M.Ed. 1989 Physical Education Billie's Message: An Original Dance-Drama In the Modem Dance Idiom Co-Directors of Thesis: Lawrence A. Golding, Ph.D. Carole Rae, Ph.D. Billie's Message is a forty-five minute dance drama expressing through dance and narrative the life of Billie Holiday and the consequences of drug abuse in Holiday's life. It was created in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Education degree. The project was presented on October 31 and November 1, 1987, in a public concert at the Judy Bayley Theatre at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Focus was placed on the life of Billie Holiday and the anti-drug message found in the last chapter of her autobiography. Lady Sings The Blues (Holiday, 1956). The choreographer danced the role of Billie Holiday, wrote the script, was the recorded voice portraying Billie, selected the performers and directed all dramatic sequences. The written account of this project includes an investigation of Billie Holiday's life, a review of related literature, a discussion of production elements, rehearsal photographs, the script, evaluation and future consideration. A videotape of the performance has been placed on file in the Department of Dance Arts at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Carole Rae, for her encouragement to pursue the degree of Master of Education in Physical Education. Her input, guidance and support throughout the development of this project, and her dance expertise which added to the preparation of this report, is profoundly and genuinely appreciated. This project could not have been completed without the talent, commitment and dedication of the dancers and the production staff. I, therefore, give special thanks to Cathy Allen, Debbie Ashenfelter, Brett Bunton, Tyler Colton, Traci Curry for her availability and support in developing the script, Tosha Netis Dale, Jamey Gallagher, Yvonne Harris, Winston DeWitt Hemsley, Ron Legg, Bernard Manners, Carol Sampson, Eddy Talton, Kyle Throwner, and Michael Vermy, and to the lighting designers, Douglas and Kristin Talley; technical director, Jerry Griebling; stage manager Pam Moran, Andrews Rebmann, the assistance of Debra Stone, and all of the technical crew. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the members of my thesis committee: Dr. Lawrence A. Golding, for his sensitivity to artistic expression and his invaluable assistance in the preparation of this report; Dr. David Holmes, for his encouragement in my writing ability; Dr. John Massengale who graciously agreed to fill in for the late Charles Bucher, and Dr. Beth Mehocic, for her guidance in the area of research and expertise in the audio operation of this project. The practical support of performing whatever tasks were needed, both physically and financially, came from my wonderful and most appreciated husband, Ron. His photography added the visualization needed for the final manuscript and his fortitude gave me added strength. I give thanks to my family who were inexhaustable in patience and understanding. I thank Tosha, my daughter, for her performance, commitment, and professionalism. And I thank Ronnie, my son, who made himself available to move props, set pieces, or give help wherever needed. I also extend special thanks to my mother and and brother, Conswella and Gerald Baltimore who skillfully created the human dummy. I would also like to thank David Schuessler of Computer World, whose patience and computer expertise were greatly appreciated, and Andrea Bybee for the skillful typing of the final manuscript. Above all, I extend honor and gratitude to the Lord Jesus Christ who has bestowed upon me the talent, wisdom, and guidance to fulfill the requirements for the degree of Master of Education in Physical Education. v TABLE OF CONTENTS A bstract ............................................................................................................................... ii Acknowledgements ......................................................................................................... iii Chapter I.

What would they say? It I would have to be a mixture of vaudeville tunes, revival hymns, socialist politics and hot jazz licks.

  • The Artie Shaw Orchestra
    The Artie Shaw Orchestra On the eve of America's entry into World War II, TIME magazine reported that to the German masses the United States meant "sky-scrapers, Clark Gable, and Artie Shaw." Some 42 years after that, in December l983, Artie Shaw made a brief return to the bandstand, after thirty years away from music, not to play his world-famous clarinet but to launch his latest (and still touring) orchestra at the newly refurbished Glen Island Casino in New Rochelle, New York. This new Artie Shaw Orchestra remains one of the swingingest outfits around. Featuring clarinetist Matt Koza, the group hews to the Shaw legacy, and continues with the time-tested formula that has always pleased a full spectrum of audiences from the “Begin the Beguine” fans of yesteryear to the new jazz fans who want to imbibe in an exciting and heady evening of Swing. A Brief History Artie Shaw was born in New York City on May 23, 1910 and was in the top echelon of bandleader/soloists from the great swing era of 1935-45. He made his first public appearance as a leader in 1936, in a Swing Concert (history’s first) held at Broadway’s Imperial Theatre. Shaw could scarcely have known that within a short time he would make a hit record of a song called “Begin the Beguine,” which he once jokingly refers to as “a nice little tune from one of Cole Porter’s very few flop shows.” Shortly before that he had hired Billie Holiday as his band vocalist (the first white bandleader to employ a black female singer as a full-time member of his band).

This article uses Critical Race Theory as a useful framework for unpacking defences that hinged both on the colour-blindness of white British audiences, and the simultaneous existence of wider customs of blacking up within British television and film. I examine a range of 'screen culture' from the 1920s to the 1970s, including feature films, home movies, newsreels, and television, that provide evidence of the existence of blackface as a type of racialised custom in British entertainment throughout this period. Efforts by organisations such as CARD, black-press publications like Flamingo, and audiences of colour, to name blacking up and minstrelsy as racist in the late 1960s were met by fierce resistance from majority white audiences and producers, who denied their authority to do so.

  • Hollywood Be Thy Name
    UC_Weisenfeld.qxd 11/1/06 2:58 PM Page 19 one .“’Taint What You Was, It’s What You Is Today” Hallelujah and the Politics of Racial Authenticity In 1928 King Vidor, one of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s most successful directors, find- ing himself between projects, decided to spend some time in Europe. Having directed a number of important and successful silent films for the studio—most notably The Big Parade (1925), a tremendously popular World War I epic, and The Crowd (1928), a study of the life of an average man in the large urban environment of New York City—Vidor returned home when the studio asked him to direct his first sound film. Despite his initial predictions that “sound pictures [would] do away entirely with the art of motion pictures,” Vidor soon began to see the possibilities that the new technology presented and was especially excited that sound would make it possible for him to direct a film that he had long wanted to make.1 Synchronous sound, in which the dialogue or singing corresponds with the movements of the actors’ lips, had only begun to make its way into American feature films since the 1927 release of Warner Bros.’ landmark film The Jazz Singer, itself very much about complex processes of racializing religion in America.2 Just as the projection of con- structions of race had been part of the development of the silent motion picture, as D. W. Griffith’s 1915 The Birth of a Nation had ably demonstrated, so the addition of sound had been bound up in conjunctions of religion and race from the outset.

The 42-cent commemorative First-Class stamps will be dedicated July 16 at the Newark, NJ, Museum during the Black Film Festival and will go on sale nationwide that day. Explained U.S. Postal Service Vice President and Consumer Advocate Delores Killette: “Whether spotlighting the talents of entertainment icons Josephine Baker, Duke Ellington, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Fredi Washington, Louis Jordan, Daniel L. Haynes, Victoria Spivey or King Vidor, or documenting changing social attitudes and expectations—these posters now serve a greater purpose than publicity and promotion. They are invaluable pieces of history, preserving memories of cultural phenomena that otherwise might have been forgotten.” Scheduled to join Killette at the 10 a.m. dedication ceremony Wednesday are Emmy-Award winning Actress Lynn Whitfield who played the leading role in The Josephine Baker Story; Josephine Baker’s son Jean-Claude Baker and his brother, Jarry; Louis Jordan’s widow, Martha Jordan; Paul Ellington, grandson of Duke Ellington; Newark Mayor Cory A. Booker, and Gloria Hopkins Buck, chairwoman of the film festival.
