Foreward by Ron Moore Not often does a person have the opportunity of a lifetime to change lives, including his own. Being asked to host The Varsity Show on KTVA channel 11 influenced how I felt about helping young people for the rest of my life and ended up working with them well beyond The Varsity Show, The Coke Show, the youth centers and more. The students who worked on The Varsity Show were given scholarships and many went on to have related careers. Since I was the only person on the show that wasn't a teenager (some may argue that point), I saw the hard work and talent and the behind the scenes dedication they put into all facets of the show. Live television can be a scary thing, even for veterans of the business. If you're the camera person, you don't get a second chance to get the right shot. The students who did the live commercials also wrote the script, rehearsed and performed live. In some cases modeling clothing or demonstrating a product in front of the dancers in the studio and hundreds more watching on TV. So here's to The Varsity Show and KTVA's Augie Hiebert's vision and dedication to the youth of Alaska. The Royal Coachman was honored to be a part of an everlasting story. Yours Truly Ron Moore Saturday Memories The Varsity Show ran from the 1950s through the 1970 TV season on KTVA channel 11, the CBS affiliate in Anchorage, Alaska. It was broadcast live from the studios of KTVA in the McKinley building at 337 E. 4th Avenue in downtown Anchorage. In 1964, the McKinley building was damaged during the Good Friday earthquake. Not long after that, KTVA and KNIK, the FM radio station, moved into the newly named "Broadcast Center" in Spenard along with KBYR AM. The Varsity Show was then broadcast from that location until the show ended after the 1970 - 1971 season. The show was on the air from September of each year to around the first of June and was off the air during the summer months. A live one hour show, the format was mostly Anchorage teens dancing to the latest popular music of the day. The host of the show would introduce the music, local teen informational segments, commercials and do celebrity interviews. It was an hour of fun for the Anchorage teens who came to the KTVA studios to dance on the show and enjoy a free coke, courtesy of Anchorage Cold Storage, a yearly show sponsor. It was also fun for teens in and around Anchorage as they tuned in the weekly show to enjoy the music and see if they could spot someone they knew who was dancing on the show. And while Anchorage area teens danced in front of the cameras, there was something different about The Varsity Show from all the other teen dance shows across the United States, including ABC TVs, American Bandstand, that most never knew. Augie Hiebert had a Brilliant Idea Augie Hiebert was president of Northern Television, Inc., NTV owned KTVA channel 11 along with radio stations KNIK FM, KBYR AM and the Muzak service that provided the "elevator music" people enjoyed as they shopped or visited office buildings in Anchorage. And Augie had a brilliant and generous idea. Anchorage area high school students could come to the studios of KTVA near the end of every Varsity Show season, and audition in front of their peers, to be a part of the following year's Varsity Show crew. It was a very special internship program. The students who were selected for this one-of-a-kind internship, spent the summer at KTVA, training to work on the camera crew, audio, lighting, producing and directing The Varsity Show. In addition, others were trained to write and read commercials and to model clothing in front of the cameras. They also hosted informational segments and performed as staff dancers, also known as "Go Go girls". The Varsity Show crew that was assembled for each season was then eligible for a scholarship at the end of the year. Scholarship funds were made available from the sponsors of the show. A very big thank you to Augie Hiebert for putting this incredible program together from all of the Anchorage high school students who worked on The Varsity Show and benefited from this unique Northern Television Scholarship program. Because of their Varsity Show training, many Anchorage teens actually "got their foot in the door" and started careers in both television and radio broadcasting. This author included. As a direct result of working on The Varsity Show camera crew, I enjoyed a career in television and motion picture production that spanned over 30 years. Along the way, I was also fortunate enough to win an Emmy award for my camera work. Thank you Mr. Hiebert. The American Bandstand Connection When most people refer to The Varsity Show, they say "Anchorage's version of American Bandstand" with Dick Clark. In fact, Anchorage's own Ron Moore is often referred to as the "Dick Clark of Alaska." American Bandstand was a weekly Saturday afternoon show on the ABC television network and was broadcast in Anchorage on then station KENI-TV, channel 2, (now KTUU). The show was very popular across the United States and it's success quickly resulted in local teen TV dance shows springing up at television stations all over the country. As a side note, while the show was hosted by Dick Clark, his announcer was Charlie O'Donnell. I actually worked with Charlie back in the 1970s at KCOP-TV in Hollywood where Charlie was the staff announcer. Broadcast in various versions from 1952 to 1989, American Bandstand first originated out of the studios of WFIL channel 6 (now WPVI) in Philadelphia. In 1956, the ABC Television Network began airing the show across the country. The host, Dick Clark, would introduce the studio audiences by having them come up, give their first name and their age. He also had the famous "Rate-a-Record" segment where they would play a new song, then ask two teens to rate it. As a result of this segment, the phrase "it's got a good beat and you can dance to it" became a national catch phrase. If you liked something, you'd say "it's got a good beat and you can dance to it." Another popular segment was when Dick Clark would make a phone call to local top 40 radio DJs around the country and ask them what song the local teens were really into. Then Clark would ask the DJ to introduce the song and the teens on American Bandstand would dance to it. Well, on a couple shows, Dick Clark called Anchorage's own Ron Moore who introduced the Anchorage teen favorites on American Bandstand. And we all remember getting to see a variety of artists and

(August 2012) Evleen Michelle Nasir, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kirsten Pullen There is a discursive formation of incapability that surrounds senior women’s sexuality. Senior women are incapable of reproduction, mastering their bodies, or arousing sexual desire in themselves or others. The senior actresses’ I explore in the case studies below insert their performances of self and their everyday lives into the large and complicated discourse of sex, producing a counter-narrative to sexually inactive senior women. Their performances actively embody their sexuality outside the frame of a character. This thesis examines how senior actresses’ performances of sexuality extend a discourse of sexuality imposed on older woman by mass media. These women are the public face of senior women’s sexual agency.

  • 'What Ever Happened to Breakdancing?'
    'What ever happened to breakdancing?' Transnational h-hoy/b-girl networks, underground video magazines and imagined affinities. Mary Fogarty Submitted in partial fulfillment Of the requirements for the degree of Interdisciplinary MA in Popular Culture Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © November 2006 For my sister, Pauline 111 Acknowledgements The Canada Graduate Scholarship (SSHRC) enabled me to focus full-time on my studies. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to my committee members: Andy Bennett, Hans A. Skott-Myhre, Nick Baxter-Moore and Will Straw. These scholars have shaped my ideas about this project in crucial ways. I am indebted to Michael Zryd and Francois Lukawecki for their unwavering kindness, encouragement and wisdom over many years. Steve Russell patiently began to teach me basic rules ofgrammar. Barry Grant and Eric Liu provided comments about earlier chapter drafts. Simon Frith, Raquel Rivera, Anthony Kwame Harrison, Kwande Kefentse and John Hunting offered influential suggestions and encouragement in correspondence. Mike Ripmeester, Sarah Matheson, Jeannette Sloniowski, Scott Henderson, Jim Leach, Christie Milliken, David Butz and Dale Bradley also contributed helpful insights in either lectures or conversations. AJ Fashbaugh supplied the soul food and music that kept my body and mind nourished last year. If AJ brought the knowledge then Matt Masters brought the truth. (What a powerful triangle, indeed!) I was exceptionally fortunate to have such noteworthy fellow graduate students. Cole Lewis (my summer writing partner who kept me accountable), Zorianna Zurba, Jana Tomcko, Nylda Gallardo-Lopez, Seth Mulvey and Pauline Fogarty each lent an ear on numerous much needed occasions as I worked through my ideas out loud.

  • The THREE's a CROWD
    The THREE’S A CROWD exhibition covers areas ranging from Hong Kong to Slavic vixa parties. It looks at modern-day streets and dance floors, examining how – through their physical presence in the public space – bodies create temporary communities, how they transform the old reality and create new conditions. And how many people does it take to make a crowd. The autonomous, affect-driven and confusing social body is a dynamic 19th-century construct that stands in opposition to the concepts of capitalist productivity, rationalism, and social order. It is more of a manifestation of social dis- order: the crowd as a horde, the crowd as a swarm. But it happens that three is already a crowd. The club culture remembers cases of criminalizing the rhythmic movement of at least three people dancing to the music based on repetitive beats. We also remember this pandemic year’s spring and autumn events, when the hearts of the Polish police beat faster at the sight of crowds of three and five people. Bodies always function in relation to other bodies. To have no body is to be nobody. Bodies shape social life in the public space through movement and stillness, gath- ering and distraction. Also by absence. Regardless of whether it is a grassroots form of bodily (dis)organization, self-cho- reographed protests, improvised social dances, artistic, activist or artivist actions, bodies become a field of social and political struggle. Together and apart. ARTISTS: International Festival of Urban ARCHIVES OF PUBLIC Art OUT OF STH VI: SPACE PROTESTS ABSORBENCY

The Beach Boys' idea of wedding the rhythm of rock'n'roll and the melodies of pop music was taken to its logical conclusion in Britain by the bands of the so- called "Mersey Sound". The most famous of them, the Beatles, became the object of the second great swindle of rock'n'roll. In 1963 "Beatlemania" hit Britain, and in 1964 it spread through the USA. They became even more famous than Presley, and sold records in quantities that had never been dreamed of before them. Presley had proven that there was a market for rock'n'roll in the USA. Countless imitators proved that a similar market also existed in Europe, but they had to twist and reshape the sound and the lyrics. Britain had a tradition of importing forgotten bluesmen from the USA, and became the center of the European recording industry. European rock'n'roll was less interested in innuendos, more interested in dancing, and obliged to merge with the strong pop tradition.
