  • Twerking from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia "Twerk" Redirects Here
    Twerking From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Twerk" redirects here. For other uses, see Twerk (disambiguation). This article may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may only interest a specific audience. Please helprelocate any relevant information, and remove excessive detail that may be against Wikipedia inclusion policy. (July 2014) A woman twerking in a contest Twerking ( / ˈ t w ɜr k ɪ ŋ /) is a type of dancing in which an individual, usually a female,[1] dances to music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low squatting stance.[2] Though the term seems to be of uncertain origin with common assumptions suggesting it represents a contraction of "footwork" or a portmanteau of the words "twist" and "jerk", the Oxford Dictionaries blog says "the most likely theory is that it is an alteration of work, because that word has a history of being used in similar ways, with dancers being encouraged to "work it". ("Twerk it" is a common phrase as well.) The "t" could be a result of blending with another word such as twist or twitch."[3] There is evidence from ethnographic interviews in New Orleans that the term began as street language in New Orleans with the rise of the local hip hop music known as Bounce.[4] Since the late 1990s, twerking was associated[by whom?] with Bounce music of the Dirty South and was disseminated via mainstream hip hop videos and popular video-sharing sites since the mid- 2000s. In 2013, twerk was added to the Oxford Dictionary Online.[5] According to Oxford dictionary, the word has been around for 20 years.

  • Winter TCA 2018: NBC Launches Female Directors Program
    Winter TCA 2018: NBC Launches Female Directors Program 01.09.2018 The characters in NBC's Good Girls are anything but. "It's a show with three interesting people as the leads, and they happen to be badass women," Mae Whitman, who plays Annie, told reporters at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour in Pasadena, Calif., on Tuesday. Premiering February 26, the show also stars Retta and Christina Hendricks as lifelong friends in desperate need of money who rob a grocery store with toy guns and set off down a complicated, comedic path of crime. With an underlying theme of moral judgement and justification, the show is driven by the chemistry and comradery between the actresses, and the idea of women being forced into a corner and taking their power back. "The blend of comedy and desperation is a fun tightrope we get to walk each episode," said Executive Producer Jenna Bans, part of the all-female panel. On a note of female empowerment, NBC also revealed it's now accepting applications for its "Female Forward" training program for women directors. The initiative from NBC President Jennifer Salke and director Lesli Linka Glatter (Mad Men, Homeland) will give 10 budding directors the opportunity to shadow a NBC director on three episodes, with the commitment to direct at least one episode from the series. Salke called it a "game changing move that will give these women an actual credit to walk away with" as part of an effort to increase diversity and gender parity across the network. The launch of upcoming musical drama Rise from Jason Katims (Parenthood, Friday Night Lights) also inspired NBC's R.I.S.E.
