TIRELESS: A Tap Dance Experience will come to the Ted Shawn Theatre, June 28-July 2, and features outstanding tap artists including Jumaane Taylor and M.A.D.D. Rhythms of Chicago, siblings Joseph and Josette Wiggan of Los Angeles, Joe Orrach of San Francisco, and Reona and Takashi Seo of Japan. A Tap Program in The School at Jacob’s Pillow, All Styles Dance Battle, and many free public events make this an expansive week celebrating the art of tap dance. “I’m very interested in exploring the practice of artist as curator,” comments Pamela Tatge, Jacob’s Pillow Director. “A year ago, Michelle Dorrance had just returned from Japan where she regularly interacts with their vibrant and innovative tap scene. She told me about Reona Seo and that led her to highlight for me the many explosive tap talents she sees in the U.S. and abroad. I had the idea that we should invite her to bring some of these artists together in an evening that she would curate exclusively for the Pillow. And so, TIRELESS was born. We also invited Michelle and Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards to host a two week program at The School so that young talents will have the opportunity to learn from them, outstanding faculty, and all of the virtuosic artists performing at the Festival.

' ABSTRACT The article offers two approaches to the question of 'invisible punctuation,' theoretical and critical. The first is a taxonomy of modes of punctuational invisibility, · identifying denial, repression, habituation, error and absence. Each is briefly discussed and some relations with technologies of reading are considered. The second considers the paragraphing, or lack of it, in Sir Philip Sidney's Apology for Poetry: one of the two early printed editions and at least one of the two MSS are mono­ paragraphic, a feature always silently eliminated by editors as a supposed carelessness. It is argued that this is improbable

    Chapter Two Literature Review in This Study, the Researcher Shows

    11 Chapter Two Literature Review In this study, the researcher shows definition and theory in literature review. The researcher writes some definition of punctuation marks taken from some researchers. Then, the researcher also adds review of related study that contains some research results taken from some researchers. The last is conceptual framework. The researcher takes summary from the theory from some researchers before. English Punctuation According to Jones (1994, p.421) “punctuation, as we consider it, can be defined as the central part of the range of non-lexical orthography”. Allthough arguments could be made for including the sub-lexical marks (e.g. hyphens, apostrolphes ) and structural marlcs (e.g. bullets in itemisations), they are excluded since they tend to be lexicalised or rather difficult to represent, respectively. The other concept comes from Samson (2014, p.23). He said, “punctuation enables us to clarify statements and communicate better with readers.” It is similar with the opinion from Ritter (2001, p. 112) said that “Punctuation exists to clarify meaning in the written word and to facilitate reading. Too much can hamper understanding through an uneven, staccato text, while too little can lead to misreading. Within the framework of a few basic rules (fewer still in fiction), an 12 author's choice of punctuation is an ingredient of style as personal as his or her choice of words.” Writing Writing is an outward expression of what is going on in the writer’s mind (Hussain, Hanif, Asif, and Rehman, 2013). Furthermore, according to Hussain et al (2013), “writing is the visual medium through which graphical and grammatical system of a language is manifested” (p.832).
  • THE IMPORTANCE of BIBLICAL PUNCTUATION by John Temples

    THE IMPORTANCE of BIBLICAL PUNCTUATION by John Temples

    BIBLICAL INSIGHTS #57: JOTS AND TITTLES: THE IMPORTANCE OF BIBLICAL PUNCTUATION By John Temples Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass ​ ​ from the law till all is fulfilled” (Matthew 5:17-18). What on earth are jots and tittles? A jot (or yod) was the smallest letter in the ​ ​ Hebrew alphabet. It resembled an apostrophe (‘). A tittle was even smaller, and was a little “horn” or pen stroke on the end of a letter, rather like a serif on a letter in the English alphabet. The NIV does a good job of rendering the sense of Matthew 5:18--“I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.” (It’s important to note that the law was ​ fulfilled in Jesus and His sacrifice; so once that sacrifice was completed, and the sin debt was paid by Christ’s blood, the law did pass away and was replaced by the New Testament.) So Jesus was saying that not even the smallest parts of the law of Moses would pass away until all the law’s requirements were fulfilled. We use similar expressions when we want to emphasize the importance of small details, such as “dotting our i’s and crossing our t’s.” ​ ​ ​ ​ Also, in English we have small but important marks of punctuation--commas, ​ ​ periods, colons, question marks, etc.

    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?
