Students in grades 4-7 at MacFarland Middle School and grades 10-12 at Bell Multicultural School (many of whom come from, or have parents who come from, Africa, Central and South America, and the Caribbean) drew on their experiences and imaginations, working in small groups to compose monologues, dialogues, scenes, poems, and songs. Their writings became the basis of African Roots/Latino Soul. Funded by the Smithsonian Latino Center, African Roots/Latino Soul is the second Discovery Theater production to be written by students, with the guidance of some highly talented teaching artists. The first was Retratos: Portraits of our World, developed the methods of engagements in partnership with YPT and the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, in conjunction with the traveling exhibition Retratos: 2,000 Years of Latin American Portraits.

  • Shirley Temple Black
    9/5/2016 NATAS / "Off Camera" / March 2014 March 2014 Editor's Note Dedicated to Shirley Temple Black... In the 1930s, she was the little shining star that our great nation needed to pull itself out of the throes of the Great Depression. Americans flocked to the movies to be cheered up by the little girl with the golden corkscrew curls and bubbly, effervescent personality. But, as we all know, Shirley Temple was not a "little star". By the time she was 3 years old, she was making movies in Hollywood. Very soon after that, Little Miss Miracle would become Hollywood's most-famous child star ever -- a big star that shined brightly for the rest of her life. With her passing last month at the age of 85, it is a very sad time for the San Francisco/Northern California Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Shirley Temple Black was a longtime San Francisco Bay Area resident who was a dedicated, wonderfully-involved member and supporter of our Chapter for five decades. Nearly 20 years ago, our Chapter inducted her into the Silver Circle to recognize her many significant contributions to the television industry. In addition to the world claiming her as its own during the height of her movie career, we are proud to say that Shirley was one of us in the Chapter, our most famous member ever. We at Off Camera are dedicating this month's issue to Shirley's memory. In this issue, you can read about her career as an actress and U.S.

  • TV Formats in Europe
    TV Formats in Europe Given the prolonged advertising recession and the fact that several major titles have peaked, the TV formats market in Europe is showing remarkable resilience. The value created by the top 100 formats was $2,931 million in 2013 for 84 European channels across the 16 territories and 21 distributors, according to the TV Formats in Europe report. The 2013 figure was 3.3% down on the 2012 total, but up on 2011. The number of hours broadcast reached 28,386 in 2013, nearly the same as 2012. The UK is the TV formats leader in Europe – just ahead of France. The value created by formats for UK broadcasters was $600 million in 2013, down from $677 million in 2012. France recorded $599 million in 2013, up from $547 million in 2012. The UK, France, Germany and Italy accounted for 72% of Europe’s total value created in 2013. The top 10 broadcasters accounted for two-thirds of the total value created in Europe for 2013 – which means that the remaining third was shared by 74 channels. France’s TF1 ($332 million) led the pack again, followed by Italy’s Rai 1 and the UK’s BBC1. The total number of hours broadcast in Europe for the 100 formats was 28,386 in 2013; very close to 2012. The UK was the leader again, despite its 2013 total (3,935) being considerably lower than in 2012 (4,623). Romania took third place, having added 645 hours to its total in 2013. Published in March 2014, this 146-page, PDF-delivered report covers 100 major formats on 84 channels across 16 European territories; with extensive comparison tables.

(“Don’t put your hand in the candle wax!” “Only the wicks go into the hot candle wax.”) 4. Use other YOKE Folk to act out right and wrong ways of completing a task. Have the kids repeat the rules in shorthand versions or with one word for each rule. 5. Start with excitement! Have the most energetic, fun games at the beginning then decrease the energy level to lead to a more serious atmosphere for the Talk. 6. Change things up. The games in Club in a Box are mixed up and not repeated. Don’t play the same games week after week. 7. Always have a backup plan or extra games.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

  • Conclusion: Popular Music, Aesthetic Value, and Materiality
    CONCLUSION: POPULAR MUSIC, AESTHETIC VALUE, AND MATERIALITY Popular music has been accused of being formulaic, homogeneous, man- ufactured, trite, vulgar, trivial, ephemeral, and so on. These condemna- tions have roots in aspects of the Western aesthetic tradition, especially its modernist and expressivist branches, according to which great art innovates, breaks and re-makes the rules, expresses the artist’s personal vision or unique emotions, or all these. Popular music has its defenders. But they have tended to appeal to the same inherited aesthetic criteria, defending some branches of popular music at the expense of others― valorising its artistic, expressive, innovative, or authentic branches against mere ‘pop’. These evaluations are problematic, because they presuppose all along a set of criteria that are slanted against the popular fi eld. We therefore need new frameworks for the evaluation of popular music. These frameworks need to enable us to evaluate pieces of popular music by the standards proper to this particular cultural form―to judge how well these pieces work as popular music, not how successfully they rise above the popular condition. To devise such frameworks we need an account of popular music’s standard features and of the further organising qualities and typical val- ues to which these features give rise. Popular music normally has four layers of sound―melody, chords, bass, and percussion―and each layer is normally made up of repetitions of short elements, these repeti- tions being aligned temporally with one another, with whole sections of repeated material then being repeated in turn to constitute song sections. © The Author(s) 2016 249 A.
