Saturday 11/9: Host Bobbee Zeno with Pat Taylor of Jazz Antigua
Pat Taylor is the Founding Artistic-Director and Choreographer of JazzAntiqua. Her background in Katherine Dunham and Lester Horton techniques, West African, American vernacular and classic jazz dance, along with her love for the collage nature of improvisation, combine to form her signature ‘afro-modern-jazz’ style and approach to movement.
Taylor is the recipient of several awards including Mayoral and City Council commendations; a Brody Arts Fund Choreography Fellowship, and grants from the Doolittle Foundation, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, California Arts Council and the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. Taylor was a finalist in the 2007 “Dance Under the Stars” Choreography Festival and the 2009 Leo’s Choreography Competition (Jazz Dance World Congress). She is also chair of the dance department at Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences in Santa Monica, CA.
JazzAntiqua will celebrate their 20th anniversary with “Roots, Rhythm and Swing,” a concert at the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Nov. 16th at 8 PM. Get details and purchase tickets here.
“As Doctor Who nears its 50th anniversary, Tom Baker [79] reflects on his seven years as the fourth Doctor. ‘It was so much better than real life,’ he says. . . . With his long scarf and love of jelly babies, Baker’s fourth Doctor remains one of the most instantly recognizable incarnations of the Time Lord. He is also the show’s longest-serving star, having played the role from 1974 to 1981.” The big celebration is set for November 23rd.
If you enjoy old films, you probably watch Turner Classic Movies and that means you’re well acquainted with host Robert Osborne, 81. He had intended to be an actor and, as young man, was under contract to Desilu Productions. But one day Lucille Ball said to him, “You could be an actor, and I think you could be a success at it, but it’s not going to make you happy.”
