  • 2008: a Year of Variety
    The Judy Room2008 Year In Review 2008: A YEAR OF VARIETY In 2008 our world of “Judy Fandom” experienced a wide variety of products, events, and celebrations. Along with some wonderful CD, DVD and print releases, we were treated to some great events, like the high-tech “Judy Garland In Concert” which suc- essfully showcased Judy “live” in concert. Warner Home Video announced their first- ever 6k resolution restoration - and they chose A Star Is Born! Vincente Minnelli’s childhood home received a commemorative marker. The off-Broadway show “Judy and Me” received glowing reviews. The artwork to Judy’s 1962 animated film Gay Purr-ee (she was the voice of the main character, “Mewsette”) was featured in a special exhibition by the Academy of Mo- tion Picture Arts & Sciences. The Judy Garland Festival in Grand Rapids, Minnesota was again a success. And the 2009 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz began early with com- memorative stamps and noted designers creating their own interpretations of the famed Ruby Slippers, all for the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AIDS foundation - some- thing Judy herself probably would have supported had she lived. The following pages feature the highlights of the year, plus what’s to come (that I know of so far) for 2009. It’s a testament to Judy’s tal- ent and genius that here we are almost 40 years past her death, and she’s still making news, and still having an impact on the world of entertainment. I hope you enjoy this year’s Year In Review, and I thank you for your continued support.

  • TAP INTO HISTORY Study Guide for Educators
    TAP INTO HISTORY Study Guide for Educators Highlights of Tap History: ​ 1600’s: English people migrate to the United States, bringing social dance, waltzes, jigs, reels and clogs. At the same time, Africans come to America (as slaves) and bring percussive, grounded and syncopated rhythms. 1880’s: Vaudeville (a variety entertainment performance circuit) establishes tap as an American art form. 1915: Metal taps are added to shoes. 1930’s-50’s: The era of dance movies starring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Eleanor Powell, Bill Robinson, Buddy Ebsen, James Cagney, Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor, Ann Miller, and others. 1970’s: Dance studios and colleges start teaching tap. Hip hop and other social dance forms eclipse tap’s popularity. 1980’s: The first tap companies are formed, primarily by women, and the first international tap festival takes place in New York City. 1989: Congress establishes National Tap Dance Day to honor Bill “Bojangles” Robinson’s birthday, May 25th. 1990’s: Tap/percussive dance shows such as Riverdance, Lord of the Dance, Stomp and Tap Dogs ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ become popular worldwide. Savion Glover becomes the poster child for the genre for his appearances in shows like Bring in ‘da Noise, Bring in ‘da Funk and on Sesame Street. ​ ​ ​ ​ Present: Many veteran tap dancers pass away, giving rise to a new generation of tap dancers like Michelle Dorrance, Chloe Arnold, and Jason Samuels Smith. Contemporary tap dance pushes the boundaries of the art form beyond just tapping, exploring elements such as storytelling, technology, and fusion with other dance forms. Questions?

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Brynn Wein Shiovitz 2016 © Copyright by Brynn Wein Shiovitz 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950 by Brynn Wein Shiovitz Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Susan Leigh Foster, Chair Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950, looks at the many forms of masking at play in three pivotal, yet untheorized, tap dance performances of the twentieth century in order to expose how minstrelsy operates through various forms of masking. The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.

  • MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES and CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1994 MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994 A retrospective celebrating the seventieth anniversary of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, the legendary Hollywood studio that defined screen glamour and elegance for the world, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 24, 1994. MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS comprises 112 feature films produced by MGM from the 1920s to the present, including musicals, thrillers, comedies, and melodramas. On view through September 30, the exhibition highlights a number of classics, as well as lesser-known films by directors who deserve wider recognition. MGM's films are distinguished by a high artistic level, with a consistent polish and technical virtuosity unseen anywhere, and by a roster of the most famous stars in the world -- Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Greta Garbo, and Spencer Tracy. MGM also had under contract some of Hollywood's most talented directors, including Clarence Brown, George Cukor, Vincente Minnelli, and King Vidor, as well as outstanding cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, and editors. Exhibition highlights include Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1925), Victor Fleming's Gone Hith the Hind and The Wizard of Oz (both 1939), Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise (1991). Less familiar titles are Monta Bell's Pretty Ladies and Lights of Old Broadway (both 1925), Rex Ingram's The Garden of Allah (1927) and The Prisoner - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 of Zenda (1929), Fred Zinnemann's Eyes in the Night (1942) and Act of Violence (1949), and Anthony Mann's Border Incident (1949) and The Naked Spur (1953).

I chose to focus my research and analysis on three child stars in particular: Judy Garland, Elizabeth Taylor, and Shirley Temple. These three actresses each had different experiences in their careers and relationships to the studio; however, they were all well-known and influential child stars.
