FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 17, 2011 the JIM HENSON FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 17, 2011 THE JIM HENSON COMPANY AND SPIRIT MUSIC FORM STRATEGIC JOINT VENTURE INDIE PUBLISHER’S VENTURE WITH PRODUCTION COMPANY CREATES INTEGRATED PARTNERSHIP IN FILM/TV/ON-LINE MUSIC Los Angeles and New York, March 17, 2011 – The Jim Henson Company, a long time leader in family entertainment, and Spirit Music Group, a top independent music publishing company, have entered into an unprecedented global, multi-year joint venture in which the companies will co- own and co-publish songs, scores and soundtracks from Henson’s future output of new film, television and web-based programming. The Jim Henson Company will bring its internationally- known brand, talent and resources to the collaboration and Spirit will contribute its well-respected expertise in the sourcing and strategic promotion of music. In addition, the parties have entered into a worldwide administration agreement whereby Spirit will administer and promote Henson’s extensive back catalog. The venture is unique in that, in addition to aggressively administering and re-purposing Henson’s extensive song library and related master recordings, Spirit creative staff will have an active presence on the Henson Hollywood lot, working in a wide range of areas including helping to source songs, composers and both rising and established artists for new projects, developing strategies to sell music from Henson properties via traditional music outlets and non-traditional retail channels and contributing to the development of an overall digital sales strategy. In addition, Spirit affiliate companies around the world will contribute both music and marketing ideas for Henson projects debuting in their territories. The wide-ranging deals, announced jointly by The Jim Henson Company’s President/COO Peter Schube and Spirit President Mark Fried, cover Henson’s entire media library including such acclaimed classic films as Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal and television series’ Fraggle Rock, Farscape, The Hoobs, Mopatop’s Shop, Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas, Mother Goose Stories and The Wubbulous World Of Dr. Seuss. Also included are Sid the Science Kid and Dinosaur Train, award-winning children’s television series which debuted in 2008 and 2009, respectively, and have become top shows on PBSKIDS®. In all, the deal encompasses a slate of theme songs, cues and scores from more than 50 years’ worth of feature films, television series’ and webisodes reflecting thousands of hours of content. Henson has been particularly prolific in recent years, yielding a busy slate of upcoming projects including a new feature film based on its wildly popular Fraggle Rock franchise, another film re- telling of the classic Pinocchio story to be produced with Guillermo del Toro and ongoing television and web productions including Me and My Monsters, and Wilson & Ditch: Digging America. Spirit, whose roster reflects some of the most respected songwriters and song catalogs of the pop era, from the standards of Johnny Burke, Jerry Livingston and Alan and Marilyn Bergman to the groundbreaking work of Lou Reed, Charles Mingus, Chaka Khan, Andrea Bocelli and the Grateful Dead, has been an extremely active presence in film and television. Over the last year alone, the company’s creative staff has worked with supervisors, directors and producers to place songs in more than 75 feature films and more than 250 network and cable television series’ – the best placement record in independent publishing. “Studios and music publishers have always been fairly arms length in their dealings, and for us, music publishing has historically been a largely passive business. Not anymore. We’re looking forward to breaking the mold with Spirit, leveraging the broad and complementary expertise of our combined staffs to create a robust platform to market our music everywhere our fans are,” said Schube. Fried said, “As long time fans of virtually everything The Jim Henson Company has dreamed up these past five decades, we are thrilled to be welcomed to help devise and execute a comprehensive music strategy.” He continued, “This joint venture is a logical extension of the kind of close collaborative relationships we’ve had with supervisors, directors and studios for many years and we’re excited to see how much we can achieve working as insiders from the same playbook.” * * * About Spirit Music Spirit Music Group, founded in 1995, is the fastest growing independent music publisher of the last 15 years, owning and/or managing more than 20,000 songs spanning 7 decades and every musical genre.

  • CHAPTER ONE Overview of the Study
    CHAPTER ONE Overview of the Study :7548*=4+=9-*= 9:)>= This research project comprises a discursive exploration of the 2007 Tasmanian Curriculum: English Literacy K-10 Syllabus, hereafter referred to as the Tasmanian English Syllabus (TES). Although English as an oral language was my fifth language, it was my first literate one, and by the end of my primary school years, English had become my dominant language. Without my English language skills, I would not have had access to many privileges in society such as higher education and satisfying employment. My parents’ struggles to navigate Australian society with inadequate English language skills offered me an early lesson in what it might mean to be disempowered by a lack of valued literacy skills. From this background, I have endeavoured to foster high levels of English literacy in my teaching career. Until analysing the TES I had no idea that Aristotelian paradigms would figure so prominently in this thesis. I had viewed the ‘back to basics’ literacy rhetoric common in the media and conservative political speeches as reminiscent of a discourse more so associated with the ‘1950s white picket fence, the hills hoist in the backyard and the Holden in the garage’ constructions of Australian identity (Luke, 2001, p. 8). What I found, however, was that the ‘basics’ went back much further, to a time of imagined Western glory that was far more pervasive than generally acknowledged and is now also far more widespread in its influences than commonly realised. As Richard Rubenstein, 1 author of Aristotle’s Children stated in a radio interview (Philosophy Talk, 2005), both the ‘Blues’ (Republicans) and the ‘Reds’ (Democrats) in the U.S.

  • Building American Puppetry on the Jim Henson Foundation
    BUILDING AMERICAN PUPPETRY ON THE JIM HENSON FOUNDATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Kathleen Stoessner, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Joy Reilly, Adviser Dr. Beth Kattelman Adviser Dr. Alan Woods Graduate Program in Theatre Copyright by Jennifer Kathleen Stoessner 2008 ABSTRACT Historically the United States, with the exception of ritual performances by indigenous Americans, did not have a distinct puppetry tradition, utilizing instead the imported techniques of its immigrant population. In the twentieth century, puppeteers began to explore puppetry’s capabilities, producing challenging and innovative theatrical work in a distinctly American style. Puppetry was given a stage as popular broadcasting content on the newly invented television. In this media environment, Jim Henson pioneered new techniques, becoming the most famous puppeteer in history. His success enabled him to serve his field as a spokesman and sponsor. In 1982, he established the Jim Henson Foundation, a non-profit organization to support puppetry artists. The Jim Henson Foundation is the only organization in the United States devoted to funding puppet theater and its mission reflects Jim Henson’s commitment to the community of artists who make American puppetry the vivid panorama it has become. Without the Foundation, puppetry in the United States would not be experiencing the explosion of creativity and exposure it currently enjoys. To present a picture of puppetry in the United States and Henson’s work, a brief history of puppetry in America as well as an in-depth scrutiny of Jim Henson’s career is provided.

    “SESAME STREET” AND THE MEDIA: THE ENVIRONMENTS, FRAMES, AND REPRESENTATIONS CONTRIBUTING TO SUCCESS A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science by Stephanie A. Hay June 2003 This thesis entitled “Sesame Street” and the Media: The Environments, Frames and Representations Contributing to Success by Stephanie Anne Hay has been approved for the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism and the College of Communication by Bernhard Debatin Associate Professor of Journalism Kathy Krendl Dean of the College of Communication HAY, STEPHANIE ANNE. M.S. June 2003. Journalism “Sesame Street” and the Media: Environments, Frames, and Representations Contributing to Success. (142 pp.) Director of Thesis: Bernhard Debatin Television to viewers of all ages in the 1960s was a budding medium, and children by 1961 proved to be a loyal—and later profitable—target audience for networks. But debates appeared questioning whether or not children’s television negatively influenced its young viewers. “Sesame Street” debuted in 1969 and quickly became the most successful children’s program in television history. Its production continues today. The thesis, in its entirety, found that “Sesame Street” happened “in the right place at the right time.” It found that the show was an exception to a plethora of the low- quality, violent, and commercial children’s programming that print media characterized before its debut; was overwhelmingly supported after its debut by print media, political figures and public audiences; was overwhelmingly framed positively by authors of articles who pinned traditional educators fearing television may replace their roles against “Sesame Street” creators in a public debate over the show’s merits; and was changed over the past three decades in response to vocal opinions about the characters’ representations of gender, race, and class.
