Here, in all its grand and dubious glory, is musical-theater showmanship at its best, 1001 others, see all a thrilling evening of art and craftiness spiked with ambivalence about the nature of enthrallment. Chet Walker’s dances, which retain the pelvic thrust of Bob Fosse’s original choreography, are a viciously precise mockery of showbiz bump and grind, enacted by a sexy, sinister, improbably limber ensemble (in skintight carnival gear and medieval costumery). Circus elements created by Gypsy Snider—acrobatics, aerialism, contortionism, juggling, hula hoops—build momentum toward what the ringmaster assures us is “a climax you will remember for the rest of your lives.” That just might be true.

Contently.com By Natalie Burg You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do. — Henry Ford THE STATE OF AUTOMOTIVE CONTENT MARKETING: MAPPING THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IN 2015 Editor’s Note As someone who has spent approximately 43 percent of his life watching televised sports, I’m no stranger to auto ads. But while the image of manly men hauling dusty boul- ders in shiny trucks will live with me forever, marketing in the auto industry has evolved far beyond that. In fact, it might now be more familiar to those who grew up on 90’s sitcoms. Acura has scored an incredible win by sponsoring Jerry Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Cof- fee,” while Lexus has been featuring Lisa Kudrow’s award-winning “Web Therapy” on its web-series channel, L Studio, for four years running. In an industry where the sales cycle has lengthened to six years, auto companies are embracing the power of content to build relationships over time. In this ebook, we look at the major trends moving the industry forward, as well as the speed bumps that are getting in auto content marketers’ way.

As television must always create its spaces and places on the screen, what, then, is the significance of the varying emphases as well as the commonalities constructed in televisual high school settings in UK, US, and Japanese television shows? This master’s thesis considers how fictional televisual high schools both contest and construct national identity. In order to do this, it posits the existence of the televisual school story, a descendant of the literary school story. It then compares the formal and narrative ways in which Glee (2009-2015), Hex (2004-2005), and Ouran koukou hosutobu (2006) deploy space and place to create identity on the screen. In particular, it examines how heteronormativity and gender roles affect the abilities of characters to move through spaces, across boundaries, and gain secure places of their own. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii Table of Contents iii Acknowledgement v Introduction Orientation 1 Space and Place in Schools 5 Schools on TV 11 Schools on TV from Japan, 12 the U.S., and the U.K.
