Prior to exploring FLY with your students, find out how much they already know about Tap Dance, Video Projection and WWII. Have you ever been to the theater before? What did you see? What are some rhythms you can create using only your feet and hands? Can you tell a story using only rhythm? Have you ever tried tap dancing yourself? Have you ever seen video projection used on TAP DANCE stage? Born from the the melting pot of America, tap dance fuses African tribal dancing with Scottish, Irish and English hornpipes and jigs. It’s defined How might you use video projection to assist best as a rhythmic step dance with hard-soled shoes or shoes to which in telling a story? taps have been added. This fusion first premiered in the 1820s and has since evolved into an integral part of our country’s cultural canon. To What do you know about World War II? this day, people around the globe are still wowed by the talents of the late Fred Astaire, Sammy Davis Jr. and living legend Savion Glover. In Do you know anything about the Tuskegee FLY, the character known as the Tap Griot expresses the emotion of the Airmen from World War II? If so, what? characters through his rhythm and movement, telling the inner stories of the Tuskegee Airmen. VIDEO PROJECTION While some shows have elaborate physical sets to place a scene onstage, FLY uses five screens behind the actors to transport the audience. Projection is an art form that can be used in many ways; in theater it can be a tool to illustrate setting and contextualize the action on stage. These screens not only give the audience visual context of location, but they also provide historical photographs and other information regarding WWII and the Civil Rights movement. ® THE NEW VICTORY THEATER / NEWVICTORY.ORG/SCHOOLTOOL © THE NEW 42ND STREET, INC. 7 ® HANDOUT HISTORY OF THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN The Tuskegee Airmen were the first black servicemen to serve as military aviators during WWII. Before 1940, there were no African Americans flying in the US Military due to the overtly prejudiced Jim Crow laws. However, the “Tuskegee Experiment” proved to be a catalyst for change in July 1941, when 13 individuals were recruited to train at the Tuskegee Army Air Field (TAAF) in Alabama. Five men completed the program by the following March of 1942, which entailed primary training on the ground and secondary training requiring 60 hours of flight and a solo cross-country flight. At the time, there were about 40,000 African Americans enlisted in the military. By 1945, this number had increased to 1.2 million, with black men and women serving on the homefront, in the Pacific and in Europe. Between 1942-1946, 992 pilots graduated from the TAAF, with 450 serving overseas in either the 99th Fighter Squadron or the 332nd Fighter Group. WWII exposed great hypocrisy within the United States. Many considered the Tuskegee Airmen to be fighting two wars, one against the Axis Powers of the world and one against outright racism exhibited by fellow Americans. These trailblazers changed the course of history at a time when an anti- lynching bill was voted down. “The Tuskegee Airmen served a nation not willing to serve them,” stated former Secretary of State, Colin Powell. It was their dedication and highly successful work that led to Harry Truman’s executive order in 1948 demanding equal treatment and opportunity in the US Armed Forces, ensuring that all would have a shot at earning an officer ranking regardless of their skin color. 75 years later, the sacrifices and battles fought both on the homefront and overseas by the Tuskegee Airmen continue to shape our country and politics. In 2007, then-Senator Barack Obama spoke of his career in public service and how it was “made possible by the path heroes, like the Tuskegee Airmen, trail-blazed.” Two years later, he was inaugurated as the first black president of the United States, and President Barack Obama made sure to personally invite many veteran Tuskegee Airmen to the celebration. ® INSIDE BEFORE EN ROUTE AFTER inside | FLY UNIT PLAN BRAINSTORM Check out these ideas for how to incorporate FLY into a unit plan! Then, use the specific activities from this guide that are recommended for each topic. PERSONAL STORIES/INTERVIEWS (ELA, SOCIAL STUDIES) FLY is a show inspired by the personal stories of the Tuskegee Airmen during WWII. Have your students reflect on a defining moment in their lives or their family’s lives. Then have them write a list of questions and pair up to interview each other about this defining moment. At the end of the activity, ask them to share with someone else in the class what they learned about their partner. To support this unit, refer to the Creativity Page, “What’s Your Story?” in the En Route section. ART INSPIRED BY HISTORICAL EVENTS (ELA, SOCIAL STUDIES) Though in itself a work of fiction, FLY is inspired by historical events. Ask your students to explore two works of different mediums that are inspired by the same event (for example, the movie “Red Tails”). How does a movie depict history differently than a short story or painting? How are they similar? To expand their artistic exploration vocabulary, use activities “Theatricalize the Timeline” in the Before section and “Monologue to Movement” in the After section. HEROES (ELA, SOCIAL STUDIES) The Tuskegee Airmen were catalysts of change in the United States. They faced much adversity and discrimination, even while operating as distinguished pilots in the army. Have your students reflect on other heroes who have faced struggle and adversity. How did these figures overcome the obstacles in their path? What impact did their resolve have on history? How is today's world different because of their sacrifices? For inspiration, use the Creativity Page “6 Figures” in the After section. ® THE NEW VICTORY THEATER / NEWVICTORY.ORG/SCHOOLTOOL © THE NEW 42ND STREET, INC. 9.

  • Lou Bellamy 2006 Distinguished Artist
    Lou Bellamy 2006 Distinguished Artist Lou Bellamy 2006 Distinguished Artist The McKnight Foundation Introduction spotlight is a funny thing. It holds great potential to expose and clarify whatever lies within its glowing circle—but for that to happen, eyes outside the pool of light must be focused Aon what’s unfolding within. Theater gains meaning only through the community that generates, participates in, and witnesses it. For McKnight Distinguished Artist Lou Bellamy and his Penumbra Theatre Company, using one’s talents to connect important messages to community is what art is all about. Bellamy believes that theater’s purpose is to focus the community’s attention and engage people in the issues we face together. He relishes the opportunity life has presented to him: to work in an African American neighborhood and develop art responsive to that neighborhood, while presenting ideas that are universal enough to encourage a world of diverse neighborhoods to take notice. This is not a spectator sport. Bellamy is a strong proponent of active art, art driven to do something. Ideally, audience members should see what’s onstage and listen to the message, then carry that message with them when they leave the theater. “You put all these people in a room,” he has said, “turn out the lights, and make them all look at one thing. You’ve got something powerful in that room.” More than 40,000 people experience that power annually, in Penumbra’s 265-seat theater in St. Paul. Universal messages are not crafted through European American templates only, and Bellamy recognizes that presenting a multifaceted reality means showing all the rays of light that pass through it.

  • A Sourcebook on Feminist Theatre and Performance: on and Beyond the Stage/Edited by Carol Martin; with an Introduction by Jill Dolan
    A SOURCEBOOK OF FEMINIST THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE A Sourcebook of Feminist Theatre and Performance brings together key articles first published in The Drama Review (TDR), to provide an intriguing overview of the development of feminist theatre and performance. Divided into the categories of “history,” “theory,” “interviews,” and “texts,” the materials in this collection allow the reader to consider the developments of feminist theatre through a variety of perspectives. This book contains the seminal texts of theorists such as Elin Diamond, Peggy Phelan, and Lynda Hart, interviews with performance artists including Anna Deveare Smith and Robbie McCauley, and the full performance texts of Holly Hughes’ Dress Suits to Hire and Karen Finley’s The Constant State of Desire. The outstanding diversity of this collection makes for an invaluable sourcebook. A Sourcebook of Feminist Theatre and Performance will be read by students and practitioners of theatre and performance, as well as those interested in the performance of sexualities and genders. Carol Martin is Assistant Professor of Drama at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. WORLDS OF PERFORMANCE What is a “performance”? Where does it take place? Who are the participants? Not so long ago these were settled questions, but today such orthodox answers are unsatisfactory, misleading, and limiting. “Performance” as a theoretical category and as a practice has expanded explosively. It now comprises a panoply of genres ranging from play, to popular entertainments, to theatre, dance, and music, to secular and religious rituals, to “performance in everyday life,” to intercultural experiments, and more. For nearly forty years, The Drama Review (TDR), the journal of performance studies, has been at the cutting edge of exploring these questions.

  • Identifying the Endgame
    Theater Bruce Nauman’s Green Light Corridor (1970), in Move: Choreographing You, the Hayward Gallery, London, 2010. Photo: Alastair Muir Published by Duke University Press Theater Thomas F. DeFrantz Identifying the Endgame What’s an Audience or a Public? To think carefully about the possibilities of curatorial practice in relation to the emer- gence of audiences and publics, we surely come back to questions of demographics, social relations, and cultural assumptions. In the context of the United States, the pro- liferation of new performance forms in the 1960s and the establishment of national institutions to administer them in the 1980s led us to discuss these sorts of markers as identity politics and to speak of multicultural programming. We tended to assume the presence of a white masculine audience, artist, and object that would be circulated in the name of art; our progressive politics told us that those majority stakeholders could pos- sibly be augmented by small numbers of audiences of color in relation to a black artist or a white woman artist. These incursions would somehow demonstrate a brief diversity of creative exercise. This sort of programming lasted all the way to the new millennium — did it ever stop? — in performance seasons with one black artist or with visual artist lineups that included a white women’s moment among the men. At times, queer white men might be identified as gay, allowing them presence as alternative artists/publics, and also allowing the overexposure that men always have in the world. Obviously, this approach to curating as though the audience or public were mostly white, peppered with a little bit of color at times, failed.

While the Red Sox run at the World Series gave us lower-than-hoped-for numbers for our season opener, the show was rapturously reviewed, and our number rebounded beyond our projections thanks to our two biggest shows, Street Scene and Peter Pan, which brought in huge crowds and box office receipts.

  • Impact Report
    IMPACT REPORT 2019 TCG NATIONAL CONFERENCE IMPACT REPORT 1 Called the “Magic City” after its population exploded in the 20th century , Miami’s true constant has always been change. From the 1960s to the 1990s, the city’s population grew from just 10% residents of color to almost 90%, and by 2000 nearly 60% were immigrants. Today, Miami remains the third largest immigration port city in the U.S. With such ballooning diversity comes an abundance of creative expression. The city’s pulpy, “Miami Vice” style exterior belies its cultural complexity; in truth, it’s always shifting, and its artists, storytellers, and cultural leaders are there to capture it all. From June 5–7, 2019, TCG convened almost 900 theatre practitioners from across the U.S. and beyond our borders at the InterContinental Hotel in downtown Miami, each one looking to manage their own relationship to ever-present change. Against the backdrop of Miami’s plurality of global cultures and artistic disciplines, we focused intently on three programmatic areas: Audience and Community Engagement as part of our continuing Audience (R)Evolution initiative funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation; Well-being and Wellness; and Theatre Journalism, with the support of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. As part of and in parallel to these areas, we addressed our field’s most pressing issues in our many professional development sessions, all while nurturing its growing commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Pre- and Post-Conferences convened university leaders, education staff, and producers of theatre for young audiences to discuss our field’s dedication to and support of the incoming generations of theatre-makers and -goers.

  • August Wilson and the Contemporary Theatre Interviewed by Yvonne Shafer
    Fall 1997 23 August Wilson and the Contemporary Theatre Interviewed by Yvonne Shafer In April 1997 August Wilson's play Jitney opened at the Crossroads Theatre in New Brunswick, New Jersey preparatory to a New York opening scheduled for the fall. Wilson was in residence at the theatre. The play is the seventh of his to open in New York and is part of his plan for a cycle of plays dealing with each of the decades of the twentieth century. Beginning with Ma Rainey's Black Bottom in 1985, each of his plays has won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award as Best Play of the Year. He has also won two Pulitzer Prizes as well as Tony Awards. He is one of seven American playwrights to win more than one Pulitzer Prize and one of only three African American playwrights to be so honored. By 1988 he was described as the foremost dramatist of the American black experience and by 1990 the most acclaimed playwright of his time. Wilson was born in 1945 in Pittsburgh. He dropped out of high school and worked at various jobs. He educated himself in the public library and was particularly attracted to poetry. He first wrote poems, then turned to writing plays. His first success in theatre came in 1982 when Ma Rainey 's Black Bottom was accepted at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's Playwright Conference and Lloyd Richards took an interest in directing it for Yale Repertory and then bringing it in to New York. By this time Wilson had moved to St.

Col. USAF (Ret.) Lee Archer, Pilot,” 332nd Fighter Group INTRODUCTION Double Victory spotlights the historic role of the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II, revealing the ways these African Americans bravely fought a war on two fronts: they helped the world triumph against fascism abroad and they fought valiantly for racial justice and equality at home. Though the Tuskegee Airmen faced the enormous challenges of discrimination from military officers, inferior equipment and heightened scrutiny, these pilots and their support personnel excelled. Featuring many Tuskegee pilots who tell powerful stories of their experiences during the war, Double Victory shows how these airmen helped defeat fascism in Europe and helped inspire the Civil Rights Movement upon their return. Double Victory is a documentary companion to Red Tails (in theaters January 20), a feature film produced You can’t turn your back on your own country.
