  • „Wir Schauspielern Zu Musik“ Sein Kann
    ich in der Frage, wie viel Haut man zeigt, sehr konservativ. SPIEGEL: Wie kommt es dann, dass Sie im neuen En-Vogue-Video zum Song „Riddle“ mit Abstand den kürzesten Rock tragen? Ellis: Ich bin selbst erschrocken, als der Sty- list damit ankam. Früher hätte ich mich ge- weigert, jetzt sagte ich nur: Gebt mir eine Strumpfhose, und ich ziehe ihn an. SPIEGEL: Inwiefern verpflichtet Sie der Bandname En Vogue, modisch immer auf der Höhe der Zeit zu sein? Ellis: Das gehört natürlich dazu. In dieser Saison gefällt mir am besten die Schlangen- Optik, die überall zu sehen ist. Und ich überlege, ob ich mir eine dieser modischen Geldbörsen kaufen soll, die aussehen wie Briefumschläge. Im Grunde bin ich aber ein Blue-Jeans-Mädchen. Am liebsten möchte ich immer in Jeans auftreten. Nur würden das unsere Fans nicht erlauben.

    CBCF CHAIR'S MESSAGE "AFoundation Expanding Opportunities" n he history of Black America is the history ofa people BTf who have overcome tremendous odds, triumphed over the adversity of slavery and segregation, and found opportunity in hardship. we come together for the 21st Annual Legislative Weekend, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation is rAsproud to celebrate these achievements and to help chart a course for the future that willenable us to continue to build on the successes of the past. The civil rights era inaugurated by Thurgood j^ Marshall and other champions of justice was marked by the \u25a0 passage of landmark legislation banning discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, and the voting booth. Thanks to this watershed period of progress in our Congressman Alan Wheat nation's recent past, an unprecedented number of Black Americans are now beginning to realize economic security. Yetrecent events have shown us that we cannot take these gains for granted. Although a vibrant and growing Black middle-class willcontinue to make headway in the 19905, a dismaying portion of our population faces a bleak future as a result of governmental indifference and neglect during the last ten years. An increasingly hostile Supreme Court has begun to chip away at the legal underpinnings of our nation's antibias safety net and the current Administration has shown itself willingto play racial politics withlegislative safeguards against discrimination. In the face of these new obstacles to progress, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation is rising to the challenge of developing strategies to address the inequities that continue to confront modern society and to create new opportunities for an increasingly diverse Black American population.

  • FRANK GATSON Jr
    FRANK GATSON Jr. - Bio Director/Artist Visual Developer Creative Director/Choreographer Frank Gatson Jr. discovered the world of dance after seeing the Broadway production of ‘The Wiz’. In 1980 he graduated from the University Of Wisconsin-Madison and began dancing for 'Up With People', an organization that travelled the world performing at all different kinds of venues even appearing at several Super Bowl halftime performances. Eventually, Frank worked his way up to official ‘dance captain’ and, finally, began to manage the show itself. He later moved to New York to study at the ‘Broadway Dance Center’ and ‘Alvin Ailey Dance Center’. After finishing his time at Ailey and Broadway centers he returned to University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and received a Masters in Theatre and Dance. He got his first professional break when he danced in Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” video and eventually moved to Los Angeles to pursue more opportunities. It was in L.A that Frank started his career choreographing for the legendary EnVogue. Attending a beauty pageant Frank had choreographed, Cindy Herron of EnVogue asked him if he'd help her choreograph her girl group's videos ‘My Lovin’ and ‘The Funky Divas Tour’. The rest is history. EnVogue exploded as Frank honed in his skills and developed what is now his signature style and as well as his ability to turn ordinary people into 'stars'. His talent and amazing vision caught the attention of Camille Yorrick at Sony Music who was in the early stages of Destiny's Child. Frank became their Creative Director and Choreographer while Destiny's Child became a huge success.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past.
