  • Natural Pursuits – the Screen Dramas of Simon Gray Television Season at BFI Southbank in August 2011
    PRESS RELEASE June 2011 11/49 Natural Pursuits – The Screen Dramas of Simon Gray Television Season at BFI Southbank in August 2011 BFI Southbank celebrates the tragi-comic screen dramas of the late Simon Gray. A writer of immense wit and intellectual charm whose razor-sharp dialogue is unsurpassed. The month long season features some of Gray’s most celebrated work including screenings of Unnatural Pursuits (1992), After Pilkington (1987) and They Never Slept (1991) which feature performances by British acting elite including Alan Bates, Edward Fox and Miranda Richardson. Following the screening of They Never Slept, a panel of guests including producer Kenith Trodd, and directors Udayan Prasad and Christopher Morahan will discuss his great contribution to television drama and the theatre illustrated with clips of some of his early and rare television plays to be chaired by Broadcaster Matthew Sweet. After the screening of Butley on Sunday 14 Aug, Lindsay Posner, director of the 40th anniversary revival of the play currently running at the Duchess Theatre will also be welcomed to the BFI stage for a Q&A. Gray wrote prolifically from the mid-60s onwards for both the West End stage (Otherwise Engaged, Quartermaine’s Terms, The Late Middle Classes, Butley) and for television, where such important early successes such as Death of a Teddy Bear, Man in a Sidecar and The Caramel Crisis were carelessly wiped. His most fertile period writing specifically for TV occurred between 1975 and 1993 during a close collaboration with producer Kenith Trodd and four major directors, Michael Lindsay- Hogg, Christopher Morahan, Udayan Prasad and Pat O’Connor.

  • Damon Albarn - Il Suo Primo Album Da Solista - Dal Titolo "Everyday Robots" Sarà Pubblicato Dalla Parlophone Il 29 Aprile 2014
    MARTEDì 21 GENNAIO 2014 Un nuovo album di Damon Albarn - il suo primo album da solista - dal titolo "Everyday Robots" sarà pubblicato dalla Parlophone il 29 aprile 2014. Damon Albarn Il primo singolo, in radio e disponibile nei digital store da oggi è la title In radio con "Everyday Robots", il primo singolo track 'Everyday Robots' che, insieme alle successive 11 canzoni, invita che anticipa l'omonimo album in uscita il 29 l'ascoltatore nel mondo di Albarn per un vero e proprio faccia-a-faccia. aprile Sono probabilmente i brani più intimi ed autobiografici da quando è cominciato il suo viaggio musicale: una carriera iniziata con i Blur che si è estesa successivamente con i Gorillaz, i The Good, The Bad & The Queen, con la musica del Mali, con le opere teatrali "Monkey: Journey To The LA REDAZIONE West" e "Dr. Dee" ed il progetto Africa Express. Il brano 'Everyday Robots' è accompagnato da un video diretto dall'artista e designer Aitor Throup. http://smarturl.it/everydayrobotsvideo [email protected] Il video è un ritratto digitale di Albarn eseguito da Throup. Utilizzando il SPETTACOLINEWS.IT software CGI (immagini generate al computer) e scansioni craniche reali insieme a tecniche di ricostruzione facciale, il video esplora e rivela il processo di costruzione di un ritratto unico e personale dell'artista e dell'individuo. Throup ha lavorato anche alla creatività del visual concept delle copertine sia del singolo che dell'album ed ha scattato le foto a Damon per l'immagine della copertina dell'album. Registrato lo scorso anno nello studio londinese di Albarn, lo "studio 13", Everyday Robots è prodotto da Richard Russell della XL Recordings - con il quale Damon aveva prodotto 'The Bravest Man In The Universe' di Bobby Womack - e contiene collaborazioni con Brian Eno e Natasha Khan (Bat For Lashes).

With 70% of fourth graders from low income families currently unable to read ateven a basic level, teachers face a daunting challenge. The schools described in this book, like many schools across the country, are creatively addressing this challenge. The book states that they were chosen based on recommendations of early childhood specialists and that in these schools, teachers and administrators, together with students, families, and the larger community, continually examine, reflect on, and change educational and family engagement practices to meet the needs of an increasingly culturally and economically diverse community of students.
