Further information about the companies and artists participating can be found here. A living theater where diverse art forms collide to break down boundaries between audiences and art, the REACH was designed by architect Steven Holl to support the Kennedy Center’s evolving needs as the nation’s cultural center. Built for active participation and access, the REACH brings visitors directly into the creative process. It is an immersive learning center, a public incubator, and a set of dynamic, collaborative spaces where art happens so close audiences can reach out and touch it. Envisioned as a complement to, and extension of, the Kennedy Center’s mission, the REACH is an open stage for differing ideas and divergent cultures, delivering on a vision for what a 21st century arts center should be—inclusive, accessible, and interactive. Featuring three soaring, contiguous pavilions along with 130,000 square feet of greenspace and public gardens— the REACH is a place where visitors, audiences, and artists can come together for collaboration, experimentation, and exploration in the spirit of President Kennedy’s vision for a new frontier for the arts. The REACH will open September 7 with a free 16-day festival through September 22. 3 A full and detailed National Dance Day schedule is located here on the Center’s website. All National Dance Day events are free and reservations for timed passes will be required for entry. Reservations are available here. 2019 National Dance Day Routine Choreographed by hip hop choreographer, DJ, and producer Matt Steffanina, the 2019 National Dance Day routine is set to Dua Lipa’s “Electricity.” It is available now on American Dance Movement’s YouTube Channel. The public is encouraged to submit videos of themselves performing this year’s routine and participate in the dance challenge, #DanceMadeMeDoIt. Encouraging all to celebrate dance in one’s own way, this year’s challenge is to create your own version of the National Dance Day routine. Launched in 2010 by So You Think You Can Dance co-creator and American Dance Movement (formally Dizzy Feet Foundation) co-president Nigel Lythgoe and Hairspray producer, Adam Shankman, National Dance Day is an annual celebration. This grassroots campaign highlights the importance of physical activity through dance, which, in addition to improving cardiovascular health, also improves self-confidence, self-expression and social skills. It was officially recognized in 2010 when Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton introduced a resolution declaring the last Saturday in July to be the country’s official National Dance Day. Now shifting to September 21, National Dance Day celebrates its 10th Anniversary this season. In addition to the Kennedy Center, The Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Orange County, California, joins for an official 2019 host venue for September 21.

WHAM buys local channel Bibliography Document 1 of 1 WHAM buys local channel Author: Chao, Mary ProQuest document link Abstract: Mary Chao Staff writer The parent company of WHAM-TV (Channel 13) has acquired the local CW affiliate, which airs shows such as Girlfriends, Everybody Hates Chris, Smallville and Gilmore Girls. Full text: Mary Chao Staff writer The parent company of WHAM-TV (Channel 13) has acquired the local CW affiliate, which airs shows such as Girlfriends, Everybody Hates Chris, Smallville and Gilmore Girls. The CW affiliate, WRWB (cable Channel 16), had been a joint venture of Time Warner Cable and Warner Brothers. Now it will be operated by Clear Channel Television's WHAM and will be renamed CW-WHAM, said Chuck Samuels, vice president and general manager of Channel 13, who will head both stations. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The CW was created when Warner Brothers merged with UPN, taking the "C" from CBS, which owned UPN, and the "W" from Warner. The Rochester station will remain on cable Channel 16 and will also be available as WHAM-DT on digital channel 13.2. Samuels said the station will complement Channel 13. "The CW has a very different target audience," he said. "While most networks such as ABC target (ages) 18 to 49, the CW targets 18 to 34, even 12 to 34." The CW will help WHAM's already established news brand by reaching out to younger audiences, Samuels said. WRWB's operations in downtown Rochester will be consolidated into WHAM's facilities in Henrietta.

His eyes dart back and forth behind his closed lids. He smiles, babbles to himself. ADULT CHRIS V.O. My parents told me about puberty. Said it was natural, and happened to everyone. I wish they could have given me a heads up about when it would happen. INT. SCHOOL – DAY – FANTASY Chris is sitting in class, surrounded by students. They chat it up, await the teacher. In walks a female SUBSTITUTE TEACHER (20’s). She looks like a video model, voluptuous, and oozing sex appeal. Music accompanies her entrance, she moves in slow motion. She straddles the desk, dances seductively. She and Chris lock eyes, the rest of the students disappear. She continues to dance, exclusively for him. He likes it, in fact he like it a little too much. FEMALE VOICE Chris... Chris... INT. BOY’S BEDROOM – RESUME The fantasy ends as Rochelle walks in the room and makes a beeline for Chris’s bed. Drew’s bed is empty. The clock reads 6:15. www.johnstrongpresents.com ROCHELLE Now I know, you not still lying in that bed! It is too early in the morning for you to be trying my nerves boy.

Filed by: Viacom Inc. Pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended Commission File No.: 001-09533 Subject Company: Viacom Inc. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jessica Reif Cohen - Merrill Lynch - Analyst Welcome back. Les Moonves is perhaps the most highly regarded operating executive in the television industry. In his new corporate role, Les is now overseeing all of CBS' TV operations, including the two broadcast networks, the 40-station TV group, Paramount's TV production and distribution, as well as Radio and Outdoor. And some smaller assets, I should add. With the CBS spin out from Viacom anticipated in the next four to six months, we believe Les Moonves will prove to be a huge moneymaker for investors as well. It is a pleasure to introduce Leslie Moonves, Co-President and Co-COO of Viacom. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leslie Moonves - Viacom - Co-President and Co-COO Thanks, Jessica. Good afternoon, everybody. I must admit, it does look good seeing the words CBS Corporation up there, even though that won't happen for a few more months. We are all extremely excited about the future at our new corporation. As Tom mentioned yesterday, we've talked a lot about why these companies were better off by themselves. We fully believe it, and our group is extremely excited about what the future will be for this new corporation. I am also very excited that we have reenergized and re-gathered our team as we head towards this new grouping.

  • The Cw/Prssa Case Study
    THE CW/PRSSA CASE STUDY PRSSA OBJECTIVE: Position The CW to college students across the country by raising awareness for the network’s popular series “Gossip Girl,” while implementing non-traditional and outside- the-box publicity and promotion. The CW Network was formed as a joint venture between Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corporation. The CW is America’s fifth broadcast network and the only network targeting women 18-34. The CW offers a six-night, 13-hour primetime lineup that runs Sunday through Friday; a two-hour weekday afternoon block; and a five-hour Saturday morning animation block that delivers a total of 30 hours of programming a week over seven days. The network’s primetime schedule includes such popular series as “America’s Next Top Model,” “Gossip Girl,” “90210,” “One Tree Hill,” “Supernatural,” “Everybody Hates Chris” and “Smallville.” Mondays (8:00-9:00 p.m.) on The CW The privileged prep school teens on Manhattan’s Upper East Side first learn that Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively, “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”) is back in town the way they learn all the important news in their lives ─ from the blog of the all- knowing albeit ultra-secretive Gossip Girl. No one knows Gossip Girl’s identity, but everyone in this exclusive and complicated vicious circle relies on her website and text messages for the latest scoop. Even Serena’s closest friend, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester, “Entourage”), is surprised to find that Serena has suddenly ended her self- imposed exile to boarding school and returned to Manhattan.
