, black man in showbiz, Maurice shares his story with humor and grace. The documentary magically intercuts archival flashbacks with present-day Maurice, from age 73 to 75. Captured are explosive bursts of tap, comedic moments, and a palpable loneliness as he grapples with growing older without his younger brother by his side. Maurice, however, is anchored by the love and support of his family and friends. Director's Statement Creative partnerships are difficult. They are more difficult when working with family. They are even more difficult when you are in the public eye. I am especially drawn to telling this heightened story about brotherly love and the uneasiness of being estranged from a sibling. The personal and professional dynamic between Maurice and Gregory mirrors challenges I have faced with my younger brother, with whom I once made films. Maurice has said, “I didn’t always respect Gregory, but I never once stopped loving him.” This challenging gray area is what I desire to offer insight into. -
