Tips for Young Entrepreneurs During National Mentoring Month
by kmurray, Community Moderator
- Created: January 8, 2014, 8:31 am
As a young entrepreneur, you may be looking for advice or guidance as you consider starting your own business. A great place to turn? A mentor.
And January is National Mentoring Month. Every year, this month highlights the positive role that mentors have in helping shape the success of young people – from the classroom to the working world. Read on for more about why and how to get started with a mentor.
Why should I have a mentor?
According to the Startup Genome Report, statistics show that entrepreneurs and startups are more likely to succeed with the help of an effective mentor. That may not come as a surprise – a mentor brings with him or her a wealth of knowledge, experience and insight that you won't find anywhere else.
- An insider perspective
Aside from the "been there, done that" know-how a mentor can pass along, consulting with one can be a great way to gain a fresh perspective and broaden your outlook. Especially if you've been developing your ideas solo, having a sounding board in a business mentor can offer a sanity check or an outlet to help focus your ideas.
- A sophisticated skillset
If you feel that you're struggling with a particular task as you're trying to start your business, a mentor can help. From accounting to technology, many mentors have a particular area of advanced skills. So as you gain high-level industry insight, you can also further your technical abilities essential to your future business.
- A vast network
With years of experience, a mentor likely has an enviable network of industry connections. The importance of networking can't be understated, so expanding your network with the help of a mentor can be a great way to meet potential partners, customers and decision-makers in your target market. A personal introduction can strengthen that new tie when compared to meeting someone randomly at an event.
How can I find a mentor?
Two great options to consider for mentorship are SCORE and Small Business Development Centers.
Sponsored by SBA, SCORE is a nonprofit network of retired business executives, leaders and volunteers who provide free and confidential counseling, mentoring and advice. It has more than 358 chapters with 13,000 + volunteers who share their expertise through in-person and online mentoring.
SCORE counselors often have a specific area of expertise for all stages of business. While your primary counselor will be your main point of contact, he or she can help identify and introduce you to other specialists – from accounting and marketing to management and technology.
In addition, the SCORE website is chockfull of great resources, including how-to guides and tools, online workshops and more. You'll also find a listing of its local branches that operate in-person workshops.
- Small Business Development Centers
Also sponsored by the SBA, Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) are partnerships primarily between the government and colleges or universities that provide educational services to small business owners and entrepreneurs at any stage of the business process. They offer technical assistance through confidential one-on-one counseling, training seminars, assistance with SBA loans, business plan guidance and more.
Find your nearest SBDC.
So if you're getting started with ideas to start your own business and are looking for some guidance, consider reaching out to a business mentor to help you succeed.

Elmgreen and Dragset plan to bring Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth to Germany. A replica of the plinth, upon which the artists' boy on a hobbyhorse work is currently on view in London (until April), will be placed on Wittelsbacherplatz, a square in downtown Munich, as part of a €1.2m project to bring art in public spaces, organised by the Scandinavian artists. "For ages the Fourth Plinth was a problem for London. It just stood there, empty. Then it became one of the most fantastic art projects. Sometimes you need problems to get great ideas. Maybe Munich does not have enough problems, so we are bringing them one," says Michael Elmgreen.
Elmgreen and Dragset have been commissioned by the German city to organise the temporary art project titled "A Space Called Public/Hoffentlich Öffentlich" (Hopefully public) starting 29 January and running until September. "We chose the two because they question public space with very unconventional projects and also have a good track record as curators," says Hans-Georg Küppers, the director of Munich's department of arts and culture. The pair have invited other artists to participate, and the first work to go on view is Phantom by the British artist Stephen Hall, a reproduction of the empty Fourth Plinth itself. Other artists contributing to "A Space Called Public" include Kirsten Pieroth, Ragnar Kjartansson, Ivan Argote, Henrik Olesen, Han Chong and Peter Weibel. There will also be a competition in order to select an artist to make a work that will be shown on the plinth later this year. "Public spaces often gets packed with art, which then is soon forgotten. Temporary projects can create more change," says Küppers. "I do not want to sound like the old guy complaining about the youth, but I think public space is not used anymore for meeting people and for feeling that you are part of a group, belonging together. More and more nowadays this is happening on the internet. But you can only really be a citizen by sharing in a public space, it should be reclaimed", says Elmgreen.Correction: this article has been amended to clarify that a replica of the plinth in central London, not the artists' statue on it, will be erected in Munich

I have a friend that has just come back from the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland. She snorkeled around the reef with her husband and child and said "if she died tommorro she has lived." Apparently it is that amazing. I have seen photos of the Reef but I have never had the opportunity to see it.
Maybe this will inspire some people to find some websites to check this amazing place out.
Anyone that has seen the Reef please share your experience. I would love to hear about it.

"We are real Americans and we believe in the First Amendment," say wrestlers Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger. Photo: YouTube
Remember the good old days when professional wrestlers "injured" in the ring would pretend to be injured in public just in case a fan saw them?
No? Ok. Well, take my word for it. The term of art is "kayfabe." It's the wrestling equivalent of a blue wall of silence. Omerta. That wall is very thin these days, and WWE proudly calls itself an entertainment company. No one is fooled, but the wrestlers try to keep in character most of the time, and the fans generally pretend to accept the real fakeness of wrestling. It is a confusing mental feat, but WWE makes a lot of money every year, so they're doing something right.
In the past, when WWE wrestlers have formally broken character during a show, it's because something bad happened; the real world intruded unexpectedly in a way that kayfabe couldn't cover. The death of wrestler Owen Hart in the ring 14 years ago. Commentator Jerry the "King" Lawler suffers a heart attack on air a few months back.
Now, it's something more... jovial. It's Glenn Beck.
It started on Beck's Mercury Radio Network program. WWE has a new character that Beck believes is "stupid." The character is a Tea Party take-off who taunts the current WWE world champion, Alberto Del Rio, for allegedly being an illegal immigrant. Lest you find offense at this in any way, note that in this storyline, Del Rio is the good guy, and gets cheers from the fans, and the Tea Party wrestler, Zeb Colter, is the bad guy. (Colter's bud is a veteran wrestler named Jack Swagger, another villain.)
Beck said this of the storyline:
So may I ask: Did George Soros buy the WWE? Is this a Cass Sunstein presentation? And maybe it's just us. Maybe — you know what? Maybe we're wrong. Maybe that's the way WWE people view the TEA Party. And maybe they love to hate the TEA Party. But I have to tell you, I expect that from Hollywood, but I don't expect — if I'm getting my entertainment from somebody that I think is on my side — and I'm sorry. I just don't see a bunch of progressives going and buying their tickets to the WWE. Do you? I mean, and maybe there are. I tend to notice that the progressives are not as popular in the South unless they've moved from the North. So I'm just trying to figure out exactly who they're trying to appeal here, who they're appealing to.
He actually referred to George Soros and Cass Sunstein. Beck goes on to speculate that the WWE is alienating 80 percent of his audience, which he thinks "skews" conservative.
WWE responded by first inviting Beck to appear on their program. (It's the biz!)
But then they released a video, where the wrestlers in question break character and bash Beck.
WWE's reps concede that they're promoting a storyline that makes anti-immigrant politics look bad because a significant and growing portion of their audience domestically and in Latin America is Hispanic.
And here is where Glenn Beck gets his sense of WWE wrong: wrestling might not seem "progressive" to him, but wrestling fans are young. They're of the Obama generation. They like to be on the right side of history. Actually, if you look at wrestling storylines years back, you'll see how the script matches or tries to catch up with the political zeitgeist.
Beck will get some PR out of this, but WWE has Wrestlemania on April 7.

They met up with the commissioner of the W.Va. Division of Corrections, Jim Rubenstein, who helped arrange meetings with the staff at Lakin.
"I'm really looking forward as we get this up and running. I really saw this as a win-win for our females," Rubenstein said. "To not only get the physical aspects of the yoga and the healthier lifestyle for them, but also with Sue and Barbara's background, their messages they will be able to deliver during these classes as far as self-esteem. A lot of the females we have in the system have been in abusive relationships."
Julian expanded on the rollout of the programs and its benefits, headquartered out of a small office on the third floor of Covenant House.
"We're piloting this program over the course of this year," she said. "At the end of the year, we will have facilitated about 72 classes. We will use that feedback from the women who are incarcerated to guide how we move forward with this work at Laotong Yoga.
"Meditation and yoga do hopefully bring inmates into the moment. Life is where they are at right now -- even in prison. And yoga and meditation are tools to help people become aware of the moment and to live in the present moment. And inquire: what does it mean to me to be fully present here in prison?"
Steinke, who noted she and Julian are on the hunt for sponsors, supporters and grants, mused on what the duo hopes Laotong Yoga can bring to women who for the moment in their lives find themselves behind bars.
"To us, yoga is more than just going through the motions. It's feeling the body, listening to it. Slowing it down. Finding compassion for yourself and others," she said. "It felt like the right place for us to start, to bring this practice into the prison system."

We bought this coffee table from restoration hardware a month ago – it is in perfect condition but unfortunately is a bit too large for our space.
The table is in mint condition and still has the shipping wrapping on the legs because we immediately recognized it was too large.
$320 or best offer – only serious offers please and write "coffee table interest" in the subject so it is clear you are not a robot.
Must pick up from our apartment in gramercy.
Here is the description from restoration hardware:
Tribeca square coffee table
With a nod to iconic designs from the late 20th century, our distressed table marries planks of aged, reclaimed elm with an architectural metal base.
Metal base with an aged iron finish
Hand-applied metal patina
Given their previous lives as antique doors, the table tops may have holes. Nicks, nail marks and imperfections reveal the wood's age and provenance.

Year One
Year Two
Year Three
Year Four
Hult knows that students who get the most out of their specialist subjects are students who have first thoroughly learned the basics of business. As they progress through their Bachelor degree, students can see how the functional areas of business fit together, and which ones are most suited to their interests and abilities. By exposing our students to the full range of disciplines, the Business Fundamentals curriculum creates a platform for students decide which concentration and advanced courses they would like to pursue.
Hult International Business School is ranked by the Financial Times as the #2 business school in the world for International Experience, and this experience starts right at the very beginning. In Business Fundamentals classes, students will work in teams with people from across the globe, so they must rapidly understand how to communicate forcefully but diplomatically within radically different cultures. After studying in this atmosphere, Hult graduates are better prepared than others to work at multinationals, or to switch careers to a new continent without missing a beat.
In their first two years, Hult undergraduates take required Business Fundamentals courses in subjects ranging from macroeconomics to marketing. Undergraduates' growing self awareness empowers them to choose the specialist concentration within their degree that is right for them.
In their final two years, students complete the Business Fundamentals curriculum by taking three advanced seminars that force them to think on a large scale: Business and the World Economy, Global Strategy, and Team and Consulting Skills.

Aperture Glitch = Frustration
When printing from Aperture 3.4.3 I occasionally make a mistake in setting up or the printer software tells me that I need to make an adjustment to its set up before I print.
I find these errors on the last print instruction menu and have to 'cancel' to return to the previous menu to make the alterations. So far so good. After the 'cancel' is hit and the last menu disappears Aperture freezes? No beach ball, no gears and not highlighted in Force quite menu. Resolved - so far - bye 'force quitting' Aperture and starting again, trying to remember the change needed to complete the print. Time consuming, frustrating etc. etc.. Please solve this for me!

Help me love my lovage?
So today I find myself with a big bunch of lovage--it was an impulse by at the farmer's market today. Lovage is an herb that I've never been able to find but which has always intrigued me, partly BECAUSE I've never been able to find it and partly because it seems to get a lot of shout-outs in older recipes (which I know a lot about because I'm a culinary history nerd). Of course, I don't remember any of those recipes now. :-P Can someone give me some tips on how this herb is used, some good recipes that use it etc? I love to try new things and I'm excited about this. :-)
We made a spinach lovage gratin this summer that was fabulous. From The Herbal Kitchen book.
I've put some chopped leaves in salads. It really perks things up.
You can use the leaves or flowers to flavor salts. (You grind with the salt with a mortar and pestle or food processor. Then air dry or dry in a very low oven. I'm not sure it stays scented forever, but smells very good.
It definitely goes well in soups, especially potato soups as mentioned.
I've never thought of freezing it. And will try that next year. My lovage plant this year was very tall -- taller than me and taller than five feet high. So I have a lot of lovage!
Just in time for Thanksgiving, you could chop up and use it in your stuffing (or dressing).
It's also great in soups, esp. chicken or turkey soup.

squat definition
in 19th-century Australian history, an illegal occupier of crown grazing land beyond the prescribed limits of settlement. The inroad of squatters contributed to the growth of the country's wool industry and to the development of a powerful social class in Australian life. By the late 1840s the authorities recognized the economic good derived from the squatters' activity and issued them leases for their sheep runs and tenure extending as long as 14 years. By this time the squatters had a hold on the land; many had become wealthy grandees.

Headers on bbc
chevyboy97, If you want to try a set of headers check these from Summit Racing. In case you don't like them the price isn't that bad. $129.95 1974 CHEVROLET C10 PICKUP Summit Racing® Headers SUM-G9011 - SummitRacing.com. The Hooker headers are 1 7/8" tubing but are $469.95 1974 CHEVROLET C10 PICKUP Hooker Super Competition Headers 2826HKR - SummitRacing.com. Compare both sets of headers I believe I would buy the Summit Racing headers. Whatever set you buy I would get some VHT Ceramic paint silver or black. If you have a way to sand blast them before painting would work better. After painting heat the headers with a propane torch. Don't put the flame directly on them about 6" away. If some paint pops off spray it again while hot. I know Advance Auto and Oriley's carry the VHT Ceramic paint. Flat black SP102 and flat silver SP106. If you know somebody that has a oven to bake them in would be super.

thanks cdminter59 but i have 1 set of headers already that i got with the 402 in the '74 |
Headers on bbc
What size are the tubes on your headers? Are they Hooker headers, is that the reason you were asking a question about Hooker headers on a 402 or 454? I use to have Hooker Super Comp headers on my 454 but that engine had 11.5:1 compression and a solid roller camshaft with .641 lift. Also had a Victor Jr. and a Holley race 850 cfm carburetor.

Real history: 1965 Malibu Z16 In February of '65, at the GM Proving Ground in Mesa, Arizona, Chevy debuted the 396/325-hp V-8 and a 425-hp solid-lifter version for the 'Vette. The Chevelle lacked a big-block option, but one was actually offered via a "secret" program. The Z 16 "Malibu SS 396" was the official name of the hot 365-hp car. It was not promoted, since assemblies were extremely limited. The reason? It was specially engineered at a high cost. On the surface, the Z16 looked like a Chevelle with a 396, but it went beyond that. It was more like a big car than a midsize car, and Chevy wasn't ready to mass produce it. The coupe had an H.D. ragtop frame, reinforced rear suspension, and two added body mounts. "Big-car" 11-inch power drums brakes were fi tted, along with stiff springs and shocks. The L37 V-8 had special left- and right-side exhausts. It was linked to a four-speed. An 8.875-inch ring gear was specified. Features unique to the Z16 included and air cleaner with metal crossed flags, "396 Turbo-jet" badges, a special taillight board with an SS emblem and a unique ribbed black molding. All Z16 Chevelles had a 160-mph speedo, an AM-FM Multiplex four-speaker stereo, and in-dash tach. Chevy made 201 of the Z16s. Z16 was the RPO (Regular Production Option) code given to the 396 engine option in the 1965 Chevelle and was used internally by Chevrolet. The Z16 is the 1965 Malibu SS 396 and was almost never referred to by the Z16 RPO number except in a few non-public Chevrolet documents. But the Z16 was much more than just the big 396 in the Chevelle SS. It was a complete package with many special and heavy duty chassis components including: Heavy duty suspension, special heavy duty rear axle, 4 speed transmission, special frame, special heavy duty power brakes, and unique power steering components. The interior was very special too. A 160 mph speedometer was only available with the SS 396. Mandatory options included a tachometer, deluxe front and rear seat belts, AM/FM stereo radio, padded dash and remote mirror. The 396 engine specified for the Z16 was the L37 375 horsepower version. The L37 was a heavy duty engine with forged crank and pistons, 4 bolt main bearing caps, large port heads, an aluminum intake manifold with a Holley carburetor and an hydraulic camshaft. Other Chevrolets would also receive the 396. The full size Chevrolet got the 325 hp and 425 hp version, the Corvette benefited from the 425 hp 396. The Z16's L37 375 hp and the potent 425 hp engines differed only in their camshafts: the 425 hp version received a more radical, mechanical lifter design. The new Z16 was promoted heavily by Chevrolet. Many automotive magazines road tested or reviewed the special Malibu in the late Spring and Summer of 1965. These include Motor Trend, Car Life, Popular Hot Rodding and Mechanix Illustrated. Celebrities were used for the Z16 promotion including Dan Blocker ("Hoss") from the top-rated 1960's television series "Bonanza". Chevrolet was a major sponsor of the show and felt, apparently, that the muscular Z16 would be well touted in Dan's hands. Blocker received a car to drive and was reportedly asked to share it with some of the other "Bonanza" stars. This very Z16 is in a collector's hands today. Nott every dealer received a Z16 - since it was very limited in production - but they were spread out geographically around the country. New York, South Carolina, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Texas and California dealers all had the 1965 Malibu SS 396. While rare, a few dealers actually got more than one Z16! Naturally, some of the Chevy dealerships that specialized or would specialize in high performance, new Chevrolets would receive cars. Well known dealerships that sold a Z16 include Yenko Chevrolet and Armon R. Smith. Total Chevelle Malibu SS 396 production was 201 cars with one reportedly a convertible. It is not known to survive. About 65 Z16 coupes in restored or unrestored condition still exist making them one of the rarest and most desirable muscle cars. A few racers were lucky to get them on factory sponsored teams. It isn't on the list because its so rare and was never an option and I doubt if one's in his truck or is the used engine he found Jester Last edited by painted jester; 01-30-2013 at 05:25 PM. |

March 21, 2002
Mr. Chairman, I would like to start off by stating, unequivocally, that I consider the FBI to be one of the finest - if not the finest - law enforcement agencies in the world.
But those who we justifiably hold in great regard also bear a great responsibility.
Last spring, we were all disappointed to learn that, in the process of turning over millions of pages of documents to the defendants who were responsible for blowing up the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, the FBI had inadvertently failed to produce some documents.
This is a mistake that never should have happened. Fortunately, with respect to Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, there was no basis for arguing that any of the documents that were not produced would have altered, in any way, the outcome of their trials. Next time we may not be so lucky. I am therefore committed to doing everything necessary to ensure that these types of mistakes do not happen again.
The Department of Justice Inspector General has now completed a thorough and comprehensive review to determine how these documents fell through the cracks and how such mistakes can be eliminated in the future. And before I go on, I would like to acknowledge Glenn Fine, the DOJ Inspector General, for the fine work performed by him and by his staff. This report is clear, thorough, and well-organized, and it should serve as a model for future investigative reports.
There is much good news in the IG report. First, and most importantly, there is nothing in the report that does anything that calls into question the validity of the convictions or the sentences imposed on Timothy McNichols or Terry McVeigh. While I recognize that the guilt or innocence of these men was not the focus of the IG's report, I nevertheless take comfort from the fact that the IG uncovered no information that would even suggest that these men were not the perpetrators of the horrible crimes for which they were convicted. And we must not forget that these men were captured, brought to trial, and convicted for blowing up a federal building and murdering more than 160 men, women and children through the hard work and dedication of the FBI agents and personnel.
Second, I am gratified to learn that the Inspector General determined that the FBI had not purposefully sought to withhold these documents from the defense. The Inspector General found that, in the midst of producing more than a million pages of materials, some 1,033 documents were not turned over, and that the failure to produce these documents was simply a result of human error - not misconduct or malfeasance on the part of the FBI.
Finally, I have been pleased to learn that, under the vigorous leadership of Director Robert Mueller, the FBI has already begun implementing many of the IG's suggested reforms. I applaud the IG for his thorough report and urge the FBI to continue its commitment to overhauling and upgrading its records management systems.
Let me make a final point. When the FBI does its job well, we rarely hear about it. There is no way to tell how many terrorist plots against the United States have been averted simply because of the existence of the FBI's counter-terrorist capabilities.
And when the FBI does make the news, it is, overwhelmingly, for a job well done. It may be the perpetrator of a rape, who has been identified and incarcerated because the FBI laboratory has matched his DNA to evidence found at the crime scene. Or perhaps, a malicious computer virus has been detected by the FBI and traced back to a cyber-criminal operating in a foreign country.
It is this positive record of effectiveness and efficiency that makes it so newsworthy when the FBI fails to perform its duty with the degree of care and professionalism that we have come to expect.
As a United States Senator, I consider it to be one of my most solemn responsibilities to ensure that the awesome powers our law enforcement agencies are exercised in a responsible fashion - that is, in a way that inspires confidence in our citizens, and does not unlawfully infringe on our cherished liberties. I know that my colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, also feel the weight of this responsibility.
Oversight hearings, such as the one we are holding today, are important. I look forward to the testimony of the witnesses today.
But based on my review of the IG's report, the written testimony submitted by the witnesses, and my own knowledge of what Director Mueller has accomplished during his short tenure as Director, I am persuaded that the FBI is taking the appropriate steps to address the shortcomings in records management that were revealed by the Oklahoma City bombing case, and thereby maintain its position as one of the world's most effective law enforcement agencies.

Picasso and his Time
Museum Berggruen
On 16 March 2013, the Museum Berggruen, part of the Nationalgalerie, will reopen its doors to present to the public its famous collection of Modern Art. The museum, which until now was completely housed in the western Stülerbau, has been expanded to include both the former commandant's quarters adjoining the property on Spandauer Damm and the newly designed Bettina Berggruen Garden.
The Museum Berggruen owes its name and genesis to the art dealer and collector Heinz Berggruen (1914-2007). Over a period of more than forty years, he assembled a suite of masterpieces by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Paul Klee, and Alberto Giacometti. The Berggruen Collection was first unveiled in 1996 in a permanent exhibition that went on show in the western Stülerbau entitled 'Picasso and His Time'. In 2000 the Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz acquired the collection on behalf of the Nationalgalerie, of which the museum is part. Today the Museum Berggruen's collection, which has swelled in number thanks to additional significant loans from the Berggruen family, has become one of the most important public collections of Modern Art concentrating on works from the high-modern period.
Heinz Berggruen was born in Berlin-Wilmersdorf in 1914. In 1936 he left Nazi Germany and emigrated to the USA, where he initially worked as a freelance arts journalist, before taking up a post in 1939 at the San Francisco Museum of Art. After the war, Berggruen established a gallery in Paris that represented many of the artists whose works he also began to collect privately. In 1980 Berggruen retired from his gallery business and concentrated on expanding his own collection. During this time his principle interest lay in the artists who today form the core of the museum's collection.
With more than 120 works by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), the Museum Berggruen provides a sweeping overview of Picasso's career and development as an artist. On display are several key works, such as his famous picture of the seated harlequin from his Rose Period, an impressive detail study for Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, as well as numerous portraits of Dora Maar. The collection also focuses on the work of Paul Klee (1879-1940). Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) are also represented, particularly with works from their later periods. And in addition, the museum presents selected works by Georges Braque, Henri Laurens, and Paul Cézanne.

Amanda Black gives us another wonderful blog post on her perspective of the Fosse Master Class Series and what it means to her and fellow participant Anna Schnaitter.
Click the link below…………
This summer the The Fosse Master Class Series was honored to have the one and only Louise Quick teach "The Manson Trio" from Bob Fosse's original production of Pippin. Louise worked with Fosse in pre-production on all the dance numbers for that show. She later went on to London with Gene Foote to stage that production of Pippin.
Louise, a Broadway veteran, started her career in the chorus of Bye Bye Birdie. She was a replacement in the original production of Sweet Charity and went on to assist Fosse and dance in the movie version. She was also in the movie Cabaret, as well as, assisting Fosse on the award winning television special Liza with a Z.
All this week the Fosse Master Class Series is taking on learning The Frug from Bob Fosse's Sweet Charity at Manhattan Movement and Art….Today the morning session was graced with Fosse veterans Carolyn Kirsch and Penny Worth sitting in on the class. Just next door Donna McKecknie, Baayork Lee, and Margo Sappington were filming their signature number from Promises Promises…Turkey Lurky Time. All three ladies stopped by class for a quick run through of what Lloyd Culbreath and Valarie Pettiford had taught the "Fosse Kids" so far. Just another day of Broadway legends…..OMG!!!!!
I am still reeling from the shear force of talent known as Chita Rivera ..Tonight was one of those nights in theater that are too far and few between….Chita's tribute to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS was OFF THE CHAIN YA"LL…So great to be with Valarie Pettiford, Dana Moore, Mary Callahan, and Roumel Reaux representing The Verdon Fosse Estate …..loved sitting next to Andrea Burns while watching my West Side Story buddies Robert Montano, Ramon Del Barrio, and Richard Amaro, and Fosse Master Class teacher Lloyd Culbreath back up Chita….oh yes I'm dropping names…saw John Sefakis, Harvey Evans, Jim Caruso,Kevin Spirtas, Charles Scatamocchia, divalish Carol Schuberg, Jerry McIntyre….and ….Fosse Master Class participants Gabriela Garcia of R.Evolucion Latina, Olivia Bowman Jackson, and Abdur-Rahim Jackson.
In the words of Dana Moore.."it was such a magnificent, once in a lifetime, spirit lifting event!"
Steve Jones, Fosse Master Class Series, Assistant to Nicole Fosse
Great highlights video of the evening below. At the 1:58 mark Chita pays tribute to Gwen Verdon while singing "Nowadays" from the Broadway musical Chicago.
Broadway World sat down with Broadway veterans, Lloyd Culbreath (DANCIN;' BIG DEAL; SOPHISTICATED LADIES; THE TAP DANCE KID; HONKY TONK NIGHTS; ANYTHING GOES; GUYS AND DOLLS; CHITA RIVERA: THE DANCER'S LIFE; NO STRINGS, Encores; HOUSE OF FLOWERS, Encores; CARNIVAL, Encores; PROMISES, PROMISES, Encores; MAN OF LA MANCHA, Asst. Choreo.; ON THE TOWN, Asst. Choreo.) and Valarie Pettiford (TV/Film actress; CHICAGO, as Velma, London with Chita Rivera; SHOW BOAT Revival Tour, Julie; 30th Anniversary Tour of WEST SIDE STORY, Anita; SOPHISTICATED LADIES; GRIND; BIG DEAL; FOSSE, Tony Nominee), to discuss their efforts to preserve Bob Fosse's legendary choreography for the next generation of dancers. The pair held an exclusive Fosse Workshop in early February and invited fifty professional dancers to learn the signature style and articulation of Fosse choreography. Nicole Fosse, the Director and Artistic Advisor for the Verdon Fosse Estate, remarked, "I want this current generation of working dancers to get the best possible people teaching them my father's material. There are so many false impressions out there of what my father's style and technique is…By using Estate sanctioned teachers, I feel a new generation of dancers will have a much cleaner understanding of performing Fosse material."
BWW: What was your dance training growing up?
VP: I'm a native New Yorker so I started here with a teacher by the name of Bernice Johnson. She was one of the premiere teachers back in my day. All the dancers at the time who were doing television shows, Michael Peters, the choreographer for Michael Jackson, Candy Brown, one of Fosse's girls, all came from there – a lot of your top black dancers came from Bernice Johnson. With Bernice, you had to do everything: Afro-Cuban, ballet, tap, jazz, and Flamenco. She would bring in teachers from all over to teach and to choreograph – Michael Peters, Lester Wilson, Frank Hatchett – all "the greats." That's how I started. I am very blessed to have had such extensive training. And then I went to the Performing Arts High School as a ballet major because I originally wanted to be a ballerina. But once I had to take modern dance – you know, you had to take both – I started learning Graham [technique] and I fell in love with my teacher Penny Frank. So I ended up changing majors! I went on to study at the Ailey School, the Joffrey Ballet, and the American Ballet. But then I saw my first Broadway show: THE WIZ. And I said, "I want to do that! I want to go on to the 'Broadway.'" I had always loved to sing and act. So I kept taking class. I am a firm believer that you have to keep "oiling your instrument."
LC: I did not have that experience. I am an asthmatic and when I was a kid, my family almost had to leave New York to move to the dessert because of my health. But my doctor thought that maybe if they put me in some kind of activity it might bolster my system and make me a little healthier. So, I always used to watch "American Band Stand" and my mom decided to put me in dance class. I thought I would learn how to do "the Twist" or something! But I ended up starting in tap at a neighborhood dance studio. My teacher was a former Rockette and she would take me to shows in the city. Dancing professionally, though, never really occurred to me until the time I was about fifteen and saw CHICAGO. There was a dancer in the show, Ross Miles, who I just became fascinated with. And I think something clicked – "Well you dance, and they dance, and they must come from someplace…so I can be up there, too."
BWW: What was your first impression of Bob Fosse?
LC: Well, I was actually Bob Fosse-obsessed coming into town. The first time I saw him was as if you saw Michael Jackson or something! I was definitely a little leery, though. I had auditioned for DANCIN' several times before I actually ended up getting the job. The first time I met him personally was in BIG DEAL. And of course you're trying so hard not to appear as freaked out as you are! When really you want to pinch yourself because you can't believe that you're here. But once you get into the work process, you're calling him "Bob." All bets are off. Your focus is somewhere else and it somehow becomes almost oddly "regular."
VP: The first time I saw Fosse's work was in the film "Kiss Me Kate" in his duet with Carol Haney. Once I found out that he not only danced it but also choreographed it, I was amazed. Then I saw SWEET CHARITY and I was just overwhelmed. It took my breath away. It was an obsession – I felt like I had to do his choreography. The first time I met Bob was when I auditioned for his film, "All That Jazz." I was maybe sixteen and green, green, green! I fell in love with him in the audition room because you can just feel his appreciation for dancers. He loved dancers – he loved their work and he loved their look. You felt appreciated and knew that you were not just another body to act out his choreography. It was intimidating. It was scary as hell. But you wanted to do your best. I got all the way down to the end – pretty good for someone so green! A while later I picked up a copy of Backstage Magazine and saw a call for the first national tour of DANCIN.' I had never seen the show but all I needed to know was "Bob Fosse." I started hyperventilating and said, "Oh my God, I'm getting this show!" And I got that show. But like Lloyd said, once you start working with Bob its still intimidating and challenging, but at the same time you can breathe and enjoy the ride.
BWW: What was your (LC) first Fosse show?
LC: My first Fosse show was when I closed DANCIN' in New York – but I didn't meet him then. I had auditioned for the dance captain and stage manager. So my first show with Bob first-hand was BIG DEAL.
BWW: Can you try to describe Fosse's style in words?
LC: It's very, very specific, focused, structurally intricate, and unbelievably musical.
VP: Passionate! For me, on a personal level, I have never felt so much like a woman – a beautiful, strong, sexy woman – as when I'm doing his choreography.
BWW: How does that feeling translate to you (LC) as a male dancer?
LC: His style was very sensual, but still masculine. The material is emotionally mature. There is a maturity level that's needed to do the work properly.
VP: I agree. You had to have "lived" a little before you could do "Fosse." But that doesn't necessarily mean you had to be older. I auditioned for "All That Jazz" when I was sixteen but I could handle the material…And on a very basic level, I love that you have to have strong technique to dance "Fosse." Everyone immediately thinks that because much of Fosse's choreography is "turned-in," you don't need to have technical training. No, no, no! You have to have the ballet.
LC: Yes, you do have to have the ballet technique. But also, stylistically you must be well rounded in your dance knowledge and have the ability to embrace different types of movement.
VP: Exactly. You have to be able to transition from the ballet of "Crunchy Granola Suite" to the Afro-Cuban of "Calypso" to the jazz of "Steam Heat" because they're all "Fosse." And ultimately you have to be a strong actor. We may not have been speaking lines in the shows, but we had to sing and emote through dance. Our job was almost harder because you needed to convey a story without words. But sometimes Fosse would give you moments of dialogue or he would have you introduce the next number. Often he would call on us to play an instrument, too. You really had to do it all. You had to be a true triple threat.
BWW: What about "behind the scenes?" How was a Fosse show different?
LC: I was very fortunate to work with a lot of different people. I crossed a lot of generations of directors and choreographers. I have to say that in all those experiences, I never felt as prepared to embark on the journey of a show as I did when I worked with Bob. BIG DEAL was a tremendous production. We had a replica of every prop, costume, and set piece in the rehearsal studio. The transition from rehearsal to the stage was absolutely seamless! The attention to detail was elevated to another level of preparedness. It was even a more protected environment because everything was taken care of. It must be like when you're training for the Olympics and you're one hundred and ten percent prepared.
BWW: How did this workshop come about?
LC: We were working on a project commissioned by Nicole Fosse with the American Dance Machine to try and reconstruct the number, "Beat Me, Daddy (Eight to the Bar)" from BIG DEAL. And in that process it just seemed like a great time to keep the ball rolling and explore the material some more. It's just organically evolved and is still evolving.
VP: "Beat Me, Daddy" was part of Bob's last new production, BIG DEAL, a year before he passed away. Kathryn Doby, who was Fosse's assistant for many years (CHICAGO, PIPPIN, and DANCIN'), was at the helm of this project and was pivotal in the process.
BWW: What are the goals for the future of the workshop?
LC: Reconstructing, definitely. We're hoping to jump on a lot of things that haven't been seen quite as much as "Steam Heat" or "The Frug."
VP: "Beat Me, Daddy" was a spark for us. We're trying to find those gems that people haven't seen in a while. We want to sort of rediscover and connect with those works, especially because we have a lot of his [Fosse's] dancers still with us. We want to get that information about REDHEAD and NEW GIRL IN TOWN for preservation because there is no archival of those shows. But we want to keep those amazing works alive for future generations.
LC: It's important, I think, for younger dancers to study [Jerome] Robbins, [George] Faison, [Bob] Fosse, and [Michael] Kidd. The landscape of dancing has changed. You know, every year when the New York Times predicts who will win the Tony Awards, choreography isn't even mentioned anymore. I just think its important for us to see some of these older works so we can move choreography back into the forefront where it belongs.
BWW: In terms of Fosse's work ethic, did you try to bring that into the studio this week?
VP: Well for me, when I did BIG DEAL, I had the opportunity to be part of his "skeleton crew" to create and construct the actual numbers. He would always first go into the studio by himself and then call in a core group of dancers to try and work things through once he translated it onto bodies. It was always constantly evolving.
LC: Certainly a lot of the lessons I learned while working with Bob have shaped how I try to run a rehearsal. But in this case we were much more relaxed. It was demanding, sure, but we were not putting on a show. This workshop was mainly about learning and exploring. If we were in a production, the stakes would have been higher!
VP: His work was so much about detail. You have to be so clean and so exact. And the only way to get that is through repetition, repetition, repetition. I don't care if your feet are hurting or whatever. And there's a reason why you do it over and over again: stamina. When you're doing a show like DANCIN' that has three acts, you've got to have the stamina – especially because the show starts with "Crunchy Granola Suite!"
BWW: The three works you chose to teach this week were "Brass Band" (SWEET CHARITY), "Calypso" (DANCIN') and Winnetka" (DANCIN'). Why did you choose to teach those three numbers for this workshop?
VP: We wanted to show the versatility [of Fosse]. And we wanted to show numbers that people haven't really seen. I mean no one has seen "Calypso" or "Winnetka" in a long, long time.
LC: And "Brass Band" is just so iconic that we had to include it.
BWW: CHICAGO is the only Fosse show currently on Broadway but the revival of PIPPIN is set to open soon. What are your thoughts on that?
LC: It'll be really interesting to see. PIPPIN is a show that needs a lot of stage wizardly to make it a complete evening. It's a long show, one that people don't know very well. It'll also be exciting to see the circus art twist on the show.
VP: Well, I'm embarrassed to say that I've never seen PIPPIN! I obviously know the dance numbers, though. I'm very excited to see what Chet Walker (who was part of the Original Cast of PIPPIN back in 1972) does with the show.
VP: I miss him. I really miss him. And I would have loved to see what he would be doing now. I adored him and am a very lucky gal that I got to work with him in my lifetime.
In 1965, The Nederlanders turned New York City's famed Palace Theatre into a legitimate theatrical stage for the opening of Sweet Charity starring Gwen Verdon.
Gwen Verdon played the title role of Charity Hope Valentine, a taxi dancer at a dance hall called the "Fandango Ballroom" in Times Square, New York City.
Today the Palace Theatre has 1,740 seats and is one of The Nederlander Organization's nine Broadway theatres.
