O'Brien is signed through 2005; Marks said contract negotiations haven't opened with him Letterman's "Late Show" won the Emmy Award for best variety show for five straight years, until Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart won in 2003 " Letterman reportedly makes about $31 million a year Terms of the deal were not disclosed This season, both late-night hosts have increased their audiences, but Leno's margin of victory has gotten wider Leno's contract had been due to expire at the end of next year Although he pronounced himself happy with the terms, Leno told The New York Times that "I'm still not making Dave money He was said to make under $20 million annually in his last deal The Hollywood Reporter, quoting unnamed sources, said it was believed Leno would make between $25 million and $27 million per year time slot as host of the "Late Night" show NBC Signs Jay Leno to Contract Extension Mar 30, 10:24 AM EST NBC has inked late-night television's ratings king, Jay Leno, to a contract extension that will keep him as "Tonight" show host until the end of 2009 Leno supplements his income each year through appearances as a stand-up comedian, outside work that Letterman does not do Leno's contract extension leaves up in the air the future of Conan O'Brien, who has no obvious path for advancement at NBC from his 12:35 a "There's room for both Conan and Jay at NBC and we're hopeful that we'll have a long relationship that extends into the future with both hosts," Marks said Leno is averaging 6 2 million viewers a night this season, and Letterman is at 4 nbc Leno, who replaced Johnny Carson as "Tonight" show host in 1992, eclipsed CBS rival David Letterman in the ratings during the 1995-96 season and hasn't looked back Although Leno gets the viewers, Letterman has won more critical plaudits 4 million, according to Nielsen Media Research â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: http://www m com/ "Jay has only gotten stronger in the ratings, and it is important to NBC to secure him through the decade to continue our dominance in late-night," NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks said Tuesday Leno has won the award once, in 1995 "It's about love, pain, sorrow, about our deepest feelings She built on basic human emotions "I had to work so hard to catch up in that class," Dinan says When she gets to New York three hours later, the teen takes the subway to the Graham studios with a lofty goal: learning a language of the body that transformed modern dance the way Picasso changed painting, Stravinsky music and Frank Lloyd Wright architecture This was the Graham company's first full season at City Center, its performing home, since operations were suspended in 2000 because of a court battle over the copyright of Graham's works, brought by her friend and heir, Ronald Protas For example, Martha Graham's inspiration for 'Diversion of Angels' was a Kandinsky painting â€â€? a big splash of red on the canvas "Young dancers must learn to connect all the arts," Brdnik says And the rehearsal continued Last year, he revived this youth program once led by Graham, and which languished after she was gone She believed that explicitly sexual and violently disjointed movements, tremblings and falls expressed the vulnerable human being searching for love â€â€? or some kind of spiritual force She'll attend Marymount Manhattan College this fall, while continuing her training at the Graham school Before Graham, the closest Dinan had been to dancing was baton twirling and cheerleading as a child The training of a Graham artist involves more than the technical agility that liberates the body for emotional expression "And then they can understand things like, this sculpture here is the inspiration for this dance " "Emily hasn't missed a single class of about 100," Tadej Brdnik, 30, a Martha Graham principal dancer who heads its Young Artists Program, says m Martha Graham's dance is not just about the body " Many of the youngsters in the program had never seen a Graham dancer before, Brdnik says marthagrahamdance Days later at City Center, a handful of the budding dancers shared the stage with Graham dancers for the gala opening of the company's two-week run A lot of America is like Martha Graham's pieces: She overcame a lot of obstacles, and she said she was always alone in her mind She started taking ballet lessons at 14 â€â€? considered late for a dancer â€â€? and was far behind the other youngsters in her Doylestown class, taught by two former dancers from Russia's famed Kirov Ballet They are works that resonate with everyone, Dinan says, "because they're about the individual trying to break away from society, to be their own person A federal judge in New York ruled last year that most of Graham's choreography, sets and costumes belong to the dance center she founded in 1926, not to Protas "I give scholarships to two kinds of students: the kind who already know how to dance, and the kind who have something special in them that needs developing Those are the kids who would otherwise never get a chance Brdnik has his students visit art museums, attend music and theater performances, and read great literature as well as Graham's own vivid writings, which reflect the same broad embrace of dance " Dinan started commuting to New York last September, after she auditioned and won a scholarship to the Martha Graham Young Artists Program, which aims "to train tomorrow's dance artists But then, Graham, also a Pennsylvania native, only blossomed as a dancer when she was a young adult Since September, at least twice each week, Dinan boards the Greyhound bus in Doylestown at 6:30 a And this spring, the 17-year-old got her reward: She performed with the Martha Graham Dance Company at City Center, in a work created by the choreographer who helped revolutionize modern dance This dance represents the different stages of love I did not want it to be beautiful or fluid If your partner makes a mistake, you have to make the same mistake with him, and, you have to take a lot of breaths Dinan and McClary both appeared at City Center in "The Owl and the Pussycat," as humanized dolphins breaststroking their way across the water â€â€? a backdrop for this whimsical love story between a dour owl and a frivolous cat His hunger for dance was similar to Dinan's " "I just try to keep up with her," jokes McClary, who forged ahead with the little girl balanced on his back Leading the "Owl" run-through was Terese Capucilli, one of the company's two artistic directors and a longtime Graham star dancer I wanted it to be fraught with inner meaning, with excitement and surge org Dancers stretched and chatted on the studio's wooden floor "But I love the feeling of accomplishment when you work hard And you have to rely on yourself I live in my own mind " Graham once estimated that it takes about a decade to learn the gravity-defying moves, stretches, leaps and other superhuman feats of her choreography Says one entry: "I wanted significant movement "Martha Graham loved teaching teenagers and I want to continue that tradition," Brdnik says That applies to me, with all the traveling At one point, McClary's heaving back carried a baby dolphin â€â€? 8-year-old Chiara Dello Joio, whose main concerns were to "count a lot When Brdnik was a teenager in his native Slovenia â€â€? a tiny nation, once part of Yugoslavia, that's nestled between Italy and Austria â€â€? he spent about three hours a day commuting by bus to and from his public school, home and dance class " At 18, Brdnik did well at an international dance competition in Italy and won a scholarship to study at the Martha Graham Dance School Graham had taught for decades at her studios in a town house on East 63rd Street, where her pupils included some of the greats of modern dance: Alvin Ailey, Twyla Tharp, Paul Taylor, Merce Cunningham His first dance experience came when he was 10, as an "extra" in a local production of "Jesus Christ Superstar During her long hours on the bus, she often leafs through her personal journal, which is filled with hundreds of quotes copied from Graham's writings They rehearsed the piece in the lower Manhattan studios of the American Ballet Theatre, which has far more space than the East 63rd Street building where the Graham school is based "Quiet!" Capucilli shouted And she made them bigger "But you don't need to know Martha Graham technique to know what she did Dinan's small-town America is an exception to the urban experience of LeBaron McClary, 15, who attends high school on Manhattan's West Side " So when he judges would-be dancers at the next auditions on June 12, he'll try to get to know them first, as people " Most of the current 25 students are minorities from New York City's five boroughs It's about passion â€â€? passion for something, passion for anything " Dinan hopes to one day join the Graham company " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: Martha Graham Dance Company, http://www Emily Dinan spends six hours a day on a Greyhound bus, doing her high-school homework during the round-trip ride to New York City from Doylestown, Pa She collaborated with such artists as composer Aaron Copland and sculptor Isamu Noguchi, who designed sets for the company "What draws me to her is that Graham starts with the dancer as a human being, first," he says They were about to repeat the same "dolphin" sequence for the umpteenth time Graham Legacy Still Leads Dancers May 7, 9:56 AM EST It's all for the love of dance Graham died in 1991 at 96, leaving 181 dances |
