  Great Performances [#3710H] Twilight: Los Angeles In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Los Angeles riots, GREAT PERFORMANCES presents a special encore of Anna Deavere Smith's "Twilight: Los Angeles," her one-woman/multi-voiced theater piece about the 1991 Rodney King beating, the violent aftermath of the 1992 verdict, and the lasting impact of the LA riots on America's conscience. Smith interviewed hundreds of people involved in the event and its aftermath, and virtually "becomes" some 30 real-life characters -- a Korean grocer, a Hollywood agent, LAPD captain Daryl Gates, a juror, even NRA spokesperson Charlton Heston. Recounting their stories verbatim, Smith assumes their voices and mannerisms with chameleon-like accuracy to chronicle this complex tragedy from its many cultural perspectives. Director Marc Levin weaves Smith's stage performance with news footage and interviews to create an unflinching portrait of rage, sorrow, loss, and battered hope. duration 1:26:46   STEREO TV14-VL

  Priscilla's Yoga Stretches [#101] The 130 programs are designed to air daily, Monday through Friday. The 15- minute segments are frequently coupled together to fill a 30- minute time slot at the option of local programmers. The first three shows demonstrate and explain three to four new postures or exercises per show. The last two shows serve as review so the viewer has a chance to make certain they followed and understood correctly. In addition, if the viewer missed a show, the Thursday and Friday review days bring them up-to-date. At the onset, the program is strictly teaching the "building blocks" of yoga exercise. As the series progresses, the work becomes more demanding. However, there is an effort to always have a fair balance of some basically simple postures mixed in so that everyone will have an opportunity to participate. duration 13:45
