  • The Glitterball (Dir
    The Glitterball (dir. Harley Cokeliss, 1977) Lesson by Michael Aitchison, Teach First English, Key Stage 3 In this lesson, students study the character of the ‘glitterball’, and how it reacts to the life on our planet. This discussion leads to an investigation into how we might start to understand the unknown, and how we can try to recognise danger. Students will then construct a creative piece of writing based on the learning of the lesson, contextualising the events of the film to show a critical reading of the text. Students are given the opportunity to consider how we interact with unknown ideas and concepts, and how to recognise the difference between safety and danger. Lesson Objective You will need… • To identify key moments of the film The Glitterball which inform the alien's ability to The Glitterball DVD survive and adapt to its new surroundings, and make inferences about the character's Post-it notes personality. Optional: access to Curriculum Links I.T. suite (for production of • Read critically through studying setting, plot, survival guides) and characterisation, and the effects of these. • Knowing the purpose, audience for and context of the writing and drawing on this knowledge to support comprehension. 1 Activities TRAILER: What is the glitterball? After viewing the film (or extracts from the opening 30 minutes), students complete a think-pair-share activity on the following questions: 1. Is the glitterball good or bad? 2. How can you tell? Students are encouraged to provide evidence from the film to back up their opinions. • Think - students spend thirty seconds silently reflecting on the events of the film and their own interpretations of events.

  • Introducing New Surflight Theatre
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Surflight Theatre Press Director Charlie Siedenburg, 551-655-0968 BROADWAY PRODUCER ROY MILLER NAMED SURFLIGHT THEATRE PRODUCER Broadway producer (and Surflight alum) joins notable New Jersey summer destination – Surflight Theatre during exciting transitional period. BEACH HAVEN, NJ, Tuesday, September 21, 2010 — Surflight Theatre Board President Gene Hammond announced today that Broadway producer (and Surflight alum) Roy Miller has been appointed to the leadership position of Producer at Surflight Theatre. A New Jersey native, Miller’s Broadway producing credits include the current revival of West Side Story (Tony nomination for Best Musical Revival and Grammy Award Winner for Best Musical Show Album), The Drowsy Chaperone (winner of five 2006 Tony Awards; Drama Desk and NY Drama Critics’ Circle Awards for Best Musical), and The Pee-wee Herman Show (opening October 26). Before crossing the river to New York, Miller was Associate Producer of the acclaimed Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ, from 1991 to 2004 where he produced over eighty musicals and plays including Animal Crackers starring Kristin Chenoweth, Follies starring Ann Miller, Gypsy starring Betty Buckley and Deborah Gibson, and Stephen Schwartz’s new musical Children of Eden . Miller may be new to the leadership of Surflight, but he is no stranger to the Beach Haven theatre's 450- seat venue. While performing in a high school production of Funny Girl in his hometown of Irvington, NJ, Miller was offered an apprenticeship at Surflight by the show’s director and Surflight founder Joseph P. Hayes. That first introduction to summer theatre at the Jersey Shore in 1975 was followed by two subsequent seasons as an apprentice and, eventually, as a member of the acting company in 1978.

CHOREOGRAPHY FOR THE CAMERA: AN HISTORICAL, CRITICAL, AND EMPIRICAL STUDY Vana Patrice Carter, M.A. Western Michigan University, 1992 This study investigates whether a dance choreographer’s lack of knowledge of film, television, or video theory and technology, particularly the capabilities of the camera and montage, restricts choreographic communication via these media. First, several film and television choreographers were surveyed. Second, the literature was analyzed to determine the evolution of dance on film and television (from the choreographers’ perspective).

  • 2008: a Year of Variety
    The Judy Room2008 Year In Review 2008: A YEAR OF VARIETY In 2008 our world of “Judy Fandom” experienced a wide variety of products, events, and celebrations. Along with some wonderful CD, DVD and print releases, we were treated to some great events, like the high-tech “Judy Garland In Concert” which suc- essfully showcased Judy “live” in concert. Warner Home Video announced their first- ever 6k resolution restoration - and they chose A Star Is Born! Vincente Minnelli’s childhood home received a commemorative marker. The off-Broadway show “Judy and Me” received glowing reviews. The artwork to Judy’s 1962 animated film Gay Purr-ee (she was the voice of the main character, “Mewsette”) was featured in a special exhibition by the Academy of Mo- tion Picture Arts & Sciences. The Judy Garland Festival in Grand Rapids, Minnesota was again a success. And the 2009 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz began early with com- memorative stamps and noted designers creating their own interpretations of the famed Ruby Slippers, all for the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AIDS foundation - some- thing Judy herself probably would have supported had she lived. The following pages feature the highlights of the year, plus what’s to come (that I know of so far) for 2009. It’s a testament to Judy’s tal- ent and genius that here we are almost 40 years past her death, and she’s still making news, and still having an impact on the world of entertainment. I hope you enjoy this year’s Year In Review, and I thank you for your continued support.
