THE DANCER WITHIN by Rose Eichenbaum
“The impulse to move comes from the spirit.” — Ben Vereen
Where does the urge to dance come from? How does one cope with the
highs and lows of the artist’s life? What are the choreographer and
dancer’s responsibilities to each other, to the audience, to the self?
These are just a few of the questions that dancer-turned-photographer
Rose Eichenbaum posed, with camera in hand, to America’s most
celebrated dancers and choreographers.
The Dancer Within pairs Eichenbaum’s striking color action photos and
black-and-white portraits with excerpts from her conversations with
ballet icons, Broadway stars, modern dance luminaries, Hollywood
legends, and prominent choreographers. Eichenbaum captures the
character and vitality of Debbie Allen, Jacques D’Amboise, José Greco,
Judith Jamison, Bill T. Jones, Mark Morris, Anna Sokolow, Ethan
Stiefel, Russ Tamblyn, Tommy Tune, and some 30 other dance
professionals while eliciting candid reflections on their lives and
careers. Eichenbaum is author of Masters of Movement: Portraits of
America’s Great Choreographers (Smithsonian Books, 2004).
Mr. Wiggles is a featured artist in this exhibit... don't miss it!

From the M.A.D.D. Rhythms, Inc. Newsletter
Everything you need to know about
us and what we are up to
Well, they say the third time is a charm. I hope they're right! I tried
to get a newsletter out last month, but I didn't quite make it. In the
picture on the left is Yoshie and me. Yoshie is a dedicated tap student
with discipline that we could all learn from. This picture was taken at
last summers' smash hit "Imagine Tap". In my opinion this show marked
the official rebirth of TAP. It is my sincere hope, that this show gets
a chance to be seen by the world. Secondly, I'd like to let everyone
know that M.A.D.D. Rhythms will be holding a 2 week Tap Boot Camp from
July 9-20. This Tap Boot Camp will be 4 hours a day, 5 days a week and
will be total submersion into the world of "The Dance". More details
will follow soon, but if you want to get a jump on registration, let me
know and I can put you or your child's name on the list.
And as always, the weekly newsletter may not always be weekly but it
will contain everything I want to share about M.A.D.D. Rhythms, The Tap
Academy, Tappin' @ The Shore: The Basement Jam, The Wreckshop Training
Crew and The Chicago Tap Summit! I hope you enjoy.
P.S. I have officially started M.A.D.D. Rhythms G.I. For those who
don't know G.I. stands for Gary, Indiana. Look for more on the newest
addition to the M.A.D.D. Rhythms family in the next issue!

Tap Into A Cure
Bril Barrett invited to teach and perform at Canada's newest tap
festival. Tap Into A Cure is also a tap festival with a Purpose! August
15 - 19, 2007
Hello Tap dancers, it is hard to believe that 8
months ago we held our first Tap Into A Cure Workshop, and it was a
roaring success. We donated $8000 to the Stollery Children's Hospital.
This year we are going to help the inner city children with our
donation to the Edmonton School's Lunch Program where they feed
children everyday with a nutritional meal that they would otherwise go
without, even during the summer months. We have added an extra day of
classes, from your requests, and added a participants showcase. There
will be a tap jam, panel discussion and with our special guest
Harold "Stumpy" Cromer, you never know what could happen. Spending
time with Harold and hearing his many wonderful stories is
intoxicating, he is living history, and we are honoured to share him
with you. You will have a chance to perform a piece choreographed by
Harold in "Hoofin' for Hunger", if you attend his rep classes. Robert
Reed, Josh Hilberman, Bril Barrett, Lance Liles, Danny Nielsen, Logan
Miller and Andrew Merrigan will join Mr. Cromer on the faculty.
Make your tap weekend an Alberta holiday, Edmonton is home to the
world's largest shopping mall, West Edmonton Mall. Edmonton is known as
Festival City, so there will always be something different to do every
week of the summer. We are a scenic drive away from the glorious Rocky
Mountains, Alberta is home to Drumheller, one of the world's best
dinosaur exhibits at the Royal Tyrell Museum. Calgary, our other
beautiful city, is 3 hours away and Banff and Jasper are two of the
most breath taking towns on the planet. A tour of Fort McMurray and the
oil sands plant is, too, a short drive away. Alberta is an adventure
waiting to happen and you now can include a great tap weekend in your
summer vacation. And remember our Canadian dollar is a bargain on the
world market. Moms could do some back to school shopping very cheaply
while your tapper gets a workout.
For those of you who haven't had a tap class, please join us at
"Hoofin' for Hunger" the finale show and silent auction at Festival
Place in Sherwood Park. I guarantee you will not be disappointed, so
come out to the show on August 19, 2007 at 7 pm and prepare to be
mesmerized by the talent you will see. There may even be a few surprise
guests!
So come join us and share the weekend with amazing Tap Masters and
faculty, who all want to share their styles, secrets and talent with
all of you.
phone 780 722 9562
Hope to see you in Alberta in August for Tap Into A Cure. Please pass
this email to all tappers you know, no one should miss this great
workshop. Thanks Andrew Merrigan

United Way and Silent Fire Productions together at Leaders
Conference
Contact: Matina Banks
Phone: (571) 278-8174
Email: silentfireproductions@yahoo.com
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UNITED WAY OF AMERICA AND THE ARTS TOGETHER
(Pittsburgh, PA)—Tuesday, May 15th, the United Way of
America Staff Leaders Conference will begin in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For the first time ever,
United Way has opened up their conference to all staff
across the United States allowing for a different,
much younger dynamic (most attendees will be between
20 and 40 years old) at the conference.
To meet the needs of this new dynamic, the national
office conceptualized a multimedia performance which
is set to run halfway through the conference, on
Wednesday. Developed through the creative partnership
of L&M Productions of Alexandria, VA. and Silent Fire
Productions of New York City, this performance
includes not only dancing (provided by Silent Fire
Production’s New York based dance company) but music,
video and a voiceover (provided by L&M Productions).
“It’s a lot going on at once,” said Matina Banks,
choreographer for the project and Artistic Director of
Silent Fire Productions. “The challenge was to
incorporate the dancing into all the media being used
without the dancer being lost on stage and
overwhelming the audience with information.”
Three testimonials of personal experiences with
services provided by the United Way of America
correspond to the dance, music and video that make up
the performance. The performance is geared towards
captivating, exciting and motivating the audience
while sharing the story of how United Way fulfills its
mission to help people find answers to their problems.
United Way of America is one of many companies and
corporations who are looking for innovative ways to
inspire and educate employees during conventions and
national meetings. Todd Shanks, one of the dancers
for the performance has done two other performances
similar to this, one for Volvo, and the other for
Ford. “I like doing performances like these because
the people are excited to be there,” Shanks says.
“Because the audience is made up of employees from
United Way, they already know why they are there, they
know what they need. It’s different then performing
at a concert where you are not really sure how the
audience is going to react. In this situation they
are focused and inspired and we, as dancers, expanding
on that by giving them a visual representation of
that.”
The three day conference will be held at Pittsburgh’s
Convention Center, beginning Tuesday, May 15th and
ending Thursday, May 16th.

Hi friends and colleagues,

Curated by Rashida Bumbray
Brooklyn-based, free-bop jazz drummer and composer Pheeroan akLaff’s
performances conjoin melodic patterns, rhythmic patterns, counterpoint,
chordal voicings, and solo and group improvisation with the intent to
arrive at a liberating place—be it harmonious or cacophonous. akLaff
presents new compositions exploring international grooves and
sensibilities for a quintet composed of himself, bassist Francis
Mbappé, pianist Michael Cain, vocalists Kamillah akLaff and Amon Bey.
The evenings open with a performance by LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, a
writer, vocalist, and Harlem denizen whose work rigorously explores
sound through a myriad of verse, language, and electronic vocal
processing. This work-in-progress, Excerpts from Fraud & Coda, features
Diggs (vocals, text, electronics, visuals), Daniel Marcellus Givens,
and Guillermo E. Brown, (electronics and vocals).
Music programs at The Kitchen are made possible with generous support
from the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, the Aaron Copland Fund for
Music, The New York State Music Fund, and with public funds from the

Hello all ~
Pacha NY is participating in the dance parade this year to be held on
Saturday, May 19, 2007. We are gearing up a fabulous cherry float with
a live DJ, dancers, a truss with hanging disco balls, & lots of fun! I
will have a body painter on-site to paint Pacha cherries on our faces,
arms, legs, torsos…It would be great if you could join us to walk
alongside the float & dance your hearts out in support of the dance
community. If you have children, please bring them along too! It’s an
event for the whole family! Perhaps that some of you are already
participating; let me know so that I can come by & say hello!
Hope that you will join us in supporting the NY dance community. Take a
look at this website for more info: www.danceparade.org.
Please be sure to sign up at http://www.danceparade.org/join/dance.php.
In the lower right hand side make sure that you click where it says
"DANCING WITH" and click on "HOUSE: PACHA".
Really hope to see you there!!
Peace always ~

Hello friends!
I hope this e-mail finds you all well!
Just wanted to let y'all know that I will be appearing on ABC's Good
Morning America on Monday morning to compete in their "Dancing with the
Moms" competition. Four mothers were selected from thousands across the
country to compete in a special live dance contest. I and three of my
colleagues will be dancing in an elimination round format (first round
- Cha-cha; second round - Swing; third round - Salsa).
Please check it out and don't forget to vote for me and my mom partner,
Awilda Lopez-Yolich (it'll be a phone-in vote like Dancing with the
Stars and American Idol). I hope you enjoy the dancing!
Take care,
Rodney Lopez
