Working in partnership with the Northshore Senior Center in Bothell, STG offers classes that provide theatre arts programming to adult participants with cognitive and physical disabilities. Once a week during the season, participants meet with four STG teaching artists to explore elements of musical theatre, dramatic arts and movement-based activities in a creative, safe and welcoming environment. As each quarter comes to an end, participants are engaged in a final share presentation where family and community members can attend and observe what the class has been working on over the past several months. We are thrilled to be presenting this new class and encourage any community or school groups interested in Inclusion Programs to contact STG. You can learn more about all of our Broadway programs by visiting stgpresents.org/education/broadway.

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.

ENGELMAYER, District Judge: This case involves claims by the Beastie Boys, the hip-hop group, against Monster Energy Company (“Monster”), the energy-drink company. Specifically, the Beastie Boys, along with affiliated plaintiffs,1 bring claims of copyright infringement and of violations of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1051 et seq., and the New York Civil Rights Law (NYCRL) § 51, arising out of Monster’s allegedly unauthorized publication of a promotional video that used as its soundtrack a remix including songs originally composed and recorded by the Beastie Boys. At issue presently is a third-party Complaint which Monster, after it was sued by the Beastie Boys, brought against Zach Sciacca, a/k/a “Z-Trip,” the disk jockey (“DJ”) who, with the Beastie Boys’ permission, originally made the remix. Z-Trip furnished the remix to Monster. Monster’s Complaint alleges that Z-Trip authorized Monster to make unrestricted use of the remix, including the Beastie Boys’ original compositions and recordings contained in it, in its promotional video. Monster sues Z-Trip for breach of contract and also for fraud, the latter 1 The Beastie Boys are a New York partnership. The other plaintiffs are Michael Diamond, a Beastie Boys member known as “Mike D”; Adam Horovitz, a Beastie Boys member known as “Ad-Rock”; Dechen Yauch, Executor of the Estate of Adam Yauch, a late Beastie Boys member known as “MCA”; and Brooklyn Dust Music, an entity through which the Beastie Boys did business.
