Michael Shannon’s Contemporary Ballet WHAT’S THE POINTE Bach Prelude Solo Pas De Deux Gigue Trio
American contemporary dance video presents New York Bach inspired ballet choreography, “Whats the Pointe,” by Los Angeles California choreographer, Michael Shannon, Configuration Dance Theatre’s Resident Choreographer, the people’s choice for the 2008 & 2009 Artvoice Best Dance Company Award.
The New York Times described his choreography as “sexy, ballet to blush by.” The Buffalo News said, “captivating, genius, utterly superb, deeply emotional and affecting, intimate, sensual, reminds one of Ek, Kylian and Rhoden, bravo finally realism in ballet.” The Cape Cod Chronicle said, “nothing short of astonishing in his understanding and the physical communication of emotion from comical to tender.”
Video features three scenes from eight movements in the ballet, “Whats the Pointe,” from performances in New York City presenting gifted dancers produced by the award winning Ellison Ballet in 2008. In order of appearance: Colorado Ballet’s Christina Schifano in the “Prelude Solo;” Nashville Ballet’s Sadie Harris and Jon Upleger in “Sarabande Pas De Deux;” and in the “Gigue Pas De Trois,” Dutch National Ballet’s Sarah Poss, Colorado Ballet’s Christina Schifano, and Ballet West’s Kaleigh Schock. In the 2008 YAGP USA Competitions, Schifano was awarded a Gold Medal in contemporary Dance and a Bronze Medal in Classical Ballet; and a Pas De Deux Gold Medal was awarded to Schock and Myles Thatcher.
Shannon was Principal Dancer for the Bolshoi Ballet, Stars of the Bolshoi Ballet, Vienna State Opera Ballet, Englands Birmingham Royal Ballet, and Principal Guest Artist for the Kremlin Palace Ballet Theatre, and Hungarian State Opera Ballet. The Russian Nobility League invited him to become Director of the Revived Russian Imperial Theatre of Opera and Ballet. He was co-Artistic Director of the Russiches Kammertheater Berlin, and was awarded Professor of Choreography from the Ukrainian State Academy of Ballet in 1999.
Shannon was trained by legends in the ballet world on scholarships from California to the School of American Ballet in New York and National Ballet School of Canada. In 1986, the Bolshoi’s Academy Director, Madame Golovkina, told People Magazine how she discovered Shannon at 16, and by 19, he was their first American scholarship recipient and graduate, and first American Principal Dancer of the Bolshoi, with commendations from Presidents Bush and Clinton, and invitations to dance for President and Mrs. Gorbachev in Moscow, and President and Mrs. Ford in Vail.
President George H.W. Bush honored Shannon and his accomplishments in a letter presented to him at Town Hall of California (7 Aug 1990): “As the first American to become a member of the esteemed Bolshoi Ballet, Michael has brought great honor to himself and his country. Realizing his dreams through persistence and hard work, he is a role model, and has served as an able representative of the United States abroad. We are very proud of this native son.”
President William J. Clinton rote him after returning from Moscow in 1993, “Your dedication to ballet has given you the opportunity to be a part the tradition of great Russian dancers. You can take pride in knowing that you carry with you the hopes and dreams of many aspiring dancers.”

So you want to be an architect – Part 4
Hi. I’m Doug Patt and this is So you want to be an architect, Part 4. What does an architect use? Aside from the wide variety of items an architect uses to physically create the drawings, specifications, models, and paperwork necessary to make buildings the architect uses elements of style to create buildings. Narrowed from a gamut of items I believe you could say the elements of style, when it comes to buildings are scale, form, complexity, and material. Lets look at examples of each. Much has been made throughout the history of art and architecture over proportion from DaVincis canon of proportions to Le Corbusiers modular man. How buildings reflect & accommodate human scale is a key component of architects work. From the beginning architects like Palladio used ratio and proportion found in nature to create harmonious buildings. From Frank Lloyd Wrights cozy interiors to the grand palace of Versailles. to the Hancock skyscraper of Boston who’s scale overwhelms the famous trinity church but was designed to reflect it’s beauty nonetheless building can be scaled to the human figure or scaled in a more ambiguous manner. Ambiguity is key for Jean Nouvels Arab world institute where the elements of the elevation make scale extraordinarily vague. So scale is one way architects relate a building to the user. In the last few decades architecture has increasingly been able to take advantage of advanced technologies that have allowed them to build with incredible freedom of form. From Norman Fosters Hearst tower in New York city or his Gherkin skyscraper in London to the Millau viaduct in France, from Rem Koolhaas seattle central library to his CCTV building in china. From Santiago Calatravas Milwaukee art museum to his Hemispheric in Spain. With Herzog and de Meurons birds nest arena in China or Renzo Pianos Nemo museum in Amsterdam, architects today work within a realm of form perhaps never imagined before. A buildings aesthetic complexity is also an element that portrays a certain idea or ethos. From the classicism of Bernard Maybecks palace of fine arts, or Louis Sullivans intricate ornamental stone detailing, the work reflects the spirit of an era. Theres detail that might emphasizes verticality as in Raymon hoods Chicago tribune building or Cesar Pellis Patronis towers in Malaysia, or horizontality as in Frank Lloyd wrights prarie style homes. A building can also be ornamental in a unique way like Antonio Gaudis buildings or simplified to only steel and glass as in Mies Van Der Rohs aesthetic. They can also be free of detial like Le Corbusiers La tourette or Louis Kahns Salk institute. Lastly, every building ever made is made from something. The material an architect chooses to build with is affected by both cost and intent. From IM Peis Louve pyramid and Hong Kong towers of steel and glass to the concrete work of Zaha Hadid, from the cold steel exteriors of Sir Richard Rogers in the Lloyds of London to the cool white porcelain tiles of Richar Meier or the stone facades of Herzog and de Meuron. Architects continue to work with great freedom in the realm of material, which only promises to become even more advanced and unlimited. Its up to the architect to take the meaning and intent of their commission and have the architecture reflect that in some way. Using scale, form, complexity and material the architect creates a framework for style. And that concludes the fourth part of the video series so you want to be an architect. Im Doug Patt. See you next time.

In a processor which is more important processing speed or cache size?
Would it be better to go with a 2.53 GHz processor with a 12 MB L2 cache, or a 2.93 GHz processor with a 6 MB L2 cache.
Good question. I don’t think there is any TRUE right answer? I am going to have to say cache size though. That means it can store more memory stuff to improve multitasking. and 2.53 vs 2.93 really is not much. So yeah cache in my opinion.

Is modern medicine beneficial for the overall advancement of the human race?
I hope I’m not sounding like a Nazi or anything, but if modern medicine is allowing people that possess genes that would normally not allow them to be able to survive to reproductive age and reproduce, aren’t those ‘bad’ genes being passed on to the next generation?
And wouldn’t this mean that the human gene pool is becoming worse off due to modern medicine?
I’m not saying that we should stop trying to find the cure for cancer or anything, but am I the only one that is concerned about this?
granted you bring up a point that i have pondered as well, the ability of man to defy "survival of the fittest", i hardly think modern medicine is responsible for any adverse effects on the human race… modern medicine’s benefits completely pale it’s drawbacks. and lets face it, allowing anyone to live longer, whether it be a day, a minute or a decade, is one of the most important accomplishments of the human race as a whole. no one can deny anyone their right to life through all available means…
besides, if a person survives a lethal disease through artificial (medical) means and decides to have kids, they are most likely well aware of the fact that their young child may be faced with their same struggles and hardships, and many choose to adopt, or simply not bear offspring.
now an interesting thought to ponder is how modern medicine has allowed the global population to increase exponentially, causing food shortages, etc. are we saving people, or making it that much harder for others to survive?
What is the best way to promote an interior design business that would not cost a lot of money?
I have been in business for almost one year. I have a small store where I sell home accessories and I also have interior design business. Both are not doing well. I’m out of money however really want to make this business work. Any suggestion?
A friend of mine had an idea that worked for her. She offered a free one room "re-design" party. The basic concept was that she would re-design one room in your house using only stuff you have around your house. She would take out all the furniture and start from scratch. She would go all over your house picking out items that would look great in the re-design. And then she would put the room back together using stuff you already owned.
She made it into a party by having me send out invitations to friends of mine (sort of like the candle, pampered chef, etc parties). They came sometime in the morning (between 8 and 9 AM) for just a few minutes to see the "before" of the room (my living room) being redesigned. Then they would go on their way (or they could come the night before if it suited them better). My friend set a certain time for her to be done and my friends came back at any time between 5 and 6 to see my redesigned living room and have some refreshments. It was open house style – they didn’t have to stay very long it they couldn’t. It generated some business for her – I know my MIL and at least a couple of my friends hired her for their homes after seeing how she redesigned my living room.
For my friend, at least, it was a great way for her to get her name out there to lots of different people with very little expense (I think the most expense was creating the invitations). I mailed the invites and handled the refreshments. She did all the work – had her hubby help with the heavy lifting stuff.
She also teamed up with the local newspaper to do a local version of "trading spaces" where she did the interior design of both places.
Explain the benefits of producing drawings to recognised standards within an engineering drawing?
Explain the benefits of producing drawings to recognised standards for the following departments within an engineering company.
- Drawing and design office producing working detail drawings, assembly drawings and parts lists.
- Machine shop, producing components from working drawings.
- Inspection department, checking the finished components to working drawings.
- Buying department, obtaining quotations from sub-contract machinists using working drawings.
- Service department, supplying and fitting spare parts to older earlier drawing issue assemblies.
- Drawing and design office producing working detail drawings, assembly drawings and parts lists.
Drawings produced by different engineers will be consistent in their presentation, layout and content. Print size and line thickness will be specified in the standard. Very important as in CAD system it is often easy to see part of the drawing on the monitor but when drawing is printed in hard copy the print can be too small to read. People can be prevented from using multicoloured lines to mean something on the drawing. Again does not print well and may be interpreted wrongly by other people. The point at which an assembly drawing needs to be broken down into more detailed drawings will be better controlled. Parts lists will be in accordance with one type of system for appointing parts numbers on the drawings. This will support the concept of one integrated well managed company, not a group of uncoordinated people.
- Machine shop, producing components from working drawings.
Different component drawings coming from different design engineers will be consistent, readable and understandable for the reasons given above. This will reduce manufacture of wrong or faulty components with consequent loss of profit.
- Inspection department, checking the finished components to working drawings.
Different component drawings coming from different design engineers will be consistent, readable and understandable for the reasons given above. This will ensure that one consistent inspection regime will ebe able to handle many types of different components, resulting in economies of scale and saving in inspection times resulting in better profit margins.
- Buying department, obtaining quotations from sub-contract machinists using working
drawings.
Department will have confidence in quotations from subcontractors as they will know that each sub contractor has received the same type of drawings that are consistent within themselves. There should be reduced errors in misunderstandings leading to claims by subcontractor for more money. A question on detail from one contractor will apply to all. There will not be many different questions because of different types of drawing layouts or content.
- Service department, supplying and fitting spare parts to older earlier drawing issue assemblies.
Much better tracibility or changes over time. One system will support the tracking and recording of changes much better than if there was no system in operation. The management of change over time is critical and is p[possible only with one consistent standard being used over time.
