  • Cloth and Wood Come to Life When the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts Presents the Philadelphia Premiere of Basil Twist’S Petrushka
    March 21, 2011 CLOTH AND WOOD COME TO LIFE WHEN THE ANNENBERG CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS PRESENTS THE PHILADELPHIA PREMIERE OF BASIL TWIST’S PETRUSHKA April 6—16, 2011 "Brilliantly imagined, wonderfully expressive, and breathtakingly realized" New York Magazine (Philadelphia, March 21, 2011) — Cloth and wood come to life when the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts presents the Philadelphia premiere of Petrushka, conceived, designed and directed by Basil Twist, April 6-16, 2011. A tour-de-force of music, movement, design and storytelling, Petrushka is a puppet- theatre version of the legendary 1911 Ballets Russes production Petrouchka, the story of a tragic love triangle between three magical creatures; the lovesick clown Petrushka, the alluring Ballerina and the dashing Moor, whose stories emerge amidst the swirl of the Russian carnival. For tickets or for more information, please visit AnnenbergCenter.org or call 215.898.3900. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Annenberg Center Box Office. The program begins with an abstract fantasia of puppetry set to Stravinsky's Sonata for Two Pianos, performed by Russian identical twin pianists Julia and Irina Elkina. After a brief pause, the trio of puppets takes the stage and the Elkina Sisters perform their own special two-piano arrangement of Stravinsky’s score based on the composer’s four-hand version of the piece. Nine hidden puppeteers dressed and hooded in black – Lindsay Abromaitis-Smith, Kate Brehm, Jenni Campbell, Kristen Kammermeyer, Keri Lewis, Jonothon Lyons, Marc Petrosino, Lake Simons and Christopher Williams – employ the puppetry technique Japanese Bunraku to bring the four feet tall puppets to life.

  • Vogue Magazine the Glossy Has Spawned an Industry of Imitators, Two Documentaries, a Major Hollywood Film And, Perhaps Most Enduringly, a Modern Dance Craze
    Lookout By the Numbers Vogue Magazine The glossy has spawned an industry of imitators, two documentaries, a major Hollywood film and, perhaps most enduringly, a modern dance craze. Itís also gone through some serious changes over the course of its 121 years in print. In recent years, the fashion bible has traded willowy models for celebrities of all kinds, a trend that reached its apex in April when the left-leaning, Chanel-shaded Brit Anna Wintour (the magazineís seventh editor in chief) decided to put ó gasp! ó a reality star on its cover. But even with young upstarts nipping at its Manolos, the periodical that popularized tights and the L.B.D. continues to thrive under its time-tested principle.

Letter from the Editor “Letter From The Editor” serves as more than just a premise upon which to introduce the work of the author. The “Letter From The Editor”—where the author’s professor explains and examines the academic environment in which her students completed scholastically rigorous course projects, where she illuminates the highly successful outcome of her student’s rhe- torical and multimedia skills through the outcome of such projects, broad- casting Tara Kloeppel (the author of the piece to follow) as exemplary of such. The “Letter From The Editor” serves not only to promote authorial credibility (as it does successfully), but also to present an important com- ponent of the medium, a component at the heart of her student’s argument, the editorial letter present in every successful magazine. As the “Letter” begins, Greer—the author of the introduction and professor of Women in the Nineteenth Century at UMKC—jumps right into the pool of credibility and makes a “Wow” worthy splash as soon as the article begins.

  • Council of Fashion Designers of America
    Council of Fashion Designers of America ANNUAL REPORT 2017 The mission of the Council of Fashion Designers of America is to strengthen the impact of American fashion in the global economy. B 1 Letter from the Chairwoman, Diane von Furstenberg, and the President and Chief Executive Officer, Steven Kolb In fashion, we respond to the world we live in, a point that was powerfully driven home in 2017. We were excited to see talents with broad cultural backgrounds and political ideas begin to express their experiences and beliefs through their collections. Diversity moved into the spotlight in ways we have never seen before. Designers embraced new approaches to business, from varying show formats to disruptive delivery cycles. It was also the year to make your voices heard, and CFDA listened. We engaged in civic initiatives important to our industry and partnered with Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and FWD.us. We also relaunched our CFDA Health Initiative with guidelines to help those impacted by sexual assault or other forms of abuse. There’s no going back. In 2018, CFDA is moving ahead at full speed with an increased focus on inclusivity and women in fashion, the latter through an exciting new study with Glamour magazine. We may be a reflection of the world we live in, but we also work hard to make that world a better place. Altruism, after all, never goes out of style. 3 CFDA STRENGTHENED PILLARS WITH MISSION-DRIVEN ACTIONS MEMBERSHIP Fashion Professional Fashion Civic+ Retail Partnership Week + Market Development Supply Chain Philanthropy Opportunities SUSTAINABILITY INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT SOCIAL AND EDITORIAL MARKETING AND EVENTS KEY UNCHANGED MODIFIED NEW PROVIDED INITIATIVES RELEVANT TO DESIGNERS EMERITUS AT EVERY STAGE OF CAREER DESIGNERS • Board Engagement • Philanthropy and Civic ICONIC Responsibility DESIGNERS • Mentorship • Editorial Visibility • Board Engagement • Fashion Week • Philanthropy and Civic ESTABLISHED Responsibility DESIGNERS • Mentorship • Editorial Visibility • NETWORK.

    Access Provided by University Of Texas-San Antonio at 04/22/11 3:28PM GMT Introduction Jonathan P. Eburne and Rita Felski hat is an avant-garde? In posing such a question, this is- sue of New Literary History seeks to reexamine a category that Woften seems all too self-evident. Our aim is not to draw up a fresh list of definitions, specifications, and prescriptions but to explore the conditions and repercussions of the question itself. In the spirit of analogously titled queries—from Kant’s “What is Enlightenment?” to Foucault’s “What is an Author?”—we hope to spur reflection not only on a particular object of study but also on the frameworks and critical faculties that we bring to bear on it. As Paul Mann notes, every critical text on the avant-garde, whether tacitly or overtly, “has a stake in the avant-garde, in its force or destruction, in its survival or death (or both).”1 A reassessment of these stakes is one of the priorities of this special issue. Narratives of the avant-garde abound. Whether they come to bury the avant-garde or to praise it, these narratives are typically organized around moments of shock, rupture, and youthful revolt that speak to certain beliefs about the functions of experimental art and the nature of historical change. In his 1968 Theory of the Avant-Garde, for instance, Renato Poggioli describes two major phases in the development of the avant-garde. The first stage is anchored in the leftist politics of the 1840s and the 1870s, where the notion of an advanced guard serves to authorize the political agitations and underground activities that helped trigger the revolutionary events of 1848 and the Paris Commune.
