  • Stephen J. Cannell, 1941-2010
    STEPHEN J. CANNELL, 1941-2010 Stephen J(oseph) Cannell was born February 5, 1941 to Joseph Cannell, a Pasadena, California entrepreneur. Cannell struggled through his early school years, flunking three different grades of elementary, junior or senior high school, and regularly failing his English classes. Years later, when having one of his own children tested for dyslexia, he discovered that he had suffered from it his entire life. Never the less, he had a passionate love for writing, despite his difficulties with the written word, and set a goal for himself to become a best-selling author. After attending the University of Oregon on a football scholarship and meeting creative writing teachers that bolstered his confidence, Cannell married his high school sweetheart and went to work for his family’s business – driving a furniture truck all day. In the evenings, he set a rigorous writing schedule for himself – writing 5 hours a day, 7 days a week, on spec. He decided that his target market would be the burgeoning television scene, and after 6 years without a sale, he finally sold a script – to the series Ironside. After a few more sales, he caught the eye of the legendary writer/producer Jack Webb, who first hired him to be story editor and ultimately head writer for Adam-12. Cannell was contracted to Universal Television, writing and producing shows for that studio during the early-to-mid 1970s. While there, he produced Chase and wrote for and produced Toma, about real-life New York City detective David Toma. While producing Toma, Cannell and his mentor Roy Huggins (creator of Maverick, and many other tv series) wrote an episode that ended up getting rewritten to serve as a pilot for a series about an unorthodox Southern California P.I.

Valdez, Jr. Company Manager: Jacob Goodhart Executive Director: Nikki Chalas A few words from Zvi about the creation of DABKE: The idea of creating a contemporary dance piece based on a Middle Eastern folk dance revealed itself in a Lebanese restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden. My Israeli partner and a Lebanese waiter became friendly and were soon dancing the Dabke between tables. While patrons cheered, I remained still, transfixed, all the while envisioning this as material for a new piece. Dabke (translated from Arabic as "stomping of the feet") is a traditional folk dance and is now the national dance of Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and Palestine. Israelis have their own version. It is a line dance often performed at weddings, holidays, and community celebrations. The dance strongly references solidarity, and traditionally only men participated. The dancers, linked by hands or shoulders, stomp the ground with complex rhythms, emphasizing their connection to the land. While the group keeps rhythm, the leader, called Raas (meaning "head"), improvises on pre-choreographed movement phrases. He also twirls a handkerchief or string of beads known as a Masbha. When I was a child and teenager growing up in a Kibbutz in northern Israel, Friday nights were folk dance nights.

  • Resource Guide for Educators
    RESOURCE GUIDE FOR EDUCATORS AILEYDANCE. PHOTO BY JOE EPSTEIN 1 A LETTER FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “Dance came from the people and must always be delivered back to the people.” - Alvin Ailey Dear Educator, For over sixty years, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has carried out the credo of its founder through performances, school and community programs, professional training of young dancers, classes for the public, and more. To Mr. Ailey, dance was more than a series of steps; it was a means of expressing emotion, of telling one’s story, of honoring the past and rejoicing in what is to come. In fulfillment of his legacy, we strive to offer abundant opportunities for young people to experience the possibilities of dance, no matter who they are or where they come from. We hope the exercises and activities suggested in this resource guide will provide you and your students with a creative and interactive inlet to the world of dance and the work of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, or help you prepare them to attend a dance performance. By bringing your students to an Ailey performance, participating in an Ailey Arts In Education residency, or simply sharing with them the joy and practice of dance, you are engaging the next generation in the Ailey legacy; one expressly dedicated to expanding the minds, talents, and dreams of young people. Thank you for your contribution, and enjoy! Sincerely, Bennett Rink Executive Director, Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation 2 RESOURCE GUIDE FOR EDUCATORS AILEYDANCE.

  • “The Art of Rita Blitt” by Robert Mcdonald Edited by Donna Stein
    Untitled Document “The Art of Rita Blitt” By Robert McDonald Edited by Donna Stein Rita Blitt has been an artist for as long as she can remember. Since she was a child she has had a passion for creating art and for sharing it with others. She recalls her excited anticipation when teachers passed out fresh drawing paper in school, and these creative expectations endure today. Blitt channels her enthusiasm to others via drawings, paintings, and sculptures. Working from intuition as well as intelligence, her experience of making art is both physical and spiritual. She has had a calling and the strength to follow her path. Like novelist Willa Cather, Blitt has discovered that happiness is "to be dissolved into something complete and great," to become "part of something entire." An important source of Blitt's enthusiasm for art was the influence of her grandfather, Isaac Sofnas, a Russian designer of flower embroidery patterns, who lived in New York City. According to Blitt, "My grandfather drew fanciful flowers on the letters he sent. From the time I was a toddler we exchanged drawings. Now I feel my lines continue his." Blitt's father, Herman Copaken, a businessman and part-time inventor, embodied patient determination and self-motivation, which he passed on to his daughter. Blitt's mother, Dorothy Sofnas Copaken, devoted herself to Jewish humanitarian causes. She instilled in her three children an awareness of and caring for the world, which Blitt expresses through art. "My Mom always said, 'Look at the beautiful trees,'" Rita remembers. "I loved drawing trees formed with multiple lines, each emanating from the roots and continuing up through the trunk to become branches and twigs.
